There are numerous types and qualities of wooden pellets on the market, so it is important to choose one that con-
tains no glue, resins or chemicals and may cause early clogging of the smoke discharge, the formation of corrosive
gases, loss of efficiency and the emission of polluting substances into the atmosphere. The pertinent regulations
state that the products working with this fuel must use good quality, compact and not very floury pellets. Please ask
your retailer for a suitable type of pellets,
complying with ISO 17225-2 standard
.
The characteristics of the wooden pellets to use are as follows: 6÷8 mm in diameter, about 5÷20 mm in length, 8%
humidity and 18200 kJ/kg calorific value.
The Manufacturer accepts no responsibility for the use of FUELS OTHER THAN AS STATED or the
possible malfunction of the unit.
Stack the fuel bags at at least 1 metre from the equipment.
Using biomass (corn, grapeseed, other) as fuel, it is important to ensure that the mixture is correct
for the stove to operate correctly. Do not exceed 60% corn in the mixture with the wooden pellets.
Other chopped fuels (i.e.: olive stones, shells, etc.) can be used "unmixed" with the wooden pellets,
but they must have a minimum diameter of 4mm. To get a correct mixture, weigh each fuel with a
set of scales having a 100g precision factor and mix them together in a container outside and not
inside the stove container, since it is not possible to obtain the necessary homogeneity inside.

Setting the fuel
Before switching the unit on, select the type of fuel to use from the display menu, following the procedure described
below:
-
Select "Fuel 1" to use certified wooden pellets (ISO EN 17225-2) or good quality pellets with little humidity (<13%)
and low ash content.
-
Select "Fuel 2" to use wooden pellets with a high degree of humidity (>13%) and high ash content.
-
Select "Fuel 3" to use corn (max humidity 15%) mixed with wooden pellets
-
Select "Fuel 4" to use biomass with humidity lower than 15%, such as chopped or whole olive stones (Ø 4mm
minimum), almond-hazelnut-pine nut shells (Ø 4mm minimum), pelletized vine shoots, cherry stones (Ø 4mm
minimum), miscanthus pellets, agripellets.
-
"Fuel 5" is at the technician's/dealer's discretion for settings to be used with unsuitable fuels or fuels that have
not been mentioned previously.
For the stove to work correctly and performance to be high, it will therefore be necessary to change
the list of fuels, selecting the most suitable.
Do not exceed 60% corn in the mixture with the wooden pellets. Other chopped fuels (i.e.: olive
stones, shells, etc.) can be used "unmixed" with the wooden pellets, but they must have a minimum
diameter of 4mm.
