c.4 Lighting the stove for the first time
A skilled technician must perform the first lighting; otherwise, the guarantee will expire.
c.5 Activating the stove
When the pellet tank is filled for the first time, you must remember that the screw tube, which feeds
the grate, is completely empty; therefore, when you light the stove for the first time you must
manually insert the pellets and light the stove.
Press the key n. 4 “ON/OFF” until the message “FAN CARD” appears on the display.
While lighting, the stove begins pre-heating the resistance for approximately 1 minute.
After the pre-heating, the message “LOAD WOOD” appears; this means that the screw is loading
the pellets at a speed, which is defined by the technical settings (which can be modified).
The fuel loaded in the grate meets the incandescent resistance and will burn, provoking the
beginning of the combustion.
When the switchboard infers through the probe that the temperature is high enough, the stove is
brought to the control mode, which will make the message “FIRE ON” appear on the display. In the
while, the pellet supply is increased to raise the temperature even higher, with a defined gradient
(approximately 3°C per minute).
When the pellets inside the grate are completely burned, the stove proceeds in its normal
functioning.
To load the pellets, remove the lid from the upper part of the stove and fill the tank completely,
without removing the protecting wire netting. If you load the stove when it is on, mind its hot
surfaces. After this operation, replace the lid.
c.6 Room temperature setting
The stove is equipped of a thermostat with a room temperature survey probe, which is located on
the back. Its use permits to stabilize and maintain the temperature in the room where it is situated.
To modify the room temperature it is sufficient to push the key n. 3 “SET” for a while, then to
regulate the increase and decrease of the temperature with the keys n. 1 and 2.
IMPORTANT:
WHEN THE ROOM TEMPERATURE IS REACHED, THE STOVE AUTOMATICALLY
MODULATES THE PELLET SUPPLYING BY USING THE NECESSARY FUEL TO MAINTAIN
THE SET TEMPERATURE (“RIS” MODE).
