Thank you for choosing a Kanuk® hot-air kiln with hotplate. We wish you lots of
fun trying out your new Kanuk®. Please read this manual carefully before rst use.
It contains important notes and information on installation, operation, and safe
use.
1. Construction manual
Please take into account that combustion installations may only be put into ser-
vice after a district master chimneysweeper has veried functionality and safety
of the exhaust system (chimney) and the heating appliance.This also applies to
the case of changes.

Please make sure to x the door additionally during the
entire process.
1.4. Combustion air supply
The combustion air supply is sucient for Kanuk® hot-air kilns up to a no-
minal heating capacity of 27 kW, provided there is at least one door or
window to be opened. Furthermore, the room needs a cross-section of
at least 150 cm². The room must not fall below 4 m³ per kW of nominal
heating capacity.
1.5. Couplers
The coupler between the heat system and the exhaust system (chimney) ought
to be as short as possible, straight and needs to be installed in rising position.
You may need to caulk the links. For cleaning the couplers, there ought to be at
least one opening left free.The material density must not fall below 2 mm.

1.7. Chimneys
Kanuk® hot-air kilns don’t require a chimney of their own if the door
spring was tted for layout 1. The combustion measurements were
carried out according to the norm DIN 13384 parts 1, 2 and 3 with the value
triplet given in table 1.

13384 parts 1, 2 and 3:

maximum quantity of combustible in kg 3,4 5,7
* depending on building structure, insulation, etc.
Note: We can only guarantee the operational safety and the
nominal heat outputs of our Kanuk® hot-air kilns as long as the com-
bustion measurements of the chimneys were carried out according
to the norm DIN 13384 part 1, 2 and 3 and was attested by a district
master chimneysweeper.

2. Directions for use
2.1. Safe combustibles
Only air-dried, natural logs of wood measuring between 25-80 cm in length and
35 cm in diameter with less than 20% water content may be used as combus-
tibles. In case you use wood remainders, make sure it was stored in a dry place
for at least two years before using it as rewood. Never use more than the given
amount in table 2 at a time to prevent overheating of the Kanuk® hot-air kiln.
Don’t use treated or plastic-coated wood, chip trays, sawdust, coal, coke, or si-
milar combustibles!
2.2. Use of Kanuk®
Kanuk® hot-air kilns may only be used with combustion chamber door
closed. All Kanuk® hot-air kilns can be tted with a self-closing door
mechanism (layout 1).
2.3. Buttery control valve
Remember to open the buttery control valve in
the exhaust gas stub when using the Kanuk® hot-
air kiln (position 0). The hand knob must be poin-
ting in the direction of the exhaust gas stub. In
case of a high draught of the chimney (see table
1, feed pressure), the control valve in the exhaust
gas stub can be partially closed (position Z).
2.4. Combustion air regulation
Kanuk® hot-air kilns are tted with primary
(image B) and secondary (image A) air vents
for combustion air supply. During heating up
and use with nominal heat output, the pri-
mary and secondary air vent in the rear wall
must be opened. The primary air vent (image
DIRECTIONS OF USE
Note: Overheating and/or improper combustibles can result in
damage of the combustion chamber! See table 2: maximal combus-
tible amounts (given in kilograms per hour).

DIRECTIONS OF USE
B) is primarily meant for pane ventilation and ought to be closed partially
or fully only for incandescence.
By closing the secondary air vent in the rear wall, the combustion air ven-
tilation will be choked. This can result in higher emission rate. The secon-
dary air vents cannot be closed fully for safety reasons.
2.5. Heating up
Fully open the control valve in the exhaust gas stub, the primary air vent in
the combustion chamber door, and the secondary air vent in the rear wall.
For heating up, stack the rewood in a pyramid over screwed paper and
cover it in thin logs of wood.Then start the re. After heating up, ll up the
Kanuk® hot-air kiln with logs according to chapter 2.1.
Before the rst heating-up, make sure to check the correct instal-
lation of the viewing window of the Kanuk® hot-air kiln. The screws for the
hanger on the front side of the combustion chamber door must be tighte-
ned to the degree that the door remains movable (hand-tight).
2.6. Information in case of a chimney re
If you use the wrong combustible or if the combustible is still too wet, there is
the possibility of deposits in the chimney, which may cause a chimney re. The
air supply at the stove has to be closed immediately and of course you have to
contact the re brigade and your chimney sweeper as well. After the re is done,
the chimney needs to be checked by a specialist, to make sure that there are no
damages or leakinesses.
Note: Kanuk® hot-air kilns are coated in high quality heat-resistant
paint. During the rst phase of heating up, the burn-in of the paint may
result in slight smoke development and odor nuisance. Make sure to
keep your windows and doors open when heating up the kiln for the
rst time.
Note: For the protection of the stove you should pay attention to the
fact, that the stove is loaded moderately with rewood, so that the steel
can distend steadily. Because of the amazing temperature dierences bet-
ween the ambiant temperature and the temperature within the stove, the-
re may be crackling noises withing the Kanuk®.

DIRECTIONS OF USE
2.7. Procedure in case of incidences – safe shutdown
In some rare cases there is the possibility that there is no draught in the chimney
and that even a pilot re will not help. If that‘s the problem, you have to contact
a chimney sweeper, in no case try to light a bigger re. If there is smoke esca-
ping from the stove, of course the chimney sweeper has to be informed, too.
Open every window immediately, to make sure that there is enough fresh air
available.
2.8. Relling
Open the primary air vent in the combustion chamber door and
the secondary air vent in the rear wall and set the control valve
in the exhaust gas stub to position A. Then open the combustion
chamber door and ll with wooden logs until reaching the rear wall.
Make sure to leave enough space underneath the logs, as that will
prevent the re from being choked. Then close the com-
bustion chamber door. Once the logs are well burnt, you can consider
curtailing the primary and secondary air vent to facilitate a more regular
burn-o. Make sure to leave the primary air vent open at all times for the
pane ventilation to function without interference.
2.9. Bed of ashes
Remember to leave a 5-10 cm layer of ashes on the ground of the
combustion chamber. The bed of ashes will protect the ground
of the kiln from blowing. Remove only excess ashes with a shovel
every now and then. You can obtain the required accessories from your
Kanuk® co-contractor.
2.10. Cleaning
The gas leading parts of the Kanuk® hot-air kilns (bae plate,
buttery valve, etc.) and the connecting pieces need to be cleaned in case
of delement. Carry out a cleaning in all cases once during and after the
heating period. The sealing cord of the combustion chamber door needs
to be replaced in case of damage.
