Sense Smoke Control Kit Instructions

Advice
Never burn wood with an open door.
If you frequently have low intensity fires, tar and cre-
osote may be deposited in the chimney. Tar and cre-
osote are highly combustible substances. Thicker
layers of these substances might catch fire when the
temperature in the chimney increases suddenly and
steeply. Therefore it is necessary for the fire to regu-
larly burn at a high output for short periods, so that
layers of tar and creosote disappear.
Low intensity fires also cause tar deposits on the
stove window and door.
When the outside temperature is not very low, it is
better to burn wood intensely for a few hours
instead of having a low intensity fire for a long peri-
od of time.
Control the heat output with the air control.
The secondary air inlet not only supplies air to the
fire but to the glass as well, so that it does not get
dirty so quickly.
Open the air control for a time if the air supply is
inadequate or if you want to boost the fire.
Do not use the appliance continuously with
the air controls fully open.
It is better to add a small amount of logs regularly
than to add many logs at the same time.
Extinguishing the fire
Do not add fuel and just let the fire go out. If a fire
is damped down by reducing the supply of air,
harmful substances will be produced and released.
Therefore, let the fire go out naturally. Keep an eye
on the fire until it is gone out. If the fire has died
completely, all air inlets can be closed.
5 When in use, burning the appliance at high output
for a short period also reduces tars and creosote.
6 When running the appliance:
Refuel little and often for clean, efficient burning.
7 Wood burns best on a bed of ash.
A bright and clean firebox indicates the
appliance is burning well.
Controlling the air
The appliance has various features for the air
control (see figure).
The appliance has one air control slide that regu-
lates both the primary air and the secondary air
inlet. If the air control is completely pulled out, the
primary and the secondary air inlet are open. As the
air control is pushed in, the primary air inlet and then
the secondary air inlet are closed. If the air control is
completely closed, a small air vent remains open to
allow for the post-combustion under the baffle plate.
The primary air inlet regulates the air under the
grate (1).
The secondary air inlet regulates the air for the
glass (air wash) (2).
The back wall has permanent vents (3) below the
baffle plate that allow for post-combustion.
