1.3 Pellet quality, Intended use
The Flexilo SPRING for wood pellets is intended solely for the storage of wood pellets. The
maximum acceptable bulk good temperature is 50 °C.
If you want to store other materials you need to get in touch with the manufacturer
necessarily.
We assume use of quality pellets complying with EU-Norm EN 14961-2
respectively
complying with DINplus that have a diameter of 6 mm. According to the DEPV-guidelines

in their boilers.
