• INSTALLATION
Introduction
The stove position must be chosen in accordance with the environment, the waste pipe and the chimney
flue. Verify with the local authority if there are restrictive rules about the air intake for combustion
purposes and ventilation of domestic environment and about the waste fumes pipes plant with chimney
flue and chimney pot. The manufacturer declines any responsibility in case of installation not in
accordance with the standards in force, with a not correct ventilation system, an electrical connection
not in accordance with the standards in force, or in case of bad use of the appliance.
The installation must be carried out by a qualified technician who will sign a declaration of conformity of
the system and take all responsibility for the installation and good functioning of the appliance. A booklet
of testing and periodic maintenance to be carried out by the installer is issued to the client together with
the stove.
Installation
The appliance should be installed on a floor with
adequate load bearing capacity. If the existing structure
does not satisfy this requirement it is essential to take
appropriate precautions (e.g. install a load distribution
plate). Insert and adjust the 4 feet that are supplied or
adjust them if already installed, so that the base of the
stove becomes detached from the floor. When the
appliance is installed it should be placed so as to allow
easy access for cleaning the stove itself, the exhaust gas
ducts and the chimney flue.
The pellets stove must be installed in isolation, with a
minimum air space of 15 cm to allow an adequate cooling
of the appliance and a good distribution of heat in the
domestic environment. In compliance with fire-prevention
methods there must be a minimum distance of at least 20
cm from flammable objects (sofas, furniture, wooden
covering) to the back and side of the stove and of 80 cm
to the front where the fire door is. If the floor is made of
flammable material you must prepare a coverage made
Pic.10
of non-flammable material (plate of steel, marble, refractory material), which sticks out 50 cm from the
front of the stove where the fire door is and 20 cm from the other sides (see picture 10). You can’t install
the stove in bedrooms or bathrooms.
Electrical connection
IMPORTANT! the appliance must be installed by specialised staff. The electrical connection must be
carried out using the supplied cable, adding an adequate plug on a socket which can take the load factor
and voltage specific of each model as indicated on the technical data table (see pages 20, 21), the plug
must be accessible when the appliance is installed. It is necessary that the fixed power grid is protected
with a single pole switch to assure a complete disconnection with a minimum opening between the
contacts of 3 mm. Make sure there is an efficient grounding, if there isn’t one or it is inefficient you
should provide to have a grounding installed in compliance with the standards in force.
N.B. The stove heating system is protected by fuse located inside the main switch behind the stove.
Always remember to disconnect the power supply before carrying out any maintenance and/or checks!
Use of an external thermostat
The stove is already operating via an ambient probe positioned behind it. It is recommended to check
its position and not to pass it near any heat source. If you want to connect an outside room thermostat
of any type to a stove, use a 2x0.5mm2 cable, make it through the hole beneath the tank and connect
it to the electronic board in the 2-pin "External Thermostat" housing. (see electric diagram p.22). These
operations must be carried out by a specialized technician.
