USER MANUAL
5.3 Flue duct
!Caution
Always be sure to comply with the applicable national and local building regulations related to flue ducts.
Sufficient chimney draught is a pre-condition for a good and safe operation of the fire. The flue duct must comply
with the applicable national and local building regulations.
When igniting the fire, the flue duct is still cold. This means that there will be little draught. In order to promote
draught, more combustion air is supplied at the beginning. This additional air can be achieved by further opening
the air supply (see section 5.2). It is also possible to slightly open the door. However, the latter only applies in case
of appliances that retrieve air from the room where they are installed. If there is sufficient draught and the fire is
burning well, the primary air supply and the door must be closed again.
In case of excess draught (> 30-40 Pascal), the flue gases are discharged too quickly, which means that there is too
little time to deliver heat. This will affect the efficiency. In order to solve such a problem, it will be better to contact
your supplier.
If possible, we recommend placing a flue valve to control the draught. These are available at your supplier.
By means of this valve, placed in the fire's pipe, you are able to control the draught. When filling the fire, the valve
must be placed in the open position in order to prevent smoke blowback.
!Caution
Do not burn during misty and/or windless weather. Flue gases could drop down which could cause (smoke)
nuisance.
5.4 Ash
When burning wood, ash is generated. After many hours of burning, a lot of ash has been created. The ash will
provide an insulating layer in your fire. As a result, the combustion temperature will increase and the combustion
process will improve. Moreover, an ash layer will protect the fire bottom. This means that you will have to leave the
ash layer where it is. Only when the ash layer reaches the top of the ash threshold, you can scoop half the ash (at
maximum) out of the fire.
!Tip
Make sure there is always at least 2 cm of ash on the fire bottom. This will improve the combustion and protect the
fire bottom.
Use the supplied ash scoop (see Appendix 2, Fig. 1).
!Caution
Always scoop the ash out of the fire using a sideways motion (from right to left).
Never throw the ash directly into the normal waste bin, but put in a steel bucket and place it on an incombustible
floor. Even after a few days, the ash can still be glowing.
Ash from pure (untreated) and clean wood is a natural product. You can use it as a soil improver. In all other cases,
dispose of the ash in the correct way.
!CAUTION
Never use a vacuum cleaner to remove the ash from the fire. The dust bag is highly combustible and the ash may
damage the motor.
6. Maintenance
Dik Geurts fires are made of steel plate. A lot of attention is given to a sound manufacture and careful finish, as a
result of which your fire requires little maintenance. The following maintenance tips/instructions contribute to a
proper operation of your fire and therefore your comfort of use.
!CAUTION
• perform maintenance after the fire has been out of operation for at least 24 hours;
• do not make any changes to the fire yourself;
• as a user you are only allowed to perform the maintenance stated in this chapter, for any other work you will
have to consult an installer who has experience in the field of wood fire heating;
• only replace parts by original parts. These are available via your supplier/installer.
!Tip
Slightly open the fire door when you are not burning. This will prevent condensation and possible corrosion.
