6. MANUAL OPERATION
Each combustion process needs oxygen. Before ignition the
combustion chamber must be regularly cleaned from ash to ensure
an adequate supply of air.
The right fill amount for heating up is 2 - 3 logs of the quantity given
in AMOUNT OF FUEL.
Correct heating up primarily according to instructions counteracts
excessive smoke during heating up.
RIKA firelighter
Always ignite the RIKA firelighter on the red tip. One block consists
out of 8 ribs which can be divided to the desired size. The amount
of RIKA firelighters also depends on the size and humidity of your
firewood. Ideally, one rib is enough to light up the fire.
Tip
You can order the RIKA firelighter with the number E15834 at your
RIKA dealer.
Combustion air regulation
The performance of your stove also depends on the chimney
draught; therefore the control knob for combustion air regulation
must be used according to your own experience.
Zero setting
Middel position
Heating up position
The heating-up position may only be used for heating up or refilling.
Note
The air control seals to 100%. Complete closing of the air regulator
(zero setting of control knob)
during operation
poses a hazard of
deflagration and is strictly prohibited.
A stop to prevent inadvertent closing of the air intake has been
integrated for safety reasons.
If the stove is not in use, warm air can release through the chimney.
The Zero position of the control knob can prevent this. To prevent air
intake completely, the control knob must be pressed back slightly,
only then the zero position can be set and the air regulator thus be
closed.
