Burning Wood; Extinguishing The Fire - Dovre 40CBS Installation Et Mode D'emploi

Burning wood

After you have followed the instructions for lighting:
1. Slowly open the door of the appliance.
2. Spread the charcoal evenly across the bottom of
the stove base.
3. Stack a few logs on the charcoal.
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
Subject to change because of technical improvements
If the logs are stacked tightly, the wood will burn more
slowly as the oxygen can only reach some logs eas-
ily. 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.
Stoke the appliance regularly and thoroughly.
If you frequently burn at a low setting, 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 burning the fire at a high intensity on
a regular basis, any layers of tar and creosote
will disappear.
Burning at a low intensity can also cause tar to
be deposited on the appliance 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 in the door.
The air supply via the air slider not only sup-
plies 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.
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.
