To Next PageTo Next PageWhy does smoke enter the room when reloading my Lopi Wood stove?
If smoke enters the room while reloading your Lopi Wood stove, first open the bypass and air control before opening the door. Also, be aware that insufficient draft, which can be affected by chimney height and outside conditions, may cause smoke to enter the home. Adding more piping or a draft-inducing cap may help.
How to stop smoke from entering the room during Lopi Wood stove start-up?
If smoke enters the room during the start-up of your Lopi Wood stove, start by opening the bypass and air control. A cold air blockage may also be the cause, in which case burning a piece of newspaper can help establish a draft. If the flame isn't getting enough air, even a small crack in the door might be all that's needed.
What to do if the blower on my Lopi Cape Cod does not run?
If your Lopi Wood stove blower isn't running, it might be because the stove hasn't reached the required temperature yet, which is normal and usually takes 15 to 30 minutes. Another reason could be that the electricity supply to the blower is cut off; check the household breaker or fuse to ensure it's working.
What to do if kindling does not start in my Lopi Cape Cod?
If kindling does not start and the fire smolders in your Lopi Wood stove, begin by opening the bypass and air control. If you're not using enough starter paper, add more newspaper as needed. Also, ensure the flame is getting enough air; sometimes a small crack in the door is sufficient.
Why is my Lopi Wood stove not burning hot enough?
If your Lopi Wood stove isn't burning hot enough, first ensure that your wood is not wet; consult the "Selecting Wood" section for details. Also, make sure the air control is fully open and not stuck. Insufficient draft, potentially caused by chimney height and outside conditions, can also lead to a slow-burning fire; adding more piping or a draft-inducing cap may help.
