6. MANUAL OPERATION
Note
For the operation of Rikatronic4 please see the enclosed manual (Only for
stoves with Rikatronic4)
Combustion air regulation
The performance of your stove also depends on the chimney draught; therefore
the control knob for combustion air regulation must be used according to your
own experience.
The primary air intake is absolutely necessary for heating up. The “heating-up
position“ may only be used for heating up.
Note
The air control seals to 100%. Complete closing of the air regulator (zero
setting of control knob) during operation poses a hazard of deflagration and
is strictly prohibited.
If the stove is not in use, warm air can release through the chimney. The zero
position of the control knob can prevent this.
Depending on model:
To prevent air intake completely, the control handle behind the air control knob
must be pulled to the front, only then the zero position can be set and the air
regulator thus be closed.
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” – primary and
secondary air intakes are opened completely in the heating-up position. Open
the combustion chamber door and sweep the ashes into the ashtray.
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.
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 the left 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 control knob for combustion air regulation to middle position some
minutes later. The primary air intake is now closed and the secondary air intake
is completely open. The control can be set to ideal position another few minutes
later (depending on draught and fuel quality / amount).
After the first burn-off, again add two logs (see Amount of fuel). Set the control
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.
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.
