1. Operating instructions

1.1 Introduction

Dear Customer,

Thank you for choosing a FERROLI boiler featuring advanced design, cutting-edge technology, high reliability and qual-

ity construction. Please read this manual carefully since it provides important information on safe installation, use and

maintenance.

FG is a wood-burning steel boiler, with total gasification. It exploits the principle of reverse flame combustion, with grad-

ual burning of the wood, to the advantage long operation times before refuelling. In fact, thanks to a variable-speed fan

located at the back of the boiler, combustion occurs in a negative pressure. the lit wood, placed in a holder above a

special grill, develops a particular type of combustion which, thanks to the high temperature determined by a balanced

supply of primary combustion air from above and secondary air injected through the separation grill, turns the cellulose

into simpler compounds that burn in the underlying combustion chamber with a flame similar to that of natural gas, with

efficiencies exceeding 85%. In the wood loading stage the fan is activated when the door is opened, thus preventing

smoke from escaping.

The outer casing consists of painted steel panels, insulated internally with mineral wood to ensure optimum insulation

of the boiler body. A safety exchanger for eliminating the excess heat can be installed by request.
