WOOD WORKING
This time, when the stove is in wood mode, it is only possible to watch on display the overheating alarm reached inside the pellet tank
whenever the user has the stove connected to the electrical network and it has been ignited from the display. Otherwise, the safety device will
not show the alarm signal.
