INSTRUCTIONS
The correct proportions of air of combustion from the fan and gases from the wood are a
prerequisite for optimal and environmentally friendly burning of the wood with the
highest possible efficiency. Operation of the fan assumes that the boiler can continually
discharge its heat. BAXI therefore recommends that a buffer tank always be connected.
Tar deposits are not normally a problem in a Solo Innova which is fired as directed (see
section 1.3.12 – Operation with buffer tank).
1)
Switch on the fan with the switch on the control panel (F) (Setting I).
2)
Press door open switch O and open the door.
3)
Insert pieces of wood and paper.
4)
Light the wood and the paper. Close the door.
5)
Switch on the fan switch (F).
6)
Press the reset switch (N). The fan will start.
7)
Add fuel when the embers are about 150 mm high.
– Combustion will be in progress after about 5-10 minutes.
It is very important not to add so much wood than that the heat of combustion cannot be
stored in the reservoir. The maximum temperature should only be reached when the
wood has burned. THE FAN SHOULD NOT SWITCH OFF BEFORE THE WOOD
HAS BURNED*) IF THE FAN SWITCHES OFF BEFORE THIS, THERE IS TOO
MUCH WOOD. MAKE THE BEST POSSIBLE USE OF THE RESERVOIR AND DO
NOT ADD TOO MUCH WOOD. See also 1.3.12
*) Waiting time and starting/stopping of the fan do not give clean combustion. It is also
bad for the boiler as condensation will occur in the filling chamber, causing corrosion in
the steel walls.
1)
Switch on the fan with the switch on the control panel (F) (Setting I).
2)
Press the door open switch.
3)
Open the filling door 2 cm with the left hand.
4)
Wait about 20 seconds.
5)
Slowly open the door.
6)
Add wood. Try to stack the wood as evenly as possible.
7)
Close the door.
8)
Switch on the fan switch (F).
9)
Press the reset switch (N).
The warming up procedure for daily use is the same as was done the first time. Use
pieces of wood and paper. Stir up the ashes when the fire is underway. Add more wood,
close the door and switch on the fan. The newly added wood will now ignite.
The fuel tunnel (behind the ash door) must be kept reasonably free of ashes and small
half-burned pieces of wood. Use the scraper to keep the tunnel clean and leave the small
pieces of wood in front of the tunnel, where they will burn. It is useful to check the
tunnel each time it is warmed up and to clean carefully as required.
Storing the fuel. Wood may not be stored in the boiler room. The wood is best
protected from rain, stored under cover.
The transport protectors for the ceramic bricks are made of wood and will quickly burn.
Do not try to remove them.
