  If the Franco Belges Stove is smoking, with soot buildup and flame imbalance, several factors could be at play. First, ensure sufficient air supply by opening a door or window, or adding a make-up air supply. Check the chimney for soot buildup and clean if needed. Also, make sure the chimney height is sufficient and not obstructed. If the room has negative pressure, increase fresh air. For low oil flow, adjust the low flow rate while the control is on '1'. Ensure the stove is level, and center the catalyser assembly. Clean the de-scaler, regulator filter, and burner pot if fuel is insufficient. Unlock the draft regulator. You may also need to check the regulator adjustment.

  If the flame of your Franco Belges Stove is excessively large, smokey, and sooty, it might be due to a fuel adjustment made too quickly. Return the control knob to '1' and wait for normal combustion. Also, allow 5 to 15 minutes between each adjustment.

  If your Franco Belges Stove burns noisily, extinguishes, and relights itself, it could be due to excess fuel in the burner. Adjust to a lower setting. Also, check that the de-scaler, the regulator filter and burner pot are cleaned if there is insufficient fuel.
