What to do if my Temp-Cast 2000 Indoor Fireplace lights okay but goes out quickly?
If your Temp-Cast Indoor Fireplace lights but goes out before the kindling catches, or if there's excess smoke, the issue could be due to several reasons. Ensure you're using dry kindling, such as cedar shavings or twisted newspaper. Also, verify that the chimney damper is open, there are no obstructions in the chimney, and the fresh air intake is open.
Why is my Temp-Cast Indoor Fireplace not producing enough heat?
If your Temp-Cast Indoor Fireplace burns well but doesn't produce enough heat, the wood might not be fully dried (it should be 20% or less). You may also need to burn more wood. Another cause might be that the fireplace was incorrectly installed, so it is important to review the Planning Guide & Installation Manual regarding correct facade materials & installation.
How to fix a downdraft in my Temp-Cast 2000 Indoor Fireplace?
If the match blows out when testing the draft of your Temp-Cast Indoor Fireplace, indicating a downdraft, it could be due to a cold exterior chimney, negative house pressure, or windy conditions. To resolve this, you can pre-heat the chimney. Also, turn off all exhaust fans and other fireplaces to reduce negative house pressure. In windy conditions, close windows and doors on upper floors.
What to do if smoke spills when I open the Temp-Cast 2000 Indoor Fireplace door?
If your Temp-Cast Indoor Fireplace burns well, but smoke spills out when you open the door, the chimney, base manifold, or heat exchange channels might be partially obstructed. Inspect the chimney for too many offsets or obstructions. Another cause could be negative pressure, especially in airtight construction. Try opening a window near the fireplace before opening the door.
