Starting Up The Pellet Stove For The First Time; Important Information For Future Starts - Austroflamm Clou Pellet Benutzerhandbuch

Starting up the pellet stove for the first time

The stove body, many steel and cast iron components and the flue pipes are varnished with heat-re-
sistant paint. When the stove is started up for the first time, the temperature causes the paint to dry and
harden. This results in odours. Please avoid touching the painted surfaces during this phase and ensure
that the room is well ventilated.
In order for the varnish to cure quickly, we recommend running the stove at the highest power setting for
3 - 4 hours when it is first put into operation.
FILLING THE AUGER SHAFT MANUALLY:
Before starting the appliance for the first time, the pellet
auger shaft must be filled manually. To do this, press the
black RESET button (see illustration on the right) continu-
ously for more than 3 seconds. While this button is de-
pressed, the auger continuously feeds pellets into the au-
ger shaft. It takes about 3 minutes for the auger to fill the
shaft. As soon as the first pellets fall into the burn pot, the
manual filling process can be ended.
IMPORTANT: After manually filling the auger, be sure to
empty the burn pot of any pellets that have dropped into it.
You may then start your pellet stove.

Important information for future starts

Every Austroflamm pellet stove is equipped with high-quality Keramott in the firebox. In addition to being
extremely durable, the Keramott always whitens and remains white when the temperature in the firebox is
sufficiently high. To achieve the necessary high temperatures in the firebox for the Keramott to burn
cleanly, you must operate the pellet stove - e.g.: after the automatic start, when the Keramott is heavily
sooted and black - for approx. 1 hour at the heating power setting (5 /AUTO).
Depending on the quality of the pellets used and the heating power setting, the glass of the firebox door
will become soiled during operation. The dirt that accumulates on the glass can simply be wiped away
with soft paper when the stove has cooled down. We also recommend cleaning with Austroflamm glass
cleaner from time to time.
IMPORTANT:
The firebox, the burn pot and the glass of the firebox door must always be cleaned after burning the con-
tents of the pellet hopper.

STARTING UP YOUR STOVE
To start the pellet stove, turn the dialing knob clockwise from the
starting position as far as it will go. The fully automatic start-up
process begins immediately afterwards. This takes about 10
minutes. After that, the stove will burn at the selected heat
output.
