3. BRIEF INFORMATION ON FUEL - PELLETS

What are pellets?

Wood pellets are a standardised fuel. Every manufacturer must adhere to

certain conditions in order to enable ﬂawless, energy-efﬁcient heating. Pellets

are made from wooden waste, from sawmills and planning workshops, as well

as from residue from forestry operations. These starting products are crushed,

dried, and pressed into pellet fuel without any bonding agent.

ENplus – Pellets

This ENplus standard sets benchmarks in the European pellet market. The

traceability of pellets is ensured thanks to the use of identiﬁcation numbers.

The pellet manufacturers’ production facilities and manufacturing processes

are reviewed every year. A quality assurance system ensures the pellets comply

with the requirements of the new standard and that the conditions for trouble-

free heating are guaranteed

max. length is 45 mm

Your pellet stove is only approved for the burning of pellets of tested quality.

Please ask your pellet stove dealer for tested fuel and a list of monitored fuel

manufacturers.

Note

Only burn pellets that have been inspected according to ENplus - A1. Using

poor quality or prohibited pellet fuel will have a negative effect on the function

of your pellet stove and can also lead to the warranty becoming null and void,

as well as the product liability connected with this.

Note

Burning straw, maize, woodchips etc. is not permitted! Observe waste

incineration legislation! Non-observance of these regulations makes void all

warranty and guarantee claims and may impair the safety of the unit!

Pellet container refilling during operation

Note

CAUTION when ﬁlling! Avoid direct contact between the plastic bag and the

hot stove. Immediately remove all pellets that have fallen on the hot stove or

next to the container!

We recommend always having a suitable amount of pellets in the container

to prevent the ﬁre from extinguishing due to a lack of fuel. Check the level

frequently. However the container lid should be kept closed, except during

ﬁlling.

If you reﬁll the container during operation (open the container lid), the fan will

speed up and the pellet auger will stop; operation will only be continued once

the container lid is closed again (see operating instruction TOUCH DISPLAY)

Pellet container capacity: (see TECHNICAL DATA)

Pellet storage

In order to guarantee problem free burning of the wooden pellets, it is imperative

necessary to store the fuel as dry as possible and free from impurities.

Pellets should not be kept in sacks outdoors or stored in a manner where

they are exposed to the environment. This can lead to blockages in the screw

conveyor.

Note

Screw stoppers are excluded from the warranty.
