PROBLEM: Door glass quickly becomes coated with creosote.

If you burn your stove on med-lo for extended time-periods, the glass will become coated with creosote. Usually the creosote can be burned off by burning your stove on high for 1 hour with a fresh fuel load.

CAUSE

Low thermostat setting or lowering the thermostat setting too far, too quickly.

Poor draft caused by an oversize or short flue, etc.

Obstruction in chimney or cap screen.

Strong, gusting winds causing downdraft in chimney.

Tightly sealed house, inadequate air supply.

Burning poorly seasoned wet wood, or wood with high pitch content,

SOLUTION

Turn the thermostat to the warmest setting during the first 20 - 30 minutes or until

the fire is well established after each reloading.

Measure draft with Manometer.

See DRAFTS, page 9 & 21. See CHIMNEY, page 8. Consult your Blaze King dealer or a chimney sweep.

Remove obstruction. Clean chimney and/or cap screen.

Install wind-resistant chimney cap.

Open a window, slightly, near the stove.

Use seasoned wood with low pitch content. such as some types of pine.

PROBLEM: The catalyst temperature cannot be controlled. Turning the thermostat down often makes the catalyst temperature go up.

CAUSE

Turning the thermostat down, particularly in the first half of the burn cycle, causes the fire to emit more smoke, which is fuel for the catalyst. The catalyst temperature therefore climbs for up to several hours. This is normal, and is of no concern. As long as only the catalyst temperature is elevated, there is nothing to worry about.
