Operation; Combustion - Carbel KRONOS 100 DC Manual De Montaje, Uso Y Mantenimiento

The building work must be finished in such a way that the wood burner can expand during operation: the brickwork
must never be supported on or against the sides of the appliance. Leave a minimum expansion joint of 0.5 cm on each
side and at least 1 cm the top of the front.

3. OPERATION

3.1 FANS
The fans at the bottom of the fireplace are operated by a three position switch (I, 0, II ).
You can vary the fan speed at any time. At a slower speed (I), operation will be quieter, and the room will be
heated gradually. When operating with a strong fire, it is advisable to adjust the fans to a faster speed (II) to cool
the wood burner and heat the room faster.
In switch position (O), the fans will be turned off, but a safety thermostat will be able to activate them at any time
if the temperature at the lower part of the stove reaches 50ºC in order to protect the electric components.
NOTE. To avoid overheating, the wood burner must be connected to the mains if there is a fire or embers in it.

3.2 Combustion

For good combustion that is clean and environment-friendly (CO-free), when the wood is well lit, and it has
reached a high temperature, you must close the primary air inlet and keep the secondary air inlet open. This will
let the air for combustion (preheated) enter through the top of the fireplace next to the glass and through the
back wall below the deflector to ensure better gas combustion. You will notice this in an increase in flames and
temperature.
Wood burners and inserts are intermittent combustion appliances. This means that they should be lit, loaded with
an approximate weight of fuel as recommended by the manufacturer for each model, followed by a full
combustion cycle and fuel reloads after each combustion cycle.
Good combustion is necessary for optimum performance and a better view of the flames through the glass.
Guidelines:
- Maintain a high and constant temperature in the fireplace. Accordingly, the fireplace door must be closed at all
times and opened only to load firewood, which must be done as quickly as possible. Keeping the door open will
cause the stove to cool down, it will worsen the combustion and make lighting of the new wood more difficult.
- Do not take a long time when loading firewood and wait for the end of the combustion cycle, when the flames
of the previous load disappear.
