Ash Removal; Extinguishing The Fire; Weather Conditions - Dovre 500GH Einbauanleitung Und Betriebsanleitung

Always open the filling door slowly and for a short space of time. Before filling up,
the charcoal bed should be carefully spread open. Check whether the coals are glow-
ing enough just behind the log retainer, so that the added fuel will immediately
catch fire. If necessary you can open the lower air slide for a while.
Open stacking will make the logs burn
very intensely, as the oxygen can easily
reach every part of the fire. This method
of stacking is applied when burning
wood for a short while. Compact stack-
ing will make the fire burn slower, as
the air can only reach the outer parts of
the fire. This stacking method is best
used whe n burning for a longer while.
Low intensity fires cause tar and creosote to deposit in the chimney after a long pe-
riod of time. Tar and creosote are highly combustible substances. Thicker layers of
these substances might catch fire when the t e mperature in the chimney increases
suddenly and steeply. Therefore it is necessary for the fire to regularly burn very
intensely, so that thin layers of tar and creosote immediately disappear.
Low intensity fires also cause tar to deposit on the stove panes and doors.
When it is not too cold outside it is better to let the stove burn intensely for just a
few hours a day.

Ash removal

The bottom part of the fire compartment is equipped with an
ash removal grille. To remove the ashes, open or remove the
grille, and sweep the ashes into the ashtray with the small
shovel. Use the "cold handle" to remove the ashtray out of the
stove (see illustration).
Relatively speaking, burning wood produces little ash and it
will not be necessary to remove it each time daily. Moreover,
wood burns better on a bed of ash.

Extinguishing the fire

Stop fuelling the fire and let it burn out.
Damping a fire by closing the air slides involves the release of noxious gases. You
should let the fire burn out and keep an eye on it as long as it is still glowing.

Weather conditions

Attention!
Mist and heavy fog will block the chimney's smoke outlet and may lead to smoke
emissions into the living room.
It is best not to use the stove under these weather conditions.
