03 Safety information and instructions
Read the safety information before operating the system!
Failure to observe the safety information can result in injury, danger to life and damage to the system and the
building!
The current draw of the system-side equipment (boiler circuit pump, circulation pump, heating circuit pump, etc.)
cannot exceed 1800 W.
A heating system emergency switch which cuts off heat generation while continuing the operation of the heating
circuit must be installed outside the boiler room! (Not mandatory in Germany, but recommended) Disable this
switch before running maintenance or repairs!
• The manufacturer is not liable for damage due to incorrect connection of the delivery and return circuits – do not swap
the fittings. The connections must be removable and unstressed. Make sure the boiler can be vented when installing the
pipes. Fit the system with shut-off equipment at suitable points to facilitate maintenance (e.g. Isolation valves, (ball cocks
are a very specific valves fitted in a water resevoir tank) etc.).
• Before connecting the boiler to the heating circuit: Flush all pipes and free them of any residual foreign matter.
• Caution: The safety valve can be hazardous when it discharges! Convey the discharged water to a suitable drainage
point.
• Before starting up the system, check that the boiler is watertight. Charge the boiler to the safety valve's trip pres-
sure. Over pressurizing the system may cause damage to the pressure relief valve and other safety equipment. Run
water-tightness tests as required by local regulations.
• Only fill the boiler when it is cold. The flow temperature may not exceed 40° C.
• The pellet heating system may only be operated when in perfect working order. Malfunctions and damage which com-
promise or threaten to compromise its safe operation must be resolved by our service department or a technician cer-
tified by us to do so.
• The system may only be installed by our customer service department or a technician certified by us to do so. The
system has electrical components and rotating parts that could cause crushing hazard if not operated safely.
• Live cables (240volts) are routed under the panels and behind inspections hatches do not open unless authorised to do
so.
• Never open the boiler's service hatches while it is operating; hot flue gas and ash may issue from them.
• Before cleaning the system, shut it down. Switch it off with its ON/OFF switch. Wait for the system to cool down (the
boiler temperature is shown on the display). Emergency shut-off not always fitted. Should say 'do not work on the boiler
until the boiler is suitable isolated from the mains electrical supply' or disconnect it form the mains.
• Before sweeping the combustion gas pipe/flue, the chimney sweep must switch the system off with the ON/OFF switch
and wait for the remaining pellets to burn out (around 20 minutes). Possible hazard due to explosion risk from flue gas
build up.
Electrical connection: 230 V, 50 Hz; 16 A fuse, delayed trip.
Disconnection via ground fault circuit interrupter (voltage limits per EN-50160).
CAUTION: ISO 60364 must be observed!
Operating limits: Max. ambient temperature 0-45° C; max. humidity 0-95 %
