The
firewood
must
(circumference 8 – 10 cm) and dimensions to the
size of the boiler. Firewood without bark burns
better.

Heating up

Warning: Risk of system damage
due to improper maintenance!
Wrong
firebricks inside the boiler can
lead to damage or destruction of

boiler.
Adapt the amount of fuel to
the
capacity
system.
Crucial for the clean burn-off in

boiler
operation of the boiler as well as
a sufficient feed pressure of the
exhaust system.
When heating up with log wood
there may occur a greater smoke
production at the chimney.
In the following a possibility for the heating up of
the boiler is described. Depending on the ambient
conditions (draft, exhaust system, wood, and so

After the casing door is opened the "burning"
phase (Status: 2) starts automatically.
If it is not desired or necessary to
heat up the boiler, this process
can be interrupted with a long
press of the On/Off button.
To form a good flame it is recommended that
the lower third of the filling shaft be filled with
small pieces of wood.
After that normally chopped wood (size
around 8 cm) can be used for filling.
Then close filling door and open the firing
door (4) and fire up with an oil ignition, wood
shavings or cardboard.
When the flue gas temperature is 120°C,
close all doors.
By sufficient feed pressure a fire bed (chimney
flue) is built up and the wood in the filling room is
burning from bottom to top.
