Safety and unexpected risks
Risks could arise at the exploitation of the burner of series “GP”:
The automatic pellet burner “GP” is designed according to the safety
requirements of the operating European standards and norms. However safety
and unexpected risks could arise in situations like following:
The pellet burner of series “GP” is operating incorrectly/abnormally;
The unit is installed by unauthorized/unqualified personal;
The safety instructions, described in this manual are not followed and
fulfilled;
Unexpected risks:
The pellet burner of series „GP” is designed and produced according to the
requirements of the operating EU safety norms. However, in spite of that
possible risks are considered as a result of the operating process of the pellet
burner, it is possible to arise risks as follows:
Cauterization risks
, caused by high temperatures, as a result of the
combustion process in the combustion chamber, at manual cleaning
processes of the surfaces of the burner (i.e. its combustion chamber), or
ash residue cleaning, or any unburned fuel material, smoldering on the
grate of the combustion chamber;
Electrical shock risks
at indirect contact. The burner is connected to the
power supply and its operating modules are separated in a section of its
main module, equipped with required protective and short-circuit
preventive elements. It is obligatory to perform by authorized
personal/technician the burner ground connection. It is forbidden to
remove the cover of the main unit of the burner, as well as the protective
cover of the electric motor of the fuel transport auger, by unauthorized
person;
Fingers injuring risks
at operating mode or at maintenance and cleaning
process of the burner. It is recommended to use appropriate individual
resources for self-protection;
Suffocation risks
due to flue gas uncontrolled emissions, in case when the
chimney draught is insufficient, in case that the flue gas duct (of the heat
consumer unit) is clogged, or in case that the flue gas duct is not fully
tightened and gas leaks are possible;
