2.Burning unseasoned wood
See User Instructions, Section 3 to identify when wood is ready for burning.
3.Stove operated at too low a temperature
A stove pipe thermometer can identify this problem (Stovax part no 3046). The ideal working temperature range is 130°C - 250°C (270°F - 480°F). Failing to close down the Primary Air Control once the appliance has heated up to this range may cause the appliance to exceed the ideal temperature range and to
The problem may be caused by damping down the appliance during periods of extended burning.
4.Problems with the flue, in particular insufficient air pull. If the flue is not working efficiently the glass can blacken. A flue which has too much downdraft may be too short, needs lining, or has too many bends. This can also cause blackening of the stove glass. Contact the installer or a flue specialist for advice.
