  • Page 10: 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 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: Technical Characteristics

    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).

  • Page 15: Maintenance

    2-INSTALLATION MAINTENANCE The flue must be kept clean, since the deposit of soot or unburned oils reduces the cross-section reducing the draught and thus compromising the efficient operation of the stove and, if large build-ups accumulate, can catch fire. The flue and chimney pot must be cleaned and checked by a qualified chimney sweep at least once a year.

  • Page 16: External Air Inlet

    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);...

  • Page 17: Connection To The Flue

    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 18: Examples Of Correct Installation

    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 rating plate) if next to flammable parts such as wood etc.

  • Page 35: 10-First Start-Up

    10-FIRST START-UP PRECAUTIONS BEFORE START-UP GENERAL PRECAUTIONS Remove any objects that may burn from the brazier (manual, various adhesive labels or any polystyrene). Check that the brazier is positioned correctly and rests properly on the base. The first start-up 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 10-FIRST START-UP If the flame fails to ignite, despite a regular flow of pellets, check that the brazier is seated correctly: it must rest snugly against the interlocking slot and be clean of any ash incrustations. If no anomaly is found during this inspection, there may be a problem with the product components or installation may not be correct.

    14-ALARMS ALARM SIGNALLING When a condition occurs other than the one expected for regular operation of the stove, an alarm is triggered. The reason for the alarm is given on the control panel. The sound signal is not enabled for alarms A01-A02 in order not to disturb the user when there is an absence of pellets in the night tank.
  • Page 48 14-ALARMS smoke T has dropped below the stop threshold, the fan stops, otherwise it will continue to operate at minimum speed until the temperature drops below the threshold. • If the stove has been shutdown regularly but, due to thermal inertia, the smoke temperature exceeds the threshold again, the shutdown phase will be repeated at minimum speed until the temperature drops.

    16-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 54: Cleaning The Glass

    16-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 good quality pellets are used, you will normally only need to use a brush to restore the optimal operating conditions of the component.

  • Page 55: Periodic Cleaning Performed By A Qualified Technician

    16-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 16-CLEANING Loosen the four screws “y”, remove the plate “n” and the gasket “o”. Use the nozzle of a vacuum cleaner to remove any ash and soot that may have built up in the lower exchanger (smoke extractor) indicated by the arrow. Before restoring cap “n”...
  • Page 57 16-CLEANING CLEANING THE EXCHANGER CLEANING THE UPPER COMPARTMENT Clean the upper exchanger when the stove is cold. After removing the cap to clean the lower compartment “n” (see previous paragraph), use a 1 metre long flexible brush to scrape the walls of the firebox (see arrow) to make the ash fall into the lower compartment. Then remove the upper calorite plate “H”, to do this open the firebox door, manually lift the top plate “H”, tilt it to the right or to the left in order to release it from the supports and remove it.
  • Page 58 16-CLEANING Use a flexible brush to scrape the walls of the firebox (see arrow - respectively to the right and to the left of the firebox) to make the ash fall into the lower compartment. Use a vacuum cleaner nozzle to vacuum up any remaining ash and dust on the exchanger (see arrow). Also vacuum in the top part to remove any accumulated dust.

  • Page 60 16-CLEANING CLEANING THE SMOKE DUCT AND GENERAL CHECKS Clean the smoke outlet 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 61: Checking The Internal Components

    16-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 pellet from the tank because it can retain moisture. Disconnect any combustion air ducting that can lead 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 CAT) during the necessary annual end of season scheduled maintenance operations.
