External air vent Wood consumes oxygen when it burns. It is therefore essential that oxygen is reintroduced to the room in which the heating cooker/heating stove is installed to prevent the air in the room from becoming "heavy" and unbreathable. It is mandatory to install an external air vent with a minimum passage of at least 490 cm (round hole with minimum...

CONNECTIONS Hydraulic connection The hydraulic connections must be made in a rational manner. using the connections on the heating cooker/heating stove template. To facilitate the connection of the pipes, we have provided all plumbing connections on the left side, leaving a spacious area for making the appropriate connections.
KLOVER srl accepts no liability for injury to persons or animals or damage to objects due to failure to connect the heating cooker/heating stove to earth or failure to comply with IEC specifications.
Electronic control unit Two cables exit the control unit, one of which has no plug. The cable with the plug should be connected to a mains socket with the specifications detailed above. The cable with no plug should be connected to the three-way motorised valve (if fitted).

Control of any 3-way valve fitted for the DHW circuit The heating cooker/heating stove is equipped as standard with a control for a possible 3-way motorized valve to be installed on the domestic hot water circuit. (see wiring diagram on page 30).
Control of any coupled boiler If the heating cooker/heating stove is to be coupled with another boiler already installed on the system (e.g. wall- mounted gas boiler), it must be ensured that when the heating cooker/heating stove functions for the heating system, the boiler stops.

LINE: Connect terminals 1 and 2 to the electrical power supply. (terminals already connected to power supply cable in the factory) AUX: This is used to control a boiler coupled with the heating system where present. Connect terminals 4 and 5 (or 3 and 4 depending on the type of connection to the coupled boiler) to the TA (Room Thermostat) contact on the boiler.
LEVEL.: Connect the level switch (water level sensor) to terminals 20 and 21. This is used to signal low water level inside the heating cooker boiler unit. (Terminals already connected to level switch in the factory). The flue pipe and connection to the same The flue is an essential component for the heating cooker/heating stove's efficient operation.

Parts made from non-combustible materials - capable of withstanding combustion gases and potential condensation - must be used for mounting the flue gas pipes (for the section from the appliance to the flue inlet); It is forbidden to use fibre cement pipes to connect the appliance to the flue;...
Chimney The chimney is a device crowning the flue, used to aid the dispersion of combustion gases. It must satisfy the following requirements: It must have a usable outlet cross-section no less than double that of the flue onto which it is inserted; ...
INITIAL START-UP Filling the system for the first time After connecting the heating cooker/heating stove, fill the system as follows: Unscrew the cap on the automatic air vent valve (jolly) on the heating cooker/heating stove (provided as standard on all models); ...
Switching on Perform the following operations: Before switching the heating cooker/heating stove on, make sure that the control unit switch is on; Make sure that there is water in the system and reservoir; Set the thermostat that controls the pump to a temperature of 55-60 °C;...
WARNING!!! IN ORDER FOR THE HEATING COOKER/HEATING STOVE TO OPERATE PROPERLY THE CAST IRON GRILLE INSIDE THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER MUST BE POSITIONED AS SHOWN BELOW , TAKING CARE NOT TO INVERT IT, TO PREVENT THE ASH FROM COMPACTING AND NOT FALLING INTO THE ASH DRAWER. The oven and hob (heating cooker only) The oven on the heating cooker is heated by the exhaust gases.
The flue pipe and air inlet are the most important parts that ensure the correct operation of the cooker. In the event of particular circumstances of poor flue pipe draught caused by particularly adverse weather conditions (strong wind, low pressure, etc.) partially close the internal smoke damper without closing it completely.
Anti-freeze protection In intensely cold periods it is good practice to leave the heating system running. In the event of prolonged absence, anti-freeze should be added to the heating water and the water inside the heating cooker/heating stove, or the system must be completely emptied.
MAINTENANCE Cleaning the boiler Regular and systematic maintenance is a fundamental component for the good functioning, optimum heat yield and long life of the appliance over time. It is therefore recommended to clean the boiler periodically (at least once a year).
Page 47
Remove the handle on the internal smoke damper, holding the internal blade with one hand to prevent it from falling behind the oven. Remove both the handle and internal blade of the internal smoke damper.
Page 48
Remove the cast iron upper hob and remove any ash deposits on top of and all around the oven. After cleaning, refit the hob, the internal smoke damper, the smoke damper and flue pipes. Open the vent under the oven to clean the gas circuit pipes, following the instructions below:...
Page 49
Loosen the two hex screws on the inspection vent.
Page 50
Remove the vent as shown in the diagram and remove any deposits under the oven.
Page 51
Refit the inspection vent as shown in the photos and retighten the hex screws. HEATING STOVE Remove the pipes that connect the heating stove to the flue pipe and clean them if necessary. Remove the smoke damper.
Page 52
Remove the cast iron upper hob and remove any ash deposits on top of and all around the oven. After cleaning, refit the hob, the smoke damper and flue pipes.
Any deposits on the walls of the combustion chamber (if particularly resinous wood is burned) can be eliminated by making the heating cooker/heating stove work at maximum conditions for 30-40 minutes (in this case set the thermostat to 80°C) by burning thin dry wood. Leave the fire to go out and then scrape the inside walls using a steel spatula.
Maintenance of the boiler unit The heating cooker/heating stove is equipped with a special magnesium anode to protect the boiler unit and stainless steel heat exchangers from corrosion caused by stray currents in the system. This anode also protects against galvanic corrosion. MAGNESIUM ANODE The anode must be checked at least once a year and replaced when its diameter measures less than 15 mm.
THE WOOD TO BURN Wood types Wood is one of the most precious materials offered by nature. For heating purposes, it must be verified that the wood satisfies some important requisites that must not be ignored, the most important of which is without doubt the correct seasoning or drying, in other words the wood must have the correct degree of humidity, around 10-15%, therefore also the period of the year in which it is felled becomes...
Page 56
average a well-seasoned wood has a calorific value of 3200 kcal/kg. Calorific value of wood based on its humidity level: % humidity Calorific value kcal/kg 3490 3250 3010 2780 2450 2300 The CALORIFIC VALUE of the wood is the amount of heat yielded during combustion, referring to the unit quantity of the material burned.

USEFUL ADVICE 1. The temperature of the thermostat that controls the pump must never, for any reason, be set below 55°C, to prevent the formation of condensate that could corrode the internal boiler. 2. To give priority to DHW ( KP top/TSP top models only), set “DHW mode”...
