PELLET FUNCTIONING
Before lighting the pellet fireplace, a few preliminary operations are necessary:
1. Move the cast iron grate (
A
) over the pellet burner.
2.
Clean the fire bed and burn pot and empty the ash pan.
3. Make sure the pellets pot is well positioned (see pag. 32).
4. Make sure the ash pan and the door are properly closed
5.
Check that the electronic controller is set to pellet mode, otherwise the fireplace will not
light. If the electronic controller is in wood mode, set it to pellet mode.
6. Check that there are pellets in the hopper, otherwise top up with pellets of the
recommended type (if the pellets are below the level of the sensors, the fireplace will
not light).
Make sure the pellet hopper is firmly closed, otherwise the pellet load consent,
provided by the micro fitted under the cover, will be inhibited.
7.
The PELLET LOAD function is only to be performed prior to first start-up and only when
the pellet in the hopper is finished. Never light the fireplace if the quantity of pellets is
more than that indicated in
F
ig

.
In all other cases, DO NOT LOAD MANUALLY (PELLET LOAD function), because it is done
automatically.
Now press the ON button to start the ignition phase.
On pressing the button for lighting, the electronic controller AUTOMATICALLY feeds the burn
pot with pellets up to 2 cm below the rim (

);
the electrical element then starts the pellet
igniting stage. To achieve correct ignition, the amount of pellet, automatically loaded in the
firebox during the ignition cycle, can be seen in

FIRST START-UP
•
Remove all the documentation and accessories from the fireplace.
•
Read the user instructions on fuel and other related aspects very carefully.
•
The commissioning service has to be done by a specialised Technical Service Center. All claddings must be dry to
prevent cracks or damage.
•
During first start-up, the combustion chamber temperature must be increased slowly, then load the maximum quantity
of wood to create complete combustion to reach high temperatures.
•
Unpleasant odours are produced the first time the fireplace is lit. There are absolutely no health risks. This is why it is
necessary to make sure there is sufficient ventilation in the installation room.
