Extinguishing The Fire; Removing Ashes - Dovre Houtkachel 40CB Instrucciones De Instalacion Y Uso

Open stacking
If the logs are stacked openly, the wood will burn
quickly as the oxygen can reach each log easily. If
you want to use the stove for a short while, make an
open stack.
Compact stacking
If the logs are stacked tightly, the wood will burn more
slowly as the oxygen can only reach some logs
easily. If you want to burn wood for a longer period,
make a compact stack.
4. Close the door of the appliance.
5. Control the fire with the air slider in the door.
Fill the appliance half-way at most.

Advice
Never burn wood with an open door.
Regularly burn wood with intense roaring fires.
If you frequently have low intensity fires, tar
and creosote may be deposited in the chimney.
Tar and creosote are highly combustible
substances. Thicker layers of these
substances might catch fire when the
temperature in the chimney increases
suddenly and steeply. Therefore it is
necessary for the fire to regularly burn very
intensely, so that layers of tar and creosote
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 air slider in the door.
The air supply via the air slider not only
supplies air to the fire but to the glass as well,
so that it does not get dirty so quickly.
Always open the door carefully.
Close the door immediately after adding fuel.
It is better to add a small amount of logs regularly
than to add many logs at the same time.

Extinguishing the fire

Do not add fuel and just let the fire go out. If a fire is
damped down by reducing the supply of air, harmful
substances will be produced and released. Therefore,
let the fire go out naturally. Keep an eye on the fire
until it has gone out. When the fire has died
completely, all air inlets can be closed.

Removing ashes

After the wood has been burnt, a relatively small
amount of ashes is left over. This bed of ashes is a
good insulating layer for the bottom of the fire
compartment and improves combustion. Therefore,
you can leave a thin layer of ashes on the bottom of
the fire compartment.
