CONSTRUCTION MANUAL
Note: We can only guarantee the operational safety and the nominal heat
outputs of our Kanuk® hot-air kilns as long as the combustion 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 of 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 combustibles. 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 similar 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®
hotair kiln (position 0). The hand knob must be
pointing in the direction of the exhaust gas stub.
In case of a high draught of the chimney (see ta-
ble 1, feed pressure), the control valve in the ex-
haust gas stub can be partially closed (position
Z).
Note: Overheating and/or improper combustibles can result in
damage of the combustion chamber! See table 2: maximal combustible
amounts (given in kilograms per hour).
DIRECTIONS OF USE

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 primary
and secondary air vent in the rear wall must be
opened. The primary air vent (imageB) is prima-
rily 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 secondary 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 hea-
ting 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 installation of the vie-
wing window of the Kanuk® hot-air kiln. The screws for the hanger on the front
side of the combustion chamber door must be tightened to the degree that the
door remains movable (hand-tight).
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.
DIRECTIONS OF USE
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
between the ambiant temperature and the temperature within the sto-
ve, there may be crackling noises withing the Kanuk®.

DIRECTIONS OF USE
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.
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 escaping
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 se-
condary 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 hoked.
When close the combustion 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.

DIRECTIONS OF USE
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 re-
placed in case of damage.
3. Guarantee
3.1. Guarantee / Warranty
End consumers get a two-year guarantee. In case of commercial use, the gu-
arantee period is extended by 12 months. Viewing panes and ceramic sealing
cords are generally not included in the guarantee. In case of damage, please
contact your Kanuk® co-contractor in rst instance. Photos of the blemished
element and the location of installation as well as the exhaust system are requi-
red in general for handling cases of damage. Furthermore, please submit the
production number and a detailed description of damage. Ask your co-contrac-
tor for the required form sheet. Only original or spare parts accredited by the
manufacturer may be used. Wrong use and inobservance of this manual will
abrogate the warranty claim.

Operation instruction for Kanuk® Turbo wood-burning stoves
Ventilator
The ventilator is installed at the back of the Kanuk® Turbo and it turns bet-
ween 1600 and 2000 m³ an hour.
The ventilator‘s power can be regulated stageless and it is possbile to con-
trol it additionnaly with the thermostat at the front‘s right side of the sto-
ve. The temperature indicator is xed at the front‘s upper part. It meters
the temperature between covering and combustion chamber.
temperature indicator control
Ventilator and control are supplied with 230 V via a normal power outlet.
Note: It is generally forbidden to put objects into the opening of the air
inlet. This can inuence the operating or damage the ventilator com-
pletely.
