METAL-FACH Heating Technology General information (User) The Operation and Technical Manual is one of the product parts which are supplied together with the purchased central heating boiler. The Operation and Technical Manual contains information about the design, installation and method of operation of boilers with self-cleaning pellet burner of the SLIM PELLET and SLIM PELLET MINI series.
METAL-FACH Heating Technology Application (User | Installer) The boilers are designed for heating residential buildings such as: single-family and multi-family houses, farm buildings, public utility buildings, and domestic hot water. They are equipped with an automatic fuel feeding system. Thanks to the use of modern construction solutions the boilers of SLIM PELLET and SLIM PELLET MINI series reach efficiency of ≤90%.
The user should carefully read the operating instructions for the controller, fan and feeder together with the self-cleaning pellet burner. NOTE! METAL-FACH reserves the right to introduce changes to the technical parameters, equipment and specifications of the offered goods without prior notice.
METAL-FACH Heating Technology Basic elements of boiler construction (User | Installer) SLIM PELLET and SLIM PELLET MINI are boilers with an automatic burner for biomass in the form of wood pellets. The boiler is made of certified steel sheets P265GH (for furnace components), S235JR (for water jacket components) and heat resistant steel (burner components exposed to direct flame impact).

Page 22
METAL-FACH Heating Technology NOTE! Mechanical exhaust ventilation should not be used in the boiler room. NOTE! Ensuring a sufficient supply of fresh air into the boiler room will enable efficient combustion of the fuel. NOTE! Excessive carbon dioxide in the room should be prevented.
METAL-FACH Heating Technology Boiler installation (User | Installer) An important element of installation is the correct positioning and levelling of the SLIM PELLET or SLIM PELLET MINI type boiler; these boilers do not require special foundations. Boiler leveling is facilitated by adjustable feet.
Page 24
METAL-FACH Heating Technology The boiler should be placed on a heat insulating non-flammable base, which on each side of the boiler should be larger than the base of the boiler by 2 cm. If the boiler is located in a cellar, it is recommended that it is placed on a foundation of at least 5 cm.
METAL-FACH Heating Technology Connection of the boiler to the heating system (Installer) Boiler connection to the central heating system should be performed by a firm authorized by the manufacturer and the fact of a proper connection should be confirmed on a guarantee card attached to this manual. Boiler should be connected according to producer recommendations, in accordance with this manual.

METAL-FACH Heating Technology Connection of the boiler to a closed heating system (Installer) When installing the boiler in a closed heating system, it is important to use elements protecting the system against overheating, excessive pressure increase and to use a controller regulating the temperature during the combustion process.
METAL-FACH Heating Technology Protection of the installation by means of an external cooling coil (Installer) The coil mounted on the system feed is connected to a cold water pipe, which flows through it only when a thermal valve with a sensor immersed in the boiler feed opens when the set temperature is exceeded. The water passes through the coil and removes heat from the boiler water jacket, after which it is discharged into a cooling sump, as directing the hot water directly into the sewer pipes could damage them.
METAL-FACH Heating Technology Protection of the installation by means of a dual-circuit cooling valve (Installer) Thermal protection with a cooling valve (e.g. DBV-2) serves to reduce the temperature of water in the heating system if its temperature is exceeded. When the safety temperature is exceeded, the valve opens. When the outlet valve is opened, hot water flows out of the heating system and cold water can flow in from the supply line (mains water), thus cooling down the boiler and the system.

METAL-FACH Heating Technology Solid fuel boilers with automatic fuel feed do not pose a significant risk of uncontrolled temperature rise in the central heating system as the amount of fuel fed to the burner is small. In addition, if the temperature rises, safety devices and actions are automatically activated without user intervention.
METAL-FACH Heating Technology Requirements for the expansion vessel (Installer) Each open system heating system should be fitted with an expansion vessel whose function is to take up the increase in volume of the water filling the system and to vent. This vessel should be installed at the highest point of the system, if possible in a vertical line above the boiler(s).
The first start-up of the boiler must be carried out only by a service technician trained by the manufacturer, with a valid certificate of METAL-FACH Authorised Service Provider, METAL-FACH Distributor or a person holding a SEP license up to 1,5 kW. NOTE!
