Important information for system operators
Never fill the burner pot with pellets by hand. Excessive combustion material in the burner pot means
that the pellets will not be ignited optimally. Too much low temperature carburisation gas will be gene-
rated and this can lead to deflagration.
1.7.3
Burner pot
Do not open the combustion chamber door, there is an increased risk of deflagration when opening the
combustion chamber door. A self-test is performed following a power failure during combustion and
then operation is continued automatically.

Sources of danger
1.7.1
Fire protection
The entire system must comply with technical fire protection requirements in accordance with the applicable
regulations, standards and guidelines.
All flammable materials in the close vicinity of the pellet central heating boiler for living areas must be pro-
tected against the effects of heat, in particular in the area of the front window.
Do not drape clothing or other items over the FireWIN for drying them.
1.7.2
Power failure
(or if the blower is not running)
Do not touch the front window – danger of burns.
1.7.4
Entering the pellet storage room, storage container
In certain conditions, higher concentrations of harmful gases (e.g. carbon monoxide) may build up in pellet sto-
rage rooms. If these are allowed to build up over long periods, it may present a hazard. Even though there is
no risk under normal circumstances, this scenario cannot be completely ruled out.
–
When working in filled pellet storage rooms, in the interests of safety a second person should always remain
outside the storage room. Always air pellet stores thoroughly before entering.
–
For stores that are difficult to access or only accessible from above (e.g. buried tanks), the person entering
the store should use additional safety equipment.
–
Keep children away from the pellet store!
Do not attempt to enter an unaired storage room (particularly buried tanks).
