BOILER MOUNTING Each boiler should be connected to an independent chimney. Connection of multiple boilers to the same chimney is not recommended. Fig 3. Chimney distances Fig 4. Chimney connection...
INSTALLATION 4. INSTALLATION 4.1. Hydraulic connections The boiler is intended for connection with an open expansion vessel network. The boiler can be connected also with closed expansion vessel, if it is equipped with an overheating serpentine (optional). The boiler is intended for maximum working temperature 90 C and maximum pressure 2 bars.
INSTALLATION After firing the boiler, make sure the network functions properly at working temperature and pressure. The hardness of the mains water supply affects the boiler’s life span. It is recommended to use a water softener if water hardness exceeds 5 Do not fill the system at the working pressure! When the boiler will be heated, the water pressure will raise.
16A. The boiler room lighting must be on a separate circuit. The user is obliged to connect the boiler to an efficient grounding system. THERMOSTAHL ROMANIA SRL declines any liability for damage caused to people, animals and goods, due to defects caused by faulty electrical connections or lack of connecting the boiler to an efficient grounding system.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS 5.3.3. Activating the regulator After enabling power supply, the regulator recalls its status at the moment of disconnecting the power supply. If the regulator was not active before, it will start in the “stand-by” mode. In this mode, the display is dimmed, and displays the current time, weather sensor temperature and information: “Boiler off”.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS 5.4. Connecting exhaust temperature sensor The emission sensor should be fitted in the boiler flue (3). The gap between the sensor and the flue should be sealed. The sensor should be installed by a qualified fitter, while observing regulations applicable for chimney systems.
6.2. Starting the boiler with wood To correctly start up the ECOBIO boiler follow the next steps: Make sure the control panel switch is set to OFF and that fan does not function.
BOILER START-UP 6.3. Starting the boiler with pellet/biomass When the boiler is equipped with an automatic ignition follow technical instructions in the control panel. For manual ignition follow these steps: Turn the control panel on from the general switch and enter the manual mode. Activate the motor to shift a portion of fuel towards the furnace.
BOILER START-UP 6.5. Manual fuel loading In order to correct add fuel manually to the boiler follow the next steps: Stop the fan function by pressing the STOP button. Wait 30 seconds for the fume to exit the boiler. ...
BOILER START-UP The smoke at the chimney must be clear-grey. Black smoke means lack of air supply. If too much ash and big coal pieces fall down to the ash box reduce the air supply. The flame is too fast, dry, and might make a noise. 6.8.
SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE 7. SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE 7.1. Cleaning the boiler Solid fuel boiler require regular cleaning in order to function properly and efficient. Cleaning must be effected at least once a week. The boiler is equipped with three cleaning tools appropriate for the cleaning procedure of the boiler, as shown in Fig 6.
