ENGLISH 1 . I M P O R T N A N T I N F O R M AT I O N BEFORE SETTING UP GENERAL WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 1.1 Ground load bearing capacity: The general introductory warning information must be followed. Before setting up, ensure that the supporting construction has a load bearing capacity that will support the weight of the fire. Commissioning details are shown on the sticker on the Ceran area. ➧Read the whole of the manual thoroughly before commissioning the fire.
The fire door must only be opened for adding fuel and must then be closed again, as this could otherwise lead to a danger to other fires that are also connected to the chimney. You must follow the flue gas formation in the event of unfavourable weather (atmospheric inversion) and the draught conditions. If too little combustion air is added smoke can enter your house or flue gases can escape. Additionally harmful deposits can arise in the fire and in the chimney. 1.8.
ENGLISH 2 . B R I E F H E AT I N G I N F O R M AT I O N SUITABLE FUELS AND FUEL QUANTITIES MAXIMUM FUEL QUANTITIES In principle your fire is suitable for burning dry billets. You can also burn fuels such as wood brickets. 2 billets á approx. 0.9 kg Wood: Wood brickets (broken): 2 off á approx. 0.9 kg Only use dry fuel (between 14% and 18% rel. wood humidity).
2. CORRECT FIREWOOD QUANTITY AND FIREWOOD SIZE ➧ Too much firewood causes overheating. This causes the material to burn too heavily and your fire will produce poor flue gas values. ➧ Too little firewood or too large billets have the effect that the fire does not reach the optimum temperature. The flue gas values are poor here. CLEAN BURNING ➧ The correct firewood quantity means: The following is important for clean burning: for wood 1.
ENGLISH 3 . I N S TA L L I N G T H E F I R E We recommend original flue pipes from the RIKA flue pipe range for professional connection. Before first commissioning or after changing the location of the fire, cleaning and service work, ensure that the flue plate, as well as the log guard (Fig. Combustion chamber, Part 22 and 24) is in the correct position. When using a flue pipe with throttle valve, the throttle valve must be open.
3. STARTING THE FIRE Now light the paper. Wait until the soft wood chips are burning well. In order to keep exhaust emissions as low as possible, we would ask you to keep to the following starting instructions. Turn the rotary control knob 90° to the left a few minutes later. The primary air is now closed and the secondary air is completely open. A few minutes later set the rotary control knob to the ideal position (See item: “Rotary control knob”) 1.
ENGLISH OPERATING THE SHAKER GRATE THE FIRE PAINT ONLY HARDENS PROPERLY AFTER HEATING UP DURING USE. (Page 3, Part 31) The ash is moved from the fire into the ash drawer by moving the shaker grate handle to and fro. This frees up room for the primary feed air that is required for the heating phase in the fire. - Do not touch the surface during heating. It is still soft. - Our paints are completely harmless in accordance with the TÜV-certificate; there is no danger to health.
