2. The chimney is too cool. Set the primary air control on
"HIGH" for a few minutes before opening the fuel door.
3. Excess creosote will not only restrict your draft but it will
create a risk of a creosote fire. Strictly adhere to mainte-
nance requirements as outlined in this manual. If excess
creosote has built up on the inside of the firebox sides
and door, burn a small hot fire at intervals that are more
frequent with air control on HIGH for a few minutes.

6. The house is too airtight (usually takes 20 to 30 minutes
for problem to appear as stove lowers air pressure in

source of air near stove.
