Factory Settings → Burning Setup → Fuel X → Unfolding Fire. The next phase is the burning control. NPBC-V3C-K or NPBC-V4C-K has settings for 4 different power levels. Three of them are used for the burner's normal work. The 4th power level maintains the burning fire to avoid unnecessary cycles of extinguishing, cleaning and ignition when the water in the boiler has reached the set temperature.
