3 Operating the system
3.1 Initial start-up
NOTE
Conduct the initial start-up with an authorized installer or Fröling’s customer
service department!
NOTE
Escaping condensation during the initial heat-up phase does not indicate a
malfunction.
´ Clean up later using a cleaning rag
IMPORTANT
Heating up the boiler too rapidly during initial start-up.
Equipment damage hazard.
If the output during the heating-up process is too great, the combustion chamber may become
damaged due to drying too rapidly!
Drying fissures, on the other hand, are normal and do not indicate a malfunction!
U Load the boiler with a small amount of waste-wood (max. 10-20% of the fuel loading
chamber)
U Ignite it and allow it to burn up with the central pre-heating chamber door open
U Repeat the procedure several times until the combustion chamber is dried out
3.1.1 Checking the heating system
Observe local regulations, but at the very least:
U Check that there is sufficient water in the heating system.
À See page 16, Checking the system pressure
U Check to see whether the heating system has been completely vented.
U Check that all the safety devices are correctly fitted and are fully efficient.
À See 2.3 Safety devices
U Check that there is sufficient ventilation and venting.
