Extinguishing The Fire; Removing Ash; Fog And Mist; Resolving Problems - Dovre Sense 100 Instrucciones De Instalacion Y Uso

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.
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.
Control the air supply using the air vent.
The 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.

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 a good idea to leave a thin layer of ash on the stove
base plate.
The flow of air through the fire plate must not be
obstructed, however, and no ash may be allowed to
Subject to change because of technical improvements
accumulate behind a cast-iron inner plate. Remove
the excess ash regularly.
1. Open the door of the appliance.
2. Use the scraper supplied to sweep the excess ash
into the ash pan.
3. Using the glove supplied, remove the ash pan and
empty it.
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.

Resolving problems

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