Filling The Pellet Store; Operating Noises - Windhager FireWIN Operating Manual

1. Important information for system operators

1.7 Filling the pellet store

Attention!
The pellet boiler must be switched off correctly at least 15 minutes before the store is filled –
Fig. 2. Press the ON/OFF button. Never switch off using the emergency OFF switch!
Pressing one of the six buttons firstly switches just the lighting and display on. The boiler is only switched off
when the button is pressed for the 2nd time. Wait until burnout mode has finished (not indicated on the display)
and open the combustion chamber doors.
During filling, negative pressure is created in the pellet store and this can cause burn-back in the pellet boiler.
Therefore, the boiler must be stopped from operating during the filling procedure.
Every storage room fill should be documented by adding the date and volume to the „Storage room fill" sticker –

1.8 Operating noises

The FireWIN is a modern, fully automated pellet central heating boiler for living areas with a high level of con-
venience in terms of operation and cleaning. This automation means that operating noises may occur during
normal operation.
Normal operating noises are:
Flame noises – Natural flame noise can be heard depending on the size of the flames.
Light scratching and scraping noises – Depending on the level of contamination, cleaning noises may occur
during automated cleaning or shake-out. If these become louder over time è Clean the pellet central heating
boiler, especially the burner pot.
Trickling of pellets and vacuum cleaner noise – Fully automated pellet supply involves pellets being sucked
from the storage room into the reserve supply container. During filling, the suction turbine generates a „vacuum
cleaner noise" in the storage room and the feed hose, and the trickling of the pellets can be heard in the reserve
supply container.
Clicking noises – The relays switch on or off when the control unit is installed.
Liquid noise, gurgling – This is caused by air in the heating water è Bleed the system.
Air induction noises – Air induction noise occurs at the air supply induction point for combustion (air opening in
the device) è For information on routing the induction point through air supply pipes and into an adjacent room
or about a form of operation that is independent of the room air, see the FireWIN assembly instructions.
Auger conveyor noise – During operation, the drive motor for the auger conveyor may emit low-level intermittent noises.
Note!
Due to these operating and flame noises, we do not recommend installing the device in bedrooms or
quiet rooms – see also the information in the FireWIN „Assembly instructions".
