1. Important information for the Stove User
•
The information in this manual is of a general nature. National and European standards, local and building
regulations, and fire safety provisions must be observed.
•
Please read this manual carefully before installing, operating and working on the stove. Keep the manual in
a safe place, and ensure that it is available at all times.
•
Compliance with the regulations contained in this manual guarantees safety for both individuals and equip-
ment, economical operation and a long service life. The stove has been designed according to EN 14785
and EN13240 standards.
•
Original parts may not be modified or replaced with parts from other manufacturers. In doing so, the war-
ranty is forfeited.

When carrying out work on, or intervening in, the stove, the power supply must be disconnected.
•
All diagrams and drawings supplied are for explanatory purposes only; the manufacturer pursues a policy of
continuous improvement and updating of the product, and may make changes without prior notice.

ners.

→
Fire hazard!
•
While your heating appliance is in operation, the use of highly flammable and explosive materials in the
same or adjacent rooms is prohibited.
•
It must be ensured that there is a sufficient supply of combustion air and that the flue gases are discharged
safely. Therefore, always check whether the chimney is clogged, particularly after a longer period of inactiv-
ity.
•
In the transition period, i.e. when outside temperatures are higher, a sudden rise in temperature can lead to
disruptions in the chimney draught causing the heating gases to be incompletely extracted. In such a case,
switch off the stove.
•
The convection grille must never be closed, not even partially.
•
Ventilation devices that are operated together with the fireplace in the same room, or in a group of rooms,
can cause problems.
•
The stove must be cleaned and serviced regularly (see section Cleaning and Maintenance ).
•
Repairs to your stove may only be carried out by qualified personnel trained by the manufacturer.
•
Replace spare parts as required and subject to condition. Check all electrical and electronic components
regularly for damage or wear.
•
Safety devices must not be bypassed.
•
If the wrong fuel is used, or if the fuel is too damp, the chimney may catch fire due to deposits in the chim-
ney. In such an event, close all air openings on the fireplace immediately, and inform the fire brigade. After
the fire has burned down, have the chimney checked by a specialist for cracks or leaks.
•
Under certain conditions, pellet appliances are also suitable for multiple flues in chimneys. Your master
chimney sweep will inform you of these requirements and carry out the appropriate inspection.
•
Please note that the installation room must have at least one door / window leading to the outside, or be di-
rectly connected to such a room. Other fireplaces and extractor hoods may not be operated with fireplaces
dependent on ambient air.
