Recommended single fuel loads:
*
Optimum log size: dia 30 cm, length 25 cm
Make sure not to exceed recommended fuel loads.
Excessive fuel loads may cause
overheating and damages, which are excluded from the Warranty.
Prior to reloading, make sure to riddle the riddling grate to let sufficient air into the firebox which
is essential for good combustion.
First firing
Start the fire with a small amount of crumpled newspaper and well seasoned dry kindling to
achieve a moderate, evenly burning fire.
Read the instructions concerning the air supply controls on your stove.
Some parts of the stove are painted with a heat resistant paint. With the first firing, this paint
gradually sets and some fumes of a characteristic odour may be given off in the process.
Therefore ventilate the room during this phase.
Firing and regular operation
Crumple a small amount of newspaper and place it in the fire box. Over the paper place dry
kindling wood and then 2-3 small logs. Make sure that primary and secondary air supply
controls are fully open and let the fire blaze-up.
When firing the stoves DORA 8 and DORA 10, it is recommendable to leave the firebox door ajar
for 2-4 min, to avoid steaming / staining of the glass.
The stoves NERA 8 and NERA 10 may also be fired by placing in the firebox 5-6 logs first,
followed by newspaper, kindling wood and 2-3 pieces of small logs on the top.
Never leave the stove unattended until a bright active fire has developed. During the normal
operation, the firebox and the ash tray doors must be closed.
If you have a damper installed in your fluepipe, it should be kept fully open at the beginning.
The desired output is set by means of the primary and secondary air flow controls, depending on
the fuel used, as described below.
The stoves DORA 8 and DORA 10 are structurally designed in the manner that the glass on the
firebox door is always kept clean. The glass may become stained with soot only in case of poor
combustion, which might be due to the following causes: chimney of inadequate design or in
poor maintenance condition, insufficient air supply (air supply control closed) or inadequate
fuel.
Keep in mind that certain parts of the stove are hot and the stove shall be operated only by
adults.
Output control
Heating output is adjusted by means of the air supply controls at the front panel of the stove.
Primary air control (on the lower small door) is used to set up the output when the stove is fired
with brown coal briquettes.
Secondary air control (on the upper small door of NERA stoves and
on the glazed door of DORA stoves) is used to set up the output when the stove is fired with
wood or wood briquettes.
THEREFORE, USE PROTECTIVE GLOVE!
