the entire process.

1.4. 1.4. Combustion air supply

The combustion air supply is sucient for Kanuk® hot-air kilns up to a nominal

heating capacity of 27 kW, provided there is at least one door or

window to be opened. Furthermore, the room needs a cross-section of

at least 150 cm². The room must not fall below 4 m³ per kW of nominal

heating capacity.

The coupler between the heat system and the exhaust system (chimney) ought

to be as short as possible, straight and needs to be installed in rising position.

You may need to caulk the links. For cleaning the couplers, there ought to be at

least one opening left free.The material density must not fall below 2 mm.

1.7. Chimneys

Kanuk® hot-air kilns don’t require a chimney of their own if the door

spring was tted for layout 1.The combustion measurements were

carried out according to the norm DIN 13384 parts 1, 2 and 3 with the value

triplet given in table 1.

CONSTRUCTION MANUAL

Note: We can only guarantee the operational safety and the nominal heat

outputs of our Kanuk® hot-air kilns as long as the combustion measurements

of the chimneys were carried out according to the norm DIN 13384 part 1, 2

and 3 and was attested by a district master chimneysweeper.

2. Directions of use

2.1. Safe combustibles

Only air-dried, natural logs of wood measuring between 25-80 cm in

length and 35 cm in diameter with less than 20% water content may be

used as combustibles. In case you use wood remainders, make sure it was

stored in a dry place for at least two years before using it as rewood.

Never use more than the given amount in table 2 at a time to prevent

overheating of the Kanuk® hot-air kiln. Don’t use treated or plastic-coated

wood, chip trays, sawdust, coal, coke, or similar combustibles!

2.2. Use of Kanuk®

Kanuk® hot-air kilns may only be used with combustion chamber door

closed. All Kanuk® hot-air kilns can be tted with a self-closing door

mechanism (layout 1).

2.3. Buttery control valve

Remember to open the buttery control valve in

the exhaust gas stub when using the Kanuk®

hotair kiln (position 0). The hand knob must be

pointing in the direction of the exhaust gas stub.

In case of a high draught of the chimney (see ta-

ble 1, feed pressure), the control valve in the ex-

haust gas stub can be partially closed (position

Z).

Note: Overheating and/or improper combustibles can result in

damage of the combustion chamber! See table 2: maximal combustible

amounts (given in kilograms per hour).

DIRECTIONS OF USE

2.4. Combustion air regulation

Kanuk® hot-air kilns are tted 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 rewood in a pyramid over screwed paper and cover it in thin

logs of wood.Then start the re. After heating up, ll up the Kanuk® hot-air kiln

with logs according to chapter 2.1.

Before the rst 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 rst 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

rst 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 rewood, so that the steel

can distend steadily. Because of the amazing temperature dierences

between the ambiant temperature and the temperature within the sto-

ve, there may be crackling noises withing the Kanuk®.

DIRECTIONS OF USE

2.6. Information in case of a chimney re

If you use the wrong combustible or if the combustible is still too wet, there is

the possibility of deposits in the chimney, which may cause a chimney re. The

air supply at the stove has to be closed immediately and of course you have to

contact the re brigade and your chimney sweeper as well. After the re is done,

the chimney needs to be checked by a specialist, to make sure that there are no

damages or leakinesses.

2.7. Procedure in case of incidences – safe shutdown

In some rare cases there is the possibility that there is no draught in the chimney

and that even a pilot re will not help. If that‘s the problem, you have to contact

a chimney sweeper, in no case try to light a bigger re. If there is smoke escaping

from the stove, of course the chimney sweeper has to be informed, too. Open

every window immediately, to make sure that there is enough fresh air available.

2.8. Relling

Open the primary air vent in the combustion chamber door and the se-

condary air vent in the rear wall and set the control valve in the exhaust

gas stub to position A. Then open the combustion chamber door and ll

with wooden logs until reaching the rear wall. Make sure to leave enough

space underneath the logs, as that will prevent the re from being hoked.

When close the combustion chamber door. Once the logs are well burnt,

you can consider curtailing the primary and secondary air vent to facilitate

a more regular burn-o. Make sure to leave the primary air vent open at all

times for the pane ventilation to function without interference.

2.9. Bed of ashes

Remember to leave a 5-10 cm layer of ashes on the ground of the combustion

chamber. The bed of ashes will protect the ground of the kiln from blowing.

Remove only excess ashes with a shovel every now and then. You can obtain

the required accessories from your Kanuk® co-contractor.
