Warranty, guarantee and liability
3 Warranty, guarantee and liability
Requirements
We can only accept liability for the function of our
products if they are correctly installed and operated.
This is only possible if the conditions below are
complied with.
Maximum of 2,000 hours at full load per year
The boiler described in this user manual may only be
used for heating and producing hot water , with no more
than 2,000 full-load hours annually.
Installation in a dry room
For set-up, a dry room is required. In particular, only
condensation dryers may be used as clothes dryers in
the same room.
Observe local building and fire safety regulations
Local building and fire safety regulations must be
observed.
Connecting pipe to chimney
The connecting pipe to the chimney must be a
moisture-resistant stainless steel flue pipe with
maximum diameter of 120 mm and at least 3 cm of
insulation. For lengths over 2 m, correspondingly more
insulation is needed.
Suitable fuel
The boiler is suitable for use with wood pellets
according to ISO 17225-2:2014, quality class A1,
ENplus-A1. Operation with unsuitable fuels, in
particular those containing halogens (chlorine) or highslag pellets such as from grain waste, is not permitted.
Ensure supply air is free from aggressive
substances
The air supplied to the boiler must be free from
aggressive substances such as chlorine and fluorine
from solvents, cleaning agents, adhesives and propellants, or ammonia from cleaning agents, to prevent
corrosion of the boiler and chimney.
Only fill with softened water
Water is the intended heat-transfer medium. For
special antifreeze requirements, up to 30% glycol may
be added. Softened water is required for the initial fillup of the heating system and for refilling after repairs.
Addition of hard water should be kept to a minimum to
limit limescale build-up in the boiler.
For the initial fill-up, the lime content of all water in the
heating system may not exceed the value of 10,000
lt°dH (system volume in litres multiplied by the
hardness in degrees of German hardness).
pH value between 8 and 9
The pH value of water used to fill the heating system
must be between 8 and 9.
Use a sufficient number of shut-off valves
Set enough shut-off valves to avoid bleeding large
amounts of water during repairs. Any leaks in the
system must be repaired at once.
Sufficiently large expansion tank
To protect against air suction if the system cools off, a
specialist must design a sufficiently large expansion
tank. The 18-litre expansion tank built into the boiler is
sufficient for typical underfloor or radiat or systems. If
there is a buffer storage tank, an additional expansion
tank will be needed.
Sufficient air venting must also be ensured. Open
expansion tanks or underfloor heating with permeable
piping also have a high air intake, resulting in aboveaverage boiler corrosion. Corrosion damage to the
boiler due to insufficient air venting or high air intake is
excluded from warranty, guarantee and liability.
Sufficient power
Continuous operation with heat consumption below
the minimum specified on the type plate is only
permitted with a buffer storage tank of sufficient size.
Expanding the control system
Only components provided by us may be used for
expanding the control system, unless these are
generally available standard devices, such as thermostats.
Regularly perform cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning and maintaining the product is essential. The
required steps and intervals are either contained in this
documentation or included as a separate document.
Repairs
Repairs are only permitted using spare parts provided
by us. The only exceptions are commonly available
standard parts such as electrical fuses or fastening
Warranty, guarantee and liability

materials, provided such parts have the necessary
features and do not compromise the safety of the
system.
Proper installation
The installing contractor is liable for proper installation
according to the corresponding installation instructions
and the relevant rules and safety regulations. If you as
customer have installed the heating system partly or
entirely without relevant training and in particular
without up-to-date practical experience, without having
the installation checked by a trained and responsible
expert, we exclude defects in our delivery and consequential damages resulting from this cause from our
warranty, guarantee and liability.
Repair of defects
For repairs of defects carried out by the customer or by
a third party, ETA shall only bear the costs or remain
obligated by warranty if this work was approved in
writing in advance by the customer service of ETA
Heiztechnik GmbH.
No tampering with boiler safety devices
Boiler safety devices such as those mentioned below
must not be tampered with: Temp erature monitoring
and control devices, safety temperature limiters, safety
valves and thermal discharge valves.

How the boiler works
A suction motor sucks the pellets from the storage
room, which may be up to 20 m away, into the pellet
bin on the boiler. The p ellet bin has a capacity of up to
30 kg. Fill-up of the pellet bin takes place once a day
at a time that can be set as needed. Only on very cold
days might it be necessary for pellets to be fed to the
boiler a second time.
The metering screw meters the pellets as they are
conveyed from the pellet bin, to avoid overfilling the
rotary valve. This way, pellets do not need to be cut.
This protects the sealing edges and enables quiet
operation. The rotary valve separates the pellet bin
from the combustion chamber to prevent back burning
in the pellet bin. The stoker scre w pushes the pellets
into the combustion chamber.
The pellets are burned on the movable rotating grate.
Automated cleaning takes place during breaks in
combustion. The grate is rotated against a comb to
clean the air gaps.
On a restart, the pellets are ignited with a ceramic
igniter.
Beneath the grate and the heat exchanger, two ash
screws convey the ash to a detachable ash box. This
is large enough that it only needs to be emptied once
or twice in each heating season.
In an uncooled, hot combustion chamber made of
stainless steel, hot and complete burnout occurs
before the combustion gases in the heat exchanger
transfer the heat to the boiler water. Movement of the
turbulators cleans the heat exchangers automatically
once a day.
For heating systems without a buffer storage tank, all
the devices needed for safe operation, such as the
pump, flow mixing valve, diverter valve for hot wat er
charging, expansion tank, boiler air vent and safety
valve, are already installed in the boiler. If needed, a
second heating circuit can be installed in the boiler.
The lambda probe, in combination w ith the variablespeed draught fan, ensures high efficiency.
The boiler can be operated with an external air supply
by means of a heat-resistant air supply duct.

Emission measurement
5 Emission measurement
Why measure emissions?
It is a requirement for the carbon monoxide (CO)
emissions of every boiler to be measured periodically.
In Germany, this periodic measurement must also
include a dust measurement.
There are several aspects of this th at co uld go wr on g,
resulting in incorrect measurements even though the
boiler fully and consistently complies with these limits
when operating in accordance with the relevant
standards.
Notes on emission measurement in Germany
In accordance with the provisions of "BImSchV,"
lower limit values for the emission measurement
in Germany apply to all new heating system installations starting 1 January 2015. Notes on compliance
are found under 8 "Low-emission operation".
Clean the boiler 3 - 5 days before the emission
measurement
Thoroughly clean the boiler and flue pipe 3 - 5 days
before the emission measurement. Once this is
complete, heating can resume as usual.
This delay between cleaning and measurement
is necessary in order to allow dust disturbed
during cleaning to settle again. If the chimney sweep
measures unsettled dust, the dust reading will be
higher than normal and thus inaccurate.
CAUTION!
Under no circumstances clean the boiler and flue
pipe on the day of the measurement!
Ensure sufficient heat consumption
Open all radiator valves and turn radiator thermost ats
to maximum.
Allowing the boiler to cool
Switch off the boiler 3 to 5 hours before the emission
measurement by pressing the [On/Off] button.
This allows the boiler to cool, and the additional water
in the boiler is used to discharge heat during the
emission measurement.
Setting the duration of the emission measurement
The duration of the emission measurement is
factory-set to 30 minutes. If necessary, this can
be increased with the [Service] access level.
With the [Service] access level, change to the text
menu of the [Boiler] function block. You can adjust the
duration as follows:
Select the parameter and press [Change].
A settings screen opens.
Select the desired duration and press [Accept] to save.
Emission measurement at full load
Before measurement at full load, the bo iler must
be operating in a heating phase for at least
15 minutes, and the boiler temperature must be over
65°C.
To start the emission measurement, press the [MEAS.]
button in the boiler overview scre en. As confirm ation, the button lights up green and the countdown in
the button commences.
The boiler runs at full load for the set time. The control
system ensures that sufficient heat is channelled to the
heating circuits and the hot water tank.
The emission measurement may only take place
once the boiler has been operating in this way for
at least 10 minutes (i.e. more than 10 minutes of the
countdown have elapsed).

Selecting emission measurement for full load or
partial load
National regulations may stipulate emission
measurement at partial load. If this is the case,
you must set the required output range before
commencing the emission measurement.
With the [Service] access level, change to the text
menu of the [Boiler] function block. You can adjust the
output range as follows:
Select the parameter and press [Change].
A settings screen opens:
Select the desired output range and pres s [Accept] to
save.
If you select [Combination], measurements are
performed consecutively at full load and partial
load.
Emission measurement at partial load
Switch on the boiler by pressing the [On/Off]
button.
If you are performing the measurement at partial load,
when you press the [MEAS.] button a message
appears telling you that the boiler must be in a heating
phase for at least 30 minutes before the emission
measurement.
When you confirm this message, the boiler automatically starts heating. The countdown in the [MEAS.]
button stops.
Once the boiler is ready for the emission mea-
surement, another message appears on the
screen. When you confirm this message, the
countdown in the [MEAS.] button starts and the boiler
runs at partial load for the set duration. The control
system ensures that sufficient heat is channelled to the
heating circuits and the hot water tank.
The emission measurement can only take place
once the boiler has been operating in this way for
at least 10 minutes (i.e. more than 10 minutes of the
countdown have elapsed).
After the measurement
Switch the boiler back to normal mode by pressing
[MEAS.]. As confirmation, the light in the button goes
off.
If you do not press this button, the boiler will au-
tomatically switch back to normal mode aft er the
set time (factory setting 30 minutes).

6.1 General information
Operation only by trained personnel
The product may be operated by trained adults only.
Training may be provided by the heating technician or
our customer service. Please read the associated documentation carefully in order to avoid errors during
operation and maintenance.
The product may not be operated by persons with
impaired physical, sensory, or mental capabilities.
Persons who lack experience and knowledge as well
as children may not operate, clean, or maintain the
product.
Keep children away from the pellet store
Children must be kept away from the pellet store. It is
a good idea to lock the door to the pellet store. The
door handle on the inside of the pellet store must not
be removed. It must be possible to open the door from
the inside in an emergency.
Keep fire extinguishers in a clearly visible location
In Austria, the minimum requirement is an ABC
powder extinguisher with 6 kg. An AB foam extinguisher with 9 litres, which produces less damage when
used, is preferable. The fire extinguisher should be
kept outside the boiler room, visible and easily
accessible.
In Germany and Switzerland, fire extinguishers are not
required for heating systems in private residences. In
spite of this, we recommend having one in the house.
Storage of ash
The ash must be kept in non-flammable containers
with covers. Do not put hot ash in the waste bin due to
risk of fire.
Emergency stop switch for the boiler
In Austria, heating systems installed in boiler rooms
must be equipped with an emergency stop switch. The
switch must be situated immediately outside the
access door and clearly marked. For boiler rooms that
are only accessible from outdoors, these switches may
also be within the boiler rooms, immediately next to the
access doors.
A single-pole emergency stop switch is integrated into
the boiler's safety chain. When actuated, it interrupts
the supply of combustion air and fuel. The pumps
continue running to cool the boiler.
6.2 Safety devices
Pump safety run, automatic heat dissipation at
overtemperature
If the boiler temperature exceeds 90°C (factory setting)
for any reason, the pump safety run will start. All
heating pumps and boiler pumps that are connected to
the boiler control system are switched on to dissipate
heat from the boiler.
This action prevents the boiler temperature from rising
further and triggering further safety devices such as
the safety temperature limiter. The pump safety run is
displayed on the screen as operating mode [Heat dissipation].
The heat dissipation is limited by the maximum
flow temperature set in the heating circuits and
the target hot water temperature.
Safety shutdown by safety temperature limiter
For additional safety against boiler overheating, a
safety temperature limiter is built into the boiler. When
a boiler temperature of 105°C (tolerance 100 to 106°C)
is reached, the power supply to the draught fan and the
fuel intake is interrupted. If the boiler temperature
decreases below 70°C again, the safety temperature
limiter can be manually released for a restart of the
boiler.
Safety valve against overpressure
A safety valve with 3 bar opening pressure has already
been installed on the boiler at the factory. If solar or
other heat sources provide energy to the buffer
storage tank via a heat exchanger, a safety valve
(3 bar maximum) is also required on the buffe r storage
tank.
Normally an expansion tank that is too small or
defective, or blocked heating lines, are the cause for
activation of the safety valve. T he safety valve mu st be
on the boiler at the top of the flow in order to discharge
heat in an emergency. Only this way can it reduce
pressure by blowing out hot water and steam.
DANGER!
Safety valve outlet
The safety valve outlet must be directed to the ground
in a pipe so nobody is endangered by hot water or
steam.
The safety valve outlet must be directed to the
sewer via a clearly visible, open route (siphon
funnel) so that malfunctions, especially a failure of
Safety Safety devices
15
the safety valve to close, can be recognised. If no
sewer connection is available, the outlet must be
directed to the ground in a pipe.

this. If the boiler is switched off or on standby, deashing can be started straight away.
[MEAS.] button
This button switches the boiler to full load for a
period of 30 minutes for the emission measure-
ment. The heat is discharged into the heating
circuits and the hot water tank. When the 30 minutes
are over, the boiler automatically switches back to
normal mode.
[FILLTIME] button
This button sets the daily time for complete
refilling of the pellet bin on the boiler, if pellets
have been used up. This prevents refilling
during the night. This time applies for every day of the
week.
Boiler pellet stock
The current stock of pellets in the boiler is
displayed. If this stock drops below the
minimum level of 5 kg, the suction motor starts
and refills the pellet bin.

soon as it supplies heat to the hot water tank or
buffer.
The displayed temperature is the flow
temperature to the tank.
Boiler functionality
Press the [On/Off] button to switch the boiler on
and off. When the boiler is switched on, heating starts
as soon as there is demand from the connected
consumers (either the buffer , heating circuits or the hot
water tank).
Operation Function block [Boiler]
23
The control system calculates the required boiler
temperature based on the flow temperatures
demanded by the consumers. When the boiler is
supplying heat to the consumers, the "Heating coil"
or "Tank" symbols appear in the overview screen.
The minimum running time for the boiler heating phase
is 30 minutes. If there is no more demand from the
consumers after that time, the boiler ends the heating
phase with a burnout. The operating mode changes to
[Ember burnout] and then to [Ready].
The pellet bin on the boiler is automatically topped up
as soon as the stock of pellets falls below a minimum
limit. The [FILLTIME] button sets the daily time for
complete refilling of the pellet bin on the boiler if pellets
have been used up, see page 24.
Boiler de-ashing takes place within a configurable
interval, see page 25.
De-ashing can also be disabled for a time, e.g. to
prevent the boiler from de-ashing at night, see
page 25.
After a certain, configurable quantity of pellets has
been consumed, the control system issues a reminder
to empty the ash box. If the ash box is only partially full,
this quantity can be increased, see page25.
