Operation And Fuel - EdilKamin Iris Plus Installation & Operation Manual

Operation of your pellet fire (Iris Plus & Little models)
The Iris Plus and Little are pellet burning fires which manage
pellet combustion electronically.
The fuel (pellets) is taken from the storage hopper (A) and
delivered to the combustion chamber (D) by a auger (B) driven
by a gearmotor (C).
The pellets are ignited by hot air produced by a heating
element (E) which is drawn into the combustion chamber by a
centrifugal fan (M).
The combustion smoke produced is drawn out of the firebox
by the same centrifugal fan (M), and expelled from the outlet
(F) at the bottom rear of the pellet fire.
Air is blown into the hollow space at the back of the firebox by
a fan (G), where it is heated before coming out into the room
from the front grille (I).
The amount of fuel and the smoke extraction/combustion air
supply are controlled by an electronic circuit board (N) in order
to achieve highly efficient fuel consumption.
All operating stages are managed and displayed using the
display-control panel (L) and two knobs on the front panel
under the door (Little Model only) which allow all operating
stages to be managed and displayed.
The same functions may also be managed by remote control
(optional).
The Fuel
The Iris Plus and Little pellet fires are designed and
programmed to burn wood pellets.
Pellets are small cylinders about 6mm in diameter made from
sawdust or shredded waste wood, pressed at high pressure
without the addition of adhesives or other foreign material.
To prevent damage to the pellet fires, do not burn any other
substances. The use of other materials (including wood),
which can be detected by laboratory analysis, invalidates the
guarantee.
EdilKamin has designed, tested and programmed its
pellet fires to perform best with pellets with the following
characteristics:
• Diameter: 6 - 7 millimetres
• Maximum length: 40 mm
• Maximum moisture content: 8 %
• Heat output: at least 20.2 Mj/kg
The pellet hopper is at the top of the pellet fire. The hopper
is filled through a lid found at the back of the top The internal
structure of the pellet fire is completely made of cast iron.
The external covering of the Iris Plus is ceramic, and the
external covering of the Little is metal.

The use of unsuitable pellets can lead to decreased
performance, operating anomalies, stoppages due to
clogging, dirty glass, unburnt fuel, etc.
The pellets can be easily analysed by visual examination.
Good quality: smooth, even short lengths, not very dusty.
Poor quality: with horizontal and vertical splits, very dusty,
variable lengths and mixed with foreign matter.
