Problem

 

 

Possible Cause

 

 

 

Smoke

Enters Room

• Cold Air Blockage - burn a piece of newspaper to

During

Start-Up

 

 

establish a draft.

 

 

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

 

 

 

crack in the door is all that is needed.

 

 

 

 

Smoke

Enters Room

•

Let the air stabilize before fully opening the door. Push

While

Re-Loading

 

the air control in before opening the door. Then open

 

 

 

 

 

 

the door approximately 1 inch. Let air go into the

 

 

 

 

 

 

firebox for a few seconds. Once the smoke appears to

 

 

 

 

 

 

be flowing up the chimney consistently, open 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.

 

 

Stove Does Not Burn Hot

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

Enough

 

 

 

page 27 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 in. Slide the control back and

 

 

 

 

 

 

forth to insure the control is not stuck.

 

 

 

 

 

 

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

•

This appliance burns for up to 8 hours. Depending

Long

Enough

 

 

upon wood, draft, and other factors, the burn time may

 

 

 

 

 

 

be shorter. Make sure the doors are sealing and not

 

 

 

 

 

 

allowing air into the firebox - See the section "Door and

 

 

 

 

 

 

Glass Inspection" on page 30 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.

790, 745 specifications

Avalon Stoves has made a name for itself in the realm of high-efficiency wood stoves, and the Avalon 745 and Avalon 790 models stand out as exceptional choices for homeowners looking to heat their spaces sustainably and effectively. These units are designed with a focus on performance, aesthetics, and user-friendliness, making them ideal for both new installations and replacements.

One of the main features of the Avalon 745 is its unique design that accommodates larger logs while maintaining an efficient burn. With a firebox capacity of 3.4 cubic feet, this stove can hold logs up to 18 inches in length, allowing for longer burn times and reduced wood handling. The 790 model, on the other hand, offers an even larger capacity, making it suited for heating larger spaces or for users who prefer fewer reloads. Both models feature a top-loading design that simplifies the process of adding fuel.

In terms of technology, Avalon stoves employ a range of advanced features to optimize heating output. One key aspect is the secondary combustion system, which enhances efficiency by allowing the smoke and gases released during burning to combust again. This not only maximizes heat output but also minimizes emissions, making the stove a more environmentally friendly option. Additionally, the air wash system helps keep the glass clean, providing an unobstructed view of the fire while reducing the frequency of maintenance.

The construction quality of Avalon stoves is noteworthy. Built with heavy-duty steel and lined with firebrick, these stoves are designed for durability and heat retention. The high-efficiency design ensures that the heat generated is distributed evenly throughout the room, providing consistent warmth even during the coldest months. With an EPA certification, both the 745 and 790 models meet stringent emission standards, making them one of the cleaner-burning options available.

Aesthetic appeal is also a significant consideration in the design of Avalon stoves. Both models feature a sleek, contemporary look that can seamlessly integrate into a variety of home decors. Customers can choose from a range of finishes and door styles to match their personal preferences and existing interiors.

In conclusion, the Avalon 745 and 790 stoves highlight the brand's commitment to efficiency, quality, and style. With their advanced technologies, robust construction, and elegant designs, these stoves not only provide warmth but also enhance the ambiance of any living space. For homeowners seeking a reliable and attractive heating solution, Avalon stoves are a commendable choice.
