TROUBLESHOOTING
Some anomalies indicating irregularities in operation can occur during
operation of the equipment. It can be caused by the incorrect installa-
tion of the equipment without observation of the applicable building reg-
ulations or provisions of this manual or by external causes e.g. natural
environment.
Below you will find the most frequent causes of incorrect of the equip-
ment with their solutions.
No ignition in operating igniter:
Too much pellet in the burner,
No pellet in the container.
The stove does not start:
Igniter does not heat up as due to power failure or damage,
No pellet in a container,
Lack of doors tightness.
Stove blockade:
Too high contamination, you should clean the burner, ash-
pan, combustion chamber,
No pellet in a container,
Controller blockade.
Correct operation can be disturbed by an atmospheric conditions
(air moisture content, fog, wind, atmospheric pressure) and some-
times by closely located high facilities.
In case of repeated problems, you should turn to chimneysweep
company to confirm the reason for such condition and to indicate
the best solution for the problem.

MEASURES IN CASE OF FIRE IN THE FLUE /SOOT IGNI-
TION/.
Systematic cleaning of smoke ducts should be per-
formed to prevent soot ignition in the chimney.
Soot ignition in the chimney is burning of particles deposited inside the
chimney (flue) channels; the deposits are formed in the course of heat-
ing equipment's operation and were not cleaned by chimney sweeps.
In case of soot fire in the chimney the following recommendations
should be observed:
call Fire Brigade at 999 or 112, give information about what
is happening and give detailed directions on what is happen-
ing and hot to get to the given building;
disconnect the stove from the electrical supply;
damp a fire in the chimney by the closing inflow of cold air to
the furnace chamber;
close stove's door and cleaning holes tightly to cut off air sup-
ply (due to lack of air the fire will eventually stop);
check the whole chimney channel for any cracks which might
result in fire spread to the rooms;
prepare fire quenching means, e.g. a fire extinguisher, a fire
blanket, a hose connected to the water system, water in a
container;
make rooms and necessary information available to the Fire
Brigade.
It is strictly forbidden to pour water into the chimney -
the risk of a blowout.
Untight chimney channels can be a source of burning
sparks or very hot flue gas, including insensible carbon
monoxide.
Chimneysweep should be called after soot fire in the
chimney to perform cleaning of ducts and to inspect
their technical condition.

REMOVAL DUE TO WEAR-OUT
Stove with electric equipment is subject to European Directive
2002/96/EC concerning waste of electrical and electronic equipment,
and in connection with it: marking in accordance with the above-men-
tioned directive /crossed bin/ on the waste of electronic and electric
equipment is located on the rating plate.
Before scrapping of stove you should disconnect all components that
are subject to selective collection of waste electrical and electronic
equipment for disposal purposes. These components include elec-
tronic controller, feeder drive, fans motors and other electrical and elec-
tronic components with conductors. Collection place should be speci-
fied by the municipal or commune services.
The other elements of a stove have been made of materials neutral for
the environment and are subject to standard waste disposal, mostly as
steel scrap. After worn out of the stove parts connected with screws
should be disassembled by unscrewing and welded parts must be cut.
Take safety precautions during disassembly of the equipment by using
appropriate hand-held and mechanical devices as well as personal pro-
tective equipment (gloves, clothes, apron, glasses, etc.).
