Procedures steps for startup
IMPORTANT:
Wood pellet with high ash content
(WOOD )
or an agricultural products such as corn or
wheat requires more attention than for wood pellets. Please follow this instruction or you may risk a failure from
the ash removal system causing an accumulation or overflow in the burner and around the burner. These types
of problems are your responsibility and are not considered as a malfunction but an non appropriate adjustments
on the control board. Wood pellets, corn and wheat fuel have different physical characteristics such as; moisture,
grain size and high ash content, therefore these guidelines and instructions will help you get a better performance
and understanding of your unit when using different fuel.
To familiarize yourself with corn or wheat, we recommend using wood pellets during the first days. When
you are familiar with the functio ning 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
24 hours. When the ash pan is full, there is possibility of creating a clinker or a fuel overflow outside the
burner. it is recommend to empty the ash pan everyday when burning agricultural combustibles.
Install the
24
holes burner and close the air inlet (image 3A).
Note: Refer to the fuel bed level on page 19.
Important: Lightly tighten the upper disc with hands when changing
the burner. Do not use any tools. 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 that a clinker begins during the first 90 minutes, you can use a “poker” to gently disturb the
fuel bed (embers) to continue operating 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 brief moment to prevent the extinction of fire

WARNING : Never open the main door (glass) and the ash door at the same time,
