What to do if my Heta Wood stove has lighting problems and smoke seeps into the room when cold?
If your stove experiences lighting problems and smoke seeps into the room when it's cold, the cause might be inadequate chimney draft. To solve this, you should improve the chimney draft.
Why does my Heta Wood stove burn poorly and the glass soots up?
Several factors can cause poor burning and soot buildup. These include soot in the flue pipe (clean regularly, limit horizontal flue pipes, and avoid firewood that generates a lot of ash), inadequate chimney draft (improve the chimney draft), insufficient air supply (refer to the operating instructions), damp wood (use firewood dried for at least one year after splitting), firewood pieces that are too large (use smaller pieces), and insufficient air supply to the room (open windows or clean the outdoor air connection).
Why does my Heta Stove burn poorly and the glass soots up?
If your Heta Stove burns poorly after start-up and the glass slowly soots up, several factors could be at play: * Inadequate chimney draft: You may need to improve the chimney draft. * Insufficient air supply: Consult the operating instructions and educate all users on proper operation. * Damp wood: Ensure firewood is dried for at least one year after splitting. * Firewood pieces too large: Use smaller pieces of firewood. * Insufficient air supply to the room: This can be caused by range hoods or airtight windows. Open windows or clean the outdoor air connection, depending on the cause.
Why is my Heta Stove ticking?
If your Heta Stove is ticking, it's due to normal expansion and contraction caused by temperature changes. Ensure that the temperature in the combustion chamber is as constant as possible.
Why does my Heta Stove 'clunk'?
If your Heta Stove 'clunks', it's usually due to tension in the metal plates. Adjusting the metal plates should resolve this.
Why does my new Heta Stove smell and steam?
If your Heta Stove smells and the surface is steaming, it's likely that the paint on the stove surface is not yet fully hardened. Ensure there is sufficient ventilation to allow it to harden properly.
What does it mean when steel surfaces in my Heta Stove combustion chamber have oxidised?
Oxidation of steel surfaces in the combustion chamber of your Heta Stove indicates the temperature is too high. If there are clear cracks or weaknesses in the stove body, it must be replaced.
Why is there condensation in my Heta Stove combustion chamber?
Condensation in the combustion chamber of your Heta Stove can occur due to: * Moisture in the vermiculite: This will evaporate after the stove has been lit a few times. * Damp wood: Ensure you are using dry firewood.
When should I replace the vermiculite in my Heta Stove?
Normal wear and minor cracks in the vermiculite of your Heta Stove are not significant. Replace it when the steel of the combustion chamber is visible.
Are cracks in my Heta Stove vermiculite a problem?
Cracks in the vermiculite of your Heta Stove's combustion chamber are typically only cosmetic. Replacement is needed when the steel of the combustion chamber becomes visible.
