PELLET STOVE KMP EKERUM / NEPTUNI Important points to note! In order for the stove to function properly, the following rules must be followed. • The stove needs air in order to function, never close the supply air vent to the house. Note that there must be at least one air supply ventilator in the room where the stove is located. • The room temperature must exceed 5˚C for the thermostat to work. • Your installer must adjust the stove in connection with commissioning and fill in the values in the warranty/proof of installation at the end of these user instructions. • The store should be emptied periodically and the sawdust removed using a vacuum cleaner. Also test the safety switch by unlocking one of the filler hatches or the door during operation or start-up. The pellet feeder should then be stopped. • We recommend removing the ash daily during the firing season, or each time pellets are filled. Remove ash through the door using the handle supplied. Lift out the burner from the burner housing and remove any ash from the ash box (unburned pellets must not be emptied into the ash box, there is a risk of them starting to smoulder).

The htch is opened by removing the four screws, one can then sweep Cleaning lid (2) the flue (3) and the smoke tubes (4). The flue can easily be turned through 90˚, which makes Top (1) it possible to connect it to the chimney vertically or horizontally. The front (5) can be opened. This is how one accesses the soot scrapers (6). These (four Flue tubes (4) per handle) can be slid forwards and backwards, and scrape off the soot between the smoke tubes. The door (7) is opened with the handle supplied and can be swung up on its Flue pipe (3) two adjustable hinges. The burner housing (7) is located in the hearth and is accessible when the door has been opened. It is installed with four screws on the rear of the stove body. The burner (8) sits loose in the burner housing. The firing element (9) is located in the burner housing behind the burner. It is the firing element that gives off the heat required to ignite the pellets. The flame sensor (10) is beside the ignition unit and indicates if there is flame Cut-out switches (18) in the burner or not. The ash box (11) is inset in the bottom of the hearth under the burner Soot scrapers (6) Pellet hopper (16) housing. It can be removed when the door has been opened. The combustion fan (12) is placed on the rear of the burner housing and provides the burner Door (5) with air for combustion. The control circuit board (14) is placed inside the stove and contains a transformer for 12V-voltage to the electronics and control and supervision. The hot air fan (15) is located inside the stove and sucks air from the rear of the stove, which is then heated Pellet feeder (17) up in the smoke tubes and expelled through the holes in the front. The pellet hopper (16) has space for 38 litres of pellets, and is filled through the top. The pellet feeder (17) is below the pellet hopper and consists of a rotating cylinder with Covector fan (15) a spiral spring that slowly turns at the bottom of the hopper and prevents blockages.

The surface temperature of adjacent building parts may not exceed 80˚C. The Building regulations contain a number of regulations to prevent fires. Generally speaking, the regulations are applied if the following is being observed: • Minimum diameter (round duct) or side (rectangular duct) should be 80 mm. • The stove must be placed at least 100 mm from the wall. • The smoke ducts must be made of non-flammable material of sufficient durability and with sufficient resistance to temperature variations, climate effects, corrosive smoke • The underlay must be made of non-flammable material, and extend at least 300 mm to gases and slag and use of sweeping tools etc. the front and 100 mm to the side of the stove. If the hearth surface is made of steel it must be at least 0.7 mm thick. • It must be possible to clean the flue. If fallen ash cannot be removed via the stove’s cleaning hatch another cleaning hatch must be arranged. The cleaning hatch must not • Flammable material must not be exposed to temperatures exceeding 80˚C.

PELLET STOVE KMP EKERUM / NEPTUNI 3 Operation and maintenance 3.2 Ash removal The K6 stove is designed for a long service life, motors and other moving parts are of a very The amount of ash that build up in the burner varies depending partially on how the stove is fired (number of starts and stops, division between full and half speed), and partially on high quality. All bearings are lifetime lubricated and the only preventative maintenance that is normally required is sweeping and cleaning the quality of the pellets. The ash content varies between different pellets, but can also differ between different batches from the same factory. This can only be established through trial 3.1 Fuel and error, but generally the ash layer in the bottom should be a maximum of a centimetre deep. We recommend removing the ash daily during the firing season, or each time pellets The stove must be lit with wood pellets, 6 or 8 mm, class 1 according to Swedish standard. are filled. The pellets are supplied in plastic sacks that can be stacked on pallets or other suitable surfaces. Avoid exposing the sacks to moisture or mechanical stresses (vibrations or blows). Remove ash through the door using the handle supplied. Lift out the burner from the burner Careless handling of pellets can easily reduce them to sawdust, which can cause feed and housing and remove any ash from the ash box. Certain pellets generate a hard cake of cin- combustion problems. Fill the hopper with pellets slowly and without too great a drop. ders, this may need to be broken up using a screwdriver or removed using one’s hands. The store should be emptied periodically and the sawdust removed using a vacuum cleaner. Ash from the stove must be stored in a container made of non-flammable material, for The hopper is filled by opening the hatches above the pellet magazine. example a metal bucket, until it has cooled sufficiently that it can be held in one’s hand. The different stove models have different types of hatches. Where there is a knob the hatch It can then be thrown away, bear in mind that wood ash contains nutrients that can be is opened by turning the knob a 1/4 turn anti-clockwise.

Remove the soot rakes as follows: 1. The silicon seal seals against the stove body. 2. Slacken off the nut a couple of turns. 3. Press the soot rake upwards or downwards. 4. Pull the soot rakes (in pairs) straight out. 5. The soot rakes are sealed in reverse order. The chimney must be checked for blockages if unused for a prolonged period.
PELLET STOVE KMP EKERUM / NEPTUNI 3.5 Hot air fan Vacuum cleaning of the fans with a brush nozzle should be carried out a couple of times annually after removing the side hatch. Do not forget to pull the plug out before the side hatch is removed. The side hatch is secured using two panel screws that are visible when the hatches above the pellet magazine been lifted. After the screws have been removed the upper section of the side hatch is pulled straight out and hooked onto the side member. NOTE! When vacuuming the hot air fan, be careful not to damage the long and vulnerable fan blades.
