The pellet hopper is located at the top of the boiler.
It must always be able to be opened to load the
pellets, and must remain closed during operation.
Operation on traditional wood is not possible.
The boiler must not be used as a rubbish incinerator.
3.2 STORING THE PELLETS
The pellets must be kept in a place that’s dry and
not too cold.
It’s suggested to keep some sacks of pellets in
the same room where the boiler is installed or an

humidity are acceptable.
Damp and/or cold pellets (5°C) reduce the fuel heat
value and mean the burn pot (unburned material)
and boiler will need to be cleaned more frequently.
Pay special care when storing and handling the
sacks of pellets. Make sure these are not crushed
to prevent the pellets from becoming sawdust.
Sawdust introduced into the hopper may block the
pellet feed system.
Use of poor quality pellets may affect normal pellet
boiler operation and render the warranty void.
The features of the pellets must comply with
the requirements of EN 14961-2.
