5. Operating your Pellet Fire
4.2
Before you begin
Before carrying out any maintenance take the following Pellet
precautions:
• Make sure that the general power supply has been
disconnected.
• Make sure that all parts of the wood pellet fi re are cold.
• Make sure that the ashes have cooled completely.
• Make sure that the general switch is in the zero position
(off).
• Make sure that the plug is disconnected from the socket,
thus avoiding accidental electric shocks.
• Always use appropriate tools for maintenance.
• When you have fi nished re-install all safety guards
before using the wood pellet fi re again.
The wood pellet fi re requires little maintenance if quality
wood pellets are used, which is why we recommend pellet
fuel that is manufactured to the AS/NZS
4014.6.
4.3
Cleaning the surfaces
To clean the surfaces on the painted metal parts, use a
damp cloth.
Important: the use of aggressive detergents or abrasive
cleaners can damage the surfaces of the stove.

declines all responsibility deriving
from the improper use of the stove, from its incorrect use by
the user, by unauthorised modifi cations and/or repairs or
from the use of spare parts which are not original. The
manufacturer declines all direct civil or criminal
responsibility due to:
• Use of poor quality fuel.
• Poor maintenance.
• Failure to observe the instructions in the manual.
• Use not compliant with the safety instructions.
• Installation that is not compliant with the regulations in
force in the country.
• Installation by personnel who are not qualifi ed or
authorized.
• Modifi cations and repairs that are not authorized by the
manufacturer.
• Use of spare parts that are not original.
• Exceptional events.
4.5
Spare Parts
To avoid voiding your warranty, use original spare parts
only. Do not wait for components to be worn out before
replacing them.
Replace a worn component before it is completely broken
to prevent any accidents caused by the sudden breakage
of components. Perform the periodic maintenance checks
as described in the dedicated chapter on Maintenance
(page 13).
5.1
Starting your Pellet Fire for the
rst
time
1. Load the hopper with pellets (see “5.2 Filling the
Pellet Hopper” on page 6)
2. Make sure that the pellet fi re is connected to the
fl ue. In the case of an insert pellet fi re, the unit must
be pushed back and locked securely in its cradle
with a good seal on the gasket where the exhaust
fan attaches to the fl ue adapter box.
3. Make sure the power cord is attached, turn the power
on and turn the On/Off switch at the back of the fi re
ON. (The fi re will go through its shutdown routine
“FINAL CLEANING” with the exhaust/Combustion
fan running for several minutes)
4. Set the clock (see “6.2 Menu One - Setting the
Clock” on page 8)
5. Set power level (1-5). For the fi rst start/
commissioning it should be on the highest heat
setting (level 5).
6. Prime the Auger (see “6.6.1 Loading the Screw
(Auger)” on page 10).
Any build up of unburned pellets inside the fi re pot after
trying to light the fi re must be removed before further
attempts are made. DO NOT return charred pellets to
the hopper.
Warning: parts of the appliance, especially the
external surfaces, will be hot to touch when in
operation so use due care.
