1.
Fully open the shaft valve before operating the boiler.
2.
Make sure that the system is full of water and the air in the system is removed before
operation. The system should be slowly supplied with water to prevent air formation in the system.
3.
The system should be supplied with water until water comes out of the messenger pipe for the
systems with open expansion tank.
4.
After the system is filled with water, the system should be removed from air and it should be
inspected for any possible leakages.
5.
In the systems with open expansion tank, the base pressure level on the hydrometer should be
marked.
6.
The user of the boiler should be informed on the boiler settings, operation of the boiler and
what to do in case of emergencies.
7.
Place the fuel on the sieves as shown in the burning instructions which is provided with the

manually and close the feeding lid. After it catches fire, close the lower lid and turn adjust the air
supply window on the upper door of the boiler.
8.
Note that the quality of the fuel you shall use shall directly affect the efficiency of the boiler,
quality of the burning, amount of ashes and cleaning periods and the amount of bunt coal.
Therefore, we recommend you to buy some amount of sample fuel to check the performance of
the coal before purchasing large amounts.
9.
The lever located near the boiler, which allows for the movement of the sieve, allows for the
ashes accumulated on the sieve to fall down. Thus, the contact of the air with fuel is minimized
and the burning quality increases
10.
Do not use high-calorie brown coals in the boiler. This may cause the sieves to melt and
damage the firebox sheet.
11.
For the boiler to have a long life span and for its durability, the water used should have the
nominal hardness.
12.
Do not operate the boiler without water and regularly control the level of water.
13.
When the boiler is operating, do not touch the hot spots with bare hands (smoke box, front lid
and interior parts of the boiler). Use protective equipments.
14.
Do not open the covers of the smoke box when the boiler is operating.
15.
Perform the periodical cleanings. Such cleanings shall allow you to obtain efficient and
