Boiler start-up preparation procedure

6.3.
The "Tecnika" hot water boiler is turned on by setting the POWER switch to the ON position.
Check operation of the various elements/modules of the boiler crucial for reliability, efficiency and operation
of the heating system before manually igniting the fuel in the upper chamber:
 combustion gas fan
 start-up fin
 position and state of ceramic element in the boiler combustion chamber
 thermostat valve controlling air flow and distribution
 function of control and measuring elements (thermostats, thermometer-pressure gauge)
 flap seal bead.
Load a small amount of starter particles in the fuel hopper chamber (e.g. dry sticks, branches, etc.). Arrange
the particles to form a heap located over the nozzle of the burner arranged in the lower section of the
combustion chamber of the boiler. It is advisable to use no more than 5 kg of starter materials to start a
stable combustion process. The opening of the burner must never be obstructed by particles to prevent
volatile gases from passing through the nozzle and entering into the combustion chamber.

Igniting the fuel and heating the boiler

6.4.
 The boiler operating thermostat must be set to a temperature higher than 60
 Turn the combustion gas thermostat set point to minimum.
 Turn the combustion gas fan off (set START switch to the OFF position).
 Open the start-up fin - the start-up fin control lever is positioned on the right of the boiler upper
section, simply by pulling it.
Figure 6.4.1 The start-up fin lever of the boiler is pushed back and the fin is closed.
 Open the fuel hopper door of the boiler, arrange the starter material forming a small heap over the
burner opening so that the combustion gases can easily pass through the burner nozzle. Make sure
that the heap does not obstruct the opening of the nozzle and allows the easy passage of
combustion gases and fresh air. Start initial combustion, preferably using newspaper. Make sure that
this material does not release toxic or harmful gases.
