9 BOILER OPERATION
9.1 Preparation for heating up
If possible, store enough fuel for two or three
combustion processes near the boiler room.
Prepare firewood
The firewood must correspond to size
(circumference 8 – 10cm) and dimensions to the
size of the boiler. Firewood without bark burns
better.
9.2 Heating up
Warning: Risk of system
damage due to improper
maintenance!
Wrong position or lack of
firebricks inside the boiler can
lead to damage or destruction
of the boiler.

Before heating up the
boiler, check the position
of the firebricks.
Warning: Risk of system
damage due to improper
maintenance!
Excessive fuel feeding can
cause
overheating and
damage to the boiler.

Adapt the amount of fuel
to the energy absorption
capacity of the heating
system.
Crucial for the clean burn-off in
the boiler are the correct
operation of the boiler as well
as a sufficient feed pressure of
the exhaust system.
In the following a possibility for the heating up of
the boiler is described. Depending on the ambient
conditions (draft, exhaust system, wood, and so
on) other heating up processes may be better.
Get familiar with the boiler and find out the best
handling for you to use. Test the best opportunity
for heating up the boiler.
Please note always the safety notes!

Switch on the main switch [2] and regulator (

On/Off – button). The regulator displays status
1.
1 … Cable bushing
2 … Main switch
3 … Electric supply

After the filling shaft or lighting-up door is
opened the “burning phase” (Status: 2) starts
automatically.
If it is not desired or necessary
to heat up the boiler, this
process can be interrupted with
a long press of the On/Off
button.

To form a good flame it is recommended that
the lower third of the filling shaft be filled with
small pieces of wood.

After that normally chopped wood (size
around 8cm) can be used for filling.

Then open the lighting up door (4) and light up
with an oil ignition, wood shavings or
cardboard.

When the exhaust gas temperature is more
than 120°C, close all doors
By sufficient feed pressure a firebed (draft) is built
up and the wood in the filling room is burning von
bottom to top.
