1. General safety information
The pellet stove Solida must only be installed and operated after the
operating instructions have been read and understood in full!
If you have any difficulty understanding the operating instructions, please contact
your Calimax sales partner.
Safety information
− The pellet stove may only be connected to the power supply after it has been cor-
rectly connected to the chimney.
− Ensure sufficient air supply in the room where the stove is installed when it is in op-
eration.
− The pellet supply is interrupted if there is a malfunction. Only restart the stove when
the source of error has been resolved.
− The safety grid fitted in the pellet hopper must not be removed.
− Objects that are not resistant to heat must not be placed on the stove or left within
the specified minimum distance.
− The mains plug socket must remain accessible after the stove has been installed.
− Never use liquid fuels to start up the stove or to reignite any embers.
− The combustion chamber door must not be opened during operation.
− The surfaces of the stove, the operating controls, the stove flue and the glass pane
may become extremely hot when the pellet stove is working. Only touch these
parts during operation with suitable protective clothing or aids.
− The device starts up automatically when in "standby mode". It must be ensured that
no persons unfamiliar with the operation of the pellet stove are left unsupervised in
the room due to the high temperatures that may be present on the glass.
− Make children and guests aware of these hazards.
− Waste must not be burnt in the stove.
− The stove may be transported by authorised specialists only.
2. General description of the device
The Solida pellet stove is designed for the clean and extremely efficient combustion
of standard 6 mm wood pellets. It is possible, even when using standard wood pellets, that there may be variations in operation during combustion, ash and slag formation.
Standard 8 mm wood pellets can also be used. However, any modifications must be carried out by the service technician!

When sufficient combustion air supply and extraction of the exhaust gases are en-
sured
When all safety instructions in these operating instructions are complied with
When all necessary safety equipment is present and functional.
Intended use also includes the timely and complete implementation of all necessary
cleaning and inspection work.
Any other additional use of the pellet stove without the written authorisation of the manufacturer is not the intended use.
The user is liable for any damages resulting from such use.
Note
Regulations
The various national regulations may also differ. The applicable
national regulations must be complied with.
2.2.2. Stove-specific dangers
Danger of burning
Various surfaces of the pellet stove can reach temperatures above 65°C in
operation.
These safety regulations and countermeasures protect against burning:
Avoid all contact with the hot exhaust pipe
Only carry out cleaning work when the pellet stove has cooled down
Only remove ash when completely cold (cooling time 20h)
Danger of fire
Various surfaces of the pellet stove can reach temperatures above 65°C in
operation.
It is absolutely prohibited to cover the pellet stove with blankets, cloth or
anything similar. These materials can ignite on hot surfaces.
Page 8
Danger of poisoning and suffocation
The flue gases from the pellet stove contain components dangerous
to health, including carbon monoxide.
Self-protection measures for rescuing unconscious persons:
Thoroughly air closed rooms before entering them.
Note
Carbon monoxide
- Blocks oxygen take-up and causes death
by suffocation
- Is a colourless and odourless gas
- Is produced in incomplete combustion processes
- Is heavier than air and collects on the floor.
Danger of electric shock
The following applies to main voltages with 50 Hz and an effective
duration of more than 1 second:
Currents over 50mA and voltages over 50V are life-threatening!
2.3. Liability
In the case of personal injury or damage to property, the manufacturer is only liable
for the construction standard and the safety of the machine if construction errors can
be proven.
No liability will be accepted in the case of:
• Unintended use
• Incorrect operation
• Insufficient maintenance
• Use of non-original spare parts
• Changes that are not authorised or according to regulations
WARNING!
Behaviour in case of a chimney fire!
Never pull the mains plug out. The integrated exhaust gas fan
prevents burn-back into the pellet stove.

2.6. General information about the fuel
You have chosen to heat your home with CO2 neutral wood as a fuel
. Pressing of waste wood into standardised wood pellets means that an inexpensive
fuel can be produced from untreated wood waste and converted cleanly and extremely efficiently into thermal energy when combusted.
2.6.1. What are wood pellets?
Wood pellets consist of 100% untreated wood waste (wood chips, sawdust, etc.). The
dry wood waste is shredded and pressed under high pressures to form wood pellets.
The addition of binders or other additives is not permitted.
The standards DIN 51731, ÖNORM M 7135 and DIN plus specify the following qualities
for wood pellets 6 mm in diameter:
Length: 10-33 mm
Diameter: 6 mm
Bulk weight: Approx. 650 kg/m3
Calorific value: 5 kWh/kg
Residual moisture:
< 10%
Ash content: < 0.5 %
Density: 1.12 kg/dm3
2 kg wood pellets are equivalent in energy to approx. 1 litre of heating oil. Volumetrically, 3 m³ wood pellets will replace approx. 1000 litres of heating oil.
Note
Wood pellets must be protected against moisture! They
will expand greatly if exposed to moisture and can no
longer be used as a fuel.
Keep wood pellets dry during transport and storage.
2.6.2. How can you recognise "good" wood pellets?
Differences in the quality of wood pellets can be due to the preparation and compressing of the raw material. The following quality features can be used for a basic
visual check of wood pellets when purchasing them. Precise quality features can
only be determined with suitable technical analysis equipment.
Superior quality The surface is shiny and smooth. The wood pellets are uniform in
length and have a low dust content.
Inferior quality The surface has vertical and horizontal cracks. The wood pellets
have different lengths and a high dust content.
