Weiman Products Deva 100 owner manual Burn Rate

BURN RATE

HIGH BURN: Fully load the firebox with wood on a bed of hot coals or on an actively flaming fire and fully open the primary air control. A high burn rate is recommended once or twice a day to fully heat the stovepipe and chimney, which will help minimize creosote accumulation.

MEDIUM BURN: Set the primary air control to a mid-range setting appropriate for the heating needs of the area being heated. A medium burn rate should be the typical setting and is preferable if the stove is to be left unattended.

LOW BURN: Close the primary air control for a low burn rate. A low burn rate over extended periods of time is not advisable as it may promote the accumulation of creosote. The venting system should be inspected frequently if low burn rates are maintained consistently.

OVER-FIRE CAUTION

Over-firing means the stove is operating at temperatures above the recommended temperatures outlined above in the BURN RATE section. Over-firing should be carefully avoided since it will cause damage to the stove. Symptoms of over-firing include short burn times, a roaring sound in the stove or stovepipe, and discoloration of the stovepipe.

Over-firing can be caused by excessive draft, inappropriate fuel, and operator error. Correct an over-fire situation as follows:

EXCESSIVE DRAFT: Contact your dealer to have a draft reading taken. Any draft in excess of 0.1 wc requires a damper in the stovepipe. Some installations may require more than one damper.

INAPPROPRIATE FUEL: Do not burn coal, kiln dried lumber, wax logs or anything other than natural cordwood.

OPERATOR ERROR: Make sure all the gaskets are in good condition. Replace worn out or compressed gaskets. Do not burn the stove with

the fuel loading door, or ash pan door in the open position.

Monitoring the temperature is the best way to determine that the stove is over-firing. If you suspect that your stove is over-firing, contact your dealer immediately. Damage done by over-firing is not covered by your warranty. Results of over-firing can include: warped or burned out internal parts, cracked refractory, discolored or warped external parts, and damaged enamel.

NOTE: ANY SYMPTOMS OF OVER-FIRING

WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY!!

REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL OF ASHES

Ashes should be removed when the stove is cold. Use protective fireplace gloves when the pan is warm. Exercise extreme caution when handling, storing or disposing of ashes.

To remove ashes from the firebox, sift the ashes across the ash grate using a poker or other suitable implement. Remove the ashes by pulling the handle on the ash pan and sliding it carefully out. Dump the ashes as described below. Re-insert the ash pan by pushing it in all the way. Be sure that the ash pan has been pushed firmly into place. Alternately, the ashes can be removed with a shovel through the fuel loading door.

Ashes should be dumped from the ash drawer into a metal container with a tight fitting lid. Do not place any other items or trash into the metal container. Replace the lid onto the container and allow the ashes to cool. Do not place the ash disposal container on a combustible surface or vinyl flooring, as the container will be hot!

Pending disposal, place the closed ash container on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials. Ashes should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
