2.3 White pellets
Timber (white) pellets are made of sawdust and woodchips. The material may not contain sub-
stances such as glue, varnish or synthetic substances. The timber is subjected to high pres-
sure during fabrication and extruded through a holed die. The high pressure heats the sawdust
and activates the timber’s natural binders. The pellets thus retain their shape without added
binders. The calorific value of the pellets varies with the type of timber and can exceed that of
natural timber by one and a half to two times. The cylindrical timber pellets have a diameter of
6 mm and a variable length between 10 and 30 mm.
The density of the pellets is approx. 650 kg/m3
Due to their low moisture content (8-10 %), they have a high energy content.
Timber pellets must in all cases be transported and stored dry. On contact with moisture, they
swell and become unusable.
The most important European quality certifications for timber (white) pellets are DIN 51 735
and Ö-norm M7135. They guarantee that the following is complied with:
Length
10 mm.
Diameter
6 mm.
Specific gravity
650 kg/m3
Calorific value
4.9 Kwh/kg
Residual moisture content
6-10%
Ash content
below 1.5 %
2.4 Safety equipment
The pellet stove is provided with the most modern safety systems, such that in the event of a fault
in one of individual parts or in the flue, the stove or habitable room cannot come to harm. In all
cases, the pellet feed will immediately stop if a problem arises and extinguishing is activated.
The associated alarm will be shown on the display. Further details are given in the chapter about
alarms.
Open never the lid when the pellet stove Is operating. FIRE HAZARD!!!
The pellet stove may not be used with the lid open or with damaged glass. FIRE HAZARD!!! When
the pellet stove is working, the surfaces, glass, handle and pipes become very hot. Therefore,
you should only touch these parts when lit using appropriate protective wear.
Do not light the pellet stove without first having completed the daily inspection, as described in
chapter on MAINTENANCE these instructions.
Never dry clothing on the stove. Any clothes horses and the like be kept at an appropriate di-
stance. FIRE HAZARD!!!
Comply carefully with the maintenance program.
Do not switch off not the pellet stove by cutting off the power supply. Always use P3.
Do not clean the stove before it and the ash have entirely cooled down.
The pellet stove must only be supplied with quality pellets with a diameter of 6 mm, as speci-
fied in the respective chapter.
The pellet stove will not function with ordinary timber.
The pellet stove must not be used as an incinerator.
