5. Instruccions de funcionament

5.1. Tipus de combustible

The Prity K1 Optima is designed to burn dry wood or wood briquettes. Using unseasoned wood or other materials can lead to inefficient burning, creosote buildup, and potential damage to the stove or chimney.

5.2. First Burn (Curing)

During the first few burns, the paint on the stove will cure, emitting an odor and possibly some smoke. Ensure the area is well-ventilated. Start with small fires and gradually increase the heat over several days to allow the paint to cure properly. Avoid very hot fires during this period.

5.3. Lighting the Stove

  1. Open the front air supply flap completely.
  2. Col·loqueu paper arrugat o encenedors a la reixa de ferro colat.
  3. Place a small amount of kindling (small, dry wood pieces) on top of the paper/firelighters.
  4. Enceneu el paper/encenedors.
  5. Once the kindling is burning well, add larger pieces of dry wood.
  6. Tanqueu la porta de la cambra de combustió.

5.4. Air Control and Flame Intensity

  • Front Air Supply Flap: This controls the primary air for combustion. Opening it increases the burn rate and heat output, while closing it reduces them. For starting a fire, keep it fully open. Once the fire is established, adjust it to achieve the desired burn rate.
  • Escapament Damper: This mechanism regulates the flow of flue gases and can be used to fine-tune the flame intensity. Adjust it carefully to optimize combustion and heat output.

5.5. Avituallament

When the fire dies down and only embers remain, carefully open the door, add more dry wood, and then close the door. Adjust the air controls as needed to re-establish the fire.

6. Manteniment

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your Prity K1 Optima wood stove.

6.1. Eliminació de cendres

Empty the ash pan regularly, ideally before each use or when it is full. Ensure the ashes are completely cold before disposing of them in a non-combustible container.

6.2. Cleaning the Ceramic Glass

Clean the ceramic glass when the stove is cold. Use a damp cloth and a non-abrasive glass cleaner specifically designed for wood stove glass. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads that can scratch the glass.

6.3. Chimney and Flue Pipe Cleaning

Have your chimney and flue pipe inspected and cleaned by a certified chimney sweep at least once a year, or more frequently if you burn the stove heavily. This prevents creosote buildup, which can lead to chimney fires.

6.4. Inspecció General

Periodically check the door seals for wear and tear. Replace them if they are cracked or hardened to maintain airtightness and efficiency. Inspect all components for any signs of damage or corrosion.
