Installation Instruction for Koker with thermostat
1
Select a position on a solid level surface with direct access to a chimney. On non-
masonry floors, use an approved fireproof floor protector under stove. Maintain 16”
clearance on sides of stove to combustibles. A 2” clearance on rear and 16” clearance
on front of stove. Clearance from corners of stove is 8”. See label on stove.
Plumb hopper end of stove
with level. Hopper end of stove must be vertical.
On bottom vent models, mount timer on side or rear of coal hopper.
Install convection blower
in the large square opening in the back of the stove under the
stoker unit. Slide blower into opening approximate 1”. Screw blower into place with 4
#10 X 1 ½”self- drilling screws provided in the ash tub. Secure the two filter brackets
directly to the convection blower, with the two filter replacement openings towards the
top. Secure with 4 #8 X ½” self-drilling screws.
Mount hopper
in place and fasten securely. Reach down into bottom of inside hopper
and bend flange of hopper into throat of stoker unit.
Locate thermostat
in an area where heat from stove can be freely reached. Mount
plastic wall plate of thermostat. Connect thermostat wires to screws on lower portion of
wall plate. Run thermostat wires to Relay on stove and connect wires to terminals
marked T.T. (note: color coding of thermostat wires is unimportant.) Be sure to snap
thermostat onto wall plate.
Install stove pipe
from stove to chimney and secure with screws. On top vent models,
place the non crimped end of pipe of barometric damper down onto the 6” exhaust
outlet on stove. Swinging door on barometric damper may face any direction; however
the hinges must be horizontal.
High chimneys or high winds could cause stove to operate inefficiently and could
possibly damage stove mechanism. It is therefore necessary that you install the
barometric damper that is supplied with your stove. All top vent stoves are required to
use an automatic damper.
Plug power cord
into 115 volt grounded wall outlet. Combustion motor should be
running and you are ready to start a fire.
To start a fire
, fill hopper with coal, reach in through fire door and pull coal down to
cover entire grate area. Place kindling (charcoal supplied) into a full sheet of
newspaper, crumble paper, and dig kindling deep into coal in the center of grate. Light
newspaper with match and plug power cord into outlet.
NEVER USE GASOLINE
OR LIGHTER FLUID TO START FIRE
. When kindling is burning well, place a
few hands full of coal onto fire.
