Page 7: Operating Instructions
MCZ, and if a repair is necessary, insist on the use of original spare parts. Shut the stove down in the event of a breakdown or bad running. Use only the fuel specified by MCZ (6 mm diameter pellets. The fuel must be supplied to the stove only by the automatic feed system. -
Page 8: Safety Devices
1.4 Safety devices The stove is fitted with the following safety devices: PRESSURE SWITCH Monitors pressure in the smoke duct. It is designed to shut down the pellet feed screw in the event of an obstructed flue or significant back-pressure (from the wind). SMOKE TEMPERATURE SENSOR Monitors the temperature of the smoke, and gives permission for startup or shuts the stove down when the smoke temperature falls below the preset value. -
Page 9: Operating Principle
1.5 Operating principle The pellets are picked up from the hopper on board the stove and transported by a feed screw. They are then introduced into the combustion chamber and fall directly into the stainless steel grate. The quantity of pellets introduced into the grate and the corresponding air of combustion are predetermined, programmed and controlled by an electronic board. -
