Even when good, standardised pellets are used, it is not unusual for
there to be differences in the combustion speed, ash production and
build-up of debris. If a different type of pellet is used to the ones used
during commissioning, the stove must be set up again by a Qlima-
approved service technician.
Store and transport the pellets in absolutely dry conditions. Wooden
pellets can expand considerably when they come into contact with
water.
Never touch any rotating parts in the pellet hopper. To avoid the risk
of coming into contact with rotating parts in the pellet hopper, it is
recommended that you always completely switch off the stove by
removing the plug from the power socket.
