Installation and Operating Instructions Klapi
Chimney flue
The heater can be safely installed in a T600 temperature rated chimney flue, unless other instructions
have been given. The inside diameter of the flue chimney pipe must be 115 mm. The recommended
draught of the chimney flue is approximately -12 Pa.
The heater can be connected to the chimney flue either from the rear or top of the heater. The
unused opening in the heater is closed with the cover plate supplied. The heater also comes with a
short connection flue pipe for connecting the heater to the chimney flue from the rear.
The connection flue pipe must not be installed too deeply into the chimney flue because it will block
the draught. Leaks in the chimney flue also weaken the draught of the heater, and, therefore, the flue
connection must always be sealed with a fire-proof sealing material. If the flue connection leaks, the
flue gases produced by the heater may ignite in the chimney.
The chimney flue and the connection pipes must be swept regularly according to the instructions
provided by the law.
Maintenance and service
Always empty the ash pan of the heater before each new heating to enable the combustion air
conducted through the ash pan to cool off the grate and extend the service life of the grate. Use a
container made of metal, and preferably equipped with feet, for the ashes.
The ash container must not be stored in the vicinity of inflammable materials, as there may be
glowing embers in the ashes removed from the heater. They may cause a risk of fire.
In case of a chimney fire, close the doors of the heater ash pan and firebox and the smoke damper.
(If installed) The local fire authorities must be notified of a chimney fire. After a chimney fire, a chimney
sweeper must inspect the condition of both the heater and flue before the heater can be used again.
The soot and ash accumulated in the smoke ducts of the heater must be removed periodically
through the sweeping opening in the heater’s centre flue duct.
Due to the extensive thermal fluctuations, the heater stones erode and crumble during heater use.
Stack the stones again at least once a year and more frequently in heavy use. Also replace any eroded
stones. When replacing the sauna stones, also remove the stone debris accumulated in the stone
compartment.
Wipe the dust and dirt off of the heater with a damp cloth.
Do not alter the structure of the product. Use only accessories approved by the manufacturer.
Maintenance and spare parts
In case of a fault that cannot be solved, please contact the store where you purchased the heater or
email [email protected]. Spare parts can be purchased from Mondex distributors and the manufacturer.
When purchasing spare parts, please refer to the name, power, serial number and manufacturing date
of the heater to ensure you receive the correct parts.
Warranty
In household use, the heater has one (1) year warranty. In commercial/professional use, the warranty
is three (3) months. Commercial use refers to facilities in which the heater is in use on a continuous
basis, such as fitness centres, swimming pools, housing companies etc. It is not recommended that
the heater is on for longer than six (6) hours at a time. Retain the sales receipt or warranty card. The
warranty does not cover external or internal mechanical damage caused by, for example, the impacts
of stones or the heater falling over. The warranty also does not cover defects caused by acts of nature.
Changing the heater stones
Re-stack the heater stones and replace any eroded stones annually (every three months in com-
mercial/professional use). A good condition and proper, spacious stacking of the stones on top of the
firebox inside the heater ensure sufficient air flow. If this is not carried out annually, the air flow may
be obstructed, resulting in the firebox burning out prematurely, which is not covered by the warranty.
