CHOOSING PELLETS
This cooker is manufactured to use pressed wood (pellets) as fuel.
Make sure you use a high-quality pellets that are compact and dust free. Ask your vendor or manufacturer of the cooker for
the best pellets, with a diameter of 6 mm, a maximum length of 30 mm and a maximum moisture content of 8-9%. The proper
operation of the cooker depends on the type and quality of the 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 the bad operation of the cooker in the case of the use of
pellets of inadequate quality.
When using the low-quality pellets, the cooker must be cleaned more often.

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 below 5˚C has reduced thermal power and requires additional cleaning of the cooker.
PELETS 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 into the fuel storage, it can block the pellet injection. Such a pellet
can lead to burnout of the electric motor that drives the pellet insertion mechanism, or to damage on gear unit that works in
conjunction with the electric motor. If you see such pellets at the bottom of the pellets storage, that is, at the bottom of the
auger when the storage is empty, vacuum it by inserting the vacuum cleaner pipe through the holes of the storage grate.
