KanUK OrIGInal oPeration anD maintenance
note: To protect the stove, you should make sure that the stove is moderately loaded with firewood during start-
up, so that the boiler steel can stretch steadily. Due to temperature differences between ambient temperature
and temperature in the stove, cracking sounds may occur in the stove, these are normal expansion phenomena
that do not represent a defect in the product.
Lean the furnace door. After approx. 10 min. close the furnace door and close the secondary air opening to a small
gap (turn the control almost all the way down) so that the window rinsing works.
Reloading
EN
Do not add new logs until 75-90% of the first run has burned down. Open the kiln door a crack and wait a short
time to reduce smoke and ash emission. After you have opened the door completely, you should spread the embers
evenly over the ash bed with a poker. Now you can load the Kanuk® Original stoves with logs according to number
Table 2 (on page 9). To do this, place two logs lengthwise directly on the bed of embers and two more across. Close
the furnace door. If necessary, the secondary air damper can be opened again briefly to stoke the flames.
OPeratIOn anD MaIntenance
Combustion air control
Kanuk® Original furnaces are equipped with primary and secondary air
openings (Fig. A) for combustion air supply. During start-up and operation at
rated heat output, both dampers must be open. The secondary air damper
on the door is mainly for window rinsing, can be opened if necessary, and
should only be fully or partially closed for ember retention. Pushing the
primary air control towards the furnace closes the primary air damper and
the combustion air supply is throttled, which may increase emissions. The
secondary air openings cannot be closed tightly for safety reasons.
Ash
Cleaning
The flue gas conducting parts as well as the connecting pieces must be cleaned if they are dirty. Irrespective of this,
cleaning must be carried out at least once during and after the heating period. The sealing cord of the firebox door
must be replaced if damaged.
combustion air supply
To ensure proper combustion air supply, the combustion gable (see Fig. B) should be removed 2-3 times per heating
period to remove combustion residues by suction. In case of coarse contamination, the lateral ceramic parts can be
removed by simply lifting them.

Kanuk® Original hot-air furnaces have no grate and no ash box. Combustion
residues remain in the furnace until the lower edge of the bar (see Fig. left B ) is
reached. It is not necessary to remove the ash without leaving any residue.
Cleaning is done with a commercially available shovel.
