9. BRIEF INFORMATION ON FUEL - PELLETS

What are pellets?

Wood pellets are a standardised fuel� Every manufacturer must
adhere to certain conditions in order to enable flawless, energy-
efficient heating� Pellets are made from wooden waste, from sawmills
and planning workshops, as well as from residue from forestry
operations� These starting products are crushed, dried, and pressed
into pellet fuel without any bonding agent�
ENplus – Pellets
This ENplus standard sets benchmarks in the European pellet
market� The traceability of pellets is ensured thanks to the use of
identification numbers� The pellet manufacturers' production
facilities and manufacturing processes are reviewed every year�
A quality assurance system ensures the pellets comply with the
requirements of the new standard and that the conditions for
trouble-free heating are guaranteed

Your pellet stove is only approved for the burning of pellets of tested
quality� Please ask your pellet stove dealer for tested fuel and a list of
monitored fuel manufacturers�
Note
Only burn pellets that have been inspected according to
ENplus - A1� Using poor quality or prohibited pellet fuel will have a
negative effect on the function of your pellet stove and can also
lead to the warranty becoming null and void, as well as the product
liability connected with this�
Note
Burning straw, maize, woodchips etc� is not permitted! Observe
waste incineration legislation!
regulations makes void all warranty and guarantee claims and
may impair the safety of the unit!

Pellet container refilling during operation

Note
CAUTION when filling! Avoid direct contact between the plastic
bag and the hot stove� Immediately remove all pellets that have
fallen on the hot stove or next to the container!
We recommend always having a suitable amount of pellets in the
container to prevent the fire from extinguishing due to a lack of fuel�
Check the level frequently� However the container lid should be kept
closed, except during filling�
If you refill the container during operation (open the container lid),
the fan will speed up and the pellet auger will stop; operation will only
be continued once the container lid is closed again (see operating
TOUCH DISPLAY

Pellet storage

In order to guarantee problem free burning of the wooden pellets, it
is imperative necessary to store the fuel as dry as possible and free
from impurities�
Pellets should not be kept in sacks outdoors or stored in a manner
where they are exposed to the environment� This can lead to
blockages in the screw conveyor�
Note
Screw stoppers are excluded from the warranty�
