5. Fuel
The free standing pellet fire unit must be operated exclusively with pellets. No other fuel
may be used.
Use only pellets certified by standard EN 14961-2 grade A1, with a
6 mm diameter and measuring between 10 and 30 mm .
The pellets may have a maximum humidity of 8% their weight. To guarantee a good
combustion, the pellets must maintain these characteristics so they should be stored in a
dry place.
The use of different pellets will reduce the efficiency of the unit and cause deficient
combustion.
You should always use certified pellets and must not forget to test a sample before
buying large bulks.
The physical/chemical properties of the pellets (i.e. the calibre, friction, density and
chemical composition) may vary within specific tolerances and according to each
manufacturer. Please note that this may cause alterations to the feeding process and,
consequently, the need for different doses (more or less pellets).
The unit allows the dose of pellets to be adjusted during start-up and at power
levels by ± 25% (see item 7.3.6 of the manual
– power and temporary settings).
Warning!
The unit must NOT be used as an incinerator
