Controlling Air Combustion; Extinguishing The Fire; Removing Ash - Dovre 2020 Installation Et Mode D'emploi

1. Open the primary air slide completely.
2. Slowly open the door of the appliance.
3. Spread the charcoal evenly across the bottom of
the stove base.
4. Spread a shovelful of coal on the charcoal bed and
wait with the next shovelful until the coals start to
glow.
5. Now add more coal.
Be careful not to smother the fire by adding too
much coal at once.
You have added as much as you can when the
glow from the previous load is only just visible.
6. Close the door.
7. Allow the coal to burn for 20-30 minutes and reg-
ulate the air supply using the primary slide.
8. Use the riddling rod to shake the grate until glow-
ing embers drop into the ashpan.
9. Open the primary air slide completely.
10. Add fresh coal up to the maximum level.
Make sure the grate is open by pulling the rid-
dling rod forward.
11. After a few minutes, move the primary air slide to
the desired position.
If the coal basket or the grate begins to glow
red, you are burning the fire too hard. This can
lead to warping of the grate and/or coal basket.

Controlling air combustion

The appliance has various provisions for air control.
The primary air slide regulates the air under the grid.
The secondary air slide regulates the air for the glass
(air wash).
Advice
Never burn wood with an open door.
Regularly burn wood with intense roaring fires.
If you burn at a low setting frequently, tar and
creosote may be deposited in the flue. Tar and
creosote are highly combustible substances.
Subject to change because of technical improvements
Thicker layers of these substances may catch
fire if the temperature in the flue increases sud-
denly. By allowing the fire to burn very
intensely regularly, layers of tar and creosote
will disappear.
Low intensity fires can also cause tar deposits
on the stove window and door.
When the outside temperature is mild, it is bet-
ter to burn wood intensely for a few hours
instead of having a low intensity fire for a long
period of time.
Regulate the air supply using 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.
Topping up with a few logs regularly is better than
adding many logs in one go.
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 been burnt, a relatively small amount
of ash remains. 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.
The ash should never reach the bottom of the
grate. This will cause the grate to overheat and
