Basic fuel requirements

8.3.1.
 The fuel, in the form of pellets, must be dry. The appliance manufacturer recommends that the fuel is
kept in dry, well aired premises.
 It is strictly forbidden for the fuel to be kept near the boiler; the minimum safety clearance between the
fuel and the appliance is 400 mm.
 The system manufacturer recommends an optimal distance between the boiler and the fuel tank of at
least 1000 mm. It is advisable for the fuel to be kept in a room close to the one where the boiler is
installed.
 The fire prevention regulations must be taken into consideration during the system installation procedure
and during the fuel storage. It is also recommended that a fire extinguisher be fitted in a safe and easily
accessible place.

approximately 70 kg of pellets.
