8. Fuel
The only fuel that must be used to operate the compact is pellet. No other fuel may
be used.
Use only pellets certified to EN 14961-2 grade A1 with a diameter of 6 mm and a
length that can range from 10 to 30 mm.
The maximum permitted moisture content of the pellets is 8% of their weight. To
ensure good combustion, the pellets must maintain these characteristics, so it is
recommended to keep them in a dry environment.
The use of different pellets decreases the efficiency of the compact pellet and
causes poor combustion processes.
As a recommendation, always opt for certified pellets, not forgetting that
before buying large quantities you should always test a sample.
The physicochemical properties of pellets (namely the gauge, friction, density and
chemical composition) can vary within certain tolerances and according to each
manufacturer. This fact can cause changes in the feeding process and consequently
different dosages (with more or fewer pellets).
The compact allows the adjustment of the pellet dose in the start-up phase
and in the power steps by ± 25%.
WARNING!
The device may NOT be used as an incinerator.
