DIRECTIONS OF USE
2.6. Information in case of a chimney fire
If you use the wrong combustible or if the combustible is still too wet, there is
the possibility of deposits in the chimney, which may cause a chimney fire. The
air supply at the stove has to be closed immediately and of course you have to
contact the fire brigade and your chimney sweeper as well. After the fire is done,
the chimney needs to be checked by a specialist, to make sure that there are no
damages or leakinesses.
2.7. Procedure in case of incidences – safe shutdown
In some rare cases there is the possibility that there is no draught in the chimney
and that even a pilot fire will not help. If that‘s the problem, you have to contact
a chimney sweeper, in no case try to light a bigger fire. If there is smoke escaping
from the stove, of course the chimney sweeper has to be informed, too. Open
every window immediately, to make sure that there is enough fresh air available.
2.8. Refilling
Open the primary air vent in the combustion chamber door and the se-
condary air vent in the rear wall and set the control valve in the exhaust
gas stub to position A. Then open the combustion chamber door and fill
with wooden logs until reaching the rear wall. Make sure to leave enough
space underneath the logs, as that will prevent the fire from being hoked.
When close the combustion chamber door. Once the logs are well burnt,
you can consider curtailing the primary and secondary air vent to facilitate
a more regular burn-off. Make sure to leave the primary air vent open at all
times for the pane ventilation to function without interference.
2.9. Bed of ashes
Remember to leave a 5-10 cm layer of ashes on the ground of the combustion
chamber. The bed of ashes will protect the ground of the kiln from blowing.
Remove only excess ashes with a shovel every now and then. You can obtain
the required accessories from your Kanuk® co-contractor.
