Important Information; What Are Pellets; Quality Characteristics, Storage - RIKA Rio Instruction Manual

1. IMPORTANT INFORMATION

GENERAL WARNING AND SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
The general introductory warning information must
be followed.
● Read the whole of the manual thoroughly before
commissioning the stove.
● Only approved transport aids with adequate load
bearing capacity must be used for transporting your
stove.
● Your stove is not suitable for use as a ladder or
scaffold.
● Thermal energy is produced by burning fuel; this
leads to the surface of the stove, the doors, the door
and operating handles, the door glasses, the flue
pipes and possibly the front wall of the stove
becoming very hot. Avoid touching these parts
without wearing the relevant protective clothing or
using the relevant means (cold hand).

2. WHAT ARE PELLETS ?

Pellets are made from wooden waste, from sawmills
and planing workshops, as well as from residue from
forestry operations. These "starting products" are
crushed, dried, and pressed into Pellet "Fuel"
without any bonding agent.

● Make children aware of the danger and keep
them away from the stove when in use.
● Placing non heat resistant objects on the stove or
nearby is prohibited.
● Do not lay washing on the stove to dry.
● Stands for drying items of clothing or suchlike
must be set up at an adequate distance from the
stove – fire hazard!
● Working with easily combustible and explosive
materials in the same or adjoining room to the stove
is prohibited when the stove is on.
● ATTENTION!!
In cause of safety reason please do not open the
combustion chamber door during operation!
● CAUTION when filling the storage container.
The opening of the pellet container is sufficient to
ensure problem-free filling. Ensure that no pellets
fall on the convection ribs and the hot stove body.
This can otherwise lead to heavy smoke formation.
Please ask your pellet stove dealer for tested fuel and
a list of monitored fuel manufacturers. Using poor
quality or prohibited pellet fuel will have a negative
effect on the function of your pellet stove and can also
lead to the warranty becoming null and void, as well as
the product liability connected with this. Observe
waste incineration legislation.
Burn only pellets that have been tested.
PELLET STORAGE
In order to guarantee problem free burning of the
wooden pellets, it is necessary to store the fuel as
dry as possible and free from impurities.
