Adding wood
Fill amount for heating up: 2 logs of max� total 2�5kg, depending on
requirements�
The red flashing phase varies depending on the ambient influences
between 5 and 10 min� If the combustion chamber door is opened,
the display changes to green flashing�
If the temperature increase is sufficient (wood added and lit), the
display changes to
constantly
green
(the RIKATRONIC3 starts the
burn-off control)�
If an increase in temperature in not detected, the display changes,
depending on combustion chamber temperature, to the status prior
to adding wood,
either
to
red
flashing
or
to
constantly
red
.
Burn out
If no more wood is added during the
red
flashing
phase, the display
changes to
constantly
red
� No more logs may be added from this
point since ignition of any logs added cannot be ensured� The stove
must be heated up again�
ECO operation
If the room to be heated and the stove are already at temperature,
continued operation with lower heat output and log addition is
possible�
Fill amount in ECO operation: 2 logs in total approx� 1�5kg
If the Eco key is pressed when adding wood (after closing the
combustion chamber door), the display changes to yellow flashing
and Eco operation is activated�
This operating mode also regulates the burn off with lower heat
output to the optimum�
If the Eco key is pressed again or the combustion chamber door is
opened, the display changes from yellow back to green and normal
operation is activated again�
Complete closing of the air flaps
The RIKATRONIC3 has a safety device that prevents the air flaps
closing completely during heating operation (hazard of deflagration)�
However the air flaps can be closed completely with a sequence of
ECO key and opening and closing the combustion chamber door to
stop the existing draught on stove standstill�
Q
Ensure that the stove has cooled down, is switched off and that
the combustion chamber door is closed
Q
Plug in the mains plug and activate the main switch at the rear
of the stove
Q
Wait until the reference run has been completed and the display
lamp is constantly red
Q
Now depress the ECO key for 5 sec with the combustion chamber
door closed until the display changes to yellow flashing
Q
Open and close the combustion chamber door, the display is now
constantly yellow
Q
The depress the Eco key again for 5 sec until a click is heard and
the air flaps close completely
As soon as the air flaps reach end position, the display goes off and
the stove can be switched off and the mains plug disconnected�
Power failure
In the event of a power failure the air regulation flap remains
unchanged until the fire goes out (no display)� If mains voltage is
available again after a brief power failure, the display lights up as
on start for 10 sec
green
and then changes to
red
flashing
due to the
repeat reference run of the air flap motor�
If the temperature of the stove is still more than 80°C, the display
changes and the control system changes to the respective status�
If the stove cools back down during the power failure, the display
changes to
constantly
red
Manual regulation
Note
Manual operation may only be performed with the unit switched off�
Any other procedure than that stated below may cause damage to
components and inevitably leads to loss of warranty�
Q
Switch the stove off at the main switch and disconnect the mains
plug�
Q
Insert the socket spanner supplied sufficiently far into the sleeve
as shown�
Turning clockwise opens the air flaps; anti-clockwise closes them�
Q
Turn the socket spanner first to heating-up position (open until a
stop is detected)�
Q
Turn the socket spanner gradually anti-clockwise after the
heating-up phase to control the air intake and thus the burn-off
manually�
Note
Always ensure that the stove is supplied with sufficient air for
combustion; otherwise increased smoke development may occur�
