5.4 Preparations / Lighting the stove
Note: The ignition procedure starts anew every time the appliance is switched on as well as
after a power failure, and it can take up to 10 minutes before the first flame becomes visible
(depending on how clean the burner pot is).
•
Open the firedoor. Check whether the burner pot and firebox are free of soiling and pellets
and clean burner pot of pellets/ash/slag as necessary.
•
Close the door.
•
Open the combustion air pipe (if present).
•
Switch the stove on by pressing the I/O key (after delivery the display will generally show “G
OFF” or the “stand-by dot”). Now pellets are fed into the burner pot. The stove lights
automatically via the ignition cartridge installed in the device. The pellets will start
burning after 5-10 minutes at the latest.
•
If ignition fails (unburnt pellets in the burner pot), please first check whether the burner pot
is free of soiling (all air holes must be free; see also Chapter 0) and whether the fuel hopper
has been filled. If you are using the stove for the first time or the fuel hopper has run
completely empty it can take about 10 minutes before the pellets have passed the feed
screw. Clean the burner pot thoroughly before you try another start. Do not light the
pellets by hand . After a false start empty the burner pot completely and dispose of
the pellets and ash. Never return unburnt pellets from the burner pot to the fuel
hopper and never try to light them by hand.
Danger of fire through glowing embers and/or overheating!
Important information:
•
Do not restart the appliance immediately after a successful start. Instead let it cool
down for at least 5 minutes at “G OFF” before restarting. In this way you will avoid
overheating the appliance.
•
Be sure to keep the firedoor closed during the ignition phase and do not switch the
appliance on and off repeatedly.
5.5 Emergency operation with igniters
If the ignition cartridge of the appliance should fail you can still operate it when necessary by
using wodtke igniters. Light the pellets with the igniters as follows.
•
Open the firedoor. Check whether the burner pot and firebox are free of soiling and pellets
and clean burner pot of pellets/ash/slag as necessary.
•
Put wodtke igniters and a few pellets (never more than a handful) in the burner pot and
light them. Tip: Open the wodtke igniter a little before lighting it.
•
Close the firedoor and open the combustion air pipe (if present).
•
Switch the stove on by pressing the I/O key (after delivery the display will generally show “G
OFF” or the “stand-by dot”). Now pellets are automatically fed into the burner pot and the
flue gas fan starts running.
Caution:
Never use wood, paper, cardboard etc. or inflammable liquids for lighting the stove!
Never fill unburnt pellets or ash back into the fuel hopper.
Danger of fire through glowing embers!
