Poor draught in the stove after installation
• Checkthatthelengthofthechimneycorrespondstothe
requirements: it should rise 1 metre above the ridge of the
roof, and its total length should be at least
3.5 metres
• Checkthatthereisnoblockageinthechimneythatprevents
smoke and fumes from escaping, and that there is no house or
tree nearby that is affecting the wind around the chimney.
• Checkthecross-sectionalareaofthechimney(existingbrick
chimneys only) which should be 150–200 cm
2
.
The fire is difficult to light and dies after a
short while
• Thismaybebecausethewoodistoodamp.Checkyourwood.
• Anotherreasonmaybethatthereisnegativepressureinthe
house, for example when using a kitchen extractor fan or other
mechanical ventilation. Open a window near to the stove when
you light it. You can try lighting some newspapers and holding
them up inside the stove to get the draught going.
• Theairsupplyconduitfromtheoutsidemaybecompletelyor
partially blocked. Disconnect the supply of air from outside,
and try to light the fire using only the air in the room.
• Checkthattheairsupplycontrolisopen.
• Thesmokeoutlet/chimneydampermaybeblockedbysoot.This
sometimes occurs after sweeping. Remove the smoke baffle
and check
• Finallygothroughthelightinginstructionsagain.Ifthe
amount of wood you have used is too small, the glowing embers
may be too few and too cool to provide enough heat to light the
next batch of wood.
Abnormally large soot deposits on the glass
A certain amount of soot will always accumulate on the glass.
These soot deposits will increase each time the fire is used. Soot
on the glass is usually caused by three things:
• Dampwood,whichcausespoorcombustionwithalargeamount
of smoke as a result.
• Toolowatemperatureinthefire-box.Thisresultsinan
excessive amount of smoke and a poor draught in the chimney.
• Failuretocarryoutprocedurescorrectly:forexample,not
leaving the door ajar for approx. 5 minutes.
Check that the wood is dry. Make sure that there is a good bed of
glowing embers and study the lighting instructions once again.
Smell of smoke near the stove at certain times
This can occur when the wind blows down the chimney. More
often than not, this happens only when the wind is blowing from
a certain direction. Another reason for this may be if the door is
left open when the fire is burning fiercely.
Lacquered components become discoloured
If lacquered components become discoloured, the temperature in
the stove is too high. This may be because the fire-box has been
stoked with too much wood or with unsuitable wood (building
waste, excessive quantities of finely chopped wood etc.). The
manufacturer’s guarantee does not cover damage caused by
using the wrong wood. Lacquered components that have been
damaged can, however, easily be replaced. Contact your stove
supplier, who will be pleased to assist.
If problems arise that you cannot rectify yourself, please contact
your stove supplier or chimney sweep.
We hope that the hints and tips in this brochure will help you
to get the very best use, enjoyment and economy out of your
Contura stove.
Possible causes of operating problems
and remedies
Warning!
When the stove is in use certain surfaces become very hot. Physical contact with these surfaces can cause skin burns.
Pay particular attention also to the high temperatures of the heat radiated through the glass door. Do not place combustible
material closer than the recommended safe distances. Failure to observe these safe distances can result in an uncon trolled fire.
A smouldering fire can cause gases and fumes to ignite without warning, with the risk of causing damage to both persons and
property.
