These replaceable parts should be replaced when it is deemed that they are no longer fit for purpose,
running your burner with worn or broken parts may result in poor performance, an increase in fuel
consumption, and even damage the burner's firebox or other vital parts. We highly recommend a
frequent visual inspection of these parts be carried out to determine whether replacement is required.
18 Common Issues and Problem Solving
Blackening of the door glass
–
Blacking of the glass is due to poor combustion, reasons can be.
wet wood- heater being run on low setting for long periods- leaking door seals-incorrectly fitted
components-poor flue draught-lack of combustion air
Only burn dry wood with an approx moisture content of 25% or less.
Make sure to run the heater on high occasionally to burn off creosote buildup on the glass.
Have the door and glass seals checked and replaced as required.
Have the heater inspected to ensure correct fitment of internal parts.
Have the heater installation checked remedy reasons for lack of flue draught.
Remedy the reason for a lack of air into the room where the heater is situated.
Smoke entering the room
–
Smoke entering the room can be caused by several conditions, a lack of flue temperature, air starvation/
negative pressure in the room, incorrect flue system/ terrain, pitch of the roof, staggered roofs, poor
wood quality, installation issues and/or blocked flues.
Running the heater on a higher setting to increase the flue temperature especially when refuelling the
heater.
Always make sure the room has an adequate air supply i.e. fresh air inlet, make sure there are no
extractor fans running and or heat transfer kits.
Different flue terminations, extending the flue making sure there are no large trees around.
Make sure that the wood you are using has the correct moisture, is not to hard/ dense and is not too
resinous.
Have the installation checked and making sure that all flue joints are sealed, the correct flue lengths
have been used, the flue termination is adequate and all heater components are fitted.
Have the flue cleaned regularly, some situations may call for more frequent cleaning.
Paint
–
Paint fade, flaking and surface marks can be common issues with paint.
Paint fade is a normal process mostly seen in the hotter areas of the heater, this can be easily fixed at
the end of the season with a touch up using STOVE BRIGHT metallic black paint.
Flaking paint can be caused by the use of chemical sprays/ cleaners or impurities in the paint
Consult your local dealer to have this inspected.
Surface marks can mostly be resolved with touching up the heater with the use of STOVE
BRIGHT metallic black paint.
Be sure to ONLY use a soft DRY cloth to clean your heater, the use of any other products May damage
the paint on the heater.
NEVER use a wet or damp cloth to clean your heater.
