Problem

Possible Cause

Try the Following

I cannot make a 

sufficient fire in 

the stove .

Incorrect lighting .

Further information: See the section on 

lighting and firing the stove.

Poor chimney draft .

Ensure that the smoke pipe or chimney is not 

blocked . Ensure that the chimney height is 

correct in relation to its surroundings .

The glass pane 

is covered in 

soot .

The wood is too 

moist . 

Only fire with firewood that has dried for at 

least 12 months beneath a covered shed and 

with a maximum water content of 18%.

A seal in the door is 

loose .

The seals should be soft and flexible. If they 

are not, replace them . New seals can be 

purchased from your local wood-burning stove 

dealer .

Insufficient supply of 

secondary air to the 

pane-flushing system.

Move the regulating handle further to the left .

The temperature inside 

the stove is too low .

Put more wood in the stove and move the 

regulating lever further to the left . 

Smoke enters 

the room when I 

open the door .

The damper in the 

chimney is closed . .

Open the damper .

Poor chimney draft .

Ensure that the smoke pipe or chimney is not 

blocked . Ensure that the chimney height is 

correct in relation to its surroundings .

The firewood is in 

flames.

Never open the door if the firewood is in 

flames.

The fire-proof 

materials in the 

combustion 

chamber are 

blackened after 

firing.

You have not fired 

enough, i .e ., there 

is not enough air or 

firewood.

Move the regulating handle further to the left . 

Moreover, igniting a larger quantity of wood 

might be needed .

Combustion is 

uncontrollable .

A seal in the door or 

ash drawer is loose .

The seals should be soft and flexible. If they 

are not, replace them . New seals can be 

purchased from your local wood-burning stove 

dealer .

Excess chimney draft. Close the damper in the chimney a bit at a time 

until the problem is solved . At the same time, 

move the regulating lever further to the right .

The door is not com-

pletely sealed .

Close the door completely . If it cannot close 

completely, it must be replaced with an original 

spare part .
