3.1 OPERATING TECHNOLOGY
Your appliance has been built to fully satisfy all your heating and practical requirements. Top-grade components and functions
managed with microprocessor technology guarantee high reliability and optimal performance.
3.2 THE PELLET
The appliance is fuelled by pellets, that is, cylinders of compressed sawdust; it his allows you to fully enjoy the heat of the flame
without having to manually stoke the combustion.
The pellets have a 6 mm diameter and a length between 10 e 20 mm. They have a max moisture content of 8%; a thermal value of
4000/4500 Kcal/kg and density of 630-640 kg/m³. It must be approved according to UNI EN 14961-2 A1 A2.
It is strictly forbidden to use any pellet type other than that specified above. The use of fuel that does not comply with the
above specifications not only immediately invalidates the warranty for the appliance but can also create dangerous
situations. Do not use the appliance as an incinerator, at the risk of voiding the warranty.
3.3 PELLET REFUELLING
The feedbox is situated in the top part of the appliance. The load capacity
specified in the technical data can vary according to the specific weight of the
pellets.
Take special care when loading the tank as the screw feeder at its base is in
motion. Take care when topping up with fuel as the loading area can get very
hot.
ATTENTION: it is normal to find some pellets remaining in the tank even if the
stove shuts off because the pellets have run out.
Attention: when filling up the tank, take care not to drop any pellets into the
internal parts of the appliance, as, in extreme cases, this could generate live
flames.
The manufacturer recommends emptying the tank and vacuuming the screw
feeder zone once a month and during the summer period.
Only pellets complying with the above specifications are to be loaded into the tank; in no case whatsoever must foreign
substances or objects be introduced into the tank, the brazier or any part of the generator.
