6. SUPPORT
6.1 GLASS SOOTING HEAVILY, FAST AND UNEVENLY
If this was not the case from the onset, please ask yourself the following:
• Correct burning material and techniques used? (“2. Fuel“ on page 5)
• No change of season (“4.1 Heating between seasons“ on page 10)?
• No atmospheric inversion (chimney cannot build up a draft)?
• Ash tray and grid not blocked?
• Combustion air control fully open (adjustment lever on the right)?
• External combustion air duct not blocked?
• Does sooting occur quickly – within thirty minutes? (gradual sooting
during operation is normal. A car window also gets dirty when driving!)
• Is the seal correctly seated?
Only contact your specialized dealer/fireplace installer if you can reply “Yes”
to all the questions – without improvement.
