Solution: Black soot forming on the glass door means
that the combustion is not right and the heater needs a
good clean out. Some brands of pellets burn much
richer than others and you might have to change brands
of pellets and/or have the air/fuel settings re-adjusted by
your dealer. It is normal to have the glass cloud up after
several hours of burning but it should wipe off with a
go od win do w c leane r. If the glass turns black quick ly,
