1.1 UPDATING This Manual presents the state-of-the-art at the moment the stove is placed on the market. Therefore, ALFA PLAM does not take into account the stoves already on the market with appropriate technical documents, and considers them faulty or inadequate after any modifications, adaptations or application of new technologies to newly launched machines.

Table 2: Insulation thickness for the part of the system that passes through wall or roof First of all, it is necessary to provide PERFECT CIRCULATION of air (draught) in the flue pipe which must be free of any obstacles such as narrowing or angles. Any shifts of the axis must have one path inclined with a maximum angle of 45 degrees from the vertical, and the best solution is 30 degrees.
under the door, window, flue pipe, air chambers, etc. horizontally from 0.3 m above away from smoke outlet Table 4: Minimum distances for the intakes of combustion air 3.5 CONNECTION TO THE ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY These stoves should be connected to the electric power supply. Our stoves have electric cables suitable for medium temperatures.
Besides being obliged to adhere to all safety measures, maintenance workers must: − Always use security devices and personal protective equipment. − Turn off the electric power supply before they start working. − Always use adequate tools. − Ensure that the stove and ash are completely cool before starting any operations on the stove. Especially, take care that the handles are cool before you touch them.
− Remove ashes with a vacuum cleaner only when the stove is completely cool, − Never clean the stove surfaces with any abrasive cleaning agents. 6.1 ROUTINE CLEANING and MAINTENANCE PERFORMED BY THE USER OF THE STOVE The use of a drum-shaped vacuum cleaner can facilitate the stove cleaning. The vacuum cleaner must have a filter which stops the vacuumed dust to go back into the room where the stove is located.

Figure 16 Perform cleaning when the stove is cold. After cleaning the button should always be returned completely inwards so that only the button would be visible, and not the bar from the cleaning mechanism. See figure 16. Use a vacuum cleaner to vacuum the ashes at the door opening, behind the glass. -DOOR WITH GLASS (the door should be checked and cleaned from time to time): The stove and ash must be completely cool.
should preferably contact authorized professionals. The spots that should be paid special attention to during cleaning and that should be cleaned particularly well are shown in Figure 18. − INNER FIREBOX (every two weeks) The stove and ash must be completely cool. Figure 18.Spots to be cleaned at least twice a year 6.3 SPECIAL MAINTENANCE Your stove is a heat generator that uses pellets as solid biofuel.
ONLY, and in accordance with the present legislation of the country in which the installation is performed. ALFA PLAM disclaims any responsibility in case of material or physical damage, or in case of malfunction, if the above-mentioned recommendation were not implemented.

PRESSURE LINE AND RETURN DUCT Pressure line and return duct outlets on the boiler are 1’’ wide and they should not be reduced or constricted before first forking.
Valve safety cap should be loose, not too tight, so that the air could freely leave the boiler and remain of installation. 11.4. EXPANSION TANK Furnace has built-in expansion tank with 10l volume. Function of the tank is pressure stabilisation in the boiler and in the heating system installation.

Menu 02 – programming of the stove operation There are three types of programming of the stove operation: Daily programming Weekly programming Weekend programming Daily programming This enables setting of the daily functions of the chronothermostat. The stove can be ignited and switched off twice as desired and this is regulated by programming, having in mind that sufficient time is required between the switching off and the new ignition so that the stove could cool.

N-2-2 PROGRAM Figure 46 Press the button SET twice and the representation on the display will be the same as in figure 47. The buttons 1 or 2 are used for adjusting the time of the first ignition of the stove during the day. By pressing the button SET, the display will have the same appearance as in figure 48 and the time of the first switching off of the stove is set by pressing the buttons 1 or 2.

Weekend programming The weekend programming enables programming, switching on and switching off of the stove (twice a day) during the weekends (Saturday and Sunday). Activate the weekend programming only if the daily and weekly programming has been deactivated. The first four steps during programming are the same as in the daily programming (figures 42-45). Press button 4 and then press button 5 three times and the display will look the same as shown in figure 57.
After these adjustments, we return to the main menu by pressing the button 4. SUGESTION: to avoid confusion and unwanted turning on and off, activate only one program if you are not sure what do you want to accomplish. Deactivate daily if you wish to engage weekly program. Weekend program always keep inactive, if using weekly program in levels 1, 2, 3 and 4.
