• Smoke entering the room from the rebox when the door is open may be caused by
• Insucient length of ue (Flue to be 4500mm minimum underneath the base of heater to
underside of cowl)
Increase height of ue
• Flue downdraught
Consult dealer or increase height of ue.
• Creosote buildup in ue
Remove cowl and clean ue as per cleaning instructions. Check moisture content of wood.
• Excessive ash build up
some woods will give large amounts of ash despite how you run the h
eater. Others will give you very little.
Use the wood which is most convenient for you as long as it is dry. After a period of time you will get to
know when to empty your unit. Bark will give you excessive ash. Try not to burn it.
If you are burning wood that gives you charcoal, you may nd that after running the heater say for 8 hours
at maximum burn rate, the charcoal builds up excessively. Overnight burn will reduce this charcoal back to
a ne ash. If you are not ready to shut down for overnight burn when you next fuel the stove, load the
stove with only one piece of wood and lay it across the rebox on top of the charcoal. Open the air control
wide open and you will nd the charcoal will burn down with the one piece of wood. Repeat the process
until the ash level is signicantly reduced.

Troubleshooting
• Noisy Fan
Turn the power o and remove the three pin plug from the power point.
Remove the four screws that hold the front fan access panel. Remove the panel.
Disconnect the wiring loom via the plastic joiner. Unscrew the nut which holds the fan in position and remove the fan.
Clean any dust with a dry paint brush and vacuum the fan blades. Clean around the motor. After completion place two
or three drops of sewing machine oil on the shafts at the bearings. Replace the fan in reverse to the removal.
• Fan not working
Check the power connection with another appliance. If the power point is O.K. assume the Fan or the Switch is
defective. Isolate the power as above. Check that the terminals on the loom and the switch are rmly connected. If the
fan then fails to function, remove the fan and switch by rstly removing the knob o the fan switch by pulling it away
from the heater. Undo the holding nut and pull the switch out. Disconnect the wiring from the power lead and remove
the
fan and switch. Convey the same to the authorised Eureka Dealer from whom you purchased your unit for service.
Replace in the reverse order.
• Air Control Jamming
Lift up and remove top plate.
Remove air control knob by turning anti-clockwise. Lift air control panel out of the way.
There are three bolts holding the air slide in place. Undo them and remove the air slide. Wipe any ash or dust that may
have accumulated on the back of the air slide or on the face of the heater. If any burrs have developed on the back of the
air slide or on the face of the heater, rub them o with ne wet and dry sand paper till you have a smooth surface and
edges. Replace the air slide and make sure the washers and spacers are on the bolts when you screw the bolts back into
the face of the hea
ter. Do not apply any type of lubricant to the air slide whatsoever as this will attract dust and make the
slide stick.
• No Overnight Burn
Remove the air slide as per air control jamming and check that the air slide is hard against the face of the heater. If it is
loose, tighten up the bolts holding the air slide to the face of the heater. Do not overtighten.
Check that the door rope has an even indentation from the sealing strip, which is on the face of the rebox. If it is uneven
and it appears as though air could leak through the seal, adjust the thickness of the door rope to suit. Stretch the rope to
make it thinner where the indentation is the heaviest and bunch up the excess where the indentation is smaller.
Check the four bolts that hold the glass retainer in position. If loose tighten. Do not overtighten.
The door may become loose through the door seal shrinking. To tighten the door, open the door and look at the inside of
the
door shaft. Unscrew Allen key screw in door handle shaft. Rotate door handle shaft anti-clockwise when facing heater
(1 turn = 1 millimetre). Close door and lock. Open door and check door for even indentation from sealing strip. Repeat
process if required. Replace Allen key screw (check to ensure that roll pin is central in shaft.)
When closing the door you should now feel rm resistance when the latch comes into contact with the catch.
