Keeping the ember alive overnight
Place 2 to 4 pieces of brown coal briquettes on the ember bed. Wait until the fuel blazes-up. Then set
both air controls to the minimum.
Special attention should be paid to the following:
Stove operation in transitional periods
During the transitional periods, i.e. the periods immediately preceding or following the heating
o
season (when external temperature exceeds 15 C), problems may be encountered due to the lack of
underpressure (poor or no draught). Try to create necessary underpressure by warming up the
chimney to achieve the necessary underpressure level. If this does not work, do not proceed with the
firing.
Ash tray
The ash tray should be regularly emptied. Make sure that there is no contact between the ash and the
firebox grate, because it may damage the grate.
Firing
Never use spirit, petrol or any other flammable liquid to light the fire. Never keep flammable liquids or
objects near the stove.
Care and cleaning
Clean the stove and flues from soot deposits at the end of each heating season.
All external surfaces of the stove are enamelled and thus protected from corrosion and elevated
temperatures. Clean the enamelled surfaces with soft wet cloth.
The glass on the firebox door of DORA stove, when cold, may be cleaned with an ordinary window
glass cleaner. The glass stained with sooth at the initial firing stage should be cleaned with a dry cloth
before it gets too hot.
Should any problems occur during the stove operation, contact your chimney sweeper or the
closest Service.
Space heating capacities
The size of the heated space depends on the heating conditions and thermal insulation.
Periodical heating or heating at intervals of more than 8 hours are to be considered less favourable or
even unfavourable heating conditions.
