Boiler/Furnace Room Ventilation and Maintenance

1. The PB-1525 must be supplied with adequate fresh air for
combustion.
a. The room in which the boiler or furnace is installed should be
supplied with a minimum 4-inch diameter fresh air inlet
vented to atmosphere or minimum calculated diameter as
per local code. This ventilation must come from outside the
building, not from an adjoining room or enclosed space.
b. The installation (boiler or furnace) room must, not at any time,
be under a vacuum. This can be caused by other appliances
such as whole house fans, other combustion devices requiring
supply air, ventilation hoods, etc.
An improperly ventilated room can lead to incomplete combustion,
lower efficiency and even the production of harmful gasses within
the living space.
WARNING! Proper ventilation must be provided for the PB-1525 wood pellet
burner system.
2. The immediate area surrounding the PB-1525 wood pellet burner
system and host boiler/furnace must be kept clean and free of
combustible and/or flammable materials at all times.
3. Additionally, the loading of pellets into the pellet hopper may result
in large amounts of dust if the proper equipment or technique is
used. Care must be taken to remove dust from the boiler/furnace
room to prevent a dust fire or explosion.
WARNING! Improper handling of wood pellets can cause dust to be
released into the air. Proper ventilation must be provided to
avoid personal injury and possible dust fire and/or explosion.
