1.4 Installation environment
Contact local building authority before installation to determine if a permit and/or inspection is required.
When locating your appliance, consider the building structure to ensure the vent will not interfere with any ceiling joists, roof rafters, wall studs, water
pipes or electrical wiring. It may be easier to relocate the appliance than to rework the building structure.
The room where the appliance is to be installed must comply with the following requirements:
aaThey must not be used as a garage, store for combustible material or for activities with a risk of fire.
aaLocating the stove in a room with an explosive athmosphere is prohibited.
aaThey must not be in a vacuum in relation to the outside environment due to the effect of contrary draught caused by the presence in
the room where the firebox is installed of another appliance or an extractor device.
ddThe stove or firebox must not be used simultaneously with collective type ventilation ducts with or without extractor fan, other
devices or other appliances such as: forced ventilation systems or other heating systems using ventilation to change the air. Such
systems could cause a vacuum in the environment of installation even if installed in adjoining or communicating rooms.

1.7 Flueway
aaThe stove requires a UL listed pellet vent. So the venting system shall be approved for pellet stoves by a certified testing Laboratory.
aaPL Vent must be used for venting all Freestanding stoves.
ddDo not use to vent pellet appliance these venting materials and products:
-- Dryer vent
-- Gas appliance (Type B) vent
-- PVC (plastic) pipe
English
-- Single wall stove pipe.
aaThe pellet stove is not the same as other stoves. It has a forced draught of flue gas by a fan, which keeps the firebox in a vacuum
and the entire flueway slightly pressurised. For this reason the flue must be completely airtight and correctly installed to ensure both
trouble-free operation and user safety.
aaUsing the relative pipe clips, fix the flue to the wall so that it does not weigh on the smoke fan.
ddDO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE EXHAUST VENTING SYSTEM OF THIS UNIT.
ddDO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
ddDo not connect to a flueway into which extractor hoods discharge vapours.
aaThe very hot exhaust gases may cause skin burns: keep a considerable distance away from the appliance.
aaThe exhaust gases from the combustion of pellets fuel may dirty the outside of the walls. To avoid such possibility terminate the vent
above the roof line.
aaLosses in pressure associated with a 90° elbow can be compared to those incurred by three feet of pipe. An inspectable union-tee
can be considered equivalent to a 90° bend.
EXAMPLE: if installing a section greater than 20’ in length with 3” diameter pipe, calculate the maximum usable length in the following ways:
• If a maximum of three 90° elbows are used, the maximum length of the section will be 25’.
• If a maximum of two 90° elbows are used and bearing in mind that a 90° bend can be replaced by 3’ of pipe, the maximum length of the section
will be 25’+3’ = 28’.
• If a maximum of one 90° elbows is used and bearing in mind that a 90° bend can be replaced by one metre of pipe, the maximum length of the
section will be 25’+3’+3’ = 31’.
H07029430 / DT2001084 – 02 7
Where 4” diameter pipe must be used, connect it to the stove flue outlet Fig. 8
with a 3” union-tee then use a 3” – 4” adaptor (Fig. 8).

6.0 USE DT2012654-00
The pellet stove is a different type of heater. Its operation and maintenance differ from the traditional wood stove. Follow these operating instructions
exactly as stated to ensure safe and reliable operation.
• Do not use the stove as a cooking appliance.
• Ensure that the room in which the stove is installed is sufficiently well ventilated (fresh air intake).
• A certain amount of carbon monoxide may be produced within the stove as a by-product of combustion. All exhaust vent connections must be
sealed with RTV silicone to assure a gas tight seal. Any leaks into a confined area caused by faulty installation or improper operation of the stove
could produce dizziness, nausea and in extreme cases, death.
• Check (or have checked) regularly that the flue is clean.
English
• Under no circumstances use fuels other than pellets.
• Remove any deposits of unused pellets left by failed ignition before restarting the stove.

6.8 Energy Saving
When the ENERGY SAVING mode is enabled, automatic startup/ignition and shutdown of the stove is activated at temperature values set by the user
through the STOP and START functions.
The temperature value selected 2, 4 or 6 °F (1, 2 or 3 °C ) in STOP function or selected in START function with negative values -2, -4 or -6 °F (-1, -2
or -3 °C) defines the value from which the Energy Saving mode will either increment or deduct from the room temperature set.
If the room temperature continues to rise with operation at power level 1 up to the value set on the STOP function (e.g. +4 °F / +2 °C compared to
the programmed temperature), the stove shuts down and goes into the stand-by mode.
When the room temperature measured by the room sensor, the external thermostat drops to the temperature value set by the user on the START
function (e.g. -6 °F / -3 °C compared to the programmed temperature), the stoves starts a new ignition phase and goes back to the power level
previously set by the user.
aaThe stove only restarts when the temperatures measured on the actual stove allow its use in all safety.
If the STOP and OFF functions are enabled, upon reaching the programmed room temperature, the stove will operate in the conventional way by
going to power level 1 without shutting down.
Likewise with the START and OFF enabled the stove does not start the startup/ignition phase after automatic shutdown and will remain off.

6.12 Lighting for the first time
-- Carefully read this “Instructions for installation, use and maintenance” in its entirety before lighting your stove for the first time.
-- Before lighting the stove for the first time, check that the grate is properly placed and pushed towards the left.
-- There will be odours when lighting the first few times due to the evaporation of paints and oils used during the manufacturing process.
During this stage, air the room well where the stove is installed and avoid staying there any length of time since the fumes being given off could be
harmful to persons or pets.
The stove body should have settled down and the paints fully evaporated after having lit the stove a few times.
To this end, follow the instructions given below when using the stove.
-- Operate at medium power for the first 5-6 hours after igniting the fuel (the expansion caused by the heat during this stage will allow the stove body
to settle).
-- After the settling-down stage the stove must be set to operate at maximum power for a period between 6 and 10 hours, depending on the amount
of paint on the stove body that must be evaporated off.
The time indicated for operation at maximum power does not necessarily have to be continuous, but may be divided up into two periods separated by
an interval of at least 3-4 hours with the stove shut down.
At the end of the recommended period the paint will have evaporated and the stove should be used at the suitable power for normal use.
If necessary the stove may be used for a further period at maximum power to ensure complete and final disappearance of all paint residue.
When the hopper is being loaded for the first time the loading auger needs time to fill up; during this stage the pellets are not distributed inside the
firebox and it is highly probable that the first attempt at ignition fails. If the alarm is activated, shut down the stove by pressing the ON/OFF key for a
few moments, remove the fuel in the grate and then set the stove for a new ignition process.

6.19 Disposal of ashes
Ash from natural (non-treated) wood burned in stoves or open fireboxes is composed mainly of calcium, silicon, potassium and magnesium oxides.
The ashes can therefore be used as a fertiliser for plants or in the garden, albeit not exceeding 2.6 kg per 10m2 annually.
aaThe ashes should be placed in a metal container with a sealed cover. The sealed container should be placed on a non-combustible
surface at a safe distance from combustible materials until the cinders have been completely extinguished.
ddOnly when they have been fully extinguished can the ashes be thrown away with organic waste, assuming that nails or other non-
organic material are not present.

7.0 MAINTENANCE DT2011672-00
Pursuant to current regulations on the safety of electrical equipment, you must contact your dealer or a qualified electrician for all and any work
connected with installation, maintenance or servicing that involves access to electrical parts or internal mechanical parts.
Maintenance is to be considered compulsory for correct and efficient stove operation. If maintenance is not carried out with the recommended
frequency, stove performance could suffer. The manufacturer will not be responsible for stove deterioration or malfunction if due to poor maintenance.
The frequency of cleaning depends on how much the stove is used and the quality of the fuel.
All maintenance work (cleaning, any replacements, etc.) must be carried out when the stove is shutdown, completely cold and the supply cable
disconnected.
English
Do not use materials that could scratch or damage the glass, since scratches could become cracks. Under no circumstances use abrasive substances.
On the following paragraphs, the reported time indications are to be considered on example.
To dispose the ashes, refer to the paragraph “DISPOSAL OF ASHES”. DT2010057-02

7.5 Cleaning the flue system
Remove the plug from the Tee and clean the pipes.
Do not use a metal trush to clean this vent. Such a brush may scratch
the vent liner and promote corrosion. Do not use chemical cleaners in
this vent system. They do not eliminate need for manual cleaning and
may be corrosive to vent materials.
DT2010059-03
7.6 Cleaning the ceramic cladding
The ceramic cladding must first be cleaned with a soft dry cloth before using any detergent (even mild detergent).
Products are available on the market which are suitable for cleaning ceramics as well as concentrated products for cleaning porcelain. These will
remove oil, ink, coffee and wine stains, etc.
ddNever soak the ceramic cladding or clean it with cold water when it is still hot as the thermal shock could cause it to crack.

7.7 Cleaning the enamelled metal parts
When cleaning the enamelled metal parts of the product use a soft cloth moistened with water
ddNever clean metallic parts using alcohol, solvents, petroleum-based products, acetones or other degreasing or abrasive substances.
In the event of such substances being used, the manufacturer will not be responsible for any damage caused.
Discolouration of metallic parts may be the result of misuse.
DT2010062-05
7.8 Cleaning the glass (daily)
aaThe glass should be cleaned when cold using amMARCELLA-based degreasing agents and not corrosive substances such as solvents.
Although it is likely that tar will build up on the glass during the lighting stage, it will burn off with the stove in full operation.
If, however, the tar is left to build up over a long period it will require more effort to remove.
We therefore recommend that the glass be cleaned daily before lighting the stove.
ddDo not use any material that could scratch or spoil the glass, as scratches may develop into cracks or breaks.

7.11 Cleaning the fans
aaAny cleaning or maintenance work must be carried out after the CURRENT HAS BEEN SWITCHED OFF.
The stove is fitted with fans (smoke extractor and heating) positioned at the bottom rear of the stove.
Any build-up of dust or ash on the blades can unbalance them resulting in noise during operation.
It is necessary to have the fans cleaned annually. Since such an operation involves dismantling certain parts of the stove, have the cleaning carried
out only by authorized personnel or other qualified persons.
DT2010096-05
7.12 When not in use
When shutting the stove down for the summer, proceed as follows:
-- remove all pellets from the hopper and feeding auger;
-- carefully clean the grate, the grate support and the ash drawer;
-- using a steel brush, clean the baffle plate or internal baffle plates of the firebox and coat them using the spray paint, supplied with the kit, to prevent
them from oxidising and consequently forming rust.
aaIf the cast-iron parts inside the firebox are not coated, rust could form. This is a natural process, which does not affect the efficiency
and quality of the product.
-- Clean the flue thoroughly: contact a professional chimneysweep for this purpose;
-- clean by removing all dust, cobwebs, etc. from the area behind the inner lining panels once a year, in particular the fans;
-- disconnect the power cable from the power supply;
-- remove the batteries from the remote control.
