LOADING PELLETS
8.3.1.
Basic fuel requirements
The fuel, in the form of pellets, must be dry. The appliance manufacturer recommends that the fuel is
kept in dry, well aired premises.
It is strictly forbidden for the fuel to be kept near the boiler; the minimum safety clearance between the
fuel and the appliance is 400 mm.
The system manufacturer recommends an optimal distance between the boiler and the fuel tank of at
least 1000 mm. It is advisable for the fuel to be kept in a room close to the one where the boiler is
installed.
The fire prevention regulations must be taken into consideration during the system installation procedure
and during the fuel storage. It is also recommended that a fire extinguisher be fitted in a safe and easily
accessible place.
8.3.2.
Loading the boiler
Pellets can be loaded manually or automatically. The empty tank holds up to 110 litres, in other words
approximately 70 kg of pellets.
Manual Loading:
Open the top flap of the boiler directly and pour in the pellets
Automatic loading (to be teamed with the optional 100/200 or 400 kg remote tank – see
accessories):
Remove the round plate from the flap, cut the insulation and insert the tank pipe. Next, load the optional
tank.
Never remove the protection grille inside the tank; during loading, avoid the pellet sack
coming into contact with hot surfaces.
