Fuel characteristics

3.1 Fuel characteristics
The pellets (Fig. 3.1) are a compound
made up of various types of wood
pressed with mechanical processes
in compliance with environmental
protection standards. It is the only fuel
envisaged for this type of stove.
The efficiency and thermal potential of
the stove may vary depending on the
type and quality of the pellets used.
We recommend the use of class A1
pellets (ISO 17225-2, ENplus A1,
DIN Plus or NC 444 category "High
Performance NF Pellets Biofuels
Quality").
The stove is equipped with a pellet
containment tank of the capacity
indicated in the table of characteristic
data in the annexed Product Booklet.
The loading compartment is positioned
in the upper part. It must always be
openable in order to load the pellets
and must remain closed during stove
operation.
F o r r e a s o n s o f o p e r a t i n g
temperature control, traditional
wood operation is not possible.
It is forbidden to use the stove as
a waste incinerator.

3.2 Pellet storage

The pellets must be stored in a
dry, not overly cold environment,
keeping the bags closed.

It is advisable to store a number of
bags of pellets in the room where the
stove is being used or in an adjacent
room provided it is at the correct
temperature and humidity and at
a safe distance (at least one meter)
away from heat sources.
Wet and/or cold pellets (5°C) reduce
the thermal potential of the fuel
resulting in the need for more cleaning
maintenance of the burn pot (unburned
material) and of the firebox.
Pay particular attention to the
storage and handling of pellet
bags. Their crushing and the
formation of sawdust must be
avoided.
If sawdust is introduced into the
stove's tank, this could cause the pellet
loading system to become blocked.
The use of poor quality pellets can
compromise the normal operation of
the pellet stove and result in forfeiture
of the warranty.
The characteristics of the pellets
must comply with what is described
in the UNI EN 14961-2, categories
A1 and A2, with a chlorine content
of less than 0.01% and a sulphur
content of less than 0.03%.
