Pellet container ref illing
Note
CAUTION when filling! Don't allow the pellet bag to get in contact with the hot
stove. Remove immediately pellets which have not found their way into the
reservoir!
In order to prevent the fire from extinguishingt due to a lack of pellets, we
recommend to keep an appropriate level in the reservoir upright. A 15 kg bag of
pellets can be filled into your stove when half of the pellets the pellet container
was consumed. See the level frequently. The container lid must, however,
always be kept closed except when filling.
When filling the container during operation (opening the container lid) the fan
starts up and pellet transport stops immediately, the operation will be resumed
after closing the container lid (see WARNINGS AND ERROR MESSAGES)
Pellet container capacity (see SPECIFICATIONS).
Emergency operation - heating up without
electrical Ignition
If the ignition cartridge fail, firelighters can be used for an emergency operation.
First, start the stove as usual. Wait for the turning of the grid (only for units with
turning grids). Then open the combustion chamber door and give a handful of
pellets with the igniter into the cleaned burn pot, light up this and close the
combustion chamber door.
Note
: Do not use flammable liquids to light up the fire!
