Troubleshooting

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Problem

Possible Cause

 

 

 

 

Smoke Enters Room During

• Open the bypass (pg. 21).

 

 

 

 

Start-Up

• Open the air control (pg. 23).

 

 

 

 

 

• Cold Air Blockage - burn a piece of newspaper to

 

 

 

 

 

establish a draft.

 

 

 

 

 

• If the flame is not getting enough air, a small crack in

 

 

 

 

 

the door is all that is needed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kindling Does Not Start - Fire

• Open the bypass (pg. 21).

 

 

 

 

Smolders

• Open the air control (pg. 23).

 

 

 

 

 

• Not enough starter paper - use additional newspaper if

 

 

 

 

 

necessary.

 

 

 

 

 

• If the flame is not getting enough air, a small crack in

 

 

 

 

 

the door is all that is needed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Smoke Enters Room While Re-

• Open the bypass before opening the door (pg. 21).

 

 

 

 

Loading

• Open the air control before opening the door (pg. 23).

 

 

 

 

 

• Open the loading lid 1 inch and let air enter the firebox

 

 

 

 

 

for a few seconds. Once the smoke appears to be

 

 

 

 

 

flowing up the chimney consistently, open the loading

 

 

 

 

 

lid completely.

 

 

 

 

 

• 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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stove Does Not Burn Hot Enough

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

 

 

 

 

 

page 26 for details on wood.

 

 

 

 

 

• Make sure the air control is all the way open. Slide the

 

 

 

 

 

control back and forth to insure the control is not stuck.

 

 

 

 

 

• 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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Blower Does Not Run

• Stove is Not Up to Temperature - This is normal. The

 

 

 

 

 

blower will come on when the stove 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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stove Does Not Burn Long

• Depending upon wood, draft, and other factors, the

 

 

 

 

Enough

burn time may be shorter then stated. Make sure the

 

 

 

 

doors are sealing and not allowing air into the firebox -

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

See the section "Door and Glass Inspection" on page

 

 

 

 

 

29 for details.

 

 

 

 

 

• Check the ash bed for coals. Often, coals are still

 

 

 

 

 

glowing under a slight bed of flyash. By raking these

 

 

 

 

 

into a pile you can re-start your stove quickly.
