Troubleshooting
Resetting the alarm
Switch off the power to the burner for approximately
10 seconds.
In the event of a fault that requires intervention in the burner,
the power must always be switched off before work begins.
After action has been taken, the alarm is reset automatically
when the power to the burner is switched on.

Risk of entrapment.
Do not insert hands or objects in the feed auger.
Before any work is done on the feed auger,
the power cable must be disconnected from
the burner.

The voltage is measured in the sensor’s connection points on
the circuit board when the burner is live. During resistance
measurement, the sensor must not be connected.
Switch off the power to the burner and detach
the plug before cleaning or service or before
the burner is detached from the boiler.
Troubleshooting
In the event of a problem, first check all the conditions
required for the burner to work:
•
Does the burner have power? Is the operation indicator lit up?
• Are all control units, thermostats, etc. set correctly?
• Are all safety devices, overheating protection, hatch
switches, etc. in normal operating mode?
• Is the burner receiving pellets?
Look at the grate after a failed start. If there are unburned or
slightly singed pellets there, the most probable cause is that
the draught is too high.
If all the pellets have burned up, the most probable cause is
that there is a problem with the pellet supply.
External fault sources
Common circumstances that give rise to operating problems:
• the inclination of the feed auger from the horizontal plane
is not 40°±5°.
• the pellets do not meet the requirements under the
standard.
• draught >15 Pa.
• no draught damper, or it is incorrectly dimensioned.
• large area in flue.
• irregular fuel supply because the feed auger has not
travelled far enough, the pellet store is of poor quality
or there are a lot of crushed pellets in the store.
• grate in incorrect position.
Checking the feed auger’s capacity
A. Detach the quick coupler at the downpipe and hold your
hand over the quick coupler part that is attached to the
hose.
B. Connect the feed auger to a wall outlet and let it rotate
through 3.5-4 revolutions.
C. The quick coupler part on the hose must be filled with
pellets. If this is not the case, check the inclination of
the feed auger and its insertion into the pellet store.
