Procedures steps for startup
IMPORTANT:
Wood pellet or an agricultural products such as corn or wheat requires more attention than for wood
pellets. Please follow these instructions or you may risk a failure from the ash removal system causing an accumu-
lation or overflow in the burner and around the burner. These types of problems are your responsibility and are not
considered as a malfunction but a none appropriate adjustments with the control board. Wood pellets, corn and
wheat fuel have different physical characteristics such as; moisture, grain size and ash content, therefore these
guidelines and instructions will help you get a better performance and understanding of your unit when using differ-
ent fuels.
To familiarize you with corn or wheat, we recommend using wood pellets during the first days. When you
are familiar with the functioning of the unit, you can switch to corn or wheat. Corn or wheat may leave a
permanent white deposit on the glass.
Important: Paromax recommends purchasing a second ash pan when the unit is set to heat level 4 or 5 for
more than 24 hours. When the ash pan is full, there is possibility of creating a clinker or a fuel overflow
outside the burner. It is recommended emptying the ash pan everyday when burning agricultural combus
-
tibles.
Install the
24
holes burner and close the air inlet (image 3A).
Note: Refer to the fuel bed level on page 19.
Note:
Lightly tighten the upper disc with hands when changing the burner.
Install the ash box below the burner before installing the burner’s bottom
threaded disc.
In many cases, the use of certain recommended fire starter gels or materials can cause the beginning of a clinker
formation. In the event of a clinker formation during the first 90 minutes, you can use a “poker” to gently disturb the
fuel bed (embers) to continue its operation as before.
IMPORTANT:
If you must open the main door while the unit is running, always wear gloves and open the main
door slowly and for a very brief moment to prevent the extinction of fire
