2. INTENDED USE
The Astra pellet stove is an eective home heating appliance intended to heat a room with hot blown air. It simultaneously performs
the function of a replace as you view the re through the temperature-resistant glass. It can be installed in all kinds of residential spaces
where people work, relax or spend their time. In order to reduce any possible danger to human health and property, the stove Astra is
equipped with special safety devices. For added convenience, control of the appliance can be fully automated. Once programmed, the
Astra pellet stove is capable of maintaining dierent heating output levels at a variety of pre-set time intervals over the course of a day,

seven days a week; it sustains a set air temperature in the room with the help of an integrated temperature sensor; and it even makes the
decision to stop the appliance if unfavourable safety conditions arise: draught of the ue disappears or has fallen substantially, the door
of the stove is opened during the operation; the pellet hopper heats up; or other potentially harmful events happen. In addition, the stove
can be operated by a remote control unit (available by special order).
Only 6 mm wood pellets are used for fuelling the Astra stove. The appliance is not designed to be operated with any other kind of fuel
because other fuels leave a greater content of ashes and slag. The latter then will cause the re pot to clog, activating emergency stop of
the appliance. In order to enjoy the pleasant heat of the stove without unpleasant interruptions, use only high-quality 6 mm wood pellets
and keep the combustion chamber, re pot and ue channels of the stove cleaned at all times.
3. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

• CIRCUIT DIAGRAM
The electrical circuit diagram of the stove is presented below in Fig. 2. The denomination of elements is as follows:
The wood pellets are made from sawdust and wood shavings. The materials used for production of the wood pellets cannot contain
any unnatural components, for example, synthetic glue or paint. The density of the wood pellet varies according to the type of wood
and can be 1.5 – 2 times greater than that of conventional wood. The diameter of cylindrical rods is 6-10 mm and their length can vary
between 10 and 50 mm. Their weight is equal to about 650 kg/m3. Due to the low content of humidity (5-10%) wood pellets have
high energy content.
DIN 51731 standard denes the quality of wood pellets:
Length10-50 mm
Diameter6 - 10 mm
Weight 650 kg/m
Caloric value4.9 kWh/kg
Residual humidity6-12%
Ashes content<1.5%
Specic weight>1.0 kg/dm
The pellets must be transported and stored in a dry place. They
swell after contact with moisture and become unsuitable for
3
ring. The pellets must always be protected against humidity
both during transportation and storage.

Do not put a bag of pellets on the surface
of the stove during the loading operations!
Astra strongly advices using the 6 mm diameter
wood pellets for fuelling the Astra stove.
5. PLACEMENT, ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION
•CONSIDERATIONS FOR PLACEMENT OF THE STOVE
The residential space considered for the placement of the stove must meet the following technical requirements:
• Pipe connection to a chimney of 8 cm diameter must be installed;
2
• The supply of air for combustion must be assured either from other ventilated rooms through opening of at least 100 cm
from outside through the 35 mm air intake pipe;
• The permanent humidity of air in the room must not exceed 80%;
• A connection of electrical supply of 230V, 50 Hz must be installed;
• CE compliant earthing system must be present.
The placement of the stove is important for the successful heating of the room. Please, take into account the next considerations
before deciding where to place the stove:
• If the supply air needed for combustion is to be taken from another room, that room must be ventilated or have air inow from
outside. The stove can consume up to 40 m3 of air per hour at maximum, so the sucient amount of it must be supplied either from
outside or from another inner space of a house;
• The stove cannot be placed in the bathroom, near a shower or bath, or in another space with high humidity level;
• If wooden ooring is present in the desired place of installation, rst cover it with a protective re-resistant plate made from steel,
glass or ceramic;
• The room in which the stove is to be placed must have at least 30 m3 of volume;
• It is recommended to place the stove in the largest room of a house or in a room which has good connectivity with other inner spaces
of a house, so that the maximum circulation of heat would be ensured;
• Connection to the electrical supply must be done through a grounded socket. If the cable of the stove is not long enough to reach the
nearest socket, use a grounded extension cable;
• If another heating installation (stove, replace) without autonomous air supply is present in the room of considered placement of the
Astra stove, evaluate, whether there would be a sucient air supply for both appliances working simultaneously and if that kind of
double installation is allowed by local technical regulations;
, or directly
The stove must be installed and assembled only by qualied personnel.
• The stove must be placed so that easy access to it and to a chimney is ensured.
• The joints of chimney pipes must have temperature resistant gaskets in order to ensure sucient tightness of the connections;
• A separate chimney is mandatory for the Astra stove installation. It is not permitted to connect the stove to a shared ue;
• The connection of the air intake tube of the stove to an outside is not obligatory. If the air for combustion is taken from inner spaces

of the house, these must be ventilated so that up to 40 m3 of air inow is ensured;
• Do not use a mesh on the top of a chimney because it can reduce draught and cause problems for the stove functioning;
• When designing the chimney piping for the stove, do not use more than 3 pieces of 90° bends. The biggest distance between the
adjacent bends must not exceed 2,5 meters horizontally;
• If the stove is installed near non-ammable walls, a minimum distance of 10 cm should be left from the rear stove panel to the wall.
This distance must be increased to 20 cm, if the wall is covered with ammable nish. In either case, a 50 cm free space must be left
from lateral sides of the stove and 150 cm- from the front side. It is recommended to increase the mentioned distances further, if
very easily ammable objects like curtains are present in the vicinity of the stove.

chimney tee is installed in the outside part of the ue making it available for inspection.
Sucient draught is essential for the eciency of all chimneys. Draught arises from temperature dierences inside and outside of
the chimney, which consequently cause pressure dierences.
Weather and geographical conditions such as wind, snow, rain, altitude above sea level, fog, etc., can also have an impact on chimney
draught. Among them, wind is certainly the most important. Wind generally increases draught except in cases of downdraughts,

temperature inversions, or cross draughts caused by tall trees, hills, or buildings in close proximity to the chimney. These situations
can cause the smoke to be pushed back DOWN the chimney.
The installation, placement, and design of the chimney have a direct inuence on the stove’s functioning. Any negative inuence
of installation can be compensated for by reprogramming the stove controller.This adjustment must be done by qualied service
personnel.

6. TRANSPORTATION, STORAGE, UNPACKING
The stove is to be transported and packaged in original packaging of the manufacturer, protected from precipitation and dust. It
must be transported only in the vertical position, fastened to avoid sliding and falling. If the stove is transported any other way,
decorative surfaces may be damaged, cladding battered, control and regulation equipment broken, or the re pot may fall down and
harm the vermiculite plates. The appliance should be carefully loaded, unloaded and transported, to avoid any signicant impact.
The stoves can be loaded one on the top of another, because the packaging is designed so that the stoves may be transported and
stored in two decks. However, loading other objects on the top is prohibited as the packaging frame of the stove has been designed
specically to support the same stove.
The stove should also be stored in a vertical position, in a closed room protected from precipitation. The air humidity of the room
should not exceed 80%, in order to avoid condensate forming on the surfaces of the appliance. Storage temperatures may vary from
-40 °C to +60 °C. If the stove was transported or stored in sub-zero temperatures, then it should be moved to a place above zero for
no less than 2 hours before being used.
After the stove is delivered to the site, take o the packing frame and polyethylene lm, remove the stove from the packaging base.
Then check if all elements listed in a delivery kit are included. The delivery kit consists of the following: stove - 1 pc.; cable with plug
for electrical connection - 1 pc.; re pot - 1 pc.; protective handle - 1 pc.; user manual - 1 pc.; remote control (only when ordered
separately) - 1 pc.
The user manual is an integral part of the stove. Please, make sure that it remains with the stove, including
cases when it is transferred to another user or another place.

Check to ensure that painted surfaces have not been damaged during transportation, that the components are not bent, and that
the control and regulation equipment is intact. If you notice any damage or discrepancies, present your claims to the vendor company.
7. OPERATION
• DISPLAY AND REMOTE CONTROL
The remote control unit does not come in a standard delivery kit of a stove. It must be ordered separately.
The Astra stove controller consists of two parts: a display and a control board mounted near the base of the stove. The
display operates by principle of capacitive touchscreen. Pushing buttons on it requires good contact with the ngertip rather than
force. Therefore, the display will not react if gloves are worn while attempting to use the controller.

The stove is capable of sustaining the desired room temperature. It has a room temperature sensor for that purpose. The sensor must
be placed as far from the stove as its cord allows. The stove reacts to indications of the sensor and increases the heating power after
the air in the room has cooled down. When the temperature in the room rises, the stove decreases the heating power or even stops.
There are two ways to set the desired room temperature:
• use weekly timer programs;
• set the room temperature manually.
When using weekly timer, you describe time intervals for each day of a week and assign the desired temperatures to them. For more
information about time programing see the previous chapter Setting the Weekly Timer Programs.
It is also possible to set the desired room temperature manually. If a weekly timer program is active at the same time, the manually
set room temperature temporary gains priority. This priority disappears, when the current weekly timer program ends. When the next
time program starts, the room temperature again is controlled by the weekly timer.

• OUTPUT POWER REGULATION
The output power denes the maximum burning power level which will be used by the stove to heat the ambient air. There are six
power levels:
a rotations quantity of pellet transporting auger per time period and the quantity of supplied air for combustion simultaneously.
Thus, more pellets and more air are supplied to the burning pot. If the target room temperature is set, the stove chooses the optimal
burning power level itself. You can interfere with this process and set, for example, a higher power level if you want the stove to
achieve the target room temperature faster. When your goal is to decrease the consumption of pellets, you can diminish the burning
power level. In either case, the stove lowers the burning power level itself for better economy, after the target room temperature has

8. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Regular cleaning is of crucial importance for the continued operation of the stove. Failure to follow the cleaning schedule, or the use
of dirty fuel can clog the inner spaces of the stove. These impurities can hinder air supply to the combustion chamber and cause the
stove to stop working. To prevent this outcome, it is highly recommended that the user perform the cleaning activities specically as
described in the following chapters.

Page 20
Astra P-7 USER MANUAL
Before starting cleaning works, make sure that:
• The electrical supply switch on the rear panel of the stove is OFF;
• All stove components and ashes have cooled down suciently;
• Suitable tools will be used for cleaning;
• The electrical cable is unplugged when ue channels are to be cleaned.
When cleaning the combustion chamber, be careful and do not clog the pressure sensor’s pipe which
is mounted inside, on the left wall of the chamber, under a vermiculite plate. The pipe must remain
unobstructed.
The frequency of maintenance and cleaning depends directly on the quality of pellets used. Burning high quality pellets allows
you to devote less time and attention to cleaning activities, and to increase the periods between cleanings. Vice versa, bad quality
pellets will require shorter intervals between cleaning
tasks. The quality of the pellets and a sound adjustment
of combustion are essential to the reliable operation of
the stove.
The pellet stove is a generator of heat and technically
sophisticated appliance. Therefore, we strongly
recommend servicing by qualied personnel at least
once a year, at the star t of the heating season to ascertain
and ensure the continued function and eciency of all
the stove's components.

• EXTERIOR SURFACES CLEANING
To clean the surfaces on the painted metal parts, use a
cloth slightly moistened in water. If necessary, mild soap
may also be used. Rub the surfaces gently and with care.
Do not use any aggressive detergents
or solvents – they can cause serious
damage to the surfaces of the stove. Do not scrub
excessively the metal paint - the structured paint
surface changes its shading because of rubbing
impact.
• HEAT EXCHANGER TUBES CLEANING
The heat exchanger is composed of stainless steel
tubes. Smoke ows constantly around the outer surface
of the tubes leaving soot residues on them. These
residues must be removed every 2 days of operation. For
this purpose, inside the heat exchanger there is a scraper
which brushes the tubes' surfaces like a comb. Pull the
handle of the scraper 1 ( Fig. 12) towards yourself. To
complete the cleaning session, push and pull this handle
till halting several times.

Fig. 12 Frequently inspected elements and their locations.
The ashes drawer must be cleaned daily or every 2 days,
depending on the length of time the stove is used and
the quality of pellets used. To access the ashes drawer,
open the door, remove the ashes drawer 4 (Fig. 12) and
empty it.

•COMBUSTION CHAMBER CLEANING
Clean the combustion chamber every 2 days. Use a drum-type vacuum cleaner for cleaning the combustion chamber. Make sure
that no ashes are left after the cleaning session.
• FIRE POT CLEANING
A clean re pot is of essential importance to assure uninterrupted stove operation.
During the combustion process, increments of ashes and slag ll up the holes of the
pot (Fig. 14). These increments must be removed immediately because they block the
air ow. Inspect the holes frequently and make sure that the holes on the bottom as
well as those on the sides of the pot are clear and fully open (Fig. 13). Failure to keep
these holes clear leads to clogging, reducing the air supply and nally to automatic
shut-o of the stove.
Timely and scrupulous cleaning of the re pot prevents problems that in the longer
term could require the intervention of a technician to repair the stove.
• VERMICULITE PLATES CLEANING
The combustion chamber of the Astra pellet stove is lined with three vermiculite plates (Fig. 15). Vermiculite has high resistance to
heat, is lightweight and has excellent insulation properties. All these features ensure good combustion and eective performance of
the stove.
Fig. 15 Vermiculite plates kit.
During the combustion process, the vermiculite plates turn white giving the ame clear and shining look. When combustion is
regulated properly, the surface of these plates remains clean and white. Thus, the plates act as indicator – a light colour indicates that
the combustion quality is high, a dark colour signals that combustion quality is poor.
• Vermiculite plates do not require any specic maintenance. Gentle cleaning with a brush to remove any ash residue is all that is
necessary.
• Do not use any abrasive sponges to clean the most resistant spots – they could diminish the thickness of the vermiculite plates thus
creating critical points that may result in cracking.
• Do not use any wet cloths to clean the plates.
• Do not use the tube of a vacuum cleaner in direct contact with the vermiculite plates. Work keeping the tube’s head withdrawn at
a safe distance from the plates.
Vermiculite is resistant to heat. However, it
is fragile and not resistant to knocks. Please,
do not exercise strength; handle it with care when
moving.
Slight abrasion can appear on the vermiculite plates after a few hours
of ring. This is absolutely normal as the ame creates microgrooves
in the surface of the plates without imposing considerable damage.
The lifetime length of the vermiculite plates depends only on how
carefully their maintenance is performed.
1
2
Clean the vermiculite plates only after they
have cooled down. Use a vacuum cleaner to
remove the ashes.
• FLAME TRAP CLEANING
The ame trap must be taken out and cleaned every 2 days.
Perform this procedure after the stove cools down completely.
Fig. 16 presents the sequence of the ame trap removal.
The ame trap is located inside the combustion chamber, in its
top part. It rests on two supports – the front and the rear one.

Grasp the ame trap; pull it towards yourself until the lower part of the trap gets loose. Then, pull down it, remove the ame trap
from the chamber and clean. When done, work in the opposite sequence to place it back.
• FLUE CHANNELS CLEANING
The ue channels must be cleaned from combustion approximately once every three months. This period strongly depends upon
the quality of wood pellets. For this type of cleaning, it is recommended to consult with the technician who has installed the stove.
Use a drum-type vacuum cleaner only.
The ue of the stove has two channels: at the left and at the right side of the combustion chamber. These channels join together into
one smoke passage box near which the exhaust fan 16 (Fig. 1) is mounted. To access the inspection hatches of the ue channels, both
lateral panels and top cover of the stove must be removed. Before removing the top cover of the stove, the display has to be taken out
and disconnected. Work in the following order:
1. Remove the frame of the display. Using thin vertical screwdriver, locate two gaps in the left and the right side of the plastic frame
of the display. Turn the screwdriver inside those gaps, gently separate the frame from the display (Fig. 17a).
2. Take out the display. Use a PH1 size cross
screwdriver to unscrew four screws fastening the case
of the display. Lift the display (Fig. 17a).
The display is connected to the
controller board by RJ11 type data
cable. Do not forget to disconnect the cable
before taking out the display.
3. Remove the rooftop cover. Unscrew six M5 bolts
in the top rear side of the stove: three on the left
and three on the right side (Fig. 17b). Push the cover
towards the rear panel of the stove until its holders
get loose (Fig. 17). Then lift the cover and remove it.
4. Remove the lateral panels of the stove. Unscrew
bolts fastening the panels near the front grates at the
top part of the stove (Fig. 18a) and in the front and
the rear sides of the base plate of the stove. Raise the
panels and remove them (Fig. 18).
5. Open all four the inspection hatches. Unscrew
pairs of M5 bolts, remove gaskets and inspection lids
(Fig. 18b). Clean the ue channels in both sides of the
stove.
• PELLET HOPPER PROTECTION
AGAINST BURNING
1
2
The pellet hopper has a protection from overheating
and burning: the temperature sensor 6 and the
thermostat 12 (Fig.1). They operate independently
from the controller. If for any reason the hopper
starts overheating the thermostat stops the stove by
interrupting the electrical supply.
To restart operation of the stove, remove the
thermostat cover 2 (Fig. 19) and depress the button
behind it.
There is a place on the rear panel of the stove projected for hanging a protective handle 1 (Fig. 19). It is intended to prevent direct
contact of human hands with hot surfaces of the stove when doing maintenance. Use this handle as a tool, when pulling the scraper’s
handle out of the front grate and for other actions that require touching hot surfaces and elements of the stove.
9. TROUBLESHOOTING
The stove display provides warnings for alerts and errors which can occur during the operation of the controller. The alarm icons
in the indicator line of the display signal a problem. An alert notication is indicated by blinking icons, errors are indicated with
continuously lit icons. In case of an alert, the combustion system remains operational. In case of an error, the combustion system has
malfunctioned seriously and is disabled. To solve the problem, a service technician should be contacted.
