5. Installing the Free Standing Pellet Fire Before installing the unit, please follow these steps: Upon delivery, please check the product for completeness and to determine the existence of any signs of damage. Any damages or defects should be accounted for before the unit is installed.
Figure 5 – Minimum separation distance around the unit: a) top view of the unit installation; b) side view of the unit installation WARNING! Keep combustible and flammable materials at a safe distance. 5.2. Installing Ducts and Fume Extraction Systems: ...
The pipes external to the operating area must have double stainless steel insulation and an internal diameter of 80mm. The fume exhaust pipe may generate condensation, so the installation of appropriate systems for collecting condensates is recommended. “All national and local regulations and European Standards shall be complied with when operating the appliance”...
Page 14
Figure 7 – Examples of standard installations. Failure to comply with these requirements may prevent the correct operation of the unit, resulting in warranty void. Be sure to follow all the instructions on the diagrams. Free Standing Fires operate with the combustion chamber in draught, which is why it is absolutely necessary that they include a fume exhaust duct to adequately extract combustion gases.
Wind shield termination: A wind shield termination must be installed to avoid fume back flow. Chimney draught: The Figures below show three standard diagrams, specifying adequate lengths and diameters. Any other type of installation must guarantee a draught of 12 Pa (0.12 mbars) measured when hot and at the maximum power. Ventilation: To get the optimum operation from the unit it is necessary that the installation location has an air inlet with a minimum section of 100 cm preferably near the back panel of the unit.
Figure 8 – Side view of the installation without a chimney, showing the inspection point. The Free Standing Pellet Fire should not be operated in adverse weather conditions, because these may seriously impact the draught (particularly with very strong winds). If the unit has not been used for a long period of time, before lightening the fire, check the unit to make sure that the flue pipes are clean and unblocked.
* To empty the unit, attach a "T-tube" with a tap to the outlet (connected to the household sewage); the safety valve (3 bar) outlet must also be connected to the household sewage; * The heat transporting fluid must consist of water mixed with an anti-corrosion, non- toxic product added in the quantity recommended by the manufacturer.
7. Fuel The Free Standing Pellet Fire operates exclusively with pellets. No other fuel sources are allowed to be used. Only use pellets certified by standard EN 14961-2 grade A1 with a diameter of 6mm and a length of 10-30mm. The pellets may have a maximum humidity of 8% their weight.
Page 19
- Check if the pellet reservoir is supplied with pellets. Inside the pellet reservoir is a safety grid to prevent users from reaching the worm screw. The unit’s combustion chamber and panel door are made of iron plate painted with high temperature resistant paint which releases fumes during the initial burn due to the paint’s curing process.

13. Maintenance 13.1. Daily Maintenance The Free Standing Pellet Fire unit requires careful maintenance (see label with the maintenance instructions in chapter 15 or located on the pellets lid, Figure 23). The most important thing is to periodically remove the ashes from the pellet burning area. For your convenience, you may use a household vacuum cleaner.
Page 43
Backboiler Model To perform maintenance on the backboiler model, clean the airflow pipes. To do this, raise the lid on the top of the unit and then lift the levers inside several times (Figure 25) to make the dirt accumulated inside the pipes fall out. Figure 25 –...
WARNING! The maintenance task frequency depends on the quality of the pellets. Note: See the warning label and read the maintenance instructions in chapter 12. 13.3. Additional Cleaning Additional cleaning should be performed for every 1300-1700 lbs (600-800 kg) of pellets consumed.
Page 45
For the backboiler unit, the procedure involves cleaning the air flow pipes and turbulators. To do this, open the lid on the top of the unit (Figure 51-a and b) and remove the four sticks (Figure 51-c and 51-d). Then pull the turbulators up (Figure 51- e). A vacuum cleaner must be used to clean this area (Figure 51-f) and the interior of the pipes can be cleaned with a steel brush.
13.4. Cleaning the glass Allow the unit to cool down completely before cleaning the glass. For cleaning, use a purpose specific product following the instructions for use on the label. Avoid contact between the product and rope gasket and painted metal parts of the unit, as this may cause oxidation.
