- wooden pellets comply with 6mm DIN+ / Ö-norm+ / EN+ or equivalent.
13.
- properly compressed, no residual adhesive, resin or additives.
- smooth, shiny surface
- uniform length and low dust content
- residual water content: <10%
- ash content: <0.5%
- good quality pellets sink when placed in water
Poor quality fuel can generally be recognised as follows:
14.
- different diameter than the required 6 mm and/or various diameters
- varying lengths, higher percentage of shorter pellets
- the surfaces exhibit vertical and/or horizontal cracks
- high dust content
- dull surface
- floats in water
Poor fuel may result in:
- poor combustion
15.
- frequent blocking of the combustion chamber
- increased pellet consumption
- low heat output and low efficiency
- soot on glass
- more ash and unburnt granules
- higher maintenance costs

the cover again.

Even when good, standardised pellets are used, it is not unusual for
there to be differences in the combustion speed, ash production and
build-up of debris. If a different type of pellet is used to the ones used
during commissioning, the stove must be set up again by a Qlima-
approved service technician.
Store and transport the pellets in absolutely dry conditions. Wooden
pellets can expand considerably when they come into contact with
water.
Never touch any rotating parts in the pellet hopper. To avoid the risk
of coming into contact with rotating parts in the pellet hopper, it is
recommended that you always completely switch off the stove by
removing the plug from the power socket.
