[. . . ] Refill every 3 hours on an ash bed of about 0, 3 kg (that is to say 3 cm thick) with the air adjustment in position 3 (Fig. 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 9 kg-load composed of a non-split log of strong wood, preferably with large diameters (superior to 16 cm). Refill on an ash bed of about 0, 3 kg (that is to say 3 cm thick) with the air adjustment in position 1 (Fig. [. . . ] For intermediate heating, use a smaller load : one or two logs (index in position 2) (Fig. For a long-lasting heat output with a slow combustion rate, use 1 or 2 non-split logs with a diameter superior to 15 cm (index in position 1) (Fig. - 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 burning the wood comes in under the grate when the damper 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 : - Use the scraper (1) to de-ash the grating (Fig. - The ash pan, located under the grille, can be easily removed using the poker (Fig. - 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. Ashes that might appear cold can still be very hot, even if you think they have had enough time to get cold. 5 - RECOMMANDATIONS RELATED WITH DUCT CLEANING, STOVE AND SMOKE DUCT MAINTENANCE The mechanical cleaning of the smoke duct is compulsory, and must be performed several times per year, at least during the heating season. At the time of duct cleaning, the following operations must be carried out : - Dismount the deflector (Fig. [. . . ] on enamelled equipments , appliances , crackles are never considered as a manufacturing defect. They are due to the difference of expansion of iron enamel or cast-iron enamel and don't alter the adherence. Paid replacement parts are warranted for a six-month period from the invoicing date, any additional warranty agreed by a retailer from Deville doesn't commit Deville. Whenever claiming under a warranty, the guarantee with the stamp from the retailer Deville is strictly required. [. . . ]
