3 – GENERAL DESCRIPTION
3.1 OPERATING TECHNOLOGY
Your appliance has been built to fully satisfy all your heating and practical requirements. Top-grade components and functions
managed with microprocessor technology guarantee high reliability and optimal performance.
3.2 THE PELLET
The appliance is fuelled by pellets, that is, cylinders of compressed sawdust; it his allows you to fully enjoy the heat of the flame
without having to manually stoke the combustion.
The pellets have a 6 mm diameter and a length between 10 and 20 mm. They have a max moisture content of 8%; a thermal value
of 4000/4500 Kcal/kg and density of 630-640 kg/m³. It must be approved according to UNI EN 14961-2 A1 A2.
It is strictly forbidden to use any pellet type other than that specified above. The use of fuel that does not comply with the
above specifications not only immediately invalidates the warranty for the appliance but can also create dangerous
situations. Do not use the appliance as an incinerator, at the risk of voiding the warranty.
3.3 PELLET REFUELLING
The feedbox is situated in the top part of the appliance. The load
capacity specified in the technical data can vary according to the specific
weight of the pellets.
Take special care when loading the tank as the screw feeder at its base
is in motion. Take care when topping up with fuel as the loading area
can get very hot.
ATTENTION: it is normal to find some pellets remaining in the tank even
if the stove shuts off because the pellets have run out.
Attention: when filling up the tank, take care not to drop any pellets into the internal parts of the appliance, as, in
extreme cases, this could generate live flames.
The manufacturer recommends emptying the tank and vacuuming the screw feeder zone once a month and during the
summer period. If the screw feeder can be seen when loading the pellet in the tank (pellet almost exhausted in the
tank), the appliance must be turned off, cooled down and the brazier must be cleaned. Do not switch off the appliance
by means of the main switch O/I on the power panel or by cutting off the power supply. Then restart the appliance.
Should you notice an excessive stagnation of flue gas in the combustion chamber, move away from the appliance
immediately. In particular move away from the glass door of the combustion chamber. The excessive concentration of
unburned gases could create an explosion that could break the glass. Do not open the fuel feed door for any reason
and do not go near the appliance until said gases have been exhausted. Contact a technical service centre to
determine the causes. Do not switch off the appliance by means of the main switch O/I on the power panel or by cutting
off the power supply. Do not turn on the appliance for any reason whatsoever following an event such as this.
Only pellets complying with the above specifications are to be loaded into the tank; in no case whatsoever must foreign
substances or objects be introduced into the tank, the brazier or any part of the generator.
