AIRBILO WOOD-PELLETS HEATING OPERATION
This guide is also available in the touchscreen.
See instructions for first lighting and firing in the owner's manual for wood-fired heating pages 52 and 53.
The AirBilo furnace operates normally with a factory pre-programming and the degree of temperature you have saved in your
thermostat or your thermostats.
In a normal wood-pellets heating cycle, wood will burn first for about 2 to 3 hours, always conditional on the quality of the wood
used. After 2 h 30, automatically the burner will start; the air shutter will open to burn remaining wood and the embers before
going to pellet heating cycle. The ignition cycle of pellet heating will begin at the fifth hour. The inputs of the pellets into the
combustion chamber are carried out by sequence and not continuously, to always maintain the required temperature.
"RESET DOOR": (see figure at next section: Filling pellet ...)
When opening the door, the smoke evacuator is automatically turned on. NOTE that each opening / closing of the door returns
to wood heating cycle since it assumes you have made a filling of wood in the combustion chamber. You can by-pass to pellet
heating mode with the "RESET DOOR" button: OPEN/CLOSE the door and hold upwards approximately ten (10) seconds the
switch of the same name on the right side of the furnace. The heating cycle starts in the pellets mode according to the required
temperature after the burning of wood. Almost all alarms need an OPEN/CLOSE DOOR to reboot system and RESET DOOR for
immediate pellet heating.
Always according to the requested temperature, if pellet heating stops and the electric element option is available, the system will
switch to electric mode again according to the recorded degree to maintain the required temperature.
FILLING PELLET CHUTE (FALL)
Normally done during the first use.
1- Fill the pellet hopper.
2- Open the furnace door.
3- HOLD continuously upwards for about TEN (10) to TWENTY MINUTES the "RESET DOOR" button. This will
activate the hopper auger.
4- Release the button when pellets start falling in the combustion chamber.
5- Close the door.
The preprogramming of the furnace will operate the pellet heating FIVE (5) HOURS after EACH door opening / closing of
the furnace.
Or:
6- After closing the door, keep upwards approximately TEN (10) SECONDS the "RESET DOOR" button.
The ignition pellet cycle will begin according to the heating temperature demand.
Programming the thermostat or thermostats
See thermostat connecting schematics options in the furnace and pellet hopper installation guide. (Pages 59 and 60)
One (1) Thermostat :
1- Save the wanted temperature degree.
The furnace will operate according to this temperature for all heating types: wood or pellets or electric element if you have that
option. The pre-programming of the furnace will start pellet heating FIVE (5) HOURS after EACH opening / closing of the furnace
door. The electric element will operate to maintain temperature if there is a lack of fuel or if the pellet heating is in alarm (ONLY IF
YOU HAVE THE ELECTRIC ELEMENT OPTION).
Two (2) Thermostats: differential of 2° between each thermostat : example wood = 24°C and pellet = 22°C
1- Save the wanted temperature degree on the thermostat for wood heating
2- Save the temperature degree for pellet heating at 2° less than the wood heating degree.
Operating is the same as when there is only one thermostat. See previous notes (One thermostat).
Three (3) Thermostats see next page
