2 Safety notes – Residual risks Modification of the specified operating values will affect the heating system’s control programme and could lead to malfunctions. Only trained maintenance and operating personnel may undertake modifications to the operating values. For more information on fuel, see chapter “3 Mode of operation”, section “3.4 Fuel quality requirements”.
2 Safety notes – Warnings and safety symbols used Danger! Danger of explosion due to carbon monoxide Filling the burner pot with pellets manually may result in too much fuel in the burner pot. Consequently the pellets will not be optimally ignited and too much low temperature carbonisation gas may result which can lead to an explosion.

2 Safety notes – Warnings and safety symbols used Warning! Danger of fire Working in areas marked with this symbol can lead to a fire. Danger! Danger of asphyxiation due to lack of oxygen When working in areas marked with this symbol, there is a danger of asphyxiation due to high concentrations of carbon monoxide.
2 Safety notes – Safety instructions for the pellet storage room 2.4 Safety instructions for the pellet storage room After the storage room is filled, odourless carbon monoxide may form and a lack of oxygen may arise.

4 Planning and installation – Connections These requirements correspond to chimneys of the type according to DIN EN 13384-1: 2003-03 “Thermal and fluid dynamic calculation methods”. Insulated chimneys used today, consisting of a fireclay or stainless steel pipe with an insulating jacket and cladding bricks (three shell design), are to be assigned to groups I - II.
4 Planning and installation – Connections To compensate for irregularities in the flue draught of the chimney, HDG Bavaria recommends installing an auxiliary air unit in the flue gas pipe, or even better, in the chimney itself as shown in Figure 4/3 - Chimney connection.
