Main air flow control slider will not close 

the door glass is becoming black 

could this be the reason?

just fitted

I don't think so . The glass is more likely to go black with less air rather than more . The usual cause of blackening glass is burning wood that is not properly seasoned . The flame is trying to drive the moisture out of the wood so a non complete combustion is occurring . Don't burn green or wet wood .

I think this stove has two air controls:

1. primary air control.  This lets in lots of air through the front.  Use this is to get the stove lit and not for extended burning.

2. Airwash.  This lets in less air in a strip across the door.  This flows downwards and keeps the glass door clean and then cycles through the fire.

 

If the primary control wont close, yes this will disrupt the airwash and the door will get dirty. But also thats not safe as the stove could overheat.

 

query with the installer.
