3.1 ACTIONS BEFORE AND DURING INITIAL START-UP
In the case of new build or refurbishment: allow the building to dry
G
out thoroughly before using the stove for the first time. It is well
understood that walls, ceilings and/or floors take a long time to dry
completely. Soot, ash particles etc. can easily stick to walls that have not
fully dried.
1.
Check whether the stove has been installed according to the installation
manual.
2.
Remove all items such as the manual, stove tools etc. from in and around the
stove before putting it into operation.
3.
Fill the pellet hopper with pellets. See section 5 of this manual, "Filling the
pellet hopper with pellets", for details about which pellets to use and how
to fill the hopper.
4.
Put the plug into an earthed mains socket and turn the power switch on.
This is located at the rear of the stove.
Check section 9 "Electrical connection" in the installation manual before
connecting the appliance to the mains.
5.
Read section 4 "Normal use of the stove" for more information about how
to use the remote control (if supplied) and the start-up procedure.
6.
Make sure the room is adequately ventilated. The stove is made from high
quality steel with a protective coating. During the first few stoking sessions,
the coating will continue to harden and the steel will settle. This process
takes time. During the initial use, it is normal for there to be an unpleasant
smell and smoke coming from the stove's coat of paint.
7.
Never operate the appliance while the stove door is open. Always keep the
door closed while the stove is in use and make sure the latch is properly fas-
tened.
8.
Light the stove and select combustion level 1.
To prevent permanent damage to the stove, it should be 'run in'
gradually and on a low flame. Keep the flame low for the first four or
five hours, after which the heating output can gradually be increased.
Allow the stove to run constantly for at least three to four hours.
9.
Check that no combustion fumes are escaping into the room. If this is the
case, switch the stove off immediately and repair the leak.
10.
Check that the room blower is running by feeling whether any air is coming
out of the air grille on the front of the stove. This blower only starts when
the stove is hot enough (after approx. 15-20 minutes after the stove has
been lit). If the room blower does not start running, turn off the stove to
prevent it being damaged. Fix the problem before lighting the stove again.
