Troubleshooting

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Problem

Possible Cause

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Smoke Enters Room

• Cold Air Blockage - burn a piece of newspaper to

 

 

 

 

 

During Start-Up

establish a draft.

 

 

 

 

 

 

• By-pass is Closed - Open the by-pass by pulling the

 

 

 

 

 

 

ring above the door all the way out.

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Close the doors - if the flame is not getting enough air,

 

 

 

 

 

 

first make sure the air control is open (all the way left). If

 

 

 

 

 

 

additional air is needed, a small crack in the door is all

 

 

 

 

 

 

that is needed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kindling Does Not Start -

• Cold Air Blockage - burn a piece of newspaper to

 

 

 

 

 

Fire Smolders

establish a draft.

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Not enough starter paper - use additional newspaper if

 

 

 

 

 

 

necessary.

 

 

 

 

 

 

• By-pass is Closed - Open the by-pass by pulling the

 

 

 

 

 

 

ring above the door all the way out.

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Not enough air - first make sure the air control is open

 

 

 

 

 

 

(all the way left). If additional air is needed, a small crack

 

 

 

 

 

 

in the door is all that is needed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Smoke Enters Room

• By-Pass is Closed - Open the by-pass (the ring above

 

 

 

 

 

While Re-Loading

the doors) using gloves or a tool before opening the

 

 

 

 

 

 

door.

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Insufficient Draft - Chimney height and outside

 

 

 

 

 

 

conditions can negatively affect draft. In these cases a

 

 

 

 

 

 

small amount of smoke may enter the home. Adding

 

 

 

 

 

 

more pipe or a draft-inducing cap may help.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fireplace Does Not Burn

• Wood is Wet - see the section "Selecting Wood" on

 

 

 

 

 

Hot Enough

page 12 for details on wood.

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Insufficient Draft - Chimney height and outside

 

 

 

 

 

 

conditions can negatively affect draft. In these cases

 

 

 

 

 

 

the fire may burn slowly. Adding more pipe or a draft-

 

 

 

 

 

 

inducing cap may help.

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Air Control is Not Wide Open - Make sure the air control

 

 

 

 

 

 

is all the way to the left. Slide the control back and forth

 

 

 

 

 

 

rapidly to insure the control is not stuck.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Blower Does Not Run

• Fireplace is Not Up to Temperature - This is normal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The blower will come on when the fireplace is hot -

 

 

 

 

 

 

usually 15 to 30 minutes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Electricity is Cut to the Blower - Check the household

 

 

 

 

 

 

breaker or fuse to make sure it is operable.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Faceplate is Cold

• This is Normal - The air leading into the firebox comes

 

 

 

 

 

 

from the exterior. In some cases this air comes into the

 

 

 

 

 

 

firebox and exits up the chimney. This will not damage

 

 

 

 

 

 

the fireplace nor cool the home much.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fireplace Does Not Burn

• The doors are not sealing - See the section "Check the

 

 

 

 

 

Overnight

Door Seal, Adjust if Necessary" on page 16 for details.
