 Adding firewood

Do not add firewood until after the first load has burnt down to a small amount of charcoal. 
Open the feeding hatch slowly to avoid a cloud of smoke caused by the carbon monoxide that 
may remain in the firebox. Add firewood. The amount of firewood should not be excessive so 
that the accumulator can capture all the thermal energy released from the wood. The maximum 
load of wood is to the top of the air vents.

 Pellet use

Ariterm Vedo is compatible with an KMP PX21 pellet burner. Replace the stoking hatch with 
a hatch with an PX21 pellet stoker.  If you use a pellet burner, remove the ceramic grates and se-
condary combustion chamber and close primary and secondary air vents. Specified instructions 
on the installation and use of the pellet burner come with the burner.

 Oil use

Ariterm Vedo is also compatible with using oil as fuel. The oil burner is installed on the pellet 
burner hatch using an oil burner flange, which is available as an accessory.

 Electric use

The boiler is not compatible with electric use. If electric resistors are required, they should be 
installed on the accumulator.
