Operating Instructions for The Dean Forge Dartmoor Baker 8 Stove
DBM8 issue 1. July 2015
All stoves meet the essential type test requirement BS EN13240:2001 +
A 2:2004
Safety Note
Warning- The external parts of the appliance will get very hot to the touch and due care will be needed
when operating.
All stoves before being operated must be checked that the installation complies with all local, national
and European standards.
Before the stove is first used or when fitting other appliances into the room, please check that adequate
air vents are in place to cover the requirements of such appliances.
Extractor fans. When operating an extractor fan in the same room or space as the appliance the
extractor fan could cause the stove not to function properly and pull dangerous fumes into the room.
This must be checked by a trained qualified engineer before using the stove.
Wood & Suitable fuels
Dry wood, 18% moisture content or below must be used or the stove and flue will tar up and the
door won’t stay clean.
Wood is best seasoned by splitting it into a log and drying it out for 2 years in a covered area so the air
can pass through to dry it out. Peat can also be used but must be dry.
When used as a Multi Fuel use only smokeless fuels recommended for enclosed appliances.
Please Note: Appliances should not be used as general incinerators or with non-recommended fuels.
At no time should liquid accelerants I.e.: Paraffin, Petrol, BBQ lighting liquid Etc be used.
Door Operation & controls
The door handle can become very hot so use the glove provided. A tool is provided to control the spin
wheel and air wash lever.

Controlling the stove
Primary air controls –A spin wheel on the door
The primary air control is a spin wheel on the door
This control is used for lighting the fire or boosting the fire
This is the main control when burning Solid Fuel.
Secondary air- B control leaver is situated on the right hand side near the top of the stove.
This lever controls the air wash and is used as the main air control, when burning wood, once the fire
is established
Control lever B works as follows:-
For maximum air flow into the stove push the lever down to open and up to close.
The stove is at its maximum efficiency when the lever is approximately two thirds the way down.
Dampers Left Open
Operation with the air controls or appliance dampers open can cause excess smoke. The appliance
must not be operated with the air controls, appliance dampers or door left open except as directed in
the instructions.
Lighting the Stove with Wood
Lay a fire of sticks and paper. Firelighters can be used if necessary. Check the secondary air lever is
fully open and the primary air spin wheel is partially open. Light the fire and as the fire catches the
paper you may then fully open the primary air.
When the fire has fully established and the logs are burning well shut the primary air spin wheel in the
door and control the fire with the secondary air wash lever (if you are unable to sustain the fire with
secondary control it is very likely that your logs have a high moisture content).
3
When refuelling the fire, to ensure clean burning, the primary air control should be opened for a
couple of minutes so that flames are established on the newly fuelled logs. The primary air should be
closed once these flames are fully established and the logs have become blackened.
After refuelling, it is recommended that you do not leave the appliance unattended until it is certain
that the logs are burning well with a sustained flame.
The appliance works best by refuelling with two medium sized logs. Typically, the logs should burn
well for about 1 hour.
Please Note: For long periods of burning you will need to use seasoned hard wood. Longer periods of
burning may cause the door glass to blacken, but this can be cleared when you get the fire back up to
temperature and providing the secondary air control is kept slightly open the glass will then stay clear.
When loading the fire be careful not to leave logs projecting over the log retainer as you may crack the
glass when closing the door.
When the stove is use in the winter season we suggest 25mm (1”) of ash is left in the bottom when
cleaning, as a wood fire burns more efficiently on a bed of ash.
De-ashing the stove is achieved by removing the log retainer and shovelling the ash out into a nonflammable container, or we suggest using an ash clean attachment which can be plugged into your
vacuum cleaner.
Please note:
If there is insufficient burning material in the fire bed to light a new fuel charge, excessive smoke
emission can occur. Refuelling must be carried out onto a sufficient quantity of glowing embers and
ash that the new fuel charge will ignite in a reasonable period. If there are too few embers in the fire
bed, add suitable kindling to prevent excessive smoke
The maximum amount of fuel specified in this manual should not be exceeded, overloading can cause
excess smoke.
Lighting the stove with Solid Fuel and Multi-fuel kit fitted
Lay a fire of sticks and paper, establish fire and then add the appropriate smokeless fuel, use the
primary air control as the main control. When using a mixture of wood and coal balance the primary
and secondary control to achieve the desired flame picture.
When using solid fuel in this stove you must only use fuels recommended for enclosed appliances, Oil
derivative fuels must not be used as this will shorten the life of the grate.
The Ash pan will need emptying once a day.
When burning solid fuel the stove will work at its best using the primary air control only (door Spin
wheel), it is unlikely you will need to use the secondary air control which will only need to be opened
slightly to keep the glass clear.
In the summer or when the stove is not being used for a long period of time, clear all the ash out and
leave primary and secondary air vents open to prevent condensation.

Please Note:
On lighting the stove for the first time from new the paint on the stove will cure and give off a metallic
smell. It is advisable to ventilate the room i.e. open the windows. This will subside fairly quickly
after the stove has been burning hot for at least 2 hours.
The appliances have been assessed and are suitable for intermittent burning.
Operation with the door open can cause excess smoke. The appliance must not be operated with the
appliance door left open except as directed in the instructions.
Baker Oven.
Before using the oven make sure the stove paint has fully cured.
All three baker stove models have an oven situated above the fire box which can be accessed via the
top oven door. The oven comes with a shelf that can be set in three positions, on the oven base, middle
or top support. When operating the oven suitable protective gloves must be used as the oven and shelf
can get extremely hot. Be careful that nothing falls out when opening the oven door.
The oven temperature can be regulated using the stove secondary air control. The temperature will
vary when using different fuels and fuel moisture content, a simple oven thermometer can help you
reach the required temperature.
An oven vent is situated in the top flue cleaning access plate. This vent should draw unwanted cooking
smells out of the oven and into the chimney. Do not block this vent off.
The top plate can be used as a cooking surface with the hottest area being near the back. Please note, if
you do wish to use the top plate for cooking the paint could scratch or become discoloured.
It is recommended that you clean soot and deposits that build up on the outside of the oven (in the fire
compartment.) The back and sides can be cleaned through the fire box, remove the baffle plate and
clean with a small long handled flue brush. Access to the top of the oven can be gained through the
cleaning access in the top of the oven.
Pre-Season Check:
The chimney needs to be swept at least once a year.
The chimney must be checked at this stage for blockages before lighting i.e.: bird’s nests
This is probably the time to have the chimney swept before the beginning of the seasons.
Before lighting at the beginning of the season or after prolonged shutdown periods, check the door
seals are in good condition; the steel insulating plates are in good condition and baffle plate is in
position.
If the stove has been used for a long period of time we suggest the chimney be swept twice a year.
Air vents
Check periodically that the exterior ventilation grill is clear.
Servicing
All servicing must to be carried out by a qualified competent engineer on a regular basis.
No unauthorised modifications of the appliance should be carried out.
Use only replacement parts recommended by the manufacturer.
Notes
5
Down draughts
In adverse weather conditions a down draught may occur and will make the stove smoke, if this should
happen shut all the stove air controls.
If this occurs on a regular basis call in your engineer.
It is possible a chimney cowl could cure this problem.
Refuelling
When refuelling, the primary air control should be opened for a couple of minutes so that flames are
established on the newly fuelled logs. The primary air should be closed once these flames are fully
established and the logs have become blackened.
After refuelling, do not leave the appliance unattended until it is certain that the logs are burning well
with a sustained flame.
Do not load the fuel above the log retainer.
Fault finding
If the stove starts emitting fumes into the room:-
(1) Check there is no blockage or restriction in the flue.
(2) Check the external air vent is not blocked.
(3) Check the baffle plate has not dislodged itself from the stove.
(4) Call an engineer.
If the stove does not perform properly this could be due to unseasoned wood or too much ash in the
firebox.
In the case of the stove malfunctioning shut all vents, open the windows and let the residual fuel in
stove burn out.
In the event of a chimney fire
Call the fire brigade
Raise the alarm to let others in the house know
Close down all the air controls of the stove, but be careful they could be very hot
Move furniture, rugs and other objects away from the stove
Check the chimney breast in other rooms for signs of excessive heat and move objects away if
necessary
At all times consider the safety of yourself and others in taking the above action
