Pellet boiler service comprises of only two tasks. The necessary presumption is use of guaranteed fuel endorsed by the
manufacturer. As a standard, use wood pellets with the 6mm or 8mm diameter.
6.1.1 Refuelling
The fuel level must be maintained in such height that there is always a minimum of 10cm pellets above the F1 feeder
inlet. Insufficient pellet volume may result in irregular dispensing or boiler fire extinction.

It depends on: Fuel bin size
The average boiler output in the particular time interval
Quality of used fuel
Anticipated interval – see anticipated burning times in table 1.
