7. Fuel
The only fuel that should be used for the operation of the pellet stove. No other fuel
can be used. Use only pellets certified by EN 14961-2 grade A1 with a diameter of 6
mm and a length that can range from 10 to 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 it is recommended that
they should be stored in a dry place.
The use of different pellets will reduce the efficiency of the unit and cause deficient
combustion.
Only certified pellets should be used and a sample must be tested before
buying in bulk.
The physico-chemical properties of pellets (namely gauge, density and chemical
composition) may vary within certain tolerances and accordance with each
manufacturer. Please note that this may cause changes to the feeding process and,
consequently, the need for different doses (more or less pellet quantity).
Consequently, it may be necessary to adjust the pellets quantity according to its
quality, even if the pellets are certified.
The unit allows for an adjustment of ± 25% the pellet dosage at the start-up
phase and at each power level
.
WARNING!
This unit may NOT be used as an incinerator.
