The air intake must have a total net area of 100 cm². This area should be increased if
there are (electric) extraction or heating systems in the same room (e.g. an extractor
hood or wood stove).
On all Duroflame pellet stoves it is possible to connect an external air inlet. By using
this external air inlet, the pellet stove uses outside air for combustion. The
combustion of the stove is then no longer influenced by the ventilation in the room.
Ask your dealer about the possibilities.
The air inlets listed above must guarantee a minimum capacity of 50m³/hour.
The air inlet must not be blocked under any circumstances.
4 Starting a pellet stove
Starting up for the first time
Caution
! When using the stove for the first time, observe the following advice:
•
The curing process of the lacquers is finished only after burning the stove a
few times. This curing process can give off fumes and odours that are not
released later.
•
Use the stove on medium power the first few times to allow all mechanical
parts to settle and the paints to harden. This promotes the stove's longevity.
•
Keep children away from the stove, the fumes released can be harmful to
children's health. Adults should also be careful with these fumes and avoid
inhalation as much as possible.
•
Do not touch parts and surfaces until they have cooled down completely, the
parts and surfaces may still be unstable.
•
Ventilate the room very well several times after and during initial use.
•
The very first start-up of the pellet stove may take longer than usual.
Because the auger is not yet filled with pellets, it takes longer for the pellets
to settle in the burn pot.
It is even possible that it takes too long and the pellet stove gives an error
message (Error1).
Perform the following points before starting the pellet stove for the first time:
•
Make sure the pellet stove is installed correctly, as described in the previous
paragraphs.
•
Fill the reservoir with pellets and check that there are pellets in the reservoir.
