3 FUEL CHARACTERISTICS
3.1 Fuel characteristics
The pellet (
) is a compound made from
various types of wood pressed together with
mechanical procedures in compliance with envi-
ronment protection regulations, and it is the only
fuel required for this type of appliance.
Fig. 2
The efficiency and thermal potential of the appli-
ance may vary according to the type and quality
of the pellets used.
We recommend the use of class A1 pellets (ISO
17225-2 standard, ENplus A1, DIN Plus or NC
444 category "High Performance NF Pellets
Biofuel Quality").
The appliance is equipped with a pellet container
tank of the capacity indicated in the character-
istic data table in the attached Product Booklet.
The loading compartment is positioned at the top, it
must always be open for loading of the pellets and
must remain closed while the appliance is operating.
It is prohibited to use the appliance as
an incinerator to burn rubbish.
3.2 Pellet storage
Pellets must be kept in a dry place, not
too cold and the bags must be kept
sealed.
It is advisable to keep a number of bags of pellets
in the room where the appliance is being used or
in an adjacent room provided it is at the correct
temperature and humidity and at a safe distance
(at least one meter) away from heat sources.
Wet and/or cold pellets (5 °C) reduce the ther-
mal potential of the fuel resulting in the need
for more cleaning maintenance of the burn pot
(unburned material) and of the fire box.
Pay particular attention to the stor-
age and handling of pellet bags. Their
crushing and the formation of sawdust
must be avoided.
If sawdust is placed in the appliance tank it could
cause the pellet loading system to block.
The use of poor quality pellets can compromise
the normal functioning of the appliance and lead
to losing the guarantee.
