5.2.4. Painting. The heatproof paint that covers the inside and outside of the appliance withstands temperatures up to
600 °C and releases a subtle typical smell that disappears after the first few uses.
It is possible for the paint to jump out in some areas inside the housing after a period of use, due to corrosion caused
by liquids, inadequate fuel types or others not authorized by the manufacturer, etc., In that case it will be necessary to
repaint all damaged areas before a prolonged shutdown period. (Use exclusively "Rocal heatproof spray paint”.
Below is a table of possible anomalies, their causes and solutions:
PROBLEM
CAUSE
SOLUTION
1. Rejects smoke and /
or insufficient draught
Incorrect duct
Lack of air supply for combustion
Incorrect position of registers
Duct servicing*:
-connection
-diameter
-leaks
-insufficient length
-outdoor access
-possible elements blocking the exit
Check vents and / or outside air supply.
Simultaneous operation with other ventilation
devices and / or heating
Setting the register
2. Excessive dirt on
glass
Incorrect duct
Inappropriate fuel
Overly closed registers
Revise section on insufficient flue (below).
Use recommended fuel
Adjust registers
3. Glass bleaching or
colour fading of the
plate
Excessive temperature caused by
excessive heat in the combustion
chamber
Check the fuel load avoiding overheating
Adjust registers
4. Poor heating
Inappropriate fuel

Review of insulating materials such as
fiberglass, fireproof wood or any inflammable
elements and replace them.
Check for tightness and if you discover a
crack, please contact your dealer.
6. Excessive draft
Incorrect duct
Combustion control registers in the wrong
position
Duct servicing
- Excessive length
- Check Depression
- Incorrect diameter
- Check door gasket
7. Poor draft
Incorrect duct
Duct dirtiness
Open the primary and secondary register
