5) Does the Idrotech stove also provide domestic hot water?
It may be produced using our kit No. 4 (consisting of a heat exchanger, three-way valve, high temperature valve and regulator)
or produced and stored by one of our water heaters (see plumbing diagrams on page 26).
6) Can the Idrotech smoke outlet pass directly through the wall?
NO, an outlet installed in a workmanlike manner (Italian standard UNI 10683/05) is on the roof ridge. In any case, there
must be a vertical section of at least 1.5 metres for correct operation. Otherwise, a small amount of smoke may be perceived
in the room in the event of power failure or wind.
7) Does there have to be an air intake in the room?
Yes, to replenish the air in the room. There is no direct connection between the air intake and the stove: the smoke extractor
draws air from the room and supplies it to the combustion chamber.
8) What is the temperature of the smoke emitted?
It leaves at a maximum of 140°C if the system has the correct dimensions and the pellets are good quality.
9) What do I have to set on the stove display?
The water temperature required: the stove modulates the power on the basis of this setting to attain or maintain it. For small
systems, the stove may be programmed to turn on and off according to the water temperature reached.
10) How often do I have to clean the combustion chamber?
Ideally before each stove ignition, while cold before turning it on. Clean the chamber AFTER CLEANING THE HEAT
EXCHANGE PIPES WITH THE BRUSHES and operating the smoke duct cleaning rods.
11) Should I vacuum-clean the pellet hopper?
Yes, at least once a month or if the stove has not been used for a long time.
12) Can I burn other things apart from pellets?
NO. The stove is designed to burn 6 mm pellets. Other materials may damage it.
13) Can I turn the stove on with a mobile phone text message?
Yes, if the DEALER or an electrician has fitted a dialler to the electronic circuit board AUX port.
