are defective.
Replace seals.
Pressure equalisation plate is not supported
properly.
Carefully position pressure equalisation plate.
The output controller is set too high.
Set output controller lower
The delivery pressure (chimney draught) is too
high.
Clarify with chimney-sweeper.
-
View window
pane quickly
covered with soot
Imperative: every glass window must be cleaned
from time to time after use, see Chapter 12.4.
“Cleaning the appliance surfaces”.
The delivery pressure (chimney draught ) is too
low.
Clarify with chimney-sweeper.
Operate the oven for starting as described in
Chapter 12.4. “Igniting and normal operation” .
-
Stove has a
strong smell or
smokes on the

because ignition transformer is defective.
Have the ignition transformer replaced by
technical personnel.
-
