4.8. VIEW OF THE FLAMES
In order to get proper operation from the stove, you need to be able to
interpret the appearance of the flame. Characteristics which the user
should take into consideration are basically the following:
The shape
The colour
The character
4.8.1. The shape
In normal combustion the flame should have a tapered shape, a
lively character, with the tips of the flames basically vertical or pushed
towards the back of the firebox. You should get the impression that the
flame is being drawn upwards.
Conversely, a flame which swells outwards at the base, with a thin
character, with a point that appears to wander, could be a symptom of
bad setting as regards loading of the fuel and/or extraction of the
fumes, or could indicate that the flue is obstructed or that there are
down-draughts which impede the proper evacuation of the smoke.
In this case there will ALWAYS be operating problems. Request
assistance from specialized personnel or advice from technicians.
