Initial startup
Before starting up for the first time it is important to read the Operating Instructions and the Manual for
the Control Panel carefully!
Notice: During the first few firings there could be a strong accumulation of condensation in the
bars underneath the ash tray. After several firings this phenomenon will automatically disappear.
Before initial startup, please make sure that the boiler is ready to be operated, i.e. that all electrical and
hydraulic connections are correct. Please check whether burner parts have shifted during shipping.

Warming-up and adding fuel
1. In the feeding chamber the ash around the turbo-disk should be removed. The remaining ash fa-
cilitates ignition and should not be removed until a layer of ash measuring about 2cm-3cm has
formed. Even then, a small residue of ash should remain in the chamber. For cleaning purposes,
remove the turbo-disk and push the ash into the burner hole. Do not force through! Danger of
damaging! The ash should not be removed from the chamber with a vacuum cleaner, as it could
still contain glowing embers of wood.
2. Remove the ash tray and brush along the combustion chamber bars as well as around the rear bend.
After this the ash can be removed. In this case a vacuum cleaner can be used. 3. Replace the ash
tray in the boiler as far as it will go.
The ash sieve must be fitted, as shown in figure
11
.
3. Starting using the electrical ignition system: Place two or three handfuls of very dry kindling
material (e.g. wood pellets, broken bark or wood chips) at the front of the boiler and around the
turbo-disk. The wood must be positioned so that it lies in front of the igniter opening. However,
this opening must not be blocked! Twist some newspaper together to make a sort of taper. Press
one end of the taper onto the ignition coil and place the other end on the kindling. Now lay several
layers of thin logs on the kindling material and the newspaper taper. The boiler can then be filled
completely.
