Getting Started/User Instructions 3. Recommended Fuels NOTE: This appliance has been independently tested to PD6434 and is exempt from the controls that generally apply in smoke control areas hence is considered suitable for use in Smoke Control Area when burning wood and ONLY when fitted with the relevant Smoke Control kit. To meet the Smoke Control requirement this appliance must be operated correctly in order to minimise the amount of smoke produced. 3.1 3.3 Description Dovre 250 3.
User Instructions 4.4 Leave the door slightly open as the fire establishes and the glass warms to avoid build up of condensation. 4.5 Add larger pieces of wood. Do not use full sized logs at this stage, build up gradually in size. Too many logs may smother the fire. Do not load fuel above the log guard and the lower edge of baffle at the back of the firebox, see Diagram 7. 5.3 When in use, burning the appliance at a high temperature for a short period reduces tars and creosotes.
User Instructions 6.7 Wood burns best on a bed of ash (approx 1” deep). 7.5 When in use, burning the appliance at a high temperature for a short period reduces tars and creosotes. WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THE APPLIANCE WITH THE PRIMARY AIR CONTROL OPEN FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME AS THIS COULD CAUSE OVERFIRING AND MAY CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE. 7.6 ONLY USE APPROVED SMOKELESS FUELS IN A SMOKE CONTROL AREA. 7.
User Instructions/ Care & Maintenance 10. Extended Burning 10.1 It is possible to get the appliance to burn for extended periods of time. In order to do this: — Open the door, see Diagram 12. 12 — De-ash prior to final refuelling. — Burn new fuel at a high temperature for a few minutes before adjusting the Primary Air Control. — Set air controls to low combustion settings. This will gradually blacken the glass but it will clear when operated at a high temperature for a short period.
Care & Maintenance 13. Chimney Fire 13.1 If a chimney fire occurs: — Shut all air controls immediately. — Evacuate the building. — Call the fire brigade. — Do not re-enter the building until it is confirmed safe. 13.2 15. Cleaning Glass 15.1 Keep the glass clean with correct use of the Airwash system and good quality fuel. 15.2 Sometimes additional cleaning may be required. Before undertaking this operation allow appliance to cool fully. Do not clean hot glass. 15.
Care & Maintenance 16. Chimney Sweeping 16.1 To maintain safe and efficient use of the appliance, the chimney/flue must be inspected and swept at least once a year by a qualified chimney sweep*. If the appliance is used continuously throughout the year, or it is used to burn wood, more frequent sweeping is recommended. The best time to have the chimney swept is at the start of the heating season. 16.
