USER MANUAL FOR INDEPENDENT PELLET FIRED BOILERS 

 

SUPPLEMENTARY OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE UK MARKET 

TO BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THOSE IN THE INSTRUCTION BOOKLET 

WARNING NOTE 

 

Properly installed, operated and maintained this Boiler will not emit fumes into the dwelling.  Occasional 
fumes from de ashing and re fuelling may occur.  However, persistent fume emission is potentially danger-
ous and must not be tolerated. If fume emission does persist, then the following immediate action should be 
taken: 

 

 

(a)

 

Open doors and windows to ventilate the room and then leave the premises.

 

(b)

 

Let the fire go out.

 

(c)

 

Check for flue or chimney blockage and clean if required

 

(d)

 

Do not attempt to relight the fire until the cause of the fume emission has been identified and corrected.  
If necessary seek expert advice.

 

 

The most common cause of fume emission is  a flueway or chimney blockage. For your own safety these 
must be kept clean at all times.

 

General 

 

Before lighting the boiler check with the installer that the installation work and commissioning checks 
described above have been carried out correctly and that the chimney has been swept clean, is sound 
and free from any obstructions. As part of the boilers’ commissioning and handover the installer should 
have shown you how to operate the boiler correctly.

 

Do not light the boiler if there is a possibility that any part of the heating system may be frozen

 

Please make sure that the ash

-

pit door, Boiler flue and combustion chamber doors, the hopper lid/

charging door and flue cleaning doors are firmly closed at all times whilst the boiler is in operation.

 

CO Alarm 

Your installer should have fitted a CO alarm in the same room as the appliance. If the alarm sounds un-
expectedly, follow the instructions given under “Warning Note” above.

 

Boiler Access 

Access to the boiler should be restricted for children, aged and/or infirm persons by way of a lockable 
door to the room in which the boiler is installed.

 

 

Chimney cleaning  

The chimney should be swept at least twice a year. It is important that the flue connection and chimney are 
swept prior to lighting up after a prolonged shutdown period. Where the chimney is believed to have a 
served an open fire installation it is possible that the higher flue gas temperature from a flue sealed appli-
ance may loosen deposits that were previously firmly adhered, with the consequent risk of flue blockage. It 
is therefore recommended that the chimney be swept a second time within a month of regular use after 
installation.

 

 

 

READ THE INSTRUCTION BOOK AND 

THESE INSTRUCTIONS                                             

CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE BOILER
