6 NIBE PB 10
Installation
Care and maintenance
Pellet firing equipment PB 10 has been developed for mini-
mal maintenance.
The majority of input required is to check the quality and
size of the pellets to be used.
Pellets must be stored in a dry and protected area.
Cleaning/Ash management:
When burning wooden pellets the residue is approx.
0.5 – 1 % ash.
The combustion area in combination with the fuel and the
consumption gives an idea of how often the burner should
be cleaned.
The ash must be stored in a closed container. Clean the
grate after burning about 400 litres of pellets or once a
week. The interval may be prolonged to every other week
depending on the pellet quality.
Q Lower the thermostat and allow the fan the run for 4
minutes (post combustion time).
Q Cut the power and allow the burner to cool down to
prevent the risk of burning injuries.
Q Remove the knobs and pull/pry out the burner from the
boiler, remove any connection cables from the burner.
Q Remove and clean the grate (105).
Q Remove the ash from the burner and any from the
boiler.
Q Remove any cinders from the ignition pod plate (107)
and clean the grate.
Note! The flat part of the grate must be slid in as far as
possible under the ignition pod plate.
Photocell
If necessary, clean the photocell (109) as follows:
Q Pull the photocell straight out.
Q Clean the photocell from soot, use a damp cloth if nec-
essary.
Q Check the position of the compression ring.
Q Reinstall the photocell in the groove.
Maintenance schedule
1. 2 – 4 times/month Remove ash and residue.
(Depending on pellet quality).
2. 2 – 4 times/month Clean the boiler's flues and
convection parts (the more often
this is done
the more economic use be-
comes).
3. 1 time/month Clean drop shaft and drop pipe.
4. 1 time/year Check the burner installation
using special tools (carried out
by the dealer or installer).
Before starting servicing and maintenance
work, power to the installation must be
cut by cutting the main power supply.
WARNING!
!
Welding work must not be carried out on
the installation before the power is cut
and the circuit board removed!
Note!
Care and maintenance
Ash can still contain glowing embers after
a long time. Therefore, always use a non-
inflammable container when emptying ash
and soot.
