11. FAULTS - CAUSES - SOLUTIONS
PROBLEM
The fire is burning with a weak, orangecoloured
flame. Pellets are building up in the fire pan,
window is covered in soot.
CAUSE:
● Inadequate combustion air
POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS:
● Ensure that the fire pan sits in the fire pan
holder correctly - the fire pan must fit tightly on
the fire pan holder.
● Remove any ash or clinker that is blockin the air
inlet openings, from the fire pan. If possible
change to a better quality pellet.
● Check if the flue gas outlet is blocked with ash
(see "Maintenance" page)
● Check if the air inlet channel or flue tube is
blocked
● Check the door seal for leaks
● Clean the impeller.
● Have the stove serviced by an authorised
specialist company (control adjustment, flue
gas fan).
PROBLEM
Fire goes out or the stove switches off
automatically
CAUSE(S):
● Pellet container is empty.
● Pellets were not fed in.
● Thermostatic switch (upper temperature limit)
triggered.
● Door leaking or not closed tightly.
● Poor pellet quality
● Pellet feed rate too low
● Thermostatic switch (lower temperature limit)
triggered.
POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS:
● Fill up pellet container
● See the following section "Pellets not fed in"
● Let the stove cool down for an hour and
then re-start
● See "Routine maintenance"
● Only use a pellet quality recommended by us
