De-Ashing; Safety Instructions; Recommendations Related With Duct Cleaning, Stove And Smoke Duct Maintenance - deville C07708 Notice D'emploi

- To prevent smoke from driving back and the ash from entering the room, at the time of loading,
opening the door requires a number of precautions:
. Open the door partly, waits for the open door suction to start, and open the door slowly.
- Using the stove in continuous mode and a slow combustion rate, especially in milder temperature
conditions (bad draught) and with wet timber, leads to an incomplete combustion and the formation
of tar and soot deposits :

- After the stove has been used in slow combustion mode, the front glass may darken because of a
slight soot deposit, this deposit will burn off (by pyrolysis) with the next hot fire (higher combustion
rate).
The fitting of a suction moderating flap in the connecting duct enables to control the burning, notably slow

4.4.2.3 De-ashing

The air used for burning the wood comes in under the grate when the damper is open. This air also
ensures the cooling of the grating. Therefore, it is vital, to ensure optimum performance and prevent
the degradation of the grating due to overheating, to prevent any obstruction by performing regularly
de-ashing operations and evacuating the ash :
- Use the scraper (1) to de-ash the grating (Fig. 4).
- The ash pan, located under the grille, can be easily removed using the poker (Fig. 5).
- The level of ash must never reach the stove's cast iron grating : de-ash every 2 to 3 days.
- Remove periodically any ash which spilled accidentally in the ash box compartment.

4.4.3 Safety instructions

- Never throw water on the fire to put it out.
- The front glass as well as other parts of the stove are very hot : beware the risk of burns.
- The stove produces a large quantity of heat by means of radiation through the window : do not place
any materials or objects which are sensitive to heat within 1.5m of the windowed zone.
- It is imperative to maintain the loading closed at all times.
- Do not place any easily flammable materials near the appliance.
- Empty the ash pan into a special metal or otherwise inflammable receptacle used only for this
purpose. Ashes that might appear cold can still be very hot, even if you think they have had enough
time to get cold.
- It is especially important not to store wood under the appliance.
- If there is a fire in the chimney, shut the air ventilation pull handle (Fig. 3).
5 - RECOMMANDATIONS RELATED WITH DUCT CLEANING, STOVE AND SMOKE DUCT
MAINTENANCE
The mechanical cleaning of the smoke duct is compulsory, and must be performed several times per year, at
least during the heating season. A certificate should be handed in by a qualified professional.
Alternate the slow burning periods with returns to normal burning.
Burning small loads is recommended
burning, enabling long lasting heating (see installation manual).
