LIGHTING THE STOVE MANUALLY:

• Press the ON/OFF button; the red light (manual ignition) indicates stove ignition.
After 4-5 minutes the stove will be lit.
• Select the desired power with the + and - buttons, choosing from five levels.
• The hot air fan comes on automatically about 15 minutes after ignition, at the first speed, and
levels itself at the selected power for the normal operating cycle, 25 minutes after ignition.
• It is possible to adjust the hot air fan separately from fuel loading rate (only for the first 3
power levels); the two functions are currently set proportionately by the manufacturer.
• The stove is built entirely of metal; refractory material has not been used in the fireplace
in order to exploit as much of the heat created by the fire as possible.
If the heat probe detect overheating in the exchanger, the hot air fan automatically work
at full power. When the temperature falls below the level of reference, the hot air fan
comes on automatically at the selected power .
• To switch off the stove completely just press the ON/OFF button again; after the flame has
gone out the stove will remain in operation for about 30 minutes until all the internal
parts have cooled down.
• NOTE: the procedure may take longer the first time the stove is lit because the screw duct has
to fill with pellets.
• Before using the stove at full power we recommend a "running-in" period in which the stove is run
for two cycles, each for eight consecutive hours of operation, alternating the power phases.
For the first few hours of operation, the gasket on the door of the hearth may stick to the stove;
if this happens, detach the stove gasket, dust it with ash (this is an excellent non-stick agent) and
then insert it in its seating on the door without using any kind of adhesive.
LIGHTING THE STOVE AUTOMATICALLY:
• For automatic ignition, programme the daily/weekly timer: press the ON/OFF button, se-
lect automatic ignition (green light) with the MAN/AUTO button.The stove will automat-
ically come on and select the preset power; to switch off and remain in standby until the
next programmed ignition there should be an interval of at least 30 minutes. It is also
possible to select the ideal temperature with the (optional) room thermostat.
• To switch on by phone, as the main board will allow, it is necessary to connect a modem
(optional).
• During the ignition stage (25 minutes), the pellet loading rate is that setted by the manufac-
turer and cannot be changed.

IMPORTANT
Continuous operation of the stove at maximum power could shorten the life of the electronic and
mechanical components, and also reduce safety.
The stove is able to operate continuously for long periods of 10/15 hours if the selected pellet load-
ing power level does not exceed the third position.
Using the stove at the fourth or fifth loading rate for long periods will reduce safety, therefore an au-
tomatic power limiting device has been installed as standard in the stove.
If the automatic power limiting device is disabled at the user's request (this should be done
by the installer technician following an evaluation of the conditions under which the stove
is to be used), it is necessary to connect the stove to the flue gas exhaust system using stain-
less steel pipes, or pipes painted with airtight seals. If the fourth power level is selected we
advise operating the stove continuously at this level only if it is alternated hourly with op-
eration at lower load rates, while the fifth level should only be used continuously for a max-
imum of 30 minutes.
ATTENTION:
During operation, changing the function between MAN and AUTO will be treated as a new
command for initial ignition, therefore the stove will re-activate the start cycle for 25 min-
utes.
NOTE: the functions on the remote control are identical.
