14.3  

KEEPING  OPERATION AND OUTPUT REGULATION

   

14.4  

REFILLING THE CHAMBER WITH  FUEL

  23

Be thorougly informed about operating instructions, manual and electronic control AK4000.

To check water pressure in central heating system (max. 3 bar).

To connect electrical components ( example:pump, discharge fan, indoor thermostat, etc..)

To check fireclay bricks support inside combustion chamber (pic.3) 

To check cover metal panels.

To check power supply connection (230V/50 Hz) ,

To prepare sufficient amount of fuel for heating and burning phase.

Lower door open 

Burning base

1. Connect boiler to power supply network (230V/50Hz) by connector line.
2. Wait untill display is activated to basic image:

a) boiler without lambda sensor - immediately 
b) Boiler with lambda sensor – cca. 30 s (automatic servo-unit initialization). 

3. Chap.   4   –   7   choose   configuration,   that   match   to   your   boiler   installation   with   accessories   to   help 

handling AK4000 control. 

4. Set the boiler AK400 control to deactivated phase 

"OFF"

.

5. Fuel heating:

a) using rod open chimney (pic.3/3),
b) open   upper   door   (pic.3/2)   and   on   fireproof   nozzle   (pic.3/9)   place   paper,   so   that   small   piece 

extends to lower burning chamber (pic.3/25), cover with woodchips, then place wood cuts on top 
and fill-up with solid wood logs,

c) close upper door and open slightly lower door (pic.3/13) to achieve fuel heating in the chamber 

(pic.3/4), if the boiler is equipped with discharge fan use for quick start.  

d) when fire base is created (approx. after 10 - 15 minutes), closed the lower door and chimney flap 

using rod, 

6. Switch the boiler 

„ON“.

 Boiler will start combustion and controls its output automatically to required

temperature.

7. To refill the fuel follow steps in chap. 4 – 7

.

8. To shut down the boiler follow instruction in chap. 4 – 7.

Fuel inside boiler moves spontaneously towards fireproof nozzle.  Ash falls through nozzle and deposits in 
combustion chamber.  Boiler output is regulated automatically according to the set up temperature of outlet 
water.  If there is main power cut  failure during a longer period of time  or if  automatic control fails, it is 
possible to heat  as follows (it is only applicable for  the systems of central heating with gravitation flow):  
open  chimney flap and let  bottom door open a little. If this heating is used, it is necessary to check outlet 
temperature more frequently and to add less fuel.  The boiler may easily become overheated, if chamber is 
full.

  using rod open chimney flap (pic.3/3), 

  press  „

“ button on the display (chap. 4 – 7),

  open upper door with caution, to allow the smoke to disappear, 

  through upper door (pic.3/2) refill necessary volume of fuel,

  close upper door (pic.3/2) and chomney flap (pic.3/3),

  by pressing „ “ button finish fuel refill
