GENERAL
Firewood is a solid fuel and is a precious source of energy. It readily absorbs moisture and consequently when burnt leaves
evident traces.
Storing the fuel in sheltered, dry and slightly ventilated areas reduces the moisture level and consequently the fouling of
the boiler, improving heat output.
The best combustion techniques (gasification and pyrolysis) are improved by frequent cleaning and correct fuel storage.
Cleaning the inside of the boiler ensures maximum efficiency and limits atmospheric emissions.
INFORMATION ON USING WOOD FUEL
The POWER boilers are hot water generators that operate by gasification of wood, with the combustion chamber kept at
negative pressure and fan-assisted combustion with reverse flame.
TheyfeatureahighqualityandextremelythickENGJL200cast-ironbody.
The large heat exchange surface, the fins in the flue gas path and the burner made from refractory material ensure
exceptional resistance to corrosion and very high efficiency that remains constant over time (self-cleaning effect).
The appliances can independently serve central heating systems or combined central heating and domestic hot water
circuits, when connected to a storage cylinder.
On their own or combined with another heat generator they can supply an energy accumulator.
The control panel includes all the safety and control devices, in compliance with the legislation and standards in force, and
has been designed expressly to guide the user in the operation of the boiler.
The doors can be opened in either direction, and leave the factory with opening to the right, however, if required, the
direction can be changed.

Functional notes
- Constant operation at steady temperature: the appliance always operates at the set temperature so as to effectively supply the
system connected and any storage cylinder. “Total shutdown” logic is not adopted.
- Activate loading procedure (APC): pressing APC starts the fan, thus preventing gas and smoke from being released into the room
when opening the loading door.
- Load wood indicator light (local and remote): the SCL signal warns that the appliance has run out of wood and that a new load
is required. This is featured on the control panel and can also be available as a remote control signal.
