Chapter 3 WHAT IS THE PELLET? Pellets are realised by subjecting wood shavings i.e. the rejects of pure wood (without paint), sawmill, carpenter products and products from other activities connected to working and transforming wood, to very high pressures. This type of fuel is absolutely ecological as no glues are used to hold it together. In fact, the compactness of the pellets is guaranteed through time by a natural substance that is found in wood: lignite.
Chapter 3 OPTIONAL SUPPORT KIT WITH LATERAL PELLET FEEDING If installation has been performed using this optional kit, the insert can be extracted or, more comfortably, use the appropriate lateral chute whenever a relevant opening has been made in the covering of the appliance.

Chapter 3 Take the supplied fi re irons, attach them to the slots in the drawer and pull to maximum extension. CAST IRON Take the supplied Allen wrench, insert it into the GRID relevant seat and turn in an anti-clockwise direction until fully home.
Chapter 3 During normal functioning the fl ue must always be as illustrated in the fi gure i.e. with the drawer completely closed. the front pellet loading drawer must only be open for the loading time in order to prevent product over-heating.
Chapter 4 SAFETY DEVICES FLUE EXHAUST BREAKAGE If the suction device stops, the circuit board immediately blocks the pellet supply. PELLET FEED MOTOR BREAKAGE If the motor reducer stops, the stove continues to function until the minimum cooling level is reached. NO IGNITION If a fl ame is not developed during the ignition phase, the appliance automatically attempts ignition again, this time without pellet feeding.
Chapter 4 INSTALLATION AND SAFETY DEVICES The installation, relative plant connections, commissioning and inspection of correct functioning must be carried out perfectly, in total compliance with Standards in force, both national and regional, as well as these instructions. For Italy, installation must be carried out by authorised professional staff (law dated 5 March 1990 n°46). Extrafl ame S.p.A.

Chapter 4 Domestic type heating appliances with automatic feed must have a fuel block thermostat or a cooling circuit prepared by the manufacturer of the appliance, activated by a thermal safety valve such as to guarantee that the limit temperature set by the Standard is not exceeded. Connection between the power supply unit and the valve must be free from interceptions.
Chapter 5 Chapter 5 ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS The installation must comply with: UNI 10683 (2005) heat generators fed with wood and other solid fuels: installation. The chimneys must comply with: UNI 9731 (1990) chimneys: classifi cation according to thermal resistance. EN 13384-1 (2006) calculation method of the thermal and fl uid-dynamic features of the chimney.
