SOFT 80, SOFT 100 PELLET-BURNING STOVE EN - Rev. 1.0
Good quality pellets should have the following properties:
- Constant-diameter cylinders with a smooth, shiny surface;
- Low amount of sawdust inside the packages;
- After grabbing a bunch of pellets and placing them into a container filled with water, good quality pellets will sink and
poor quality ones will tend to float;
- The quality certification data, in particular conformity to international standards such as EN14961-2, DIN 51731 and O-
NORM M7135, should be indicated on the packaging;
- The packages should be intact since pellets tend to absorb humidity. Humidity not only reduces the calorific value and
increases the amount of flue gases expelled, but also causes swelling of the product which may create problems with
the appliance.
The production of pellets must comply with international standards (such as EN14961-2, DIN 51731 and O-NORM
M7135) which define minimum values for checking pellet quality. To facilitate the right choice of the combustible
material, we indicate below one of the most common certification marks identifying pellet quality:
The use of poor quality pellets or any other material can damage the appliance’s operation, voiding the warranty
and exempting the manufacturer from all liability.
In order to guarantee trouble-free combustion, the pellets must be stored in a dry place.
REQUIREMENTS OF THE PLACE OF INSTALLATION
Positioning
The initial phase for best installation of the appliance is to determine its optimum location; the following elements need to
be considered:
- The possibility of creating an external air vent;
- The possibility of creating a straight flue, preferably coaxial to the outlet of the appliance;
- Ease of access for cleaning the appliance, the flue gas exhaust pipes and the flue.
The unit must be installed on a floor with a suitable load capacity. If the existing building does not fulfil this requirement
appropriate measures (e.g. load distribution plate) must be taken.
The minimum safety distance from flammable materials must be at least 200 mm from the sides and 800 mm
from the front of the appliance.
Relocating the appliance should not be done by forcing on the handle, glass or ceramics.
The installation must guarantee easy access for cleaning the appliance, the flue gas exhaust pipes and the flue, and any
subsequent maintenance operation by the Authorised technical assistance centre.
Once you have found the best location for the appliance, position it following the instructions given below.
The appliance must not be installed in small rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms or in areas with an explosive atmosphere.
