BOILER START-UP
7.1.
Initial lighting checks
Before you start the boiler, make the following checks:
Check that all the hydraulic connections and make sure they are tight. Make sure there is no
leakage or moisture on the pipes or other equipment.
Make sure that the connection with the chimney is air-tight and the chimney installation is
properly made.
Check that the controller bulbs are well inserted and secured in the boiler’s case.
Make sure that the pressure in the network is correct.
Check that the boiler pump and the central heating pumps function properly.
Make sure that the connection with the expansion vessel is correct and the expansion volume
is sufficient for the boiler. No valves should be installed between the boiler and the expansion
vessel.
Make sure the boiler’s separation valves are open.
Make sure that there is sufficient air supply and natural ventilation in the boiler room.
Do not store inflammable materials or fuel close to the boiler! Before you light the
boiler make sure the boiler room is clear and safe.

Start-up the boiler
1.
Ensure that the installation has been done according to this manual
2.
Ensure that the plastic pipe is not connected to burner's feeding pipe
3.
Fill the feeder up with wood-pellet, by following the direction of paragraph 16 (Feeder's
Filling Procedure). The filling of the feeder lasts 8-15min depended on feeders incline.
4.
Ensure that the feeder is full of pellet. Let the feeder working after the first pellets come out
of the feeder for 10-15 minutes (locate a plastic bag at the exit of the feeder)
5.
Empty the plastic bag and place it back at the exit of the feeder.
6.
Make the feeder work again for 2 minutes, by pressing the button
7.
Weight the wood pellet which is in the bag (for example 0.4kg)
8.
Multiply it by 30 minutes (0.4x30 = 12kg/h). This is the feeder's performance
9.
Repeat the steps 4-8, 2-3 times until you make sure that you weight the right quantity.
10.
Place this value (i.e 12kg/h) on manufacturer's settings menu, in the parameter
“5. Feeder Performance”
11.
“CHOICE FUNCTION-/+” is written on the screen.
12.
By pressing the button “MODE/ “ once, starts the automatic operation of the burner
13.
When the maximum power of the burner is reached (from 10 to 35kW), then adjust the
burners flame by calibrating the air.
The burning air is calibrated just by changing the value of “Overflow pellet's air” at
Manufacturer's menu. The value must be between 0.20-0.7, depending on the
maximum burner's power, pellet quality, boilers construction and chimney's draught.
