4.2. Burner description The burner is designed to burn solid fuel in the form of pellets. These must meet exact requirements - see chap. 3. Burner operation is automatic and does not normally require supervision. The system of the refractory rotary furnace prevents the slag, one of the components of the burning process, to adhere to it. By rotating the furnace the ash and slag are moved forward until they are completely removed from the burner.
• Throttle flap is located between the second and third levels at the top of the fin plate heat exchanger and is used to control the temperature of flue gases at the boiler outlet. Boiler K14: When operating the boiler where the temperature of the flue gases is above 100 ° C, the throttle flap must be closed which means the flap lever on the top of the boiler must be moved as far back as possible and secured with the locking bolt.

If the temperature of the heating water reaches 95 to 100°C the emergency thermostat responds by shutting the boiler off separately from the programmer. The programmer then displays signal overheating. The emergency thermostat can be switched back on by unscrewing the black emergency thermostat cover and pressing the colour button only when the temperature drops below the set value by approx.
7.5. Residual risks and preventing them The risks arising from the use of the boiler under anticipated conditions and logically predictable incorrect use have been minimized by available technical means. Despite implemented construction and technical measures some residual risks are still present during the boiler operation.
3.) During continuous operation of the boiler it is recommended to clean the heat exchanger surface of the boiler body once a month. The heat transfer surfaces can become clogged, which can greatly affect the heat transfer and thus the efficiency of the boiler. After the end of heating season the boiler must be thoroughly cleaned.
