    2-INSTALLATION The instructions in this chapter refer explicitly to the Italian installation regulation UNI 10683. In any case, always observe the regulations in force in the country of installation. PELLETS Wood pellets are manufactured by hot-extruding compressed sawdust which is produced during the working of natural dried wood. The compactness of the material is guaranteed by the lignin contained in the wood itself and allows pellets to be produced without glue or binders.

  • Page 12 2-INSTALLATION FOREWORD The Chimney Flue chapter has been drawn up with reference to the provisions of European Standards (EN13384 - EN1443 - EN1856 - EN1457). The chapter provides indications for installing an efficient and correct flue but is under no circumstances to substitute the regulations in force, which the qualified technician must be in possession of.
  • Page 13 2-INSTALLATION TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS Have the efficiency of the flue checked by an authorised technician. The flue must be sealed against flue gasses, in a vertical direction without narrowing, be made with materials impermeable to smoke, condensation, thermally insulated and suitable to resist normal mechanical stress over time (we recommend fireplaces made of A/316 or refractory material with insulated round section double chamber).

We would like to inform you that we are aware of cases of malfunctioning of domestic pellet-fuelled heating products, mainly due to incorrect installation and use, as well as inadequate maintenance.

  • Page 55: 13-Cleaning

    13-CLEANING EXAMPLE OF A CLEAN BRAZIER EXAMPLE OF A DIRTY BRAZIER Only by properly servicing and cleaning the product is it possible to ensure its safety and correct operation. ATTENTION! All the cleaning operations of all parts must be performed with the product completely cold and the plug disconnected.
  • Page 56 12-RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SAFE USE For the brazier to be cleaned properly, remove it from its housing completely and thoroughly clean all the holes and the grate on the bottom. If good quality pellets are used, you will normally only need to use a brush to restore the optimal operating conditions of the component.
  • Page 57 13-CLEANING PERIODIC CLEANING PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN CLEANING THE HEAT EXCHANGER Half-way through the winter season, but especially at the end, the compartment through which the exhaust smoke passes will need to be cleaned. This cleaning process is mandatory in order to facilitate the general removal of all combustion residue, before it becomes very difficult to remove it due to the humidity compacting it over time.
  • Page 58 13-CLEANING CLEANING THE EXCHANGER CLEANING THE UPPER COMPARTMENT Clean the upper exchanger when the stove is cold and without cladding. After removing the cap for lower cleaning “N” (see previous paragraph), use a stiff rod or a bottle brush to scrape the firebox walls (see arrow) so that the ash falls into the lower compartment. Then remove the upper Calorite plate “H”;...
  • Page 59 13-CLEANING Use a stiff rod or a bottle brush to scrape the firebox walls (see arrow - at the right and left of the firebox respectively) so that the ash falls into the lower compartment. Use a vacuum cleaner nozzle to vacuum up any remaining ash and dust on the exchanger (see arrow). Technical Dept.
  • Page 60 13-CLEANING Also vacuum under the top to remove any accumulated dust. Then thoroughly clean the lower exchanger, replace any gaskets if needed, and reassemble.
  • Page 61 13-CLEANING CLEANING THE SMOKE DUCT AND GENERAL CHECKS Clean the smoke extractor system, especially around the “T” joints, elbows and any horizontal sections of the smoke duct. For information on periodically cleaning the flue, contact a skilled chimney sweep. Check the seal of the ceramic fibre gaskets on the door of the stove. If necessary, order new replacement gaskets from the retailer or contact an authorised service centre to carry out the operation.
  • Page 62 13-CLEANING SHUTDOWN (end of season) At the end of each season, before switching the product off, it is recommended to remove all the pellets from the tank with a vacuum cleaner with a long pipe. We recommend removing the unused pellet from the tank because it can retain humidity. Disconnect any combustion air ducting that can lead humidity inside the combustion chamber but, above all, ask the specialised technician to refresh the paint inside the combustion chamber with the special silicone spray paints (available at any store or CAT) during the necessary annual end of season scheduled maintenance operations.
