4 STOVE USE
4.1 Introduction
The pellet stove has the advantage of combining the heat generated by the combustion of wood with the
convenience of automatic water temperature management and the possibility of weekly programming of switching
on/off, as well as the connection of a thermostat and/or chronothermostat and start-stop remote control.
For safe and reliable use:
- when lighting and using the unit the first time, unpleasant odours may be created, therefore air the room
thoroughly;
- the hopper must only be filled with good quality pellets; make sure the bag does not come into contact with the hot
surfaces of the stove ;
- do not put any fuel other than the prescribed pellets in the hopper;
- the unit must not be used as a waste incinerator;
- the boiler must only operate with the fire door always closed.
- the fire and ash door seals must be checked periodically to prevent air from entering;
- to ensure thermal efficiency and correct operation it is necessary to clean the brazier every time pellets are loaded;
- when lighting the stove for the first time, allow it to heat up gradually by setting low operating temperatures (see the
section on temperature setting);
- during lighting, operation and shutdown, the stove may creak a little due to the heat expansion.
