Check that no combustion fumes are escaping into the room. If this is the
case, switch the stove off immediately and repair the leak.
Check that the room blower is running by feeling whether any air is coming
out of the air grille on the front of the stove. This blower only starts when
the stove is hot enough (after approx. 15-20 minutes after the stove has
been lit). If the room blower does not start running, turn off the stove to
prevent it being damaged. Fix the problem before lighting the stove again.
This stove is fitted with a blower that circulates air in the room. When
the blower is running, air is sent along the hot surfaces inside the stove,
heated up and blown back into the room as warm air. Never allow the
stove to burn if the room blower is not running.
Make sure the stove has the correct air/fuel ratio at each of the five combus-
tion levels by checking the flame pattern at each one. See figure 1. Adjust
the air/fuel ratio if necessary. Only a Qlima service technician may set the air/
fuel ration.
Check the flue draught with a pressure gauge. Set the flue choke valve if
installed.
After adjusting the flue choke valve, the position of the valve may only
be changed in the event of an emergency, such as a chimney fire.
Check that flue gas temperature remains below 220ºC at each of the five
combustion levels. If the flue gas temperature at any of the five combustion
levels is higher than 220ºC, the stove must be reset at the level in question
by reducing the pellet feed in conjunction with the speed of the flue gas
blower and/or increasing the speed of the room blower.
Having the stove commissioned by an approved Qlima technician carries
the following benefits:
• There will be less soot build-up so the flue and the stove will stay
cleaner for longer.
• The stove will consume less fuel.
• The stove will work at optimum efficiency.
• The stove's components will be put under less stress, which will extend
its life.
• The stove will require fewer services and less maintenance.
Once set, the stove is ready for use.
The ash drawer and brazier must be cleaned before every start-up. See
section 6.4. In addition, the stove door must be closed.
