User manual DEVILLE C07784 04-08

[. . . ] Rated heat output capacity in continuous use : · Obtained with a draft of 12 Pa, and a wood load of 12, 45 kg. Refill every 3 hours on a 0, 5 kg layers (3cm thick) of embers with the thermostat on maximum speed. The announced power is the average power obtained with each 3 hours load. Slow combustion, burning period superior to 10h in continuous use : · Obtained on a 6 Pa draft with a 12, 45 kg-load composed of a non-split log of strong wood, preferably with large diameters (superior to 16 cm). [. . . ] In this case, maximum heat output can be maintained for 3 hours and with a slow combustion rate, and a low heat output, the burning period can extend to 10 hours with a 12, 5 kg load. 2 Fire duct - The burning required is obtained by using the control devices (see § 4. Use this position only temporarily, to heat the rooms following prolonged absence. For intermediate heating, use a smaller load : one or two logs (thermostat in position 4 for C07783 and position III for C07753, C07784). For a long-lasting heat output with a slow combustion rate, use 1 or 2 non-split logs with a diameter superior to 16 cm (thermostat in position 0 for C07783 and position I for C07753, C07784). - To get a long-lasting combustion rate, reload on a merely burning bed of embers. - For rapid restarting of the fire, add some kindling wood, load the logs, and only if necessary keep the door partly open for several minutes, without leaving the appliance unattended. This method gets the fire going quickly again, especially if the wood is slightly damp. - Change the burning rate (switching from a slow combustion rate to a normal rate for example) before reloading, during the combustion stage of the embers, to enable the appliance and smoke duct to change progressively from one burning rate to another. - To prevent smoke from driving back and the ash from entering the room, at the time of loading, opening the door requires a number of precautions: . open the door partly , waits for the open door suction to start , and open the door slowly. - Using the stove in continuous mode and a slow combustion rate, especially in milder temperature conditions (bad draught) and with wet timber, leads to an incomplete combustion and the formation of tar and soot deposits : o o Alternate the slow burning periods with returns to normal burning. - After the stove has been used in slow combustion mode, the front glass may darken because of a slight soot deposit, this deposit will burn off (by pyrolysis) with the next hot fire (higher combustion rate). The fitting of a suction moderating flap in the connecting duct enables to control the burning, notably slow burning, enabling long lasting heating (see installation manual). 3 De-ashing The air used for wood combustion arrives on the grating when the thermostat is open. Therefore, it is vital, to ensure optimum performance and prevent the degradation of the grating due to overheating, to prevent any obstruction by performing regularly de-ashing operations and evacuating the ash : Turn both locks with the poker . Close the ash box door in order to prevent the appliance from overheating which would result in destruction. - The level of ash must never reach the stove's cast iron grating : de-ash every 2 to 3 days. - Remove periodically any ash which spilled accidentally in the ash box compartment. - The front glass as well as other parts of the stove are very hot : beware the risk of burns. - The stove produces a large quantity of heat by means of radiation through the window : do not place any materials or objects which are sensitive to heat within 1. - Empty the ash pan into a special metal or otherwise inflammable receptacle used only for this purpose. [. . . ] It is up to the Buyer to prove the reality of the noticed defects and irregularities. The Buyer must let Deville every opportunity of noticing any of those defects and irregularities in order to salve then. The Buyer must also keep the non standard supplies at the disposal of Deville, according to the instructions of the latter. For any problem on a product, please fax all the elements (invoice + information) and ask a previous agreement to DEVILLE. [. . . ]
