The heating devices (hereinafter referred to as the “stoves”) of ALFA PLAM (hereinafter referred to as ALFA
PLAM) are made and tested in accordance with the safety measures of the applicable regulations of the
European Community.
This Manual is intended for the stove users, installers, operators and persons responsible for the maintenance
of the stoves shown on the first page of the Manual.
If you have any questions related to this Manual, please contact the stove manufacturer or an authorized
service centre. In such a case, you should always state the number of the paragraph or chapter related to the
respective subject, i.e. the unclear subject.
Any printing, translation and reproduction, even partial, of this Manual is subject to the approval of ALFA PLAM, which
means that the said activities must be approved by ALFA PLAM. The technical information, figures and specifications in
this Manual must not be provided to any third party.
IMPORTANT WARNINGS!
IMPORTANT: The connection of the device to the power supply installation must be compulsorily performed by
qualified and authorized persons in accordance with the valid legal regulations.
This device has not been foreseen for application by persons (including children) with reduced physical, motor
and mental abilities or persons with limited knowledge and experiences without the presence of persons
responsible for their safety i.e. care.
Children must not play with these types of devices.
DUAL COMBUSTION SYSTEM
The flame obtained by the normal combustion of wood in the stove emits the same quantity of carbon dioxide (CO
2
) that
would be released as a result of the natural decomposition of wood.
The quantity of carbon dioxide (CO
2
) obtained by the combustion or decomposition of plant mass corresponds to the
quantity of carbon dioxide (CO
2
) that plant mass is capable of obtaining from its surroundings and transforming it into
oxygen for air and carbon of the plant during its whole life.
The use of non-renewable fossil fuels (coal, oil, gas), contrary to what happens with wood, releases into the atmosphere
enormous quantities of carbon dioxide (CO
2
) accumulated for millions of years, thus causing the greenhouse effect. The
use of wood as fuel is therefore perfectly balanced with the environment because wood as renewable fuel is in
ecological harmony with nature.
These goals are completely accomplished through the principle of clean combustion and this is why the designs of the
ALFA PLAM products are based on this principle.
What does clean combustion mean and how does it take place?
The control and adjustment of primary air and the introduction of secondary air generate, i.e. cause secondary
combustion or the so-called post-combustion that produces the secondary flame which by its nature is brighter and
stronger than the main or primary flame. The addition of new oxygen (through the introduced air) enables the additional
combustion of gases that were not completely combusted. This significantly increases the thermal effect and decreases
the harmful emissions of carbon monoxide (CO) because the incomplete combustion is reduced to a minimum. These
are the basic characteristics of the stoves and other products of ALFA PLAM.
