3 FUEL SPECIFICATIONS
The firebox can burn both traditional firewood and
wood pellets.
3.1 PELLET
Pellets
are
made
mechanically compacted wood in compliance with
environmental protection standards. Pellets are
the only fuel that can be used on this type of stove.
The efficiency and heat output of the stove may
vary in relation to the type and quality of pellets
used.
The features of the pellets must comply with the
requirements of EN 14961-2 (A1 or A2 category).
The stove has a pellet hopper with the capacity
specified in the technical data table in the Product
Booklet enclosed.
The pellet hopper is located at the top of the stove.
It must always be able to be opened to load the
pellets, and must remain closed during operation.
The stove must not be used as a rubbish incinerator.
3.1.1 STORING THE PELLETS
The pellets must be kept in a place that's dry and
not too cold.
It's suggested to keep some sacks of pellets in
the same room where the stove is installed or an
adjacent room, as long as the temperature and
humidity are acceptable.
Damp and/or cold pellets (5°C) reduce the fuel
heat value and mean the burn pot (unburned
material) and firebox will need to be cleaned more
frequently.
Pay special care when storing and handling the
sacks of pellets. Make sure these are not crushed
to prevent the pellets from becoming sawdust.
Sawdust introduced into the hopper may block the
pellet feed system.
Use of poor quality pellets may affect normal pellet
stove operation and render the warranty void.
3.2 WOOD
In wood-fired operation, the firebox should be sup-
plied with well-seasoned beech/birch wood. Eve-
ry type of wood has different characteristics, which
affect combustion efficiency.
Coniferous wood (pine-fir) is not recommended:
this usually contains high quantities of resinous
substances that quickly block the flue.
The following cannot be burned: wood scrap, bark,
painted wood, panels, charcoal, plastics; in these
cases, the warranty on the appliance will be void.
The wood must be free from ferrous materials
such as nails: danger of blocking the burn pot cle-
aning mechanism.

IMPORTANT: continuous and extended use of
wood with a considerable aromatic oil content
(e.g. eucalyptus, myrtle, etc.) will cause a sudden
deterioration in the internal components making up
the product.
Rated heat output in kW can be achieved by burn-
ing the correct quantity of wood, making sure not
to overload the combustion chamber.
The maximum moisture content allowed is
20%.
Use average-sized pieces of split wood, ideally
30 cm long. The wood must be placed in the
firebox horizontally and not vertically.
Never load more wood than indicated in the
technical specifications.
Pay careful attention when placing the pieces of
wood, to make sure these do not obstruct the
pellet feed tube.
The reference standard for the fuel used is EN
14961-1 "forest, plantation and other virgin wood".
3.2.1 Storing the wood
Keep the logs of wood in a dry place.
It's suggested to keep some logs in the room where
the stove is installed or an adjacent room, as long
as the temperature and humidity are acceptable.
Moist logs reduce the fuel's heat value and mean
more frequent maintenance and cleaning of the
firebox.
4 HANDLING AND
TRANSPORT
The stove is delivered complete with all parts
included.
Beware of the tendency of the stove to tip over.
When lifting avoid jolts or sudden movements.
Make sure that the forklift capacity exceeds the
weight of the stove being lifted.
The operator of the forklift or other hoisting
equipment is responsible for lifting the loads.
Prevent children from playing with the packaging
components (e.g. film and polystyrene). Danger of
suffocation!
4.1 REMOVING THE STOVE FROM THE
PALLET
