Pellet features

The stove has been tested with all types of pellets available on the market. The pellets used must also have
the following features:
− Diameter 6 mm;
− Maximum length 35 mm;
− Maximum humidity content 8 – 9 %;
− 100% wood. Total absence of additives.
− Maximum ash residue 1.1 %
For optimal stove efficiency, we recommend using good-quality pellets. The pellets must be introduced
into the tank using a shovel and not directly from the bag.
To identify good-quality pellets, it is necessary that:
• They are manufactured from constant diameter cylinders and have a smooth, shiny surface;
• There is not a lot of sawdust inside the packaging;
• After grabbing a bunch of pellets and placing them into a container filled with water, good-quality pellets
will sink and poor-quality will tend to float;
• The quality certification data, in particular conformity to international standards such as EN14961-2, DIN
51731 and O-NORM M7135, are indicated on the packaging;
• The packages are intact, since pellets tend to absorb humidity. Humidity not only reduces the calorific
value and increases the amount of flue gases expelled, but also causes swelling of the product which
may create problems with the stove.
The international regulations on pellet production must be observed - as already occurs in France, Austria
and Germany alongside several Eastern European countries, which must comply with the EN14961-2, DIN
51731 and O-NORM M7135 regulations governing the minimum values for verifying pellet quality. In Italy
there is no official standard, although it is advisable to use pellets complying with the aforementioned
regulations.
The use of poor-quality pellets or pellets made of other materials can damage the stove's functions,
besides voiding the warranty and the manufacturer's liability.
In order to guarantee trouble-free combustion, the pellets must be stored in a humidity-free place.
