FAULT

POSSIBLE CAUSES

SOLUTIONS

The pellets are not fed 

into the combustion 

chamber 

1. The pellet tank is empty  

2. The feeding screw is locked by 

the sawdust

3. Faulty feeding screw gearmotor

4. Faulty electronic board 

5. One of the manual reset 

thermostats has tripped

1. Fill pellet tank

2. Empty the tank and manually release the feeding 

screw from the sawdust

3. Replace the gearmotor  

4. Replace the electronic board

5. Reset the safety thermostat on the rear of the heat 

stove after ascertaining the cause

The stove does not 

ignite

1. Igniter out of place

2. Power outage

3. Suction on ignition parameter to 

be changed

4. Locked pellet or water probe

5. Faulty fuse

6. Obstruction with nests or 

foreign matter in the flue or 

chimney

1. Check correct position of the igniter in the burn pot

2. Ensure the power plug is plugged in and the main 

switch is in position “I”.

3. Contact the Authorised Service Centre

4. Wait for the pellet or water tank to cool down and re-

ignite the heat stove

5. Replace the fuse

6. remove any foreign matter from the chimney or from 

the flue.

It is recommended to contact a chimney sweep

Faults connected to mechanical or electronic issues

The fire goes out 

or the heat stove 

automatically stops 

1. The pellet tank is empty 

2. The pellets are not fed in

3. The pellet temperature safety 

probe has tripped

4. The door is not properly closed 

or the gaskets are worn

5. Water tank temperature too 

high

6. Inadequate pellets

7. Poor pellet infeed

8. Combustion chamber dirty

9. Exhaust obstructed

10. Faulty flue gas extraction 

motor

11. Faulty or defective pressure 

switch

1. Fill pellet tank. If it is first ignition, the fuel might 

not be able to be fed in time and in the programmed 

quantity when going from the tank to the burn pot

2. If the flame does not appear after repeated 

ignitions, even with regular pellet intake, the problem 

might be due to the heat stove components or poor 

installation

3. Let the stove cool completely, reset the thermostat 

until the block goes out and re-ignite the stove; if the 

problem persists contact the technical support

4. Close the door or replace gaskets with original ones

5. Check correct operation of the water circulation 

pump, possibly replace the component

6. Change type of pellets and switch to pellets 

recommended by the manufacturer

7. Have the technical support check fuel intake

8. Clean the combustion chamber following the 

booklet instructions

9. Clean the flue

10. Check and if necessary replace the motor.

11. Replace the pressure switch

The heat stove works 

for a few minutes then 

it goes out 

1. Ignition stage not concluded

2. Temporary power outage

3. Obstructed flue

4. Faulty or defective temperature 

probes

5. Faulty igniter

1. Perform ignition stage again

2. See previous instructions

3. Clean the flue gas duct

4. Check and replace probes

5. Check and possibly replace the igniter
