EdilKamin MYA Air Tight Installation, Usage Et Maintenance page 32

Commissioning must be done by a Technical Service Centre
authorised by Edilkamin (CAT) prior to ignition and testing
according to the UNI 10683.
This standard indicates the control operations to be carried out
in situ, aimed at ascertaining correct system function.
Before igniting.
To ignite for the first time, it is essential to contact your local
Edilkamin technical service centre (CAT), (for information
see the www.edilkamin.com website) to calibrate the stove
according to the type of pellets used and installation conditions,
thereby starting the guarantee.
Failure to have the stove ignited by an authorised C.A.T. pre-
vents Edilkamin from guaranteeing correct functioning. .
There may be a slight smell of paint the first few times it is
ignited, however, this will disappear quickly.
Before igniting you must check:
• that installation is correct
• the power supply
• that the door closes properly to a perfect seal
• that the combustion chamber is clean
• that the display is on standby (the date, power or temperature
flashes).
FILLING THE PELLET HOPPER
The hopper lid opens and closes with a practical click-clack
system. Simply apply slight pressure to the front part of the
cast iron lid (fig. 1-2).
ATTENTION:
use the glove supplied when filling the stove whilst it is run-
ning and therefore is hot.
NOTE regarding the fuel.
MYA is designed and programmed to burn wood pellets with
6 mm diameter.
Pellets are a type of fuel in the form of little cylinders, made
from compacted sawdust, compressed under high pressure
with no adhesives or foreign materials.
They are sold in bags of 15 kg.
For the stove to function properly, you MUST NOT burn
anything else in it. Using other materials (including wood)
will render the warranty null and void. Such use is detected by
laboratory analyses. Edilkamin has designed, tested and pro-
grammed their stoves to guarantee the best performance when
pellets with the following characteristics are used:
diameter: 6 millimetres
maximum length: 40 mm
maximum moisture content: 8%
calorific value: at least 4300 kcal/kg.

If pellets with different characteristics are used, the stoves
must be recalibrated a similar procedure to that carried out by
the DEALER when the stove is ignited the first time.
Using unsuitable pellets may: decrease efficiency; cause
malfunctions; stop the stove from functioning due to clogging,
dirt on the glass, unburnt fuel, etc.
A simple, visual analysis of the pellets may be carried out:
Good quality: smooth, uniform length, not very dusty.
Poor quality: with longitudinal and transverse cracks, very
dusty, various lengths and mixed with foreign matter.
