In fact, besides the thermal depression caused by the difference in temperature between inside and outside the chimney, there is another type of depression (or overpressure): dynamic pressure caused by the wind.

  • Page 27: 4-Operation

    4-OPERATION BEFORE START-UP GENERAL PRECAUTIONS Remove all components that could burn from the firebox and glass (instructions, various adhesive labels and any polystyrene). Check that the brazier is positioned correctly and rests properly on the base. After a long period of inactivity, remove any pellets left in the hopper (using a vacuum cleaner with a long pipe ), as they could have absorbed moisture, thereby altering their original characteristics and no longer being suitable for combustion.
  • Page 28 4-OPERATION It is extremely important to make sure the product is not immediately overheated and the temperature is increased gradually, initially using low power. This will prevent damaging the welds and the steel structure. DO NOT EXPECT HEATING EFFICIENCY IMMEDIATELY!!! LOADING THE PELLETS Fuel loading is achieved via the lateral or frontal door to be fitted on the cladding, which enables access to the fuel loading chute.
  • Page 29 4-OPERATION PLUMBING CONNECTION IMPORTANT! The connection of the stove to the plumbing system must be carried out ONLY by specialised personnel capable of carrying out state of the art installation, in compliance with the standards in force in the country of installation.

  • Page 30 4-OPERATION SYSTEM CONNECTIONS Make the connections to the corresponding fittings shown in the diagram above. Make sure the pipes are not placed under tension or undersized. If installation of the product involves interaction with another, pre-existing system complete with heating equipment (gas boiler, methane boiler, diesel boiler, etc.), call in qualified personnel, who subsequently will be responsible for conformity of the system in compliance with the applicable law in force.
  • Page 31 4-OPERATION SYSTEM FILLING To load the heating system use the predisposed loading tap in the main boiler. During this operation, any air in the system is released via the air valve located in the upper part of the product. To allow the valve to release air it is recommended to loosen the screw on the valve itself (see figure). The filling pressure of the system WHEN COLD must be 1 bar.
  • Page 32 4-OPERATION WATER CHARACTERISTICS The characteristics of the water used to fill the system are very important to prevent the build-up of mineral salts and the formation of incrustations along the pipes, in the boiler and in the heat exchangers. Therefore, please ASK YOUR PLUMBER FOR HIS ADVICE CONCERNING: •...
