Benjamin combo boiler - can i use without domestic water?

[Bkd]

Hi,
I’m new to the boiler world. I just moved into an off grid house that has a Benjamin wood/oil combo boiler. My question is do I need to have domestic water in the system before I fire up the wood portion ?If that coil is empty will it be damaged by the heat? I’d rather not fill up the water system until I get the heat figured out.

Thanks for your time,
Bethan

It should be ok, I think.

Good luck with it, your post brought 17 years of bad memories back.
