PELLET STOVE KMP MYSINGE

Installation Instructions - 2010.05.20 - 13 /24
3 Operation and maintenance
The stove is designed for a long service life, motors and other moving parts are of a very high
quality. All bearings are lifetime lubricated and the only preventative maintenance that is
normally required is sweeping and cleaning
3.1 Fuel
The stove must be lit with wood pellets, 6 or 8 mm, class 1 according to Swedish standard.
The pellets are supplied in plastic sacks that can be stacked on pallets or other suitable surfac-
es. Avoid exposing the sacks to moisture or mechanical stresses (vibrations or blows). Careless
handling of pellets can easily reduce them to sawdust, which can cause feed and combustion
problems. Fill the hopper with pellets slowly and without too great a drop. The store should
be emptied periodically and the sawdust removed using a vacuum cleaner.
The hopper is filled by opening the hatches above the pellet magazine.
The different stove models have different types of hatches. Where there is a knob the hatch
is opened by turning the knob a 1/4 turn anti-clockwise. To fully fill the magazine one has to
open the other hatch. The hopper can be filled while the stove is running, but because the
feeder switches off when the hatches are opened, you only have a few minutes before the
hatch must be locked again. If the hatch is open for longer, the flame is likely to get so low
that the stove will switch itself off, after which it must be restarted again. .
3.2 Ash removal
The amount of ash that build up in the burner varies depending partially on how the stove
is fired (number of starts and stops, division between full and half speed), and partially on
the quality of the pellets. The ash content varies between different pellets, but can also differ
between different batches from the same factory. This can only be established through trial
and error, but generally the ash layer in the bottom should be a maximum of a centimetre
deep. We recommend removing the ash daily during the firing season, or each time pellets
are filled.
Remove ash through the door using the handle supplied. Lift out the burner from the burner
housing and remove any ash from the ash box. Certain pellets generate a hard cake of cin-
ders, this may need to be broken up using a screwdriver or removed using one’s hands.
Ash from the stove must be stored in a container made of non-flammable material, for
example a metal bucket, until it has cooled sufficiently that it can be held in one’s hand.
It can then be thrown away, bear in mind that wood ash contains nutrients that can be
beneficial to gardens.
3.3 The glass
After a period of operation the glass in the door becomes coated with ash dust and
eventually becomes opaque. It should, therefore, be wiped off from the inside using
kitchen roll moistened with normal tap water, we recommend that this is done each
time the pellets store is filled. No cleaning agent is usually necessary.
If the pane of glass becomes black and/or difficult to clean, see section 3.6.1.
When cleaning the black painted metal components only water and in certain cases
washing up liquid should be used.
