9.3.13 Smoke Smell
Venting system leaks. Inspect all vent connections. This is a pressurized venting
system. All vent connector joints must be sealed and fastened in accordance with the
pellet vent manufacturer's instructions to ensure consistent performance and avoid
smoke and ash spillage
(see Section 4.5.1:
Installation Warnings, Cautions and
Recommendations Reminder).
Worn gaskets. Gaskets may be allowing smoke spillage (doors, clean out traps, etc).
Make sure that all gaskets are in good condition and replace them with original parts if
necessary. Make sure the door is well adjusted (see Section 8.1.9: Door
Adjustment).
Negative pressure. A faint wood-burning odor during ignition or shut down is normal.
Although, if this increases beyond what is considered normal or if you notice an
unusual soot build-up on walls or furniture, check your venting system carefully for
leaks and make sure all gaskets are in good condition. The stove exhaust blower
produces a negative pressure in the room. It draws air from the inside of the room,
through the stove and then outdoors. In the same manner, other appliances can also
create a larger negative pressure. In this case, as the air naturally flows from a high
pressure point to a low pressure point, a larger negative pressure can draw smoke
from the inside of the stove into the room. The stove can also be affected by other
mechanical ventilation systems, causing the same effect as mentioned previously.
Using a fresh air intake will prevent negative pressure (see Appendix F: Combustion
Air supply). Also, make sure the recommended maintenance schedule has been
followed.
Exhaust off delay. The stove is off when the exhaust temperature is cold enough, then
the exhaust fan will keep running for a certain delay to make sure there is no smoke
back draft going to the house. It’s possible to increase the delay of the exhaust fan by
going in the “Troubleshoot” menu at the last page and by pressing the “+” button until
you reach the delay wanted in minute.
9.3.14 Combustion Air Starvation
Venting system is dirty. Refer to Section 8: Maintenance.
The flue is not properly installed. Make certain the venting system meets the criteria
in the installation section of this manual as well as the venting system manufacturer’s
instructions.
Inadequate fuel is used. Remove the burn pot, make sure that all openings are clear
and check that no ash has filled the tube around the igniter. Refer to Section 8:
Maintenance. Also, make sure that recommended fuel is used (see Section 5.2.1:
Proper Fuel) and settings are adjusted to the type of pellets that are being used (see
