Before igniting.
The fi rst start up must, without fail, be performed by DEALER.
You must consult the DEALER in your area when igniting the
boiler-fi replace for the fi rst time, in order for the boiler-fi replace
to be calibrated according to the type of pellets and installation
conditions
The DEALER must also:
- Verify that the hydraulic system is correctly installed and is
equipped with an expansion tank that is suffi ciently large to
guarantee safety.
The presence of a tank within the thermal stove does NOT
guarantee appropriate protection from thermal expansion
occurring in the whole system.
Therefore the installer must assess whether an additional
expansion tank is needed, depending on the type of system
installed.
- Connect the electrical power to the boiler-fi replace and imple-
ment a cold test (to be carried out by the DEALER).
- Fill the system using the fi lling tap (it is recommended not to
exceed a pressure of 1,5 bar).
When fi lling, 'bleed' the pump and the relief tap.
Attention:
During the fi rst start-up phase, discharge the air/water using the
manual valves (V) located above the boiler (see fi gure at the
side).
This operation must also be repeated during the fi rst days
of use and whenever the system is reloaded, even partially. The
presence of air within the pipelines can hinder the unit's proper
functionality.
There may be a slight smell of paint the fi rst few times it is
ignited, however, this will disappear quickly.
Before igniting you must check:
• that installation is correct
• the power supply
• that the door closes properly to a perfect seal
• that the combustion chamber is clean
• that the display is on stand-by (time and temperature set).
Note: When producing hot sanitary water, power to the radia-
tors temporarily decreases.
NOTE regarding the fuel.
IDROPELLBOX is designed and programmed to burn wood
pellets with 6 mm diameter. Pellets are a type of fuel in the
form of little cylinders, made from compacted sawdust,
compressed under high pressure with no adhesives or foreign
materials. They are sold in bags of 15 kg.
For the boiler-stove to function properly, you MUST NOT
burn anything else in it. Using other materials (including
wood) will render the warranty null and void. Such use is
detected by laboratory analyses.
Edilkamin has designed, tested and programmed their boiler-
stoves to guarantee the best performance when pellets with
the following characteristics are used:

ATTENTION:
venting the boiler through the appropriate valves (V), water
leaving may fall on the circuit board or other electrical com-
ponents, creating a hazard to persons and product malfunction.
Always direct the "adjustable" valve exhaust forward and make
sure that water does not run over electrical components.
The photo shows the correct position for the metal guard provi-
ded for the pellet chute.
- diameter: 6 millimetres
- maximum length: 40 mm
- maximum moisture content: 8%
- calorifi c value: at least 4300
If pellets with different characteristics are used, the boiler-
stoves must be recalibrated – a similar procedure to that carried
out by the DEALER when the boiler-stove is ignited the fi rst
time. Using unsuitable pellets may: decrease effi ciency; cause
malfunctions; stop the boiler-stove from functioning due to
clogging, dirt on the glass, unburnt fuel, etc.
A simple, visual analysis of the pellets may be carried out:
Good quality: smooth, uniform length, not very dusty.
Poor quality: with longitudinal and transverse cracks, very
dusty, various lengths and mixed with foreign matter.
