TROUBLESHOOTING
The following are a few conditions that should be evaluated and (corrected if necessary) if an overfiring condition is sus- pected:
Overfiring Caused From Improper Installation - Ensure that all installation requirements have been met as outlined in the installation manual. The chimney should be clean and in good repair. A draft test should be performed to determine if the draft requirements of the appliance are being met. A draft gauge should read between .05 and .07 inches water column (" W.C.).
Excessive draft (above .07 " W.C.) will allow too much com- bustion air to be pulled in which results in hotter burns. Too little draft (below .05 " W.C.) will not allow enough combustion air delivery to maintain a fire (this may result in improper op- eration of appliance, i.e. won't maintain fire unless fuel door is left open. See Care and Operation Section).
Overfiring Caused From Improper Operation - Operate this appliance only as outlined in this manual. Never burn the ap- pliance with the fuel door or ash drawer open or ajar.
Do not operate this stove with the Air Control in the "open" position (pulled out) for extended periods. This wastes fuel and can cause dangerous overfiring condi- tions. NEVER leave the stove unattended on high set- tings.
Overfiring Caused From Improper Maintenance - Strictly adhere to all maintenance requirements at fre- quent intervals as prescribed in this manual including cleaning of flue and stove. Should the fuel door, ash drawer or glass gaskets become worn or damaged, they should be replaced.
Overfiring Caused From Improper Fuel - This appli- ance is approved for use with natural dry well seasoned wood only (ask your authorized dealer what are ap- proved fuels for your area). Do not burn garbage, parti- cleboard scraps, or pressed logs using bonding agents because they can produce conditions that will deterio- rate metal. Do not overload or use kindling wood or mill ends as primary fuel as this may cause overfiring.
