3. Einrichtung
3.1 Standort und Abstände
The Prity K1 R wood stove must be installed on a non-combustible floor protector (hearth) that extends beyond the stove's footprint according to local building codes. Maintain the following minimum clearances from combustible materials:
- Hinteren: 400 mm
- Sides (Left & Right): 400 mm
- Front: 800 mm
- Decke: 600 mm
These clearances are critical for fire safety. Consult local regulations and a certified installer if unsure.
3.2 Kaminanschluss
Connect the stove to a suitable chimney system using a flue pipe with a diameter of 130 mm. Ensure all connections are sealed properly to prevent smoke leakage and ensure optimal draft. The chimney must be clean and in good condition.
3.3 First Firing (Curing Process)
During the first few fires, the paint on the stove will cure. This process may produce some smoke and odor. Ensure the area is well-ventilated during this time. Start with small fires and gradually increase the heat over several days to allow the stove to cure properly and prevent damage to the finish.
4. Bedienungsanleitung
4.1 Kraftstoffart
Only use dry, seasoned hardwood as fuel. Wood should be split and allowed to dry for at least 6-12 months. Burning wet or unseasoned wood reduces efficiency, increases creosote buildup, and can lead to excessive smoke. Never burn:
- Treated wood, painted wood, or particle board
- Plastics, garbage, or chemical waste
- Brennbare Flüssigkeiten
4.2 Das Feuer entzünden
- Open the primary air intake (usually located on the ash pan door) fully.
- Place crumpled newspaper or firelighters at the bottom of the firebox.
- Stapeln Sie kleine Anzündholzstücke auf das Zeitungspapier/die Anzündwürfel.
- Zünde die Zeitung/Anzünder an.
- Sobald das Anzündholz gut brennt, geben Sie nach und nach größere Stücke abgelagerten Holzes hinzu.
- Close the firebox door once the fire is established.
4.3 Luftkontrolle
The Prity K1 R stove features air controls to regulate the burn rate and heat output:
- Primärluft: Controls the air entering the firebox from below the grate, feeding the initial combustion. Open fully for starting a fire and adding new fuel. Reduce once the fire is established.
- Secondary Air (if applicable): Provides air to burn off gases above the fire, improving efficiency and reducing emissions. This may be controlled by a separate vent or integrated into the design.
- Rauch Damper/Throttle: A control on the chimney pipe (if installed) can be used to adjust the draft and slow down the burn rate. Use carefully to avoid excessive smoke or reduced performance.
4.4 Tanken
When the flames have died down and only glowing embers remain, it is time to refuel. Open the primary air control, slowly open the firebox door to allow any smoke to clear, and then add new pieces of wood. Close the door and adjust air controls as needed.
4.5 Over-firing
Avoid over-firing the stove, which occurs when too much fuel is burned at too high a rate. This can lead to excessive temperatures, potentially damaging the stove and chimney, and increasing the risk of a chimney fire. If the stove glows red, it is over-firing. Reduce air intake immediately.
5. Wartung
5.1 Ascheentfernung
Regularly remove ash from the ash pan. Do not allow ash to build up to the level of the grate, as this can restrict airflow and damage the grate. Always use a metal container with a tight-fitting lid for ash disposal, and store it away from combustible materials.
5.2 Glasreinigung
The glass in the firebox door can be cleaned when the stove is cold. Use a damp cloth dipped in fine wood ash or a specialized stove glass cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can scratch the glass.
5.3 Schornsteinreinigung
The chimney and flue pipe should be inspected and cleaned at least once a year, or more frequently depending on usage and fuel type. Creosote buildup is a fire hazard. It is highly recommended to hire a certified chimney sweep for this task.
5.4 Allgemeine Inspektion
Periodically inspect the stove for any signs of wear or damage, including:
- Door seals and gaskets: Ensure they are intact and providing a good seal.
- Firebox lining (refractory bricks): Check for cracks or deterioration.
- Flue pipe connections: Ensure they are secure and free of leaks.
- Air controls: Verify they operate smoothly.
6. Fehlerbehebung
| Problem | Mögliche Ursache | Lösung |
|---|---|---|
| Rauch dringt in den Raum | Poor draft, blocked chimney, wet wood, door opened too quickly | Check chimney for blockages, ensure adequate air supply, use dry wood, open door slowly |
| Geringe Wärmeabgabe | Wet wood, insufficient air, small fire, chimney too cold | Use dry wood, open air controls, build a larger fire, pre-heat chimney |
| Fire goes out quickly | Lack of fuel, insufficient air, excessive draft | Add more fuel, open air controls, adjust flue damper (if present) |
| Glas wird schwarz | Wet wood, insufficient secondary air, low burning temperature | Use dry wood, ensure proper air circulation, burn at higher temperatures |
| Internal stones crack | Normal wear and tear, rapid temperature changes, impact | Minor cracks are often cosmetic and do not affect performance. Replace severely damaged or crumbling stones. |
