Room temperature and humidity
These appliances are designed for use in rooms with a normal humidity and at
temperatures of approxi5⁰ C to 30⁰C. The appliances are not suitable for use
in damp rooms or for frost protection.
Sounds
Depending on the model some ovens may produce sounds when in use. These
sounds are either from the ventilator, the engine or possible breakdown sounds.
Pellets may also be heard dropping into the fire grate.
Weather conditions
For safe use of the pellet oven it is important to ensure that the chimney can
produce the desired draught. This could be a problem in the transition period
(autumn and spring) or during bad weather conditions. (strong winds, mist etc.)
System requirements
Among other things, the correct settings of a pellet oven are strongly dependent on
the chimney and the flue pipe. Further on in this manual a few important
requirements are mentioned, though these may not be complete as the working of a
oven much depends on personal circumstances.
Good advice from a specialized company or a specialized engineer is always
important.

Type of combustion
Pellets are a solid fuel. Lighting this kind of fuel takes more time than lighting
liquid fuel (for example oil fuel or gas). After starting up the stove the lighting
process takes up to 10 minutes until flames appear. After the warming up
process is completed the appliance adapts automatically to the required
settings. Switching off the oven also takes a few minutes before all the pellets
are burned and the flame is extinguished. The smoke extraction fan is
programmed to continue operating so that any smoke left is sucked out through
the chimney. At the same time the fire grate is cooled down ready to be lit
again.
Description of use
A Globe-Fire pellet oven is a special appliance which is only suitable for
domestic use and only suitable for burning wood pellets of the previously
mentioned standard. When in use the appliance produces warm air in the area
where it is standing. The appliance also radiates heat to the surfaces around it
and to the stove window. The wood pellets are transported automatically to the
fire grate and are burned by an electrical ignition.
Depending on the selected level the correct amount of pellets will be
transported to the fire grate. A regulated amount of air necessary for combustion
is sent to the fire grate. The fuel is burned in the fire grate and flue pipe,
supplying heat to the surroundings. The fumes that are released are drawn up
through the chimney to the outside with the support of the smoke extraction fan.
At certain recommended moments the ash and soot must be removed from the
fire grate. The stove window must also be cleaned. As mentioned before,
regular servicing is necessary.
A dirty stove window is not a defect and is not a reason for restitution.
