ADVICE AND RECOMMENDATIONS.

2.1. All local regulations, including those referring to national and European standards must be met when installing
the boiler.
2.2. In order to prevent the risk of accident, a correct installation must be done following the instructions of this
manual. Your ECOFOREST distributor will be available to help you and provide you information related to
codes, assembly and installation norms in your area.
2.3. As ECOFOREST do not have direct control on the installation of your stove, ECOFOREST do not guarantee it
and do not bear the responsibility of any damage that could result from a bad use or a bad installation.
2.4. We carefully recommend the heat calculation to be made by a qualified heating engineer.
2.5. We recommend that a confirmed specialist sets up your pellets stove.
2.6. Maintenance work to be carried out at the end of the season or for every 500 kg of fuel burned, as well as any
repairs or equipment modifications, must be performed by authorized personnel.
2.7. The boiler must be installed on floors of sufficient bearing capacity and, if the existing construction does not
allow this, the floor must be adapted and made suitable, for example by fitting a load distribution plate.
2.8. Never use petrol, fuel for lanterns, kerosene nor any similar liquid. Keep this kind of fuel away from your boiler.
2.9. Do not try to turn on your boiler if some glass is broken.
2.10. Make sure the glass door of the fireplace is well closed while the boiler is in operation; also check the cleaning
hatches (if you have touched them).
2.11. Unauthorized modifications are forbidden. Use only spare parts provided by Ecoforest (see exploded view).
2.12. Do not overload the boiler; continuous heating efforts might cause premature aging and damage paint (it is
recommended not to exceed 250°C for gas outlet temperature).
2.13. Do not use the boiler as a burner.
2.14. Consider the configuration of the ANTI-ICING and ANTI-LOCK menus (see user manual). If the stove is not being
used over long periods of time and there is a risk of it freezing, empty the device to avoid breakage.
2.15. To prevent possible electrical shocks, only trained personnel should have access to the sides and the back of
the boiler.
2.16. The hydraulic circuit must always keep open a dissipation circuit greater than 30% of the total installation.
2.17. It is highly advisable to perform regular checks to assess the quality of the water in the system, especially if
more water is being added. If you use a water treatment product, make sure it is compatible with the materials
used in the heating installation. To do so, please contact the product's manufacturer.
2.18. In order to refill the stove with fuel, the user must open the hopper lid and empty the contents of the fuel tank
carefully, to prevent it from overflowing.
