FUEL CHARACTERISTICS AND DESCRIPTION OF THE COOKER
3.1
FUEL CHARACTERISTICS
- Pellet is a fuel of cylindrical shape, produced from different types of wood, mechanically pressed, in compliance with the
regulations on environmental protection.
It is the only type of fuel envisaged for this type of cooker.
- The efficiency and thermal power of the cooker may vary depending on the type and quality of the wood pellets used.
- Burning of different types of pellets may require modification or adjustment of program settings.
In order for the cooker to work properly, the pellets must have the following characteristics:
- diameter Ø 6 mm
- maximum length 30 mm
- maximum moisture content 8% to 9%
The cooker is equipped with a pellet storage with the capacity specified in the table of technical characteristics.
The storage cover is on the upper side of the cooker.
The proper operation of the cooker depends on the type and quality of pellets, since the heat obtained from the different
types of pellets can be of different intensity.
The manufacturer of the cooker does not bear any responsibility for poor operation of the cooker in the case of use of pellets
of inadequate quality.
It is forbidden to use the cooker for incinerating waste.
3.2.
PELLETS STORAGE
Pellets must be stored in a dry and well-ventilated room, at a temperature of 10
˚
C ÷ 25˚C. A cool and moist pellet stored in a
humid room, with temperature below 5˚C, has reduced thermal power and requires additional cleaning of the cooker.
PELLETS CAN NOT BE KEPT AT A DISTANCE OF LESS THAN 2 METERS FROM THE COOKER. Handle pellets carefully, do not
break it.
WARNING: If a sawdust or small (broken) pellets are fed in the fuel storage, it may block the pellet insertion. Such pellets
may lead to burnout of the electric motor that drives the pellet insertion mechanism, or to damage of the gear unit that works in
conjunction with the electric motor. If you notice such pellets at the bottom of the pellets storage, that is, at the bottom of the
auger when the storage is empty, vacuum it with a vacuum cleaner by dragging the vacuum cleaner pipe through the openings
of the storage grate.
