Extinguishing The Fire; Removing Ash; Fog And Mist; Solving Problems - Dovre 2020 Installation Et Mode D'emploi

Tar and creosote are highly combustible sub-
stances. Thicker layers of these substances
may catch fire if the temperature in the chim-
ney increases suddenly. By allowing the fire to
burn very intensely regularly, layers of tar and
creosote will disappear.
Low intensity fires also cause tar deposits on
the stove window and door.
When the outside temperature is not very low,
it is better to burn wood intensely for a few
hours instead of having a low intensity fire for a
long period of time.
Control the air supply with the secondary air inlet.
The secondary air inlet not only supplies air to
the fire but to the glass as well, so that it does
not quickly become dirty.
Open the primary air inlet for the time being if the air
supply by the secondary air inlet is inadequate or if
you want to fan the fire.
It is better to add a small amount of logs regularly
than to add many logs at the same time.
Regularly adding small amounts of brown coal bri-
quettes or anthracite coal is better than adding a
large amount of brown coal briquettes or anthracite
coal in one go.

Extinguishing the fire

Do not add fuel and just let the fire go out. If a fire is
damped down by reducing the air supply, harmful sub-
stances will be released. For this reason, the fire
should be allowed to go out naturally. Keep an eye on
the fire until it has gone out. All air inlets can be closed
once the fire has died completely.

Removing ash

After wood has burnt, a relatively small amount of ash
is left over. This ash bed is a good insulating layer for
the stove base plate and improves combustion. It is
good idea to leave a thin layer of ash on the stove
base plate.
After brown coal briquettes and anthracite coal have
burnt, a relatively large amount of ash is left over.
Remove the excess ash regularly.
20
The ash should never reach the bottom of the
grate. This will cause the grate to overheat and
be damaged.
The flow of air through the fire plate must not be
obstructed, and ash must not be allowed to accu-
mulate behind an inner plate. Remove the excess ash
regularly.
1. Open the door of the appliance.
2. Use the riddling rod to make the ash drop through
the grate into the ash pan.
3. Using the cold handle glove supplied, remove the
ash pan and empty it; see the next two figures.
4. Replace the ash pan and close the door of the
appliance.

Fog and mist

Fog and mist hinder the flow of flue gases through the
flue. Smoke can blow back and cause a stench. If it is
not strictly necessary, it is better not to use the stove
in foggy and misty weather.

Solving problems

Refer to the appendix "Diagnostic diagram" to resolve
any problems in using the stove.
