EXPLOITATION INSTrUCTIONS
CAUTION!
•
Pyrolitic boilers are brought into exploitation only by a specialized firm authorized to carry out such activity.
Before starting to use the boiler, the following things have to be checked:
a) the heat system must be filled with water;
The water used for filling the boiler and the heat system must be transparent, colorless, without sediments, oil and aggres-
sive chemical additives.
Its solidity must correspond to the accepted norms. If this is not the case, the water must be softened.
In case of non-compliance with these requirements, if a defect on the boiler heating surface appears. the company does
not take any responsibility.

For systems, in which the water is in contact with copper (e.g. systems that have copper pipes) the value of the water’s pH must
not be greater than 10.
The heat systems with open expansive vessel allow immediate contact between the water and the atmosphere.
During the heating season, the water in the in the open expansive vessel absorbs oxygen, which increases its corrosive activity
and also activates the process of the water’s evaporation. Only water that complies with the above-listed parameters can be used
for filling up. During the heating season it is necessary to maintain a constant volume of water in the heat system.
When necessary, the heat system is filled up with water, but only if the boiler has cooled down.
This is very important, as it prevents damage of the steel heat transfer unit.
When filling up with water, one must be cautious not to allow any air penetration in the system.
The water is only used for the specified purpose.
It is inadmissible to pump the water out of the boiler and the system, except in cases of reparation.
b) Tightness of the heat system
c) Connection with the chimney
d) Contact with the electric mains (mains supply)
CAUTION!
•
Only adults, physically and mentally healthy, who have acquainted themselves in advance with the manual for exploita-
tion, must service the boilers. The presence of children without supervision from adults near the boiler is not admitted,
especially when it is in operation.
•
In case of danger of volatile fumes and gases penetrating the boiler room, or when activities that can lead to fire or
explosion (e.g. gluing floor covers, polishing with flammable paint, etc.), the boiler’s operation must be stopped.
•
The ignition process excludes the use of any flammable liquids.
•
All manipulations that can lead to overheating the boiler during its operation are prohibited.
•
It is forbidden to place flammable materials in the proximity of the boiler, or at a distance less than the safety recom-
mendations.
•
When removing the ash, the presence of flammable materials is allowed within distance of at least 1500 mm. The ash
is poured into a fire resistant container with a lid.
•
The exploitation of boilers with temperatures less than 60 degrees Celsius causes dew on the steel heat transfer cover
and leads to low-temperature corrosion, which shortens the life of the boiler. To avoid this condition, the boiler must
operate at temperature of 60 degrees or higher.
•
After the end of the heating season, the boiler and the chimney are cleaned thoroughly. The boiler room must also be
clean and dry.
•
Any manipulations on the electric installation of the boiler are prohibited.
