Further information: See the section on lighting and

blocked. Ensure that the chimney height is correct
in relation to its surroundings.
Only fire with firewood that has dried for at least 12
months beneath a covered shed and with a maxi-
mum water content of 20%.
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.
Pull the damper beneath the door further out and
the stove will take in more pane-flushing air.
Place more firewood inside the stove and pull out
the damper a bit more.
Open the damper.
Ensure that the smoke pipe or chimney is not
blocked. Ensure that the chimney height is correct
in relation to its surroundings.
Never open the door if the firewood is in flames.
Pull the damper beneath the door further out
and the stove will take in more pane-flushing air.
Moreover, igniting a larger quantity of wood might
be needed.
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.
Close the damper in the chimney a bit at a time until
the problem is solved. At the same time, completely
shut off the primary air supply.
Close the door completely. If it cannot close complet-
ely, it must be replaced with an original spare part.
