Fuel
The PLC series is designed for pellet as fuel, with use of an automatic pellet burner. As fuel, it is
recommended to use only premium quality wood pellet 6-8 mm diameter. Pellet of lower quality
or agropellets can only be used if approved by the pellet burner manufacturer. Note that if lower
quality pellet is used, the ash produced can be signifantly bigger and the cleaning interval more
often.

Pellet fuel characteristics
The quality of the pellets, calorific power, humidity and ash content is very
important for the boiler function and efficiency!
Normally, if using pellets with low ash content (DIN+ quality certification) the burner needs
cleaning once every week. If low quality pellets are used this might be needed up to once a day.
The PLC boiler can work with liquid or gas fuel as an alternative solution. For this purpose, a
corresponding burner must be mounted on the boiler’s door with a special flange.
It is prohibited the use of processed wood pellets, or other chemical treatment.
It is prohibited the use of explosive, inflammable materials, plastic, domestic
residues, etc.
NEVER BURN ANY TYPE OF CORN, CHERRY PITS, STICKS OR OTHER TYPES OF FUEL
IN THE BURNER.
It is prohibited to manually feed solid fuel in the boiler!
