Solution
Operate the fire-place on a low
heating level according to the
instructions manual for a few
hours. Then heat up for maximal
performance for a few hours.

Have the heating
requirement of the room
examined by an expert

Chimney draught shall be at
least 10 Pa

Check the tightness of your
chimney and also that the
doors of other fire-places
leading to the same chimney
are closed and sealed
properly. Make sure that the
chimney-cleaning joints are
sealed properly.
All the smoke tube joints
must be well sealed and
fireproof-isolated
