Burning Wood - Dovre 750 GH Mode D'emploi Et Installation

Brown coal briquettes
Brown coal briquettes burn in more or less the same way as wood does. You should
only burn briquettes on a bed of charcoal in your stove.
Charcoal
There are several categories of anthra-
cite coal. Some characteristics may be
legally determined. For instance anthra-
cite "A" has to contain less than 10% of
volatile substances, anthracite "B" less
than 12%. The ash content may range
from 3 to 13%.
For a good operation of your appliance,
the use of anthracite "A" with a low ash
content is recommended. A combustible
with a high ash content has a lower net
heating value. Moreover, the ashes have to be removed more frequently and the fire
will go out faster. The recommended calibre is 12/22 or 20/30.

Burning wood

In order to create sufficient draught and to prevent smoke from being emitted into
the room, the chimney should be warm enough before lighting a fire. A cold chim -
ney can be heated up by lighting a ball of paper above the fire plate or at the back of
the bunker.
To kindle the fire in the stove you can use paper and/or firelighters and small pieces
of wood.
Slightly open the door and turn the air slides wide open.
It is important that the kindled fire should burn intensely. You can then throw larger
pieces of wood onto the fire, and close the door. When the fire has eventually stabi-
lized and is glowing enough, you can put the logs or the brown coal briquettes on
the fire.
The best management of the hearth can be obtained by shutting off the primary air-
flow completely and by fully regulating the air intake with secondary airflow (=
above the door). If this management proves to be insufficient, or in order to fan the
fire, one can temporarily open the primary airflow for extra air intake.
Make sure that the furnace door is always shut adequately.
Never stoke with an open door.
Add fuel timely. Do not add too much fuel at once. It is best to fill the hearth to
maximally one third and to add regularly.
Always open the filling door slowly and always open it for the shortest time possible.
Before adding, make sure that the charcoal base is distributed equally over the stok-
ing surface. If needed, open the primary air valve for a little while.
If the wood is piled up loosely, it will burn very quickly because the oxygen will
reach every piece of wood easily. This piling is used when one wants to stoke in a
short time. When the wood is piled more compactly, it will burn slower as the air can
only reach particular pieces of wood. It is best to use this piling method if one wants
to stoke for a longer period of time
