Trouble Shooting; Spacer Connection - Wamsler K 118 Instructions D'installation Et D'utilisation

3.5 Trouble shooting

Nevertheless faults may occur. The reason can be the chimney, the fuel or the emission
pipe system. A short period with a smell and smoke when first starting is quite normal.
Make sure the room is properly ventilated.

3.6 Spacer connection

If the range is to be incorporated in a fitted kitchen, then the interface between an adjoining
floor cupboard made of wood should be fitted with spacer connections available from the
factory. This thermal spacer has been tested to EN standards together with the range and
complies with the building regulations for fire protection.
The spacer connection is either 55 mm or 110 mm wide and should be mounted on the
range frame as a unit and can be adjusted in height (Fig. 11).
Check/Remedy
Open the ash door for a short time (high outdoor
temperature can cause poor draught).
Warm up the chimney with wood wool (either in the
chimney or in the range).
Open the ash door for a short time.
Do not use any damp or smoke intensive fuel.
Fill the fire chamber slowly and a little at a time.
When the range was last cleaned?
Is the flue connection not sealed properly?
Are all cleaning doors on the range and chimney properly
closed?
Is a fresh air supply ensured from adjoining rooms? (doors
and windows should not be absolutely tight)
Is the chimney overloaded or not sealed properly?
Open the ash door for a short time.
Add less fuel.
Have the cinders been removed?
Is there a nail or something jammed in the grate?
Is the fuel too damp?
