INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE: Kirami Comfort Steady
Minimum fill:
The tub needs to be filled at least 5 cm above the upper
connection pipes of the stove before lighting the fire in the
stove (picture on right).
Do not let a full tub freeze in the winter. Empty the tub or
ensure appropriate heating.
Do not connect the stove to the circulation pump; it cannot
ensure the pressure because it is planned only for gravitational
circulation.
Note about the minimum fill and heating the stove!
The tub stove must never be lighted when the tub is empty or not full! Heating a half-
empty tub will lead to melting the stove! You must not start emptying the tub before the
fire and embers have burnt out completely. Heating a half-empty tub will lead to melting
the stove!
The water is layered when it heats up and, therefore, it needs to be mixed so that the actual
temperature can be found. The optional cover should be in place when heating the water.
Do not leave the water unattended, in case there is a risk of subzero temperatures. The bottom
plugs and exhaust valves need to be left open, so that any water collected in the tub can be
discharged and it will not freeze at subzero temperatures.
You can use 19 mm spanners for the outer edge of the hoop tighteners. These
tighteners are used for adjusting the hoops. You do not usually need to adjust
these in a plastic tub. If the side planks dry and shrink you can adjust the hoops
accordingly. Check that the planks are situated nicely before tightening so that they will not bend
out or in between the hoops and actual tub.
LIGHTING AND HEATING THE STOVE
The use of stoves is as easy as using any other normal furnace. The draught
can be adjusted with a grate in the mouth hatch. Loosen and tighten the
fastening on the button by turning it before you move it and tighten it to the
desired position.
The hatch of a MACU stove has fixed air scoops that cannot be adjusted as
standard, but you can purchase air adjustment grid as an extra.
Use smaller and dry kindling wood for igniting the fire and then add bigger
pieces as needed every 10 to 15 minutes. Maintain the fire in the stove
during heating, so that the wood will burn properly and the tub will heat with
maximum power. If the fire is too small, the heating time becomes remarkably longer.
Use any lighter fluid according to the instructions. Do not use any other fuels for lighting. We
recommend lighting pieces, e.g. Burner paraffin bags.
Cold water and warm air (temperature difference/air humidity) often cause condensed water in the
ash collector. Therefore, the stove is not leaking although there is some water in the furnace. You
can suspect a leakage only if the water level is going down.
