8-First Start-Up - RED PERFORMA 25 Installation Manual

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 first 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 flame.
CANCEL THE FAILED IGNITION ALARM. REMOVE THE PELLETS LEFT IN THE BRAZIER AND REPEAT THE START-UP.
If after repeated attempts, the flame fails to ignite, despite a regular flow 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 first 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 effective 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 first.
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 flue then please switch off the appliance, ventilate the room and contact the installation
/ service technician immediately.
