Possible Causes

Fuel feed too high, Combustion air too low, Burner grate holes blocked, Incorrect fuel type for burner

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Empty ash only when the furnace is cold. Use metal containers for ash disposal.

  • Clean the burner grate thoroughly, ensuring all air holes are open.
  • Reduce the fuel feed rate slightly in the controller and/or increase combustion air within allowed limits.
  • Verify that the fuel type and size match Defro's specification for your burner.
  • Monitor the flame; it should be bright and stable, not dark and smoky.

Continued poor combustion may require professional tuning of the controller parameters.
