Changing the opening direction of the hatch of
the Kota 50 l cauldron
You can install the hatch of the Kota 50
-
litre cauldron so that it
opens to the left or to the right.
»Completely remove the hatch hinge rod by pulling it upwards.
At the same time hold the hatch to prevent it from falling down.
»Lift the locking mechanism and place it at the opposite side
the frame.
»Reverse the locations of the hatch
’
s cover plate and handle.
»Re
-
assemble the hatch in the reverse position and insert the
hatch hinge rod so that it goes through all the upper and lower
apertures on the frame and on the hatch. The hatch hinge rod
is wider on top –
this ensures that it stays in place.
The handle is attached to the inner side of the hatch during
transportation. Remove the nut and attach the handle to the
outer side of the hatch.
Fuel, heating and water quantity
Always fill the cauldron with water prior to heating. Use water that meets qaulity requirements of domestic water,
do not use salty water.When filling the tank with water, stop pouring when the water level reaches a couple of cen-
timetres below the upper edge because the water volume will increase when heated up. When the tank is filled
with cold water, condensation drops can form on the surface of the tank and the user might mistakenly think that
the tank is leaking. This phenomenon will disappear as the water is heated.
Always use clean, high
-
quality and dry wood for cauldron heating. Max amount of firewood is 2kg at the time. Cold
water and narrow smoke chanel cause the weak draft in the beginning compared to sauna heater. Avoid a strong
flame because it will result in the water boiling very quickly. Do not add firewood anymore if water is already boi-
ling.
During the heating the chimney valve must be fully open. Before you close the valve after heating, check that
there is no glowing coal in the firebox. Otherwise fumes may be released in the room. Carbon monoxide is an
odourless and colourless toxic gas. Closing the valve after heating will slow down cooling of water.
Maintenance
The cauldron is made of high
-
quality stainless steel. Nonetheless, you should bear in mind that water can contain
additives, including iron and lime, that can cause rust to appear. Also when istalling and manufacturing, like wel-
ding, there can be some iron particles etc that can end up into cauldron. Rust can be removed with fine
-
grain
(400) sandpaper. Do not use steel wool for cleaning.
The cauldron should be cleaned regularly, both inside and out. A thick layer of soot on the cauldron
’
s tank decele-
rates water heating and increases fuel consumption. When removing the tank for cleaning and then replacing it,
bear in mind that the top bent edge is sharp and negligence in handling it can cause injury.
Clean the ash drawer on a regular basis. The ash should not become an obstacle in the path of the air circulating
through the ash grate to cool it as the grate can become deformed when overheated.
In wintertime you cannot leave water in the cauldron after using it because if the water freezes, it can damage the
cauldron.
Disposal
For disposal take the cauldron to a public waste recycling centre.
