19. Starting and Operating the Boiler for the First Time
Before firing up the boiler for the first time, the installation should be inspected and approved by a qualified plumbing or heating
technician. The system should be full of water and vented. All other settings checked and tested, especially the pressure relief valve.
When starting the boiler from a cold start, the following steps should be followed in sequence:
1. Switch off the controller power.
2. Push the bypass damper lever forward to open the burning chamber bypass.
3. Put paper, very dry kindling and a few larger pieces of dry wood into the burning chamber.
4. Start the fire.
5. Open the bottom combustion chamber door to provide a natural draft.
6. Let the fire burn for 10-15 minutes
WARNING! NEVER leave the boiler unattended in this state.
7. Add more wood.
8. Wait another 15 to 20 minutes for a charcoal layer to accumulate.
9. Close both upper and lower doors.
10. Pull the bypass damper closed (toward you) and switch on the controller power.
11. Ensure that gasification is occurring. (see explanation below ~)
12. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
13. Fill up the entire upper combustion chamber with wood.
14. Repeat steps 9 and 10
A properly sized and installed Paxo® gasification boiler should require loading every 8-12 hours, depending on the heat load and fuel
being burned.
It is important to avoid obstructing the chimney bypass damper with wood in the combustion chamber when loading fuel. Ideally,
reloading should occur when the fire has burned down to embers.
WARNING! Never turn on the controller power when the upper door is open. Never force the fuel loading door
closed. Doing so may damage the door or other parts of the boiler.
~
Gasification should begin at this point, although it may take a few minutes of operation to become fully engaged. Gasification is
occurring when you hear a soft rumble above the sound of the blower, and little or no smoke is being produced from the chimney.
Flame (and no smoke) is visible coming from the nozzle when you open the gasification (bottom) chamber door. Blue smoke coming
from the chimney after gasification is initiated indicates wood that is either too wet or a nozzle that is not covered with coals.
If you know the wood is dry and you’re seeing blue smoke, turn off the fan, open the bypass damper, open the fuel loading door and
move the wood around with the poker to better position the coals over the
nozzle/nozzles.
WARNING!
The yellow “no fuel” light indicates when the boiler needs to be reloaded.
