The cross-section in the chimney is too large which
results in no or very low draught.
The cross-section in the chimney is too small and the
chimney cannot carry out all the smoke.
The chimney is too low and hence a poor draught.

Explanation
Contact a chimney sweeper / dealer for more information or clean the
lue, smoke bale and burn chamber.
Verify the assembly of the smoke bale - see assembly instructions.
Light the ire with an open window. If this helps, more/bigger vents must
be installed in the room.
Turn of/regulate extractor and/or other ventilation. If this helps, more
vents must be installed.
One lue must be repositioned. The height diference of the two lue
pipes must be of at least 30 cm.
The lue must be moved so that there is an inclination of at least 10º
from smoke dome to chimney. Possibly install a smoke suction device*.
The lue must be reconnected so that it does not enter into the chimney
but ends 5 mm before the chimney inner wall. Possibly install a smoke
suction device*.
Soot hatches must always be closed. Hatches that are not tight or are
defected must be changed.
Close damper, doors and top draught vents on ireplaces that are not in
use.
Holes must be completely sealed of with masonry.
Seal and plaster all cracks and sites that are not tight.
The chimney must be reitted, possibly install a smoke suction device*.
Change to a smaller ireplace or build new chimney with a larger cross
section. Possibly install a smoke suction device*.
Increase the height of the chimney and/or install a chimney cap/smoke
suction device*.
Increase the height of the chimney and/or install a chimney cap/smoke

Increase the height of the chimney and/or install a chimney cap/smoke

Any possible leakage must be sealed of. A draught regulator or possibly
a damper can reduce the chimney draught. NB! A leakage of only 5 cm2
is enough for 30% of the heated air to disappear.
Verify the positioning of the smoke bufer – see assembly instructions.
Turn down the air supply.
Replace the gaskets, contact your dealer.
Contact chimneysweeper or other professional for more details.
Only use dry wood with a humidity of maximum 20%.
Open the air vent control to add air to the combustion. When new
wood logs are inserted all vent controls should be completely opened
or the door slightly opened until the lames have a good take on the
wood.
Follow the guidelines in this user guide for correct combustion.
Ensure to use only dry and clean wood.
Open the air vent control for about 1 min before opening the door –
avoid opening the door too quickly.
Open the door carefully and/or only when there is hot ember.
Increase the air supply.
