Your pellet burner is a highly efficient room heater designed to produce a lot of heat to get your home warm and comfortable. Even on the lowest settings it will still produce 2 to 3 kilowatts of heat. The way to control and manage the heat from your pellet burner efficiently is to use suitable temperature and power settings as indicated in the table below.
| TEMPERATURE oC | POWER LEVEL | OUTPUT kW |
| 18-19 | 1 | 2-3 |
| 20-22 | 2 | 3-4 |
| 23-24 | 3 | 4-5 |
| 24-26 | 4 | 6-7 |
| 26+ | 5 | 8-9 |
This list is meant to be a guide only for a 9kW pellet burner. Settings may vary for each machine and installation type.
Here are some useful tips and advice to get you started.
READ THE MANUAL FIRST!
This is the most important piece of advice we can give you. Please DO NOT press buttons at random in the hope that everything will be OK.
Initial Settings
Everyone has different comfort levels, so it is important to experiment during the first few days to determine which settings suit you best. Do not use extreme settings, e.g. do not set the temperature to 30oC with a power level of 1.
Pellet burners typically have 4 or 5 power levels, 1 (low) to 5 (high). To begin with, set the control panel temperature to 23oC and the power level to 2 or 3. Do not make any further adjustments until the temperature in the room has stabilised.
(N.B. The control temperature needs to be above the room sensor temperature or the pellet burner will not start.)
If the room sensor temperature does not reach the set control panel temperature, increase the power level by 1. Do not make any further adjustments until the temperature in the room has stabilised.
If the room temperature is too hot for your liking, reduce the control temperature by 1 or 2 degrees or try reducing the power level by 1. Do not make any further adjustments until the temperature in the room has stabilised.
Modulation Mode
If the temperature sensor reaches the control temperature, the stove will go into modulation mode and automatically reduce the power level to 1 to maintain the temperature. If the temperature subsequently falls, the stove will revert to normal Working Mode and automatically increase the power level again.
Standby Mode (also called ECO Mode)
With Standby Mode switched on, the stove will automatically shut down if the room sensor temperature exceeds the control temperature by 2oC. When the room sensor temperature falls to 2oC below the control temperature, the stove will automatically restart.
(N.B. If your stove shuts down for no apparent reason, there is a good chance Standby Mode is switched on. Leave Standby Mode switched off until you are familiar with the operation of your stove.)
