operational problems
The chimney must be swept at least once a year,
we recommend the use of a NACS (national as-
sociation of chimney sweeps) registered chim-
ney sweep. In the event of smoke or malodorous
fumes being produced, you must first check to
see whether the chimney is blocked. The chim-
ney must, of course, always provide the minimum
draught necessary to ensure that it is possible
to regulate the fire. Please note, however, that
chimney draft is dependent on the weather con-
ditions. In high winds, the draft can become so
powerful that it may be necessary to fit a damper
in the flue gas pipe to regulate the draft. When
cleaning the chimney, soot and other deposits
may come to fall on the smoke turning plate. In

cases where the wood burns too quickly, this
may be due to excessive chimney draught. You
should also check to make sure that the door
seal is intact and correctly fitting.
If the stove it generating too little heat, this may
be because you are firing with wet wood. In this
case, much of the heating energy is used to dry
the wood, resulting in poor heating economics
and an increased risk of soot deposits in the
chimney.
Check whether the air holes in the stones are
blocked with for example ashes etc. Below the
casted shaking grate is it possible to clean the
air channel for the start-up airflow.
