PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

The FORMA - TWIN stoves are completely sealed in
relation to their installation site; this means they draw
air (combustion and cleaning glass) directly from outdo-
ors and not from the room where they are installed.
They are especially suited for use in houses defined as
"PASSIVE".
FORMA - TWIN stoves heat the air using wood pellets as
fuel, with electronically controlled combustion. Hereunder is
the explanation of its functions (the letters refer to figure 1).
The fuel (pellets) is provided by the storage hopper (A) and,
to the combustion chamber (D) by means of a feed screw
(B), which is driven by a gear motor (C).
The pellets are ignited by the air that is heated by an elec-
trical resistance (E) and drawn into the combustion cham-
ber by a smoke extractor (F).
The fumes produced during the combustion process are
extracted from the hearth by the same centrifugal fan (F),
and expelled through the outlet (G) located on the lower
part of the stove.
The hearth is made of steel and cast iron and is closed in the
front by two overlapping doors.
- a ceramic glass external door with a "click-clack" opening
mechanism for Twin model (use the special thermal glove
to open the stove).
- an inner door made from ceramic glass which is in direct
contact with the fire.
Fuel quantity, smoke extraction and combustion air supply
are all controlled by an electronic control board, which is
equipped with LEONARDO
combustion efficiency and low emissions.
The synoptic panel (M) is installed on the top, through which
all phases of operation can be displayed and controlled.
The main functions can also be controlled by remote control.
A serial port is found at the back of the stove (optional
cable: code 621240) to be connected to devices that allow
remote ignition (e.g. remote telephone, local thermostat).

SAFETY INFORMATION

The FORMA - TWIN stoves are designed to heat, through
automatic pellet combustion in the hearth, the room where
they are installed, by radiation and the air coming out of
the front upper grille.
• The only risks that may derive from using the stove
pertain to non-compliance with installation instructions,
direct contact with live electrical parts (internal), contact
with the fire or hot parts (glass, pipes, hot air output), or
foreign substances being put in the stove.
• Only use wood pellets with 6 mm diameter as fuel.
• Should components fail, the stoves are equipped with
safety devices that guarantee automatic shutdown. These
are activated without any intervention required.
• In order to function correctly, the stove must be instal-
led in accordance with the instructions given herein and
the door must not be opened during operation: combu-
stion is fully automatic and requires no intervention.
• Under no circumstances should any foreign substances
be entered into the hearth or hopper.
• Do not use flammable products to clean the smoke
channel (the flue section connecting the stove smoke
outlet to the chimney flue).
• Hearth and hopper components must only be cleaned
with a vacuum cleaner.
• The glass can be cleaned when COLD with a suitable
product (e.g. GlassKamin Edilkamin) and a cloth.
• Ensure that the stoves are installed and ignited by a
qualified Edilkamin DEALER, in accordance with the
instructions given herein.
• When the stove is in operation, the exhaust pipes and
door become very hot (do not touch without wearing the
thermal glove).
• Do not place anything, which is not heat resistant near
the stove.
• NEVER use liquid fuel to ignite the stove or rekindle
the embers.
• Do not block the stove's external air intake.
• Do not wet the stove and do not go near electrical parts
with wet hands.
• Do not use reducers on the smoke exhaust pipes.
• The stove must be installed in a room that is suitable
for fire prevention and equipped with all that is required
(power and air supply and outlets) for the stove to fun-
ction correctly and safely.
• Should ignition fail, DO NOT re-ignite until you have
emptied the combustion chamber.
•ATTENTION:
THE PELLET EMPTIED FROM
THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER MUST NOT BE
DEPOSITED INSIDE THE HOPPER.
