Start-up Before commissioning / configuring the boiler 4 Start-up 4.1 Before commissioning / configuring the boiler The boiler must be adjusted to the heating system during commissioning. NOTICE Optimum efficiency and efficient, low-emission operation can only be guaranteed if the system is set up by trained professionals and the standard factory settings are observed.
The wood will dry out most quickly if it is cut into the appropriate length and split into pieces 4 – 5“ (10 – 12 cm) thick. The best length is 21“ (52 cm) for the S3 Turbo boiler. The wood is best stored in the open air under cover. Wood will dry most quickly if it is carefully stacked alternatively lengthwise and crosswise so that air can penetrate into the stack.
Start-up Initial startup 4.2.2 Non-permitted fuels DANGER Non-permitted fuels Burning non-permitted fuels increases cleaning requirements and leads to a build- up of aggressive sedimentation and condensation, which can result in damage to the boiler and void the warranty! Using non-standard fuels can result in severe combustion malfunctions.
❒ Ensure that the system is disposed of in an environmentally sensitive way in accordance with waste management regulations. ❒ You can separate and clean recyclable materials and send them to a recycling center. ❒ The combustion chamber must be disposed of as construction waste.
