Fill fuel tank
Unsuitable fuels can be
dangerous.
The tank may only be filled when the
heat exchanger is cold.
Fuel oil and diesel oil begin to congeal
due to the separation of paraffin at
temperatures near freezing point. This
can cause problems when starting the
burner.
To avoid such problems:
Add anti-congealant to the fuel as
N
directed by the manufacturer
Bio-diesel oil must comply with the
DIN 51606 standard.
Organic bio-diesel oil may cause the
burner to malfunction after prolonged
storage, in the presence of extreme
temperatures or if transported
incorrectly.

N
Fill with fuel oil grade EL or diesel oil
N
as defined by DIN 51603. Organic
bio-diesel oil to DIN 51606 may also
be used.

Add scale inhibitor
Under normal operating conditions it is
not necessary to descale the machine if
STIHL scale inhibitor is used
consistently STIHL scale inhibitor is
specially designed for
STIHL detergents.

water
Measure the water hardness or

contact your water supply company
to establish the water hardness
range
Depending on water hardness – see
table:
Mix scale inhibitor at a ratio of A : B
