IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The installation and operation information given here is of general nature. National and European standards, local and building regulations as well as fire prevention laws must be observed during the operation of the stove.

General safety instructions for the operation of your stove

• Read the entire manual before starting up your stove thoroughly and observe the caution notices.
• Your heating unit must not be moved without approved means of transport with sufficient load-bearing capacity.
• Your heating unit is not suitable to be used as a stand or as a ladder.
• Please keep in mind that your stove’s surface heats up considerably during operation. We, therefore, recommend wearing a safety mitten when operating your stove.
• Attention – stove varnish is no rust prevention!
• Make your children aware of this particular danger and keep them at a distance from the heating unit whenever it is in operation.
• Only burn approved fuels and materials as listed in the chapter “Clean Burning”.
• The burning or placing of flammable or explosive materials, like empty spray cans, etc. into the firebox as well as the storage of such materials in the immediate vicinity of your heating unit is strictly forbidden due to the danger of explosion.
• Do not wear loose or flammable clothing when adding fuel to the fire.
• Placing non-heat-resistant objects on the heating unit or in the vicinity of the heating unit is forbidden.
• Do not lay laundry on the stove for drying. Laundry hung up to dry must be kept at a safe distance from the stove because of the danger of fire.
• The wood stove is not suitable for long-term heating.
• During the operation of your heating unit, it is forbidden to use flammable or explosive materials in the same or an adjacent room to the one in which your heating unit is located.
• The appliance must be operated with the stove door closed.
• The stove door and all fittings for adjusting the stove must be closed if the appliance is out of use.

Setting up your stove

Required safety distances
(Minimum distances –see nameplate – in Fig. 2)

• a – toward the front/side in the radiated area > 1200/600 mm
• b – to the side > 200 mm
• c – to the back > 200 mm

Corner installation:

• a – toward the front/side in the radiated area > 1200/600 mm
• b – to the side > 200 mm

Combustion air
Being the user of the stove you must take care of a sufficient combustion air supply. Sealed-up windows and doors may not allow a sufficient combustion air supply or disturb the draught behavior of your stove. Please ensure the additional supply of fresh combustion air if necessary. For details please consult your specialist retailer. Make sure that the combustion air intakes are not blocked!

Stove pipe connection
For your own safety, stringent laws apply for connecting the stove pipes to the chimney. Your professional dealer or distributor knows these laws. Please have your certified retailer carry out the connection of your stove.

CORRECT OPERATION OF YOUR STOVE

Approved fuels
Dry, well-cured, and natural wood (hardwood preferred), wood briquettes.

Maximum amount of fuel
Maximum amount of fuel to be added: 1,7 kg wood or 1,6 kg briquettes. Larger amounts of fuel can lead to overheating and thus damage the stove.

Clean burning
The wood must be dry (relative wood moisture < 15%) and untreated and the right amount of wood must be burned in order to ensure a clean fire that releases only small amounts of emissions.

Startup procedures
During the first 3-4 operations – at nominal heat output – there may be some odor development and the varnish has not yet hardened.

Making a fire
For the correct and safe operation of your stove please pay attention to the chimney developing the necessary feed pressure. This must especially be considered before the initial operation (or e.g. after the summer heating break) and during the mid-season heating periods (e.g. at the strong wind, etc.). If there is not enough feed pressure, please light only some paper or small kindling first, in order to “warm up” the stove and the chimney. The air inlet must not be covered or closed.

Clean the grate, and empty the ash drawer if necessary (watch out for ambers!)!
Position the lever for the combustion air to the open (“AUF”) position (see fig. 2 and 4).

Place 2-3 logs (approx. 1,2 kg in total) crossways in the combustion chamber (1) with sufficient distance from each other (min. 2 cm), on top of that place some softwood chippings (approx. 0,5 kg) (2) and some ignition aid and light. (3) (see fig. 3)

Close the door!
We recommend letting the first load burn down without changing the air lever position. As soon as no visible flames are left (only embers in the combustion chamber), you can put another load of logs (approx. 1,7 kg) in the combustion chamber if desired. (see fig. 5). When reloading the stove please repeat the procedure as mentioned under “first lighting”: air lever top position (= open), open the door carefully, place logs, and close the door.

After a few minutes, when the logs burn well on all sides (bright, high flames), you can adjust the heat output with the air lever (lever right = maximum heat output), the flames should be yellow and never look blueish or have black tips (otherwise add more air) – see fig. 4. Never close air supply completely during operation. (danger of flash-fire!)
The stove door may be opened only for refueling or disposing of ashes and is to be closed again afterward.

Heating in-between seasons
If you heat the stove in between seasons when the outside temperatures are higher, the flue gases may not be able to escape completely and this may lead to disturbances in the chimney draught, especially if the temperatures are rising suddenly. The stove has to be charged with less wood then and the primary air has to be increased so that the wood can burn down faster (with visible flames) and thus the chimney draught can stabilize.

Chimney fire
A chimney fire may occur, due to sooting and deposits in the chimney, if improved or humid fuel is used. In case of a chimney fire close all air inlets on the fireplace/chimney immediately and call the fire brigade. Please have an expert inspect your chimney for cracks and air-tightness after the burning out of the chimney.

THE MOST IMPORTANT SPARES—OVERVIEW

Keramott

Keramott numbering = installation instructions!

Gaskets

Other parts

Accessories

You can obtain floor plates of glass or steel or care products from your certified dealer.

Attention:
Please do not store inflammable objects in the Kylie Xtra bottom storage!

IMPORTANT:
Have defective parts been replaced by your certified dealer? This will guarantee that your stove functions properly and safely.

The fireplace must not be altered.

Maintenance

To clean the glass, please use a specialized product such as Thermohit glass cleaner. Lacquered surfaces are to be cleaned only with a cloth (maybe damp). Special cleaning agents should also be used for stainless steel surfaces. Only gaskets in good order ensure the proper function of your stove!

Cleaning
The stove, flue outlets, and smoke pipes should be cleaned and inspected for deposits every year – if necessary more often, e.g. after the cleaning of the chimney. The chimney also has to be cleaned regularly by the chimney sweeper. Your chimneysweeper will inform you of the necessary inspection intervals. An expert should inspect the stove annually.

SPECIAL FEATURES KYLIE XTRA

Xtra heat storing technology
The model KYLIE XTRA has been equipped with unique Xtra heat-storing technology. This technology is based on the patented Heat Memory System, but also on the special flue gas guidance and the convection air which can be regulated or shut off completely. Consequently, a fast heating system is being combined with extraordinarily efficient heat storage.

The convection air can be regulated according to demand with the attached lever (see picture). The more the convection air outlets of the top plate are open, the faster heat but less heat storage can be reached. A closed top plate will however lead to slow heat and longer heat storage.

Our hint: while the fire still burns let the convection air outlets open; close them after the fire has burnt down in order to reach a steady heat emission.

Operation with external air supply

KYLIE XTRA can be operated with an external air connection. If the combustion air is being supplied directly to the furnace by an air-tight pipe including a closing mechanism from the outside, then the stove may be used in residential properties with mechanical ventilation.

If the stove in being used like that, a multiple stove installation on the same chimney is forbidden.
