2.4. Combustion air regulation
Kanuk® hot-air kilns are fitted with primary
(image B) and secondary (image A) air vents
for combustion air supply. During heating up
and use with nominal heat output, the primary
and secondary air vent in the rear wall must be
opened. The primary air vent (imageB) is prima-
rily meant for pane ventilation and ought to be
closed partially or fully only for incandescence.
By closing the secondary air vent in
the rear wall, the combustion air ven-
tilation will be choked. This can result in higher emission rate.
The secondary air vents cannot be closed fully for safety reasons.
2.5. Heating up
Fully open the control valve in the exhaust gas stub, the primary air vent in the
combustion chamber door, and the secondary air vent in the rear wall. For hea-
ting up, stack the firewood in a pyramid over screwed paper and cover it in thin
logs of wood. Then start the fire. After heating up, fill up the Kanuk® hot-air kiln
with logs according to chapter 2.1.
Before the first heating-up, make sure to check the correct installation of the vie-
wing window of the Kanuk® hot-air kiln. The screws for the hanger on the front
side of the combustion chamber door must be tightened to the degree that the
door remains movable (hand-tight).
Note:
Kanuk® hot-air kilns are coated in high quality heat-resistant
paint. During the first phase of heating up, the burn-in of the paint may
result in slight smoke development and odor nuisance. Make sure to
keep your windows and doors open when heating up the kiln for the
first time.
DIRECTIONS OF USE
Note:
For the protection of the stove you should pay attention to the
fact, that the stove is loaded moderately with firewood, so that the steel
can distend steadily. Because of the amazing temperature differences
between the ambiant temperature and the temperature within the sto-
ve, there may be crackling noises withing the Kanuk®.
