PRELIMINARY CHECKS
BEFORE COMMISSIONING
Before. commissioning. the. boiler,. comply.
with.the.following.instructions:
–. The. system. connected. to. the. boiler.
should.be.with.open.expansion.tank.sy-
stem.(fig..9).
–. The.pipe.connecting.the.boiler.to.the..ex-
pansion. tank. must. have. a. suitable. dia-
meter.in.compliance.with.the.standards.
in.force.
–. The.heating.pump.must.always.run.du-
ring.the.boiler.operation.
–. The.operation.of.the.pump.must.never.be.
interrupted. by. an. environment. thermo-
stat.
–. If.the.system.is.equipped.with.3.or.4-way.
mixing.valve,.this.must.always.be.opened.
towards.the.system.
–. Ensure. that. the. draught. regulator. runs.
regularly.and.there.are.no.obstructions.
that.block.the.automatic.operation.of.the.
air.gate.dumper.

BOILER THERMOMETER
(fig. 11)
Indicates.the.temperature.of.the.boiler.wa-
ter.(pos..1).
5.3
AIR ADJUSTMENT (fig. 11)
The. primary. air. is. adjusted. automatically.
by. means. of. a. thermostatic. valve;. on. the.
other.hand,.the.secondary.air.is.adjusted.by.
means.of.a.round.port.placed.on.the.upper.
side.of.the.load.port.and.must.be.adjusted.
by.the.user.
At. the. first. start-up,. the. primary. and. se-
condary.air.must.be.adjusted,.considering.
that.the.primary.air.determines.the.boiler.
power.and,.therefore,.the.amount.of.wood.
that.is.burnt.and.the.secondary.air.comple-
tes.the.combustion.
The. optimal. regulation. of. the. SOLIDA EV.
operation.is.reached.when.both.the.boiler.
and.chimney.will.be.“in.temperature”.
Depending.on.the.wood.used.and.its.humi-
dity,. rotate. the. round. port. (anti-clockwise.
to.open.and.clockwise.to.close).so.to.take.
the. flame. to. optimal. conditions:. orange-
pink-white.with.a.blue.centre.
CAUTION:
Secondary air regulator with high tempe-
ratures!
Use gloves or suitable equipment to not
get burned.
5.4
CLEANING (fig. 12)
Cleaning. operations. must. be. carried. out.
frequently,. by. cleaning,. besides. the. flue.
channels,. also. the. ash-pit. port,. removing.
the.ash.in.the.collecting.tray.
For.cleaning.the.flue.channels,.use.a.spe-
cific.scraper.
5.5
MAINTENANCE
Do.not.perform.any.maintenance.work,.di-
smantling.or.removal.of.parts.without.pro-
perly.emptying.the.boiler.first..
The. boiler. must. not. be. emptied. when. the.
water.is.hot..
CAUTION: The safety valve on the system
must be inspected by technically qualified
personnel in accordance with the laws of
the country of distribution and instruc-
tions for use of the safety valve.
If the system is completely emptied and
remains unused for some time, the safety
valve must be inspected before it is used
again.
