9. BOILER OPERATION
9.1. Loadingtheboiler
Whenlighngtheboilerfortherstme,
a condensate is formed which is later
drained(thisisnotafaultintheboiler).
When burning moist wood, the boiler
stops working eecvely and fuel
consumpon increases signicantly,
desired output is not achieved and the
operaonallifeoftheboilerbodyandthe
chimneyisshortened.
Fuel is loaded in the upper combuson

Recommendations for fuel loading:
1. Keep air openings (upper chamber)
