4 Troubleshooting for Homeowner

A. Frequently Asked Questions

 

ISSUES

 

SOLUTIONS

1.

Metallic noise.

1.

Noise is caused by metal expanding and contracting as

 

 

 

it heats up and cools down, similar to the sound pro-

 

 

 

duced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not

 

 

 

affect the operation or longevity of your appliance.

 

 

 

 

2.

White ash buildup on glass.

2.

This is normal. Clean the glass using any non-abrasive

 

 

 

glass cleaner.

 

 

 

 

3.

Glass has buildup of black soot

3.

Excessive build-up of ash. See solution #4. The lower

 

 

 

burn settings will produce more ash, the higher burn

 

 

 

settings produce less. The more it burns on low the

 

 

 

more frequent cleaning of the glass is required.

4.

Glass has turned dirty.

3.

Excessive build up of ash. The lower burn settings will

 

 

 

produce more ash, the higher burn settings produce

 

 

 

less. The more it burns on low the more frequent clean-

 

 

 

ing of the glass is required.

5.

Fire has tall flames with black tails and is lazy.

4.

The feed rate needs to be reduced or the firepot needs

 

 

 

cleaning. Heat exchanger or exhaust blower needs

 

 

 

cleaning.

6.

Smokey start-up or puffs of smoke from the airwash.

5.

Either the firepot is dirty or there is too much fuel at

 

 

 

start-up and not enough air. Close down feed rate 1/4

 

 

 

(6mm) inch at a time until this no longer happens.

 

 

 

 

6.

Large flame at start-up.

6.

This is normal. Flame will settle down once the fire is

 

 

 

established.

 

 

 

 

NOTICE: Odors and vapors are released during initial operation due to the curing of high tem- perature paint. Open windows for air circulation. Odors may be irritating to sensitive individuals.
