3 FUEL
SPECIFICATIONS
3.1 FUEL
SPECIFICATIONS
Pellets (Fig. 3.1) are made from various types of
mechanically compacted wood in compliance with
environmental protection standards. Pellets are
the only fuel that can be used on this type of stove.
The ef
¿
ciency and heat output of the stove may
vary in relation to the type and quality of pellets
used.
The features of the pellets must comply with the
requirements of EN 14961-2 (A1 or A2 category).
The stove has a pellet hopper with the capacity
speci
¿
ed in the technical data table in the Product
Booklet enclosed.
The pellet hopper is located at the top of the stove.
It must always be able to be opened to load the
pellets, and must remain closed during operation.
Due to temperature control requirements, operation
on traditional wood is not possible.
The stove must not be used as a rubbish incinerator.
3.2 STORING THE PELLETS
The pellets must be kept in a place that’s dry and
not too cold.
It’s suggested to keep some sacks of pellets in
the same room where the stove is installed or an
adjacent room, as long as the temperature and
humidity are acceptable.
Damp and/or cold pellets (5°C) reduce the fuel
heat value and mean the burn pot (unburned
material) and
¿
rebox will need to be cleaned more
frequently.
Pay special care when storing and handling the
sacks of pellets. Make sure these are not crushed
to prevent the pellets from becoming sawdust.
Sawdust introduced into the hopper may block the
pellet feed system.
Use of poor quality pellets may affect normal pellet
stove operation and render the warranty void.
4 HANDLING
AND
TRANSPORT
The stove is delivered complete with all parts
included.
Beware of the tendency of the stove to tip over.
The stove’s centre of gravity is towards the front
of the appliance.
Always keep this in mind when moving the stove
on the transport pallet.
When lifting avoid jolts or sudden movements.
Make sure that the forklift capacity exceeds the
weight of the stove being lifted.
The operator of the forklift or other hoisting
equipment is responsible for lifting the loads.
Prevent children from playing with the packaging
components (e.g.
¿
lm and polystyrene). Danger of
suffocation!
