11. INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMMISSIONING PROTOCOL
FOR PELLET AND COMBI STOVES
The commissioning protocol is to be treated as a documents and serves as
the basis for the warranty and guarantee terms. It is to be completed entirely,
in particular the stove data and addresses, the work to be performed is to be
ticked off after completion. The signatories confirm with their signatures that all
the items on the list have been concluded properly.
Note
Please return 1 completed protocol for putting into service to
RIKA Innovative Ofentechnik GmbH, Müllerviertel 20, 4563 Micheldorf, Austria.
Electrical periphery
It is important that the connection socket in the electrical periphery is earthed.
The operability of any room thermostat present must be checked. The execution
of commands is to be established by phoning in the case of a GSM modem.
Exhaust gas system
The exhaust line, stove and combustion air inlet are part of the combustion
system as a whole; therefore the correct execution must also be checked.
The plug connections should be tight in general since the system works with
excess pressure. The exhaust tube has a diameter of 100mm for pellet stove,
and of 150 mm for the combi stove, which is sufficient for short distances. In
the case of several changes in direction, the resistance of the exhaust system
can increase with the flue to such an extent that the combustion quality suffers
and/or noise arises from the greater flow speed. Correct determination of the
chimney draught can only be performed at nominal thermal output and serves
to evaluate the chimney. If the draught is more than 15 Pa, then a draught
limiter should be installed.
Stove functions
These are the basic stove functions that are to be checked and ticked off. The
stove is ready for operation if these functions are ensured.
Operator instruction
This is one of the most important points in the putting into operation. It is very
important that the operator understands the stove properly and is prepared to
assume responsibility for the basic tasks required for operational safety.
In particular the connection between special features of a biomass heating
system and his obligations as well as the warranty and guarantee terms must
be explained. e.g. non-tested pellets and screw blockers, lack of cleaning or
maintenance and stove malfunctions. Thorough instruction can prevent many
complaints.
Stove functions
Explanation of the processes in the stove during ignition, normal operation,
cleaning phase etc.
Control
Explain operator’s possibilities to intervene, empty pellet container, room
thermostat, GSM modem, functions and settings, program times if necessary.
Operating instructions: Handover and reference to the content to the following
points, is a document.
Warranty terms
Difference between warranty (statutory) and guarantee (voluntary), terms of
guarantee, determination of wearing parts, reference to pellet quality to be
used and the consequences of poor quality.
Cleaning instructions
Ash and dust occurs with a biomass heating unit. The fire trough is to be
cleaned regularly with regular heating operation (in the case of pellet operation,
the drilled air holes in particular must be free of residues). The ash drawer is
to be emptied regularly. The flue gas pipes are to be cleaned once or twice in
the heating season depending on stove type; by a specialist company is best.
Maintenance
Note
We recommend at least once a year to have all maintenance carried out by
your RIKA dealer.
Combustion
All doors must close tightly to prevent intake of false air.
