GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING!!! You can never be too careful: before
installation, read and observe these basic
rules:
When installing the stove, the regulations in force for flue gas exhaust must be complied with.
Correct installation and periodic maintenance of the product must be entrusted to a specialist
installer, who will verify efficient chimney draught before and during combustion. (Authorised
technician in accordance with EEC 46/90)
Complete cleaning of the stove and the system must be carried out annually by an authorised
service centre. Failure to do so will result in the product warranty being void.
The stove requires a certain amount of air for combustion, and consequently intake of air from
outside of the room where the stove is installed is required, in addition to a supplementary indirect
air intake of at least 180 cm2.
Given the weight of the stove, before installation it must be verified that the place where it will be
positioned is able to bear such weight.
Place a floor protector underneath the stove if the floor is made from flammable material, e.g.
parquetry or carpet (the protector must protrude at least 25/30 cm on all sides of the stove).
It is advisable for safety reasons to leave a distance of at least 20 cm between the hot sides of the
stove and any flammable coverings, e.g. timber panels, wallpaper, etc., or use specific insulating
materials available on the market. The same rule applies to furniture, chairs, curtains, etc. (distance
of 100 cm at the front).
Do not insert the stove in narrow spaces that have not been specially prepared or lean it against
walls that may prevent correct air flow (at least 3 cm).
Absence of chimney draught
(or, for example, obstruction or closing of the burn pot air intake or
the burn pot itself) will alter operation of the stove, and during automatic ignition may cause an
excessive amount of pellets to be fed into the burn pot due to delayed ignition. Excessive smoke in
the combustion chamber may cause the flue gas to self-combust, causing a violent flare; never
open the combustion chamber door in such conditions.
Flammable liquids must never be used to ignite the fire.
Do not touch the glass when the stove is at working temperature, and use caution before touching
it at any time.
Do not allow children to be left alone near the stove when this is on, as all of its hot parts may
cause severe burns.
Do not carry out any work on the stove other than what is needed for normal use or recommended
in this manual to solve minor problems. Always unplug the stove from the power socket before
commencing any work. If it is essential to remove a foreign body that has got stuck, remember to
always unplug the power cable, so as to prevent accidents from occurring due to the stove starting
automatically, if programmed.
Always make sure that the combustion chamber door is tightly closed during ignition and operation
of the stove.
Automatic ignition of the pellets is the most delicate phase, and to ensure this runs smoothly,
always keep the stove and the burn pot clean.
