INTRODUCTION

Dear Customer, Our boilers are designed and built in compliance with the European regulation EN 303-5 (manual or automatic loading solid fuel boilers). They also meet the essential requirements of directive 2006/95/EC (Low Voltage) and directive 2004/108/EC (Electromagnetic Compatibility).

To get the best performance out of your boiler, we suggest you read the instructions in this manual carefully before starting it up for the rst time.

This installation guide forms an integral part of the product: ensure that the manual is always supplied with the device, even if it changes owner. If the manual is lost, you can request another copy from the local Technical Dept. or download it directly from the company website. All local regulations, including those referring to national and European standards, must be observed when installing the appliance. In Italy, for the installation of systems with biomass below 35KW, refer to ministerial decree D.M. 37/08, and the qualied installation technician with the appropriate requisites must issue a certicate of compliance for the system installed.

The instructions in this chapter refer explicitly to the Italian installation regulation UNI 10683. In any case, always observe the regulations in force in the country of installation.

PELLETS

Wood pellets are manufactured by hot-extruding compressed sawdust which is produced during the working of natural dried wood. The compactness of the material is guaranteed by the lignin contained in the wood itself and allows pellets to be produced without glue or binders. The market oers dierent types of pellets with characteristics that vary according to the wood mixtures used. The diameter varies between 6 and 8 mm, with a standard length ranging from 3 to 40 mm. A good quality pellet has a density of between 600 and 750 or more kg/metres cubed and a moisture content that accounts for 5 to 8% of its weight. Pellets have technical advantages besides being an ecological fuel, as the wood residue is used completely, thereby achieving cleaner combustion than that of fossil fuels. While good-quality wood has a caloric value of 4.4 kW/kg (15% moisture, after about 18 months of seasoning), whereas that of pellets is around 4.9 kW/kg. To ensure good combustion, the pellets must be stored in a dry place and protected from dirt. Pellets are usually supplied in 15 kg bags, therefore, storing them is very convenient.

Good quality pellets guarantee good combustion, thereby decreasing harmful emissions into the atmosphere.

The poorer the quality of the fuel, the more often the internal parts of the brazier and combustion chamber must be cleaned.

The main quality certications for pellets currently available on the European market guarantee that the fuel complies with class A1/A2 according to ISO 17225-2 (ex EN 14961). These certications include, for example, ENPlus, DINplus, Ö-Norm M7135, and in particular, guarantee the following characteristics:

• caloric value: 4.6 ÷ 5.3 kWh/kg.

• Water content: ≤ 10% of the weight.

• Percentage of ash: max 1.2% of the weight (A1 less than 0.7%).

• Diameter: 6±1/8±1 mm.

• Length: 3÷40 mm.

• Content: 100% untreated wood without the addition of binding agents (max 5% bark).

• Packaging: in sacks made from ecologically compatible or biologically decomposing material.

The company strongly recommends using certied fuel for its products (ENplus, DINplus, Ö-Norm M7135). Poor quality pellets or others that do not comply with the characteristics specied previously may compromise the operation of your product and can therefore make the guarantee and product liability invalid.

PRECAUTIONS REGARDING INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT! Product installation and assembly must be carried out by qualied personnel.

The product must be installed in a suitable place that allows easy access for it to be opened regularly and for routine maintenance to be performed. The installation area must be:

• suitable to enable the appliance to operate correctly.

• Equipped with an adequate smoke expulsion system.

• Equipped with adequate ventilation from outside.

• Equipped with 230V 50 Hz power supply with an EC compliant earthing system.

IMPORTANT! The product must be connected to a chimney that expels the smoke at the highest point of the building. The chimney must be of suitable dimensions, caulked, and tted with a condensation collector for collecting the water vapour that can form due to the high performance of the appliance and the consequently low temperatures of the outgoing fumes. The chimney must comply with regulations in force. The holes of the external air inlet and the smoke outlet pipe must be drilled before positioning the product.

THE OPERATING AREA

The boiler must be installed indoors in an area well protected from atmospheric elements. The surface on which it stands and/or support points must have sucient load bearing capacity to support the total weight of the appliance, its accessories and covers. To ensure the appliance works well, we recommend installing the boiler detached from any walls or furniture, and with good air circulation to allow eective ventilation for the appliance. The product should be located in an area that allows sucient space for normal use and maintenance operations.

The volume of the room should be no less than 15 m

It is essential that an adequate outdoor air intake is provided that supplies the air for combustion needed for the product to function correctly. These air inlets must be arranged so that it is impossible for them to be obstructed. Protect the inlets with grilles, metal mesh, etc., without reducing the net cross-section.

Remember that the ventilation grilles always have the useful cross-section in cm

indicated on one side. When choosing the grille and size of the inlet, check that the useful cross-section of the grille is larger or equal to the section required for product operation.

The ow of air between the outside and the room of installation may be direct, through an inlet in an external wall of the building; or indirect, through the intake of air from rooms adjoining and connecting permanently with the room of installation. Adjoining areas may not include sleeping areas, garages or general areas that present a re hazard. For air ducts, up to 3m increase the cross-section by approximately 5%, while for ducts that run for longer increase it by 15%.

IMPORTANT! The air ow can also be drawn from an adjoining room to that of the room where the product is installed, provided the air can ow freely through permanent openings to the outside; avoid connection to sleeping areas and rooms that present a re hazard in general.

Page 13

2-INSTALLATION

POSITIONING AND RESTRICTIONS

In the case of simultaneous installation with other heating appliances, provide appropriate air inlets for each one (according to the instructions of each product).

Installation of the product is not permitted:

• in rooms where there are liquid fuel appliances with continuous or intermittent operation that draw the

combustion air from the room they are installed in;

• in rooms where there are B-type gas heating appliances, with or without domestic hot water production and

interconnecting rooms;

• in rooms in which the decrease in pressure during use, as measured between the pressure outside and the

pressure in the room, is greater than 4 Pa. The product may not be installed in rooms used as sleeping areas, bathrooms, garages or in rooms that present a re hazard in general.

BOILER ROOM

Check that the room meets the requirements and provisions of the standards in force. There must also be a ow of at least enough air in the room for normal combustion. Vents must be installed in the walls of the room that meet the following requirements:

• Increase the cross-section by at least 6 cm

for each 1 kW (859.64kcal/h) The minimum cross-section of the opening must not,

however, measure less than 100 cm

. The cross-section can be calculated using the following relations:

S = K * Q ≥ 100 cm

Where “S” is in cm2, “Q” in kW, “K” = 6 cm2/kW

• The opening must be located at the base of an external wall, preferably opposite the one with the outlet for combusted gases.

Heat-sensitive or ammable objects cannot be stored near the product; keep such objects at a minimum distance of 80 cm from the outermost point of the product.

CONNECTION OF THE SMOKE EXHAUST DUCT

When making the hole for the passage of the smoke discharge pipe, it is necessary to take into account the possible presence of ammable materials. If the hole has to be in a wall made of wood or other thermolabile material, THE INSTALLER MUST rst set up the relative wall tting (diameter 13 cm minimum) and insulate the pipe of the product passes with appropriate insulating material (1.3 - 5 cm thick with minimum heat conductivity of 0.07 W/m°K). The same minimum distance must be applied if the pipe of the product must pass through vertical or horizontal sections near the thermolabile wall. It is recommended to use an insulated double-wall pipe in external sections in order to prevent condensation from forming. The combustion chamber works in negative pressure.

FOREWORD

The Chimney Flue chapter has been drawn up with reference to the provisions of European Standards (EN13384 - EN1443 - EN1856 EN1457). The chapter provides indications for installing an ecient and correct ue but is under no circumstances to substitute the regulations in force, which the qualied technician must be in possession of. Check with local authorities whether there are any restrictive regulations in force regarding the intake of air for combustion, the smoke extraction system, the ue or the chimneypot. The company declines all liability relating to the poor functioning of the boiler if this is due to the use of an insuciently sized ue in violation of the Standards in force.

FLUE

Have the eciency of the ue checked by an authorised technician. The ue or chimney is vital to the correct functioning of a forced draft solid fuel heating appliance, given that boilers with high performance have cooler fumes with consequently weaker draft and the possible formation of condensation. It is therefore essential that the ue meets all construction standards and is always maintained in perfect condition. A ue that serves a pellet/wood fuelled appliance must be at least category T400 (or greater if the appliance requires so) and resistant to soot res. Smoke must be extracted through a single ue made of insulated steel (A) or an existing ue that complies with the intended use (B). A simple air shaft made of cement must be suitably lined. In either case, ensure to include an inspection cap (AT) or inspection door (AP) and a suitable device for collecting condensation - FIG.1. It is prohibited to connect more than one wood/pellet (*) or any other type of appliance (vent cowling...) to the same ue.

(*) unless there are national derogations (for instance in Germany), which under suitable conditions allow for the installation of several appliances in the same replace. In any case, strictly follow the product/installation requirements of the relative regulations/legislation in force in that country

FIGURE 1 - FLUE

TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS

Flues serving a pellet/wood fuelled appliance must meet the following requirements:

• made of materials that are suciently resistant to mechanical stress, heat, the action of the products of combustion and their vapours.

• made of materials that are impermeable to fumes, condensation, be thermally insulated and resistant to normal mechanical stress over time

• go in a vertical direction and deviate no more than 45° from the vertical axis and be free of choke points

• be suited to the specic operating conditions of the product and have CE marking (EN1856-1, EN1443).

• Be of the correct size to suit the draft/smoke extraction requirements necessary for the product to work properly (EN13384-1)

• Be suitably caulked externally to avoid condensation and reduce the cooling of the smoke.

• Be at least category T400 (or greater if the appliance requires) and resistant to soot res.

We recommend in particular to check on the data tags of the ue (in accordance with EN1856-1, EN1443) the safety distances that must be respected in presence of passing combustible materials and the type of insulating material to be used. These indications must be followed rigorously to avoid serious harm to personnel and surrounding infrastructure. The chimney opening must be in the same room as the appliance, or at most in the adjoining room, and have a soot and condensation collection chamber beneath the opening, and be accessible via a sealed metal hatch. Smoke must be extracted through a single ue (see g. 3) with insulated steel tubes (A) or though an existing ue that complies with the intended use (B). A simple air shaft in cement must be suitably lined. In either case, ensure to include an inspection cap (AT) and/or inspection door (AP) and a suitable device for collecting condensation - FIG.1. It is prohibited to connect more than one wood/pellet or any other type of appliance (vent cowling...) to the same ue.

SIZING

The draught of a ue depends on its height. Check the draught with the values indicated in the technical characteristics. The minimum height of the chimney is 3.5 metres.

The interior cross-section of the ue can be round (best), square or rectangular (the ratio between the internal sides must be ≤1.5) with the sides joined with a minimum radius of 20 mm. The dimension of the cross-section must be a minimum Ø150mm.

The cross-sections/lengths of the chimneys shown in the technical data tables are indications for correct installation. Any alternative congurations must be correctly sized in accordance with the general method of calculation of UNI EN13384-1 or other proven eciency methods.

Below is a list of some ues available on the market:

AISI 316 steel chimney with double chamber insulated with ceramic bre or equivalent resistant up to 400°C.

Refractory chimney with double insulated chamber and external lightweight concrete cladding with cellular material such as clay.

Traditional square-section clay chimney with insulating empty inserts.

Avoid products with an internal rectangular section where the larger side is 1.5 times the smaller side (e.g. 20x40 or 15x30).

Page 18

2-INSTALLATION

MAINTENANCE

The ue must always be kept clean, since the deposit of soot or unburned oils reduces the cross-section reducing the draft and thus compromising the ecient operation of the boiler and, if large build-ups accumulate, they can catch re. The ue and chimneypot must be cleaned and checked by a qualied chimney sweep at least once a year. Once the inspection/maintenance has been performed, request a written report that the system is safe. Failure to perform cleaning jeopardises the system’s safety.

CHIMNEYPOT

The chimneypot is a crucial element for the heating appliance to work properly: we recommend a wind proof chimneypot (A), see Figure 7.

The area of the opening for smoke extraction must be at least double the cross-section of the ue/lined system, and arranged so that smoke extraction is ensured even in strong wind. The chimney must prevent rain, snow or animals from entering the chimney. The height of outow into the atmosphere must be beyond the reux area due to the shape of the roof or any obstacles near the outlet (see Figures 2-3-4-5-6).

CONNECTION TO THE FLUE

The connection between the ue and the appliance must be via a smoke duct that complies with EN 1856-2. The connecting section must extend no more than 4 m horizontally, with a minimum slope of 3% and with a maximum of 3 90% bends (accessible for inspection - do not count the T tting at the appliance outlet). The diameter of the smoke duct must be equal to or greater than that of the outlet of the appliance (Ø 100 mm).

TYPE OF SYSTEM SMOKE DUCT

Minimum vertical length 1.5 metres

Maximum length (with 1 accessible 90° bend)

6.5 metres

Maximum length (with 3 accessible 90° bends)

4.5 metres

Maximum number of accessible 90° bends 3

Horizontal sections (minimum slope 3%)

4 metres

Use smoke ducts with a diameter 100 mm and silicone gaskets or similar gaskets that can withstand the high operating temperatures of the appliance (min. T200 class P1). The use of exible metal hoses made of bre cement or aluminium is forbidden. For direction changes, we always recommend the use of a T tting with an inspection cap ensuring easy access to clean the pipes. Always ensure that the inspection cap is put back in place and sealed hermetically with the relevant seal intact after cleaning. It is prohibited to connect more than one appliance to the same smoke duct, or the discharge from hoods above it. It is forbidden to extract the combustion products directly through the wall, whether into indoor spaces or outdoors. The smoke duct must be at a minimum distance of 400 mm from ammable or heat-sensitive structures.

We especially recommend to check the data tags of the ue for the safety distances that must be observed in presence of combustible materials and the type of insulating material to be used. These indications must be followed rigorously to avoid serious harm to personnel and surrounding infrastructure.

EXAMPLES OF CORRECT INSTALLATION

1. Installation of Ø 150 mm ue with hole for the passage

of the pipe increased by: minimum 100mm around the pipe if next to non ammable parts such as cement, brick, etc.; or minimum 300mm around the pipe (or as required by rating plate) if next to ammable parts such as wood etc. In both cases, install suitable insulation between the ue and the ceiling. Always check and respect the data tags on the ue, in particular the minimum safety distances from combustible materials. The previous rules also apply for holes made in walls.

2. Old ue, minimum tube Ø150mm with the inclusion of an external access door for chimney cleaning.

3. External ue made of insulated stainless steel pipes, i.e. with double walls minimum Ø150mm: all securely mounted to the wall. With windproof chimneypot. See g. 7 type A.

4. Ducting system using T ttings that allow easy access for cleaning without having to remove the pipes

HYDRAULIC CONNECTION

IMPORTANT: The connections depend on the type of System Conguration.

IMPORTANT! If installing the boiler involves another pre-existing system complete with heating equipment (gas boiler, methane boiler, fuel oil boiler, etc.), it is strongly recommended that you contact a qualied operator who subsequently will be responsible for the compliance of the system with the applicable laws in force. The Company will not be held responsible for damage to persons or things in the event of failed or incorrect operation if the aforementioned warnings are not complied with.

IMPORTANT!!! CLEAN THE ENTIRE SYSTEM BEFORE CONNECTING THE BOILER, IN ORDER TO REMOVE ALL RESIDUE AND DEPOSITS. Upstream from the boiler, always install shutters so as to disconnect it from the plumbing system should it be necessary to move it, or when it requires routine and/or special maintenance. Connect the boiler using hoses so that the boiler is not too strictly connected to the system, and to allow slight movements.

IMPORTANT! The connection of the stove to the plumbing system must be carried out ONLY by specialized personnel who are capable of carrying out installation properly, in compliance with current standards in the country of installation. The manufacturer will not be held responsible for damage to persons or things in the event of failed operation if the aforementioned warning is not complied with..

SAFETY VALVE 3 bar

The boiler is protected against overpressures by a safety valve “2” tted on the selected hydraulic kit. The safety valve drain must be connected to a rubber pipe that can withstand a temperature of 110°C (not supplied) and that reaches the outside via an anti-odour syphon. This drain is provided in order to prevent overpressures if the safety valve is opened.

Attention! The manufacturer of the appliance is not liable for any ooding caused by the safety valve being triggered if it has not been joined properly to the outside of the product and to a proper collection and evacuation system.

Page 34

6-HYDRAULIC CONNECTION

CLEANING THE SYSTEM

Install suitable shutters to cut o the tubes from the heating system. In order to protect the heating system from damage caused by corrosion, incrustation or deposit build-up, it is important to clean the appliance before installation, using suitable products, in compliance with Standard UNI 8065 (water treatment of thermal plants for civil use). The use of FERNOX PROTECTOR F1 (available at our authorised centres) product is recommended, this provides long-term protection of heating systems against corrosion and calcium build-up. It prevents the corrosion of the metal parts of the appliance, i.e. the ferrous metals, copper and copper and aluminium alloys. It also reduces the noise produced by the boiler. Refer to the instructions on the product. Cleaning should be performed by a qualied technician. We also recommend the use of FERNOX CLEANER F3 and LEAK SEALER F4, available from our authorised distribution centres. FERNOX F3 is a neutral product for rapid and ecient cleaning of heating appliances. It has been designed to eliminate residues, oily deposits and incrustations from existing appliances of all ages. It can help restore the heating eciency of the boiler and reduce the noise it generates. FERNOX F4 is intended to be used with all heating appliances to seal micro fractures that cause small and inaccessible leaks.

Attention: Failure to clean the thermal system or to use an adequate inhibitor will invalidate the warranty of the appliance and of the other accessories like the pump and valves.

FILLING THE SYSTEM

Fill the system slowly to allow air bubbles to pass through the vent holes of the heating system. For closed circuit heating systems, the lling pressure of the system at cold and the pre-ination pressure of the expansion tank must be the same.

• In open vessel heating systems, direct contact between circulating liquid and air is allowed. During the heating season, the user must check the circulating water level in the expansion tank regularly. The water level in the circulation system must be kept constant. Practical experience shows that a regular check of the water level must be made every 14 days to maintain a relatively constant level. When necessary, the water level must be topped up when the boiler has cooled to room temperature. This is to avoid and damage being caused to the steel body of the boiler due to thermal stress.

• In systems with an open vessel, the water pressure in the boiler must not be less than 0.3 bar when the system is cool.

• The water used for lling the heating system must be decontaminated and not contain air.

Attention! Do not mix heating water with incorrect concentrations of anti-freeze or anti-corrosion substances! This could damage the gaskets and cause noise during operation. The manufacturer denies any liability for harm caused to persons, animals or objects caused by failure to observe these precautions.

After making all the hydraulic connections, pressure-test the seals by lling the boiler.

This must be done with care by doing the following:

• open the air vent valves of the radiators, boiler and system;

• gradually open the lling tap of the system, making sure that any automatic air vent valves in the system work correctly;

• close the vent valves of the radiators as soon as water comes out;

• use the pressure gauge inserted in the system to check that the pressure reaches a value of approximately 1 bar (this only applies to closed vessel systems - refer to any existing local regulations or standards allowing for its installation); for open vessel systems, the water is topped up automatically through the vessel.

• close the lling tap of the system and then open the vent valves of the radiators again to purge any air;

• check the seal of all the connections;

Page 35

6-HYDRAULIC CONNECTION

• after starting up the boiler for the rst time and bringing the system up to temperature, stop the pumps and repeat the air purging procedure;

• let the system cool down and, if necessary, bring the water pressure back to 1 bar (this only applies to closed vessel systems - refer to any existing local regulations or standards allowing for its installation); for open vessel systems, the water is topped up automatically through the vessel itself;

NOTE In systems with a closed vessel, where possible, the water pressure in the heating system must not be lower than 1 bar when the system is at room temperature; if this is not the case, use the tap to ll the system. This operation must be performed when the system is cool. The pressure gauge on the system enables you to read the pressure in the circuit.

During this operation, any air in the system is released from the automatic vent “G” at the top of the body of the boiler. The valve is underneath the front panel, just lift the cover.

To ensure the valve vents, loosen the side cap (see gure) The lling pressure of the system WHEN COLD must be 1 bar. Upon completion of this operation, always close the lling tap.

RELIEF VALVE “G”

Page 36

6-HYDRAULIC CONNECTION

PRESSURE GAUGE

The gauge of the boiler “m” is one of the key tools, which is used to check that appliance is operating smoothly. The pressure gauge of the boiler is used to measure the pressure, i.e. the dierence between the internal pressure and the atmospheric pressure. Generally, the ideal pressure for a boiler is between 1.5 and 2 bar, above or below which malfunctions occur in the heating system or in the supply of domestic hot water. The pressure adjustments are made through the vent valve “G” at the top of the boiler (see instructions on the previous page).

Low boiler pressure

When the pressure of the boiler is too low, and therefore it is indicated on the pressure gauge as below 1.5 bar, the heating does not work well, hot water does not arrive or the boiler is blocked. The main reasons that lower the pressure are:

• Temperature too low, which causes the condensation to form

• Air in the pipes

• A fault in the 3-way valve

High boiler pressure

If the pressure is high, that is the boiler pressure gauge marks more than 2 bar, the energy eciency of the boiler decreased, which means that the consumption increases.

Page 37

7-ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

The electrical safety of the system is guaranteed only when this is connected correctly to an ecient earthing system installed in accordance with the safety standards in force: the pipes of the gas, water and heating systems do not constitute a suitable earth system. It is necessary to ensure this essential safety requirement; if in doubt, have a qualied technician test the electrical system with care because the manufacturer of the boiler does not assume responsibility for damage caused by the absence of an earthing system. A qualied technician should check that the electrical system is compatible with the max consumption of the system, checking in particular that the cross-section of the cables of the system is compatible with the power consumption of the loads. The use of any component that requires electrical energy requires compliance with certain essential rules like:

• do not touch the appliance with wet and/or damp parts of the body and/or when barefoot;

• do not pull on the electrical cables;

• do not expose the appliance to the elements (rain, sun, etc.);

• do not allow children or inexperienced persons to use the appliance.

Connection to 230V power supply.

The installation of additional electrical components of the boiler requires electrical connection to a 230V - 50Hz power supply: This connection must be made in a workmanlike manner in compliance with the standards in force in the country of installation.

Danger! Electrical installation must be entrusted to a single qualied technician. Before making the connections or carrying out any work on the electrical parts, always turn o the power supply and make sure it cannot be turned on again accidentally. Remember that it is necessary to install a bipolar switch in the boiler’s electrical power circuit with a distance of 3mm between the main contacts. The switches must be easily accessible to allow quick and safe maintenance.

The power cable must be replaced only by an authorised technician. Failure to observe the above could compromise the safety of the unit.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

First connect the power cable to the back of the boiler and then to a wall socket. The main switch at the rear must only be activated to switch the boiler on; otherwise, it is advisable to keep it o.

It is recommended to disconnect the power cable when the boiler is not used.

8-FIRST START-UP

BEFORE START-UP

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

Remove all parts that may burn from the brazier and the product’s tank (manual, various adhesive labels or any polystyrene).

The rst start-up may not be successful as the feed screw is empty and does not always manage to load the brazier with the required amount of pellets in time to light the ame.

CANCEL THE FAILED IGNITION ALARM. REMOVE THE PELLETS LEFT IN THE BRAZIER AND REPEAT THE START-UP.

If after repeated attempts, the ame fails to ignite, despite a regular ow of pellets in the brazier, verify that the brazier is assembled correctly and must be clean without any ash incrustations. If no anomaly is found during this inspection, there may be a problem with the product components or installation may not be correct.

REMOVE THE PELLETS FROM THE BRAZIER AND CONTACT AN AUTHORISED TECHNICIAN.

Do not touch the boiler during the rst lighting, as it is during this phase that the paint sets; if you touch the paint, you may expose the steel surface.

If necessary, touch up the paint with the aerosol spray in the original colour (see ‘’Accessories for pellet boilers’’).

It is good practice to guarantee eective ventilation in the room during the initial start-up, as the boiler will emit some smoke and smell of paint.

ATTENTION! Please ensure the brazier is clear of ALL pellets and ash build up following any failed ignitions. Failure to clear out the brazier prior to resetting may result in further failed ignitions or in certain conditions an explosive ignition.

Do not stand close to the boiler and ventilate the room as described. The smoke and smell of paint will disappear after about an hour of operation, however, they are not harmful in any case. The boiler will be subject to expansion and contraction during the stages of lighting and cooling down, and may therefore make slight creaking noises. This is absolutely normal as the structure is made of laminated steel and must not be considered a defect. It is extremely important to make sure the boiler does not reach high temperatures straight away, but to increase the temperature gradually using low power at rst.

DO NOT EXPECT HEATING EFFICIENCY IMMEDIATELY!!! ATTENTION! If during operation or initial ignition you encounter combustion smoke spillage in to the room from the appliance or the ue then please switch o the appliance, ventilate the room and contact the installation / service technician immediately.

Page 39

8-FIRST START-UP

OPENING/CLOSING

ATTENTION! The door must be closed properly for the boiler to work correctly. The rebox door and the lower door for cleaning the ash must only be opened with the boiler coil and o. If the doors are opened while the boiler is running, a system will trigger the alarm and the boiler will go o.

Open the outer door “A” by grasping the handle at the top right and pull towards you. Open the internal door “T” by lifting and pulling the handle towards yourself. In the event one needs to open the door with the boiler in operation, one must use suitable thermal protection clothing (for example leather gloves).

Page 40

8-FIRST START-UP

LOADING THE PELLETS

The pellets can be loaded either manually or automatically. The empty tank can contain up to 100 litres or 65 kg of pellets.

Manual Loading:

• Open the top door “C” of the boiler directly and pour in the pellets.

Automatic loading (with remote tank of 200/400 or 300 kg - optional - see accessories):

• Remove the round “V” plate from the door by removing the two “u” screws and disconnecting the insulation and inserting the tank pipe. Next, load with the optional tank.

Never remove the protective grate from inside the tank. When loading pellets, keep the bag from coming into contact with hot surfaces.
