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.
4.2 Description of control panel
The control panel comprises a backlit LCD, on/off button 'P4', SET/MENU button 'P3', four menu buttons 'P1', 'P2',
'P5', 'P6', and seven stove operation status LEDs (fig. 5).
The panel enables stove lighting and shutdown, adjustment during operation and the setting of management and
maintenance programmes.The display shows all the information on stove operation status.
To access the menus, proceed as follows:
press the SET button 'P3';
-
press the buttons 'P5','P6' repeatedly to scroll the various menus;
-
press one of the increase/decrease buttons 'P1', 'P2', to set the required parameter;
-
press the SET button 'P3' to confirm the parameter value.
-
On accessing the menu it is possible to obtain the various types of displays and carry out the available settings
depending on the access level. Given below is the table of controls and respective messages displayed during
programming or setting operation parameters.
The figure 5 describes the meaning of the status indicators in the left part of the display. Activation of one of the
segments on the display signals activation of the corresponding device according to the list opposite.
4.3 Lighting
4.3.1 Check before lighting
Before lighting the stove:
make sure to have read and understood the information given in the manual;
-
-
follow the oral instructions on operation of the unit provided by the installer prior to use.
the hopper must be filled with pellets;
-
-
the combustion chamber must be clean;
the brazier must be completely free, cleaned of any combustion residuals and correctly fitted in the brazier
-
holder;
check hermetic closing of the ash box and fire door;
-
-
check the connection of the power cable and switching to ON/1 of the switch located on the back of the
stove.
-
check opening of the delivery and return shutoff valves as well as the water circuit pressure.
- At first startup, remove all the components that could burn (instructions/label) from the stove firebox.
- Any lighting done after long idle periods requires the removal of any residual pellets that have remained inside the
hopper, in being damp fuel no longer suitable for combustion, and complete cleaning of the combustion chamber.
4.3.2 Startup stage
To light the stove, press the button 'P4' for 3 seconds: the message 'START' will appear on the display.
This stage is automatic and managed entirely by the electronic controller without the possibility of changing the
parameters. Alternatively the stove can be lit by pressing the buttons P4 and P5 together for 3 seconds. The
message AWAITING REQUEST appears on the display. With this mode the stove switches to standby status and
carries out the lighting-start stage only if a request for heat is recognised, e.g. to heat the water or for DHW (if
available).
