Kota Cauldron
Thank you for having chosen a Kota Cauldron. To make the most of your Cauldron please read the manual care-
fully before you start installing and using it and keep the manual for future reference.
The products are meant only to be used as a caulron and for heating the water. Do not modify the design of the
Cauldron. Do not heat the cauldron if you lack sufficient knowledge, or you are under the influence of substances
causing intoxication. Cauldron must not be used by underage people.
When installing fireboxes all local laws have to be followed. In case of questions and for additional information do
not hesitate to contact the Rescue Board or a construction supervision authority.
Please take special care when handling hot water!
Structure
The cauldron casing is made of either painted or stainless steel. The hatch and upper frame are enamelled. The
ash grate is made of cast iron. The cauldron
’
s water tank is made of high
-
quality stainless steel. The cauldron in-
sulation comprises a porous vermiculite mass that sustains moisture well.
Nb! Do not lift cauldron from the flue opening.
Kota 80l cauldron with stainless steel outer casing can be installed also outdoor. Chimney for outdoor installation
is an option.
Safety intervals
Safety distances from flammable objects:
sides and rear: 150 mm
front: 500 mm
top: 1000 mm
Install the cauldron on a fireproof and stationary base (minimum 5 cm concrete plate).
If the cauldron is installed on a floor made of combustible materials, floor with moisture barrier or with underfloor
heating, an Kota installation base must be used to protect the floor from the thermal radiation of the cauldron. Also
a piece of sheet metal must be installed in front of the cauldrons firebox door, which extends at least 100 mm over
the sides of the door and at least 400 mm in front of the door.
If a woodburning sauna heater is installed at a distance closer than 250 mm to the cauldron, you must place a
protection layer of fireproof plates between the two devices to prevent damage to the cauldron exterior from the
heater operation. With the fireproof
-
plate protection layer in place, the distance between the heater and the
cauldron can be reduced to 60 mm.
Flue connection
Cauldron chimney must be T600 chimney.
Connect the flue carefully. The connection pipe must be pressed tightly against the cauldron casing. The flue
aperture diameter must be approximately 10
-
15 mm wider than the diameter of the connection pipe. Carefully
compact the flue connections with a fireproof sealant. Perform the flue connection in such a manner that excludes
the flue weight or thermal expansion at the point of connection causing cauldron overload.
Adjustable legs
The round cauldron is supplied with 3 adjustable legs. Lift the cauldron by about 50 mm and insert the adjustable
leg
’
s screw end in the hole in the plastic part. Put the cauldron back on its surface and adjust the legs to ensure
that it is level.
