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.
Operating the riddle grate
The ash is moved from the combustion chamber to the ash drawer by pushing
the riddle grate handle back and forth. This frees the way for the primary air
intake (regulated via Rikatronic³) which is required for heating up.
The riddle grate can be closed for further wood addition after the heating up.
Note
If there are any problems with lighting due to the chimney draught, then always
leave the riddle grate open.
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.
