1. THE PURPOSE OF THIS MANUAL The purpose of this Manual is to enable the user to take all necessary measures and prepare all necessary equipment and materials in order to ensure the safe and proper exploitation i.e. use of the boiler. 1.1.
When the installation is completed, the system must be put into a trial operation for at least 30 minutes in order to check up all the packing and seals of the system. When the incorporation and significant details are completed, the installer is obliged to provide the client with the following: −...
First, it should be ensured that there is sufficient combustion air in the room where the boiler is located. Occasional inspection is recommended to ensure that combustion air is properly supplied to the biofuel combustion chamber. The boiler operates on 230 V – 50 Hz. Ensure that the electric cable is not entangled under the boiler, that it is away from hot places and that it cannot come in contact with any sharp edge that could cut it.

C) Seal D) Inspection – control opening. Flue pipes in bad condition or made of inappropriate material (asbestos cement, galvanized sheet metal, etc. with coarse and rough or porous surfaces) are illegitimate and they jeopardize and hamper the proper operation of the boiler. Smoke can be discharged through a classic flue pipe (see the figures below) provided that the following regulations are met: −...

function. − Do not make any modifications for whatever reason except those allowed and explained by the manufacturer. − Always use original spare parts. Never allow the components to completely wear out before you replace them. Replacing a worn out part i.e. component of the boiler before it breaks down contributes to the prevention of injuries caused by an accident due to a sudden breakdown i.e.

firebox should be taken out for ensuring that there is no excessive ash accumulated at the bottom of the firebox. Then place the firebox back in its place, making it stable, to ensure the safe operation of the boiler. If you have any doubts, please do not hesitate to call the authorized service centre for further information and clarification, as the manufacturer does not have any insight into the installation of the boiler and does not offer any warranty for the incorporation of the boiler and its maintenance.

Figure 14 Figure 15 -LOWER SMOKE CHAMBER It should be cleaned manually at each consumed 90-100 kg of pellets (two full tanks). Raise the cover of the pellet tank. In the tank, in the front upper part, under the cover, there is a button for the mechanism for cleaning the chamber. By pulling the button for the mechanism few times forward-backward, you will clean the chamber.
The boiler and ash must be completely cool – unplug the power cable of the boiler. At the end of the heating season, unplug the power cable of the boiler for safety reasons. It is very important to clean and check the boiler as it is explained above.
Under no circumstances shall the manufacturer be responsible for the poor operation of the boiler due to the use of poor quality pellets. If sawdust or small – decomposed pellets are put into the funnel-shaped part of the boiler i.e. the fuel tank, these may block the pellet feeding.

Put thermo manometer on pressure line that will show water pressure in the system and water temperature on the boiler outlet. 11. FURNACE BUILT-IN COMPONENTS -Furnace has following built-in components: -safety valve, -circulating pump, -automatic air vent valve, -expansion tank and -fill and drain cock.
-Never remove the safety grill from the reservoir. During pellet filling, make sure that the pellet bag does not get in touch with hot surfaces. 15. DESCRIPTION AND FUNCTIONING OF THE FURNACE OPERATION CONTROLLER 15.1. USER INTERFACE The display unit enables communication with the controller by simple pressing on certain buttons. 15 .1 .1.

There are three types of programming of the stove operation: Daily programming Weekly programming Weekend programming Daily programming This enables setting of the daily functions of the chronothermostat. The stove can be ignited and switched off twice as desired and this is regulated by programming, having in mind that sufficient time is required between the switching off and the new ignition so that the stove could cool.

Figure 48 Figure 49 By pressing the button SET, a transition is made towards setting of another program. With the button 1 we adjust the time of ignition of the stove (figure 49). By pressing the button SET we set the time of switching off of the stove (figure 50). After the terminated setting, with the button 4 we return to the basic menu and an indicator will appear on the display that the programming is active.
