KENT KWF295-6934 Manuals

Barker II Model No. KWF295-6934 With Wetback: KWF295-6935 USER GUIDELINES AND WARRANTY Thank you for purchasing a Kent wood fire. Used correctly it will provide you with many years of warmth in your home. Kent wood fires have been the main source of heating for many Kiwi homes, with nearly 400,000 installed. Controlling the Barker II: On initial light up, the presence of smoke may be noticed. This is normal and will dissipate quickly. DO NOT BURN YOUR HEATER TOO QUICKLY TO BEGIN WITH. Allow several small fires to build up a layer of ash in the heater, and cure the paint before using maximum power. The Barker II requires up to 40 cu.m/h of fresh air for burning, and this must come from outside the house. A normal house will allow enough air in through incidental openings to satisfy this. We recommend that a source of air be located near the heater for best performance. This can be simply a window that is left ajar while the heater is in use. If this is not possible, and the house is particularly air-tight, a vent may need to be installed next to the heater to provide the air required. Lack of air will lead to a heater that is hard to light and get going, or in bad cases, to smoke spilling back into the room. This situation can also lead to excessive carbon monoxide levels through incomplete combustion. There is only one control on the Barker II. This is the air control, on the left hand side above the door. This adjusts the amount of air that enters the heater. Pushing in the control knob reduces the amount of air entering the heater and reduces the burning rate. While an air control is fitted, it is recommended that, for the cleanest operation, this is left fully open and the amount of heat generated is adjusted by the amount of fuel that is used. The heater burns cleanest when it is running at a high rate. Reducing the air inlet setting drops the internal temperature of the fire, which can lead to excessive smoke and emissions being produced. This model is designed for easy lighting, simple operation and controllable heat outputs.
