First start-up
Preliminary checks
RED will not be held liable for any damage to persons, animals or property
caused by failure to observe the above instructions.
Before starting the boiler, it is advisable to check that:
the drawing of combustion air and the smoke outlet system are working properly as set out in the
applicable standards in force;
the boiler is fitted with all the safety and control devices set out in the applicable standards in force;
the supply voltage of the electrical accessory components of the boiler is 230V - 50Hz;
the system is full of water;
any cut-off gate valves on the system are open;
the external main switch is on;
the safety valve on the system is not blocked and that it is connected to the sewer drain;
there are no water leaks;
the ventilation conditions and minimum clearances for maintenance to be performed are
guaranteed.
9.5.1.
Start-up/shutdown from the control panel
The boiler is started up and shut down by
pressing key B on the control panel for 1 second.
After a start-up phase of about 15 minutes, the boiler runs regularly.
After the boiler is shut down by pressing key
B
on the control panel, the cooling procedure begins, which
includes the suspension of fuel filling, the cleaning of the brazier and the continuation of ventilation until the
boiler has cooled down sufficiently; this phase can last from 20 to 40 minutes depending on how long the
boiler was on for.
9.5.2.
Note regarding first start-up
The first start-up may actually fail, since the auger is empty and does not always
manage to fill the brazier up quickly enough with enough pellets for the flame to
ignite normally
If the auger is empty, the manual pellet filling can be enabled manually on the
control panel (see "load pellet" function – 9.2.11).
