FUEL
• Use top-quality pellets because they have influence in the calorific value and in ash remains.
• Not adequate pellets cause a bad combustion, a frequent burning pot obstruction and exhaust conduits obstruction. Further it
decreases the calorific value, soils the glass and increases consumptions and ash and unburnt granules quantity.
Humid pellets cause a bad combustion and running, so please assure you that they are stored in dry places and
far at least one meter from the stove and/or any other source of heat.
• It is advisable to try different type of pellets available on the market and to choose that which gives the best performance.
Do not use pellets other than natural wood because they may contain very aggressive chemical components which corrode metal.
• Pellets of variable quality and size are available on the market: the smaller the pellet, the greater the fuel supply, resulting in
poor combustion
Depending on the type of pellets it could be necessary a parameters adjustment, please contact an Authorized
Assistance Service.
The main quality certifications for pellets currently available on the European market guarantee that the fuel complies with class
A1/A2 according to ISO 17225-2. These certifications include, for example, ENPlus, DINplus, Ö-Norm M7135, and specifically assure
that the following characteristics are complied with:
• calorific value: 4.6 - 5.3 kWh/kg.
• Water content: ≤ 10% of the weight.
• Percentage of ash: max 1.2% of the weight (A1 less than 0.7%).
• Diameter: 6±1/8±1 mm.
• Length: 3-40 mm.
• Content: 100% untreated wood without the addition of binding agents.
The company recommends using certified fuel for its products (ENPlus A1, DINplus, Ö-Norm
M7135).
The use of pellets that do not comply with the characteristics specified previously may compro-
mise the operation of your product and therefore invalidate the warranty and product liability.

It is necessary to avoid to fill the hopper with the pellet when the stove is running.
• Do not get the bag of pellet in contact with hot stove surfaces.
• Do not empty the hopper with remaining fuels (unburnt pellet) from the burning pot coming from ignition waster.
