SToVe IS PRodUCING TAR:
You can recognise this from the following traits:
Very strong pungent smell shortly after the stove is lit and as
the stove heats up, glass blackening and, possibly, can be
seen as a thick, brown and sticky material oozing from your
stove pipe joints.
This is caused by burning damp wood and burning your
stove at too low a temperature. To resolve this only use well
seasoned wood and ensure your stove is operating in the
ideal temperature range. Tar is a major cause of chimney
fires - if you experience problems with tar build up, please
consult a chimney sweep before continued use of your
stove.
Ideal working temperature range is 10°C and 40°C
(70°F – 465°F). If you fail to close down your primary air
control once the stove has heated up to this range you may
cause your stove to overfire and the temperature to exceed
the ideal range. Overfiring can cause permanent damage to
your stove and will invalidate your warranty.
HINGe PIN RIdING UP:
This occurs when the hinge block has moved out of
alignment. To correct this adjust the hinge blocks back to
the vertical position. See section 10 page 1 for information
on adjusting the door hinges.
