1. Safety information
1.1 Safety and precautionary measures
The BioLyt heating boiler reflects the state of the art
and meets all applicable safety regulations.
The boiler is operated using 230 VAC electrical cur-
rent. Improper installation or repair can cause danger
to life from electric shock.The installation may be car-
ried out only by appropriately qualified engineers
Please observe the cautionary notes marked
with a warning symbol.
1.2 Suitable fuels
Pellets are made from 100% seasoned wood resi-
dues (wood shavings, saw mill waste, etc.).The dry
wood residues are ground and formed into wood pel-
lets in special high pressure presses. 3 m3of pellets
are equivalent to approx. 1000 litres of heating oil, 2
kg pellets = 1 litre heating oil.
Pellets must be transported and stored
under totally dry conditions. Pellets
swell up under humid conditions. For
this reason, they must be protected
from moisture until they are burnt, i.e.
during transport and while stored.
The pellets must comply with ÖNORM M 7135, DIN
51731 (class HP5) DINplus or SN 166000 „Swisspel-
lets“.

state)

binder

paint leavings
1. Safety information
1.3 Functional check
The correct functioning of the system and safety de-
vices must be checked and certified annually by a
qualified engineer (ÖNORM B8131, EN 12828).
The condition of the heating water must be checked
every 2 years by a heating engineer (installer) in order
to prevent corrosion damage and sediment accumu-
lation in the heating system and boiler. This check
must be performed annually for heating systems with
more than 1,500 litres of heating water (e.g. systems
incorporating a water storage tank).
Any work involving a change in the water content of
the heating system will require a check of the heating
water within a time period of 4 to 6 weeks.
Corrosion damage and sediment deposits resulting
from inadequate heating water are not covered by
the guarantee and warranty.
1.4. Hazards
1.4.1 Power failure (or fan not functioning)
Maintain the combustion chamber door
closed to avoid the risk of a deflagration
when opening the combustion chamber
door. In case of a power failure during
combustion, the system will perform a
self-test and resume operation automati-
cally.
1.4.2 Burner pot
Never fill the burner pot with pellets by
hand. Too much material in the burner
pot will prevent the pellets from lighting
properly. This can result in excessive
smouldering gas build-up and subse-
quent deflagration.
