4 STOVE USE
4.1 Introduction
The pellet stove has the advantage of combining heat from a wood flame with the convenience of automatic
management of temperature and the possibility of weekly programming of lighting and shutdown.
Connection to an external thermostat and/or chronothermostat is possible for detecting the temperature in a
different place from where the stove is installed.
For safe and reliable use:
-
when lighting and using the stove the first time, unpleasant odours may be created, therefore air the room
thoroughly;
-
the hopper must only be filled with 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 stove must not be used as a waste incinerator;
-
the stove must only operate with the fire door always closed.
-
the fire door seals must be checked periodically to prevent air from entering;
-
to guarantee efficient performance and correct operation it is necessary to carry out periodical cleaning of 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
section on temperature setting);
-
during lighting, operation and shutdown, the stove may creak a little due to the heat expansion.
