PROBLEM 

REASON 

SOLUTION 

I. Poor control of fire in 

the furnace. 

1. Excessive quantity of combustion 
air. 

1. Reduce the quantity of 
combustion air using the adjustment 
lever in the fireplace insert. 

2. Open chimney damper. 

2. Close the chimney damper. 

3. Excessive quantity of inserted 
fuel. 

3. Do not put more fuel and reduce 
the quantity of combustion air, close 
the chimney damper. 

4. Worn gaskets. 

4. Fit new gaskets. 

5. Excessive negative pressure in 
the chimney. 

5. Install a cap type chimney 
attachment and/or install a draught 
moderator. 

II. Fire cannot be lit up 

in the furnace 

1. Closed levers of combustion air 
inlet. 

1. Increase the quantity of 
combustion air. 

2. Clogged openings of air blow-in 
in the furnace. 

2. Clean furnace interior from ash. 

3. Insufficient negative pressure in 
the chimney. 

3. Check if the inspection door is 
closed; clean the chimney and 
connecting duct; recommended 
installation of a mechanical 
combustion gas exhaust. 

4. Too humid wood. 

4. Replace the wood with dry wood 
(humidity under 20%) 

5. Too large slivers used for lighting 
up. 

5. Use smaller slivers. 

6. Bad weather conditions. 

6. Check if burning improves once 
the weather is better. In case of 
recurring problems resulting from 
weather conditions, installation of a 
mechanical combustion gas 
exhaust is recommended. 

III. Smoke comes out 

from the fireplace insert 

1. The chimney and/or connecting 
pipe is not passable. 

1. Cleaning of the chimney and 
connecting pipe is necessary. 

2. The chimney and/or connecting 
pipe is not tight. 

2. Check tightness of closing the 
inspection door in the chimney and 
connection of the connecting pipe. 

3. Excessive negative pressure in 
the room in which the fireplace is 
installed. 

 

3. Supply fresh air to the room in 
which the fireplace is installed (e.g. 
open the window).
