EdilKamin ALPEN Installations-, Betriebs- Und Wartungsanleitung Seite 35

1st ignition/test by the Edilkamin authorised Dealer
Start-up must be carried out as prescribed by standard UNI
10683.
This standard indicates the control operations to be carried out
in situ, aimed at ascertaining correct system function.
Edilkamin's Technical Assistance staff (CAT) will also ca-
librate the boiler-stove based on the pellet type used and the
installation conditions.
Edilkamin's Technical Assistance staff (CAT) must commis-
sion the boiler in order for the guarantee to be activated.
The DEALER must also:
- Verify that the hydraulic system is correctly installed and is
equipped with an expansion tank that is suf ciently large to
guarantee safety.
The presence of a tank within the boiler-stove does
NOT guarantee appropriate protection from thermal
expansion occurring in the whole system.
Therefore the installer must assess whether an ad-
ditional expansion tank is needed, depending on the
type of system installed.
- Connect the electrical power to the boiler and implement a
cold test (to be carried out by the DEALER).
- Fill the system using the lling tap (it is recommended not to
exceed a pressure of 1,5 bar).
When lling, 'bleed' the pump and the relief tap.
There may be a slight smell of paint the rst few times it is
ignited, however, this will disappear quickly.
Before igniting you must check:
• that installation is correct
• the power supply
• that the door closes properly to a perfect seal
• that the combustion chamber is clean
• that the display is on stand-by (time and temperature set).
FILLING THE PELLET HOPPER
the hopper lid opens and closes with a practical click-clack
system. simply apply slight pressure to the front part of the
*
cast iron lid ( g. 1-2).
ATTENTION:
Use the glove supplied when lling the stove whilst it is
running and therefore is hot.
NOTE regarding the fuel.
Boiler-stove is designed and programmed to burn wood pel-
lets with 6 mm diameter. Pellets are a type of fuel in the form
of little cylinders, made from compacted sawdust, compressed
under high pressure with no adhesives or foreign materials.
They are sold in bags of 15 kg.
For the boiler to function properly, you MUST NOT burn
anything else in it. Using other materials (including wood)
will render the warranty null and void. Such use is detected
by laboratory analyses.
Edilkamin has designed, tested and programmed their boiler-
stoves to guarantee the best performance when pellets with
the following characteristics are used:

ATTENTION:
During the rst ignition perform the air/water relief operation
using the manual valve (V) on the front of the top.
The operation must be repeated during the rst days of use
and in the event the plant has only been partially reloaded.
The presence of air in the ducts does not allow for proper opera-
tion.
The valve is provided with rubber tubes to facilitate vent opera-
tions.
- diameter: 6 millimetres
- maximum length: 40 mm
- maximum moisture content: 8%
- calori c value: at least 4300
If pellets with different characteristics are used, the boiler-
stoves must be recalibrated – a similar procedure to that
carried out by the DEALER when the boiler is ignited the rst
time. Using unsuitable pellets may: decrease ef ciency; cause
malfunctions; stop the boiler-stove from functioning due to
clogging, dirt on the glass, unburnt fuel, etc.
A simple, visual analysis of the pellets may be carried out:
Good quality: smooth, uniform length, not very dusty.
Poor quality: with longitudinal and transverse cracks, very
dusty, various lengths and mixed with foreign matter.
