Kalfire W Series, Installation And User Manual, Page: 14 / 68

Checklist (to be executed) when using the fireplace
1. Check the flue for proper functioning; minimum required
draught (suction) is 12 Pa.
2. Test the air slide valve for proper functioning; this will work
after the fire has burnt for 50 minutes: (see chapter 3.3.1).
•
Extreme right position = Maximum supply of combustion
air.
•
Extreme left position = Air supply closed; the flames will
slowly extinguish.
If the flames do not react, or do not react enough, to the
change in the air slide position, it may be worthwhile
considering installing an external damper on the fireplace.
3. After a while close all windows and doors and ensure that all
appliances that remove air from the home, such as cooker
hoods, fans etc. are switched off. Check if the appliance can
be used with an opened door (no smoke trickles back into
the room), (see chapter 3.3).
4. Use a little smoke to check for correct supply and exhaust
of convection air.
3.3 Placing the appliance
The appliance may not be placed in the following situations:
•
i n stairwells, with the exception of buildings with no more
than two dwellings;
•
in entrance halls with public access;
•
in rooms where flammable or explosive substances or
mixtures are processed, stored or manufactured;
•
in rooms or dwellings where air is extracted by air-
conditioning or with air heating using fans, with the
exception of the following cases where a risk-free
functioning of the fireplace is safeguarded:
- the installation only circulates air in the room;
- the installation has reliable safety precautions, so that
over pressure is automatically created in the room where
the fireplace is installed;
- the combustion air flow of the fireplace and the volume
flows of ventilating installations in the room and the
rooms connected by ventilation ducts, create an under
pressure that remains below 0.04 mbar. ATTENTION:
This situation must also be safeguarded if easily
accessible control equipment used for the ventilating
installation is moved or removed.
- a supply of fresh air is ensured by the air intake system,
allowing the smoke extraction system to function
(e.g. by means of an open window or a fresh air supply
system).

1. Check immediately upon arrival if the products supplied are
complete and undamaged. Report any damaged or missing
items to the supplier immediately.
2. Remove the transport security (Two screws in the
convection duct with yellow sticker on the rear of the
convection casing).

3. Check the following parts for correct working:
- Lifting door up and down.
- Opening and closing the design doors.
- Forward tilting action of door for cleaning.
- Air control.
- Adjustment feet.
- Any damper with control button (accessories).
- Any aeration valves (accessories).
4. Hand the installation/user manual personally to the user of
the fireplace.
5. Test the internal fresh air valve for correct working. This
valve is situated on the rear of the fireplace, behind the
fresh air connection. When the door is closed, the fresh
air flows into the combustion chamber via the air slide
valve. When the door is opened, the fresh air flows into the
combustion chamber via the convection casing and outlet
openings.
3.2 Check flue
In order to guarantee correct functioning, we advise you to test/
ignite the fireplace at the earliest possible opportunity (before
it has been completely built-in) (see Chapter 5 Lighting the
fireplace). Why?
•
This will allow you to decide if an external damper is
necessary.
•
The enamel can also cure before the surround is finished.
Allowing the enamel to cure will also cause less nuisance for
the end user.
•
This gives you the chance to find out in an early stage,
whether or not the fireplace-flue combination is working
correctly.
