GLASS SOOTS UP  VERY FAST 
FLAME IS LAZY, DARK, AND HAS BLACK TIPS 
AFTER STOVE HAS BEEN ON FOR A WHILE, THE BURNPOT OVERFILLS 
Possible Causes:
Possible Remedies:
 
1. 
Stove or vent pipe is clogged, which restricts airflow through the burn pot. 
 
 
Follow all cleaning procedure in the maintenance section of the owner’s 
manual. 
 
 
2. 
Vent pipe installed improperly. 
 
 
Check to make sure the vent pipe has been installed according to the 
instructions in the owner’s manual. 
 
 
3. 
The air damper is too far closed for a higher setting. 
 
 
Slide the air supply to a higher setting and try to burn the unit again. 
 
 
4. 
Burn pot holes are blocked. 
 
 
Remove the burn pot and clean it thoroughly. 
 
 
5. 
Blockage in air intake pipe. 
 
 
Visually inspect the air intake pipe that leads into the burn pot for foreign 
material. 
 
 
6. 
Combustion/exhaust blower is not spinning fast enough. 
 
 
Test the RPM on the blower (separately – bypassing the control board) after the 
blades have been cleaned.  The RPM should be approximately 3000 RPM. You 
will need a technician to perform this test. 
 
 
7. Bad 
pellets 
      (Applies to “GLASS SOOTS UP AT A VERY FAST RATE” Only) 
 
 
The brand or the batch of pellets used may be of poor quality.  If possible, try a 
different brand of pellets.  You might also want to try a brand that is made from 
a different type of wood (softwood vs. hardwood).  Different woods have 
different characteristics that affect the combustion. Your pellets may also be too 
humid.  Make sure you store your fuel properly, in a dry ventilated area.

Because it is a wood-burning device, your HYBRID-35 may emit a faint wood-burning odor. If this increases beyond normal, or if you notice an unusual 
soot build-up on walls or furniture, check your exhaust system carefully for leaks. All joints should be properly sealed. Also clean your stove, following 
instructions in “MAINTENANCE”. If problem persists, contact your dealer.
