Start ‑ scavenge ‑ tip ‑ ignition
The pellet stove is started in the scavenging phase by pressing the
The scavenging phase lasts approx. 50 seconds and is used to eliminate any
adverse draft conditions in a cold flue. The grate tips automatically during the
scavenging process and any ash leftover from the previous combustion phase
falls into the ash tray.
Depending on the fill level of the screw conveyor the ignition process can take
approx. 5 to 30 minutes until the first flame is visible.
If the first ignition attempt is unsuccessful, further ignition attempts will be
initiated automatically. This may occur if the screw conveyor is not completely
full during the ignition process (e.g. first start after refilling empty container).
Note
In the event of a false start remove any unburnt pellets and ash from the
combustion cavity. Never replace unburned pellets from the fire pot in the
supply container.
