6.1. FILING WITH WATER
Boiler and the entire installation water filling is to be performed using blowdown
connection.
This activity should be performed slowly allowing the air residing in the
installation to be removed.
It is accomplished when water is going out of overflow pipe. When filling the
heating system installation with water it is recommended to loose screw connection
at the place of boiler – installation assembly (on the hot water connector). Once
water is flowing out, tight the connection.
NOTE: Filling installation with water when boiler is in use, especially if it is
very hot is strictly forbidden, as boiler’s damage or fracture may be caused.
Once heating season is over do not get rid of water from heating installation and
boiler. When required, water may be let of through blowdown connection to a drain
once it is cooled down.
6.2. FIRING UP AND OPERATE A BOILER
Before fuel fire – up it is mandatory to check installation filling with water. Water can’t
be frozen. It must be checked also if there is no water leakage on boiler or screw
joints. Before first boiler start – up chimney must be burned.
Person who servicing boiler must be aware about that some boilers surfaces
are hot and before touching it is mandatory to wear protective gloves!
Safety goggles also should be used.

FIRING UP AND FUNCTIONING OF A BOILER IN THE AUTOMATIC MODE
The boiler works in the continuous mode – without shopping the fire, so firing out
operations are pretty seldom. Before the boiler is faired up, the hopper should be
supplied with fuel (fuel bunker) however, in such amount that the cover may be easily
closed. While loading the hopper, make sure that stones, metal elements, etc. are not
present in the bulk of fuel. Otherwise, screw feeder mechanism may be blocked.
Then the controller should be switched on MANUAL MODE (
in this mode, feeder
