4.Place crumpled pieces of newspaper in stove. Light it and close door. Ensure that stove draws properly through primary draft.
5.Check for smoke leaks around door.
6.Open door and check for smoke escaping from front of stove. Smoking usually indicates a defective or poorly positioned chimney. Some chimneys with a marginal draft can be preheated by lighting newspaper and holding it near open damper with a poker or fire tong. Once chimney heats up, a proper draft can usually be obtained.
If a thorough review of Troubleshooting Guide in rear of manual does not reveal problem, contact your dealer for assistance.
