1.8 Optimising combustion and damper use
This stove/boiler offers excellent performance. When using pellets, for optimum operation without overloading the burner respect the
following rules, making use of the “pellet feed control”.
• Using the damper
The damper can be set to 4 positionsi: I, II,III and IIII. It allows the correct adjustment of combustion according to flue draught (which also
varies according to atmospheric conditions). The user should become familiar with damper use in order to optimise stove operation. To
adjust the damper:
• turn the knob until the notch is in the desired position.
Careful adjustment of the damper is all-important for correct stove operation.
Step 1
: manually load a small quantity of pellets using the
command on the electronic controller (see F
ig
. 1 ). Do not
exceed the recommended quantity and make sure the burn pot
is secured by forcing it with the special screw.
Step 2
: carry out lighting. At the end of automatic loading, in
the electrical element lighting stage, the quantity of pellets must
never exceed the level indicated (see F
ig
. 2 ) in order to avoid
violent ignition.
Step 3
: adjust the quantity of pellets according to their type and
size using the feed control (see F
ig
. 3 ) and respecting the weights
given in the technical data; set the electronic controller to medium
power; close the damper and the Caldo Control; set the combustion
air and the pellets to 0%. The flame should be as in F
ig
. 4 . While
burning, the pellets must always remain below the upper holes of
the burn pot and the flame must be clear.
Step 4
: when unburned fuel remains in the burn pot, use the
pointed end of the poker to break up the encrustations and then
the flat part to remove it and clean the combustion air holes
(see F
ig
. 5 ).
Step 5
: in case of incorrect combustion or lighting problems,
clean the burn pot, following the procedure in the quick
reference notice.
Step 6
: about every 20 days, remove the upper baffle and clean it.
The combustion air percentage (%) must not be set below
-5%, to avoid possible spontaneous combustion, dirtying
the boiler excessively and blackening the glass
(see F
ig
. 6 ).

ADVICE
If smoke escapes even when
opening the door slowly, with
damper open and the flue
complying with that given in
chap. 2.1, the precut part of the
smoke baffle shown in the figure
can be removed.
CLOSED POSITION (I):
Operation in pellet mode only (with optimum draught)
HALF-CLOSED POSITION (II o III):
• During first lighting with pellets
• For automatic switching from wood to pellets
• Operation in pellet mode with smoke on lighting and/or
glass very dirty
•
Operating with a small quantity of wood.
OPEN POSITION (IIII):
• Wood mode
• Operation in pellet mode with non-optimum draught
