6. MANUAL OPERATION
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 which is necessary for heating up.
In general the riddle grate should stay open. The air regulation is made
completely with the front air control knob.
Combustion air regulation
The performance of your stove also depends on the chimney draught; therefore
the control know must be used according to your own experience.
The “heating-up position“ may only be used for heating up.
If the stove is not in use, warm air can release through the chimney. The zero
setting of the control knob can largely prevent this.
Note
Sometimes a lot of smoke develops when wood is placed on a low firebed or
when there is too less fresh air for combustion. An explosive gas/air mixture
may arise and cause an eventual heavy deflagration. For safety reasons it is
recommended to leave the combustion chamber door closed and press the
control knob at the rear wall down completely into “heating-up position”. If the
log wood is not igniting, start a new heating-up procedure after it stopped
smoking.
RIKA firelighter
Always ignite the RIKA firelighter on the red tip. One block consists out of 8 ribs
which can be divided to the desired size. The amount of RIKA firelighters also
depends on the size and humidity of your firewood. Ideally, one rib is enough
to light up the fire.
Tip
You can order the RIKA firelighter with the number E15834 at your RIKA
dealer.
Correct heating up
1. Press the control knob completely into “heating-up position”. Open the
combustion chamber door and sweep the ashes into the ashtray. Then open
the riddle grate completely.
Place left and right two small pieces of chipboard lengthways in the bottom of
the combustion chamber.
Place two logs crossways on top of this chipboard. (see AMOUNT of FUEL)
2. Now place further pieces of chipboard in crosswise layers on top of the
logs and place 2-4 ribs of the RIKA-firelighter on top of the chipboard. Some
uncoated paper can be placed underneath the chipboard in case there is no
firelighter available.
3. Now light the firelighter (or the uncoated paper) and close the combustion
chamber door. Correct heating up primarily counteracts excessive smoke
during heating up.
Set the air control knob to middle position some minutes later.
Another few minutes later (depending on draught and fuel quality / amount), the
control knob can be set further to zero setting to reduce the air intake.
Realimentation
After the first burn-off, add two logs again. Set the controll to “heating-
up position” again until the wood is well lit. Further regulation is effected as
described in Item 3.
Please proceed in the same way for every further addition of wood. To decrease
see AMOUNT of FUEL - part load.
