environment  it  is  especially  recommended  that  the  unit  is  protected  with  anti-corrosion  products  for  the  purpose, 
especially  between  working  periods.  As  a  suggestion  we  advise  the  application  of  graphited  greases  suitable  for  high 
temperature lubrication function and anti-corrosion protection. 

3.7  In  the  Products  belonging  to  the  pellet  range,  in  addition  to  the  daily  and  weekly  maintenance  detailed  in  the 
instruction manual, it’s also required to clean its interior and the respective fume extraction chimney. These tasks must 
be performed every 600-800 kg of pellets consumed in the case of pellet stoves (air and water) and compact boilers, and 
every 2000-3000 kg of pellets consumed in the case of automatic boilers. In case these quantities are not consumed, at 
least a systematic preventive maintenance on an annual basis must be done. 

 

3.8 It is up to the Buyer to ensure that periodic maintenances are performed as indicated in the manuals and handling 
instructions accompanying the product. Whenever requested it must be proven by the presentation of the technical report 
of the entity responsible for it, or alternatively by registering them in the instruction manual in the dedicated section. 

3.9  To  prevent  damage  to  the  equipment  due  to  overpressure,  it  must  be  assured,  in  the  installation,  safety  elements 
such  as  pressure  relief  valves  or  temperature  pressure,  if  applicable,  as  well  as  expansion  tank  adjusted  to  the 
installation, to assure its proper operation. Please note that: the referenced valves should have a value equal to or less 
than  the  pressure  supported  by  the  equipment;  there  may  not  be  any  shut-off  valve  between  the  equipment  and  the 
respective  safety  valve;  a  preventive  maintenance  plan  should  be  provided  to  certify  the  correct  functioning  of  these 
security features; regardless of device type, all safety valves should be channeled into sewer siphon, to prevent damage 
to housing by discharges of water. The Product Warranty does not cover damage caused by improper channeling water 
discharged by the valves. 

3.10 To prevent damage by galvanic corrosion to the equipment and the attached piping, it is recommended the use of 
dielectric tabs (cuffs) on connections between the device and metal tubes, whose characteristics potentiate this kind of 
corrosion. The Product Warranty does not cover damages caused by the non-use of such dielectric spacers. 

3.11 The water or thermal fluid used in the heating system (Hydro stoves, boilers, fireplaces central heating, etc.) must 
comply  with  the  legal  requirements  and  ensure  the  following  physical-chemical  characteristics:  absence  of  suspended 
solids;  low  conductivity;  Residual  hardness  of  5  to  7    (ºF)  French  degrees;  neutral  pH  close  to  7;  low  concentration 
chlorides and iron; no air inlets by depression or other. If the installation enhances a water automatic make-up it should 
consider  upstream,  a  preventive  treatment  system  consisting  of  filtration,  water  softening  and  preventive  dosage  of 
polyphosphates (fouling and corrosion) as well as a deaeration step, in case this is necessary . If in some circumstances 
some of these indicators present values outside the recommended, the warranty will cease its effect. 

3:12 Except as expressly provided by law, an intervention in warranty does not renew the Product warranty period. The 
rights of warranty are not transferable to the purchaser of the product. 

3.13  The  equipment  must  be  installed  in  accessible  local  and  without  risk  to  the  technician.  The  means  necessary  for 
access to the equipment will be provided by the Buyer, as well as all the charges resulting from the process. 

3.14  Guarantee  is  valid  for  products  and  equipment  sold  by  Solzaima  SA  only  and  exclusively  within  the  geographical 
and territorial area of the country where the Product was sold by Solzaima. 

4. Circumstances that exclude the application of Warranty 

The following cases are excluded from Warranty, being the total cost of the reparation payable by Buyer: 

4.1.  Maintenance  operations,  tuning  of  the  product,  start-ups,  cleaning,  elimination  of  errors  or  anomalies  that  are  not 
related to deficiencies of equipment components and replacement of batteries; 

4.2. Components in direct contact with fire such as: vermiculite supports, baffle or protection plates, vermiculite, sealing 
cords,  burners,  ash  pans,  trim  wood,  smoke  regulators,  ash  grid,  whose  wear  is  directly  related  to  the  operating 
conditions.  Paint  degradation,  as  well  as  its  degradation  by  corrosion  due  to  fuel  excess  charge,  open  drawer  use  or 
excessive draft of the chimney installation. The glass breakage by improper handling or other reasons unrelated with the 
conformity of the 

product. In the pellets family equipment’s, the combustion igniter it’s a wearing part, for that reason this 

component only as 6 moth of warranty; 

4.3. Wear components such as bearings;
