TUBE outside heater - Instruction manual Page 15/44
Usage
Warning!
Never start the fire when the tub is empty or the water
level is insufficient! Heating a non full tub will destroy the
heater!
The tub must always be filled so that the water level is at
least 5 cm above the upper pipe of the heater (picture on
the right). Only then it is safe to start the fire.
Do not start emptying the tub until the fire in the heater
is completely out! Heating a non full tub will destroy the
heater!
The water in the tub must not be allowed to freeze during the winter. Empty
the tub or make sure that the water is heated adequately.
The heater cannot be connected with a circulation pump! It will not stand
the pressure, since it has been designed to use only gravitational free
circulation.
Before using the tub for the first time, we recommend to rinse the stove's water circulation
pipes carefully. Rinse the inside of the heater through upper pipes with water so that possible
garbage comes out of the heater. When filling the tub, make sure that the rubber hoses used
for connecting the stove do not leak. If necessary, tighten the hose clamps.
Do not overheat the water. We recommend a bathing temperature of no more than +37°C.
Empty the heater from ashes after every use. If the grates stay inside the ashes, it will
shorten the lifetime of the grates considerably.
Use only small and dry firewood for the heater. The use of big and moist wood will easily
double the heating time. Use of common alder is not recommended, since it causes more
soot and stickier soot than other firewood.
The use of the heater that is loaded from outside of the barrel is as easy as the use of any
other normal fireplace. We recommend the use of small firewood when starting the fire and
then gradually add bigger ones, if needed.
While heating the water, it is advisable to keep up a fair-sized fire
in the heater so that the wood would burn properly and the
maximum output can be achieved. When keeping a small fire the
heating time will be much longer.
Air intakes in the furnace door should be adjusted according to your
needs. When fully open the fire runs well but power might not be
optimal. Please find the best position for your needs.
