Kalfire W Series, Installation And User Manual, Page: 27 / 68

Kalfire W65/38C, W66/48S, W90/47C and W90/47S
The Kalfire W65/38C, W66/48S, W90/47C and W90/47S have two
removable baffle plates. These baffle plates are situated above
the smoke hood just below the heat exchanger. The baffle plate
ensures an optimal combustion.
In the following situations, it may be necessary to remove the
baffle plate(s) or decrease its the size.
•
Smoke return when the Kalfire starts.
•
Condensation in the flue duct.
•
When the Kalfire W65/38C, W66/48S, W90/47C and
W90/47S are being used as an open fireplace.
If necessary, you can adjust the baffle plates as follows:
1. Remove the lower baffle plate and see if this solves the
problem. If the problem still occurs, then also remove the
upper baffle plate. If the problem still isn’t solved, then
something else is the cause. If removing the plate(s) solves
the problem, proceed with the next step.
2. Cut away a strip of 3 cm wide, at the front and rear of the
baffle plate. If necessary, do this for both baffle plates.
A 3-sided and corner fireplace is always a more sensitive product
than a fireplace with a door at the front, particularly when used
with an open door. If the Kalfire W65/38C, W66/48S, W90/47C and
W90/47S are used as an open fireplace, some smoke may flow
back into the room - even if both baffle plates have been removed.
This may have a number of causes:
•
Insufficient pull in the chimney duct.
•
The air flow patterns in the room where the 3-sided
fireplace has been installed.
•
Too low ignition temperature.
Kalfire W80/52T and W105/47T
The Kalfire W80/52T and W105/47T has several removable baffle
plates. These baffle plates are situated above the smoke hood just
below the heat exchanger. The baffle plate ensures an optimal
combustion.
In the following situations, it may be necessary to remove the
baffle plate or decrease it’s the size.
•
Smoke return when the fireplace starts.
•
Condensation in the flue duct.
If necessary, you can adjust the baffle plate as follows:
1. Remove all baffle plates and see if this solves the problem. If
the problem still occurs, then something else is the cause.
If removing the plate solves the problem, proceed with the
next step.
2. Use a saw or knife to cut away a strip of 1 cm wide at the
front of the baffle plate. Do not remove too much. The baffle
plate must still be able to rest on the bracket. A maximum of
6 cm can be removed from the baffle plate.
3. In certain situations, it may be necessary to remove the
baffle plate entirely.
The Kalfire W105/47T is not suitable to be used as an open
fire place.
