operation, make sure in advance that the stove is 

disconnected from the mains electricity supply, by 

turning off the main switch located on the back of the

The stove must be connected to an electrical system 

which is equipped with an earth conductor, as set forth 

in directives 73/23 EEC and 93/98 EEC. 

 

The system must be of adequate rated capacity for the 

stated electrical power of the stove. 

 

Incorrect installation or faulty maintenance (not 

conforming to the requirements set out in this booklet) 

can cause harm to people, animals or property. In such

OPERATING WARNINGS 

 

 

Shut the stove down in the event of a breakdown or 

bad running. 

 

Pellets must not be fed manually into the burner. 

 

Accumulated unburnt pellets in the burner after 

repeated failed ignitions must be removed 

before lighting. 

 

Do not wash the inside of the stove with water. 

 

Do not wash the stove with water. The water could get 

inside the unit and damage the electrical insulation and 

cause electric shocks. 

 

Do not expose your body to hot air for extended 

periods. Do not overheat the room you are in and 

where the stove is installed. This could cause injuries 

and health problems. 

 

Do not expose plants or animals directly to a current of 

hot air. Both plants and animals could be harmed by it. 

 

Do not put anything in the hopper other than wood 

pellets. 

 

Install the stove in a location which is suitable for for 

fire protection, and equipped with all services such as 

air and electricity supply and provision for discharging 

combustion gases. 

 

If there is a fire in the flue pipe, extinguish the stove, 

disconnect it from the power supply and never open 

the door. Then contact the competent authorities. 

 

If the stove and the ceramic cladding are in storage, it 

should be in a place that is free of damp, and they 

should not be exposed to extremes of temperature. 

 

It is inadvisable to base the stove directly on the floor, 

and if the floor is made of flammable material, it must 

be suitably insulated. 

 

Do not light the stove with flammable materials if the 

ignition system breaks down.
