4.3  Failures/ Causes / Trouble-shooting
The convection fan does not operate:
There is no electricity.
The bipolar switch could be in the OFF position.
The outside air intake may be obstructed.
There may be some impendiments in the fan box preventing its correct operation (tree leaves, paper sheets, etc.).
The amount of firewood utilized may not be in conformance with what is required in this manual (see technical sheet, section
1.3.2).
The louvers of the warm air outlets may be shut.
The thermostatic sensor could be burnt.
The fan may be blown or blocked (have the service staff check the appliance).
 
There is smoke in the room:
Check that the appliance door is perfectly closed.
Check to see if the gaskets are in good condition.
In the same room there could be another appliance working (stove, fireplace, wood cooker, suction hood) or not (open
fireplace) whose draught may negatively affect that of your appliance or the reverse.
Check to see if the exhaust system (pipe and chimney flue) is air-tight or needs to be cleaned out.
Make sure that there is a good connection between the appliance and the chimney flue.
The size of the chimney flue may not comply with the requirements in this manual (see technical sheet, section 1.3.2).
The first times the appliance is operated, the paint on the metal surfaces releases some smells. Simply aerate the room as
necessary.
Check to see if any impediment (plants, buildings) exceeds the height of the chimney cap thus preventing the smoke
discharge.
The draught in the chimney flue may not be adequate.
The wood used may not be of good quality (see section 1.4.1).
The pipe ducting fresh air from the outside into the fan box may not be airtight.
The cover on the fan casing may not be closed properly; in case of any doubts, seal the cover with high temperature silicone.
If any air intake has been provided on the roof it may be close to the chimney flue opening.
 
Combustion is still lively with the air damper fully closed:
There is probably a leakage in the airtight structure of the appliance; it is time to replace the gaskets.
 
If after checking the previous solutions suggested the problem persists, ask for your dealer assistance service.
In the meantime avoid using the appliance for long time in order to avoid any damages to the electrical
components should the system of forced ventilation be out of order.
