  • Page 11: 2-Installation

    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 extruding sawdust which is produced during the processing of natural dried wood (without paint). The compactness of the material is guaranteed by the lignin contained in the wood itself and allows the pellets to be produced without glue or binders.

  • Page 13 2-INSTALLATION FOREWORD This 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 manufacturer must be in possession of.
  • Page 14 2-INSTALLATION TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Have the efficiency of the flue checked by an authorised technician. The flue must be sealed against flue gases, 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).

  • Page 16 2-INSTALLATION MAINTENANCE The flue must be kept clean, since the deposit of soot or unburnt oils reduces the cross-section, blocking the draught and thus compromising the efficient operation of the stove and, if large build-ups accumulate, can catch fire. The flue and chimneypot must be cleaned and checked by a qualified chimney sweep at least once a year.
  • Page 17 2-INSTALLATION EXTERNAL AIR INLET It is mandatory to provide an adequate external air inlet that supplies the combustion air required for the product to work properly. The flow of air between the outside and the installation room may be direct, through an inlet in an external wall of the room (preferable solution see Figure 9 a), or indirect, via air intake from adjoining rooms and connecting permanently with the installation room (see Figure 9 b).
  • Page 18 2-INSTALLATION In order to fully enhance the sealed features and heating performance of this Oyster appliance, and thus to avoid fitting a free air intake in the room. It is recommended to connect the air required for combustion directly to the external air intake through 060 mm piping with a maximum length of 3 linear metres, using the suitable “j”...
  • Page 19 2-INSTALLATION EXAMPLES OF CORRECT INSTALLATION 1. Installation of Ø120mm flue with hole for the passage of the pipe increased by: minimum 100mm around the pipe if next to non- flammable parts such as cement, brick, etc.; or minimum 300mm around the pipe (or as required by plate data) if next to flammable parts such as wood etc.

  • Page 35: 11-First Start-Up

    11-FIRST START-UP WARNINGS BEFORE IGNITION GENERAL WARNINGS Remove any objects that may burn from the product brazier and from the glass (manual, various adhesive labels or any polystyrene). Check that the brazier is positioned correctly and rests properly on the base. The first ignition may not be successful as the feed screw is empty and does not always manage to load the brazier with the required amount of pellets in time to light the flame.
  • Page 36 11-FIRST START-UP depending on the heat stored in the structure, determined by the duration and the operating speed of the product throughout the day.

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 53: 17-Cleaning

    17-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 unplugged. Disconnect the product from the 230V power supply before performing any maintenance operation The product requires little maintenance if used with certified good quality pellets.
  • Page 54 17-CLEANING 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 high quality pellets are used, you will normally only need to use a brush to restore the optimal operating conditions of the component.
  • Page 55 17-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 moisture compacting it over time.
  • Page 56 17-CLEANING FAN CLEANING The fan is secured to the back of the stove. Proceed as follows to remove it: • undo the 4 screws “x” • remove the cap “z” • and the gasket “g” • remove the fan • vacuum the ash and dust built up in the fan CLEANING THE HEAT EXCHANGER CLEANING THE UPPER COMPARTMENT...

  • Page 58 17-CLEANING CLEANING THE SMOKE DUCT AND GENERAL CHECKS Clean the smoke outlet system, especially around the Tee fittings, 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 59 17-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 hopper with a vacuum cleaner with a long pipe. We recommend removing the unused pellets from the hopper because they can retain moisture. Disconnect any combustion air ducting that can lead to moisture 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 Technical Assistance Centre) during the necessary annual end of season scheduled maintenance operations.
