Eureka The Eureka Cooker Installation Instructions Manual

• Smoke entering the room from the firebox when the door is open may be caused by

• Insufficient length of flue (Flue to be 4500mm minimum from underneath base of heater to underside of cowl)
– Increase height of flue.

• Flue Downdraught
– Consult dealer or increase height of flue.

• Creosote Build up in flue
– Remove cowl and clean flue as per cleaning instructions. Check moisture content of wood.

• Excessive ash build up

Some woods will give large amounts of ash despite how you run the heater. Others will give you very little. Use the
wood which is most convenient for you as long as it is dry. After a period of time you will get to know when to
empty your unit. Always leave 12mm of ash in the bottom of your heater. Bark will give you excessive ash. Try not to
burn it.
If you are burning wood that gives you charcoal, you may find that after running the heater say for 8 hours at
maximum burn rate, the charcoal builds up excessively. Overnight burn will reduce this charcoal back to a fine ash. If
you are not ready to shutdown for overnight burn when you next fuel the stove, load the stove with only one piece
of wood and lay it across the firebox on top of the charcoal. Open the air control wide open and you will find the
charcoal will burn down with the one piece of wood. Repeat the process until the ash level is significantly reduced.

Troubleshooting

!

WARNING

NEVER OPERATE THE COOKER WITH THE DOOR LOOSE AND NOT AIR TIGHT.
OVERFIRING COULD RESULT IN DETRIMENTAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE
FIREBOX.

• Air Control Jamming

There are three bolts holding the air slide control in place. Undo them and remove the air slide. Wipe any ash or dust that
may have accumulated on the back of the air slide or on the face of the heater. If any burrs have developed on the back
of the air slide or on the face of the heater, rub them off with fine wet and dry sand paper till you have a smooth surface
and edges. Replace the air slide and make sure the washers and spacers are on the bolts when you screw the bolts back
into the face of the heater. Do not apply any type of lubricant to the air slide whatsoever as this will attract dust and
make the slide stick.

• No Overnight Burn

Remove the air slide as per air control jamming and check that the air slide is hard against the face of the heater. If it is
loose, tighten up the bolts holding the air slide to the face of the heater. Do not overtighten.
Check that the door rope has an even indentation from the sealing strip, which is on the face of the firebox. If it is uneven
and it appears as though air could leak through the seal, adjust the thickness of the door rope to suit. Stretch the rope to
make it thinner where the indentation is the heaviest and bunch up the excess where the indentation is smaller.
Check the four bolts that hold the glass retainer in position. If loose tighten. Do not overtighten.
The door may become loose through the door seal shrinking. To tighten the door, open the door and look at the inside of
the door catch.
(a) Unscrew Allen key screw in door handle shaft.
(b) Rotate door handle anti-clockwise (when looking from front of heater). This will tighten door rope seal.

1 turn = approx. 1mm.
(c) Close door and lock.
(d) Check for seal around door opening.
(e) Replace Allen key screw.
(f) Check that roll pin is central in shaft.
When closing the door you should now feel firm resistance when the roll pin comes into contact with the catch.
Note: Not all woods will last overnight.

WARNING

Your cooker is coated with the best available heat resistant paint. Even though
the paint has been baked after application, it may require further temperature
curing. It may, if you overfire the heater on its first fire, discolour. For your first
two or three firings, never exceed medium air setting. Do not wipe the heater
while paint is curing. After the paint has cured the only maintenance required to
maintain the heaters finish is to wipe it with a soft cloth. Do not use any
commercial cleaners or solvents on the paint finish.

We are proud of the presentation of our products. If at any time you need to
freshen up the paint finish, your local dealer has touch up paint available for
purchase. You may even change the colour of your cooker if you wish.

If you have any enquires, please contact the dealer from whom you purchased your heater:

Safety Warnings

!

WARNING

Leaving Door Open

As stated previously in relation to leaving door open 25mm to encourage the fire
to pick up at a faster rate. Your heater has been tested to ensure that no
structural damage can take place if the door is inadvertently left open. However
your paint finish can be damaged if the door is left open for a long period with a
full firebox of fuel with the fan off. Closely supervise your heater while the door is
left open.

Closing the Door

Always ensure that before you close your door there is no wood protruding
beyond the front of the firebox opening. Do not use the door glass as a ’battering
ram’ to push the wood back into the firebox. Damage to the glass by such
impact is not covered by your warranty.
