A. GENERAL INFORMATION

a.1 General safety rules

ATTENTION PLEASE!!! You can never be too cautious: before the installation read and comply with these fundamental Rules:

 All local regulations, including those referring to national and European laws, must be

respected while installing the stove.

 Verify if the electrical system and the mains outlets are able to bear the maximum absorption of

the stove, which is reported on the plate. Connect the stove to a norm-compliant, 230v – 50Hz mains outlet. Avoid using adapters, multiple sockets or extensions. Make sure the electrical system is provided with a norm-compliant earthing and differential switch.

● In order to install the stove you must respect the current laws regarding the exhausting through

the flue. It is advisable to connect the stove to the flue by a terminal, which should be easy to inspect. We remind you that it is necessary to refer to an authorized assistance center for the installation and periodical maintenance of the stove, so to check the efficiency of the flue draught, before and after the combustion work of the stove.

● While seasonally using the stove, in case of bad draught of unfavorable weather conditions

(temperature lesser than 0°C), verify if the flue is perfectly cohibented and not obstructed, so to avoid its freezing and the danger of a reflux.

● In case of fire inside the flue, immediately switch the stove off.

● The stove consumes as much air as it is necessary for the combustion; it is thus advisable to

connect the stove to the outside by a suitable piping, ending at the special slot on the back of the stove.

● Given the weight of the stove, before the installation, make sure the pavement is able to bear it.

● If the pavement is made of inflammable material, such as parquet or carpeting, position a plate

under the stove to protect it, (consider that, on the front of the stove, the plate should exceed the stove by at least 25/30cm).

● For your safety, it is advisable to maintain a distance of at least 20cm between the hot sides of

the stove and possibly inflammable covering materials (such as glass-beaded walls, wallpapers et cetera); otherwise, to use specific insulating materials, available on sale. Please make this consideration also regarding the furniture, armchairs, curtains and so on.

● In order to facilitate the possible interventions by the technical assistance, do not fit the stove

inside closed spaces and do not place it adjacent to the walls, for this may compromise the correct afflux of the air.

● The lack of draught by the flue (or, for instance, the obstruction or closing of the air entrance of

the grate, or of the grate itself) alters the functioning of the stove, which, while automatically switching-on, may provoke an excessive pellet dosage in the grate, due to delayed fire priming. Excessive smoke in the combustion chamber can cause an automatic priming of the fumes (gas), accompanied by a violent flame; in these conditions, we recommend never opening the combustion chamber door.

● Categorically avoid using inflammable liquids to start the fire; when the stove is on, the pellet

lighting is automatic.

● The pellets feeding the stove must necessarily present the characteristics described in this

handbook.

● Do not touch the glass when the stove reaches its temperature; be cautious before touching the

stove.

● Avoid letting children close to the stove on their own, when it is on, because each hot surface

can provoke severe burns.

● Do not perform interventions on the stove, apart from those expected for a regular functioning or

suggested in this handbook in order to solve slight problems. In any case,

always unplug the stove from the power supply before an intervention, and operate solely when the stove is cold.

● It is absolutely forbidden to remove the guard protecting the pellet tank.

● Always make sure and check for the combustion chamber door to be hermetically closed when

the stove is lighting or functioning.

● The pellet automatic lighting is the most delicate phase; in order for it to take place without

inconveniences, we recommend always to keep the stove and the grate clean.

 If anomalies in the functioning should occur, light the stove again only after fixing the problem

at its origin.

 Karmek Srl is not responsible for inconveniences, tampering, breakages or any other damage

due to non-observance of the instructions reported in this handbook.

a.5 Guarantee

The guarantee certificate, which we consigned to you when you purchased the stove, must be sent to the producer firm Karmek Srl, 8 days after delivery date the latest; otherwise, the guarantee itself will no longer be valid. The estimated 24-months guarantee is valid exclusively when the installation and test are performed by an authorized Karmek assistance center.

We would like to make clear that the guarantee expires in case of tampering, breakages, and similar, due to non-observance of the instructions reported in this handbook.

a.6 Suitable fuel

The stove functions solely by pellets, a cylinder-shaped fuel made out of a mixture of various wooden materials; pellets are compliant to DIN 51731 regulations.

The following list summarizes the main characteristics of recommended pellets:

Diameter

6-6,5mm

Maximum length

20-25mm

Caloric output

Approx. 4.600 Kcal/Kg

Humidity

<12%

Ash conte

<1,5%

Specific weight and density

Kg/dm

=1,0

1,4

The stove is built to burn not-resinous, preferably beech-wood pellets; therefore, using pellets whose characteristics are different from the ones listed above reduces its efficiency, provokes a bad combustion and the formation of incrustations.

Should you use different pellets from the ones recommended the stove’s guarantee would expire.

a.7 Ordering spares

Exclusively authorized Karmek technical personnel must perform interventions of any entity.

Please refer to the authorized assistance center or to your retailer for possible requests of spares.

a.8 Waste material

Do not drop electrical

device

s among domestic

waste. According to the European Directive

2002/96/CE regarding electrical and electronic devices’ waste material, and its application

conformity to national regulations, exhausted

electrical devices must be collected separately,

order to be reutilized in an eco-friendly way.

B. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

b.1 Initial warnings

The device must be installed on a pavement that presents an adequate burden capacity. If the existing building does not satisfy this requirement, appropriate measures (for instance a burden distribution plate) must be taken.

The installation of the device must guarantee an easy access to clean the stove, the exhausted gas piping and the flue.

Extraction fans can cause problems, when used in the same room or space of the device.

b.2 Moving and transporting

Make sure that the devised used for lifting and transporting the stove support its weight, which is reported on the identity plate on the back of the stove. The lifting of the stove is normally performed with an elevation trolley, by inserting the pitchforks in the proper slots of the wooden packing. In order to position the stove inside a room, a good general rule is to lay the stove on the floor gently, with maximum caution and avoiding any violent impact.

b.3 Positioning

For positioning the stove, we suggest you to choose a spot that is as central as possible to the area you wish to heat; this will facilitate a uniform distribution of the heat and will help obtaining an optimum efficiency.

We recommend putting a floor-guarding plate close to the flue or to inflammable materials (such as parquet or carpeting).

For safety reasons, maintain a distance of at least 20cm

between the hot sides of the stove and possibly inflammable covering materials (such as glass-beaded walls, wallpapers et cetera); otherwise, use specific insulating materials, available on sale.

L=20 cm min. B=20 cm min. R=20 cm min.

b.4 Installing the flue gas outlet

The installation can be performed either without a masonry flue, or with an existing flue.

FIG 1. INSTALLATION WITHOUT A MASONRY FLUE

Flue gas outlet Ø 80 – Using an easy to inspect T-joint, reach the outside of the building horizontally; proceed vertically until you reach the roof with a cohibented flue, equipped with an anti-wind chimneystack. All the joints must be sealed.

FIG. 2. INSTALLATION WITH AN EXISTING FLUE

Flue gas outlet Ø 80 – Reach the existing flue horizontally, making sure that it presents a minimum section of 200cm² and an easy to inspect base, for its annual cleaning. All the joints must be sealed.

IMPORTANT!! We recommend you to have the installing technician verify the efficiency and the state of the flue, the observance of national and local laws regarding flue gas outlets’ joints, and to use appropriate materials.

The information reported above is purely indicative for a correct installation; Karmek Srl is not responsible for what concerns the installation.

b.5 Installing the combustion air inlet pipe

For any described solution, two alternatives are possible:

● Draw the air directly from the outside through a piping (internal Ø 50mm; max length 1,5m),

connected to the air inlet pipe on the back of the stove.

● Draw the air directly from the installation room, given that in the proximity of the stove an air

inlet pipe (minimum area 100 cm²) is installed on the sidewall, so that it communicates with the outside.

In both cases, periodically verify that nothing has obstructed the passage of the air.

IMPORTANT: This device cannot be used on a shared flue.

b.6 Connecting to the power supply

Verify if the electrical system and the mains outlets present the capacity to support the maximum absorption of the stove, which is reported on the plate.

Make sure the system is provided with a norm-compliant earthing and differential switch.

The stove must be connected to a norm-compliant, 230v – 50Hz mains outlet. Avoid using adapters, multiple sockets or extensions.

Make sure the cable connecting to the system is not touching any hot surface of the stove; also make sure the stove is not treading on the cable.

The engine of the stove is protected by a fuse, which is inserted in the general switch on the back of the stove.

Remember always to unplug the stove from the power supply before performing any maintenance and/or control intervention.

ELECTRICAL SCHEME

C. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

c.1 Initial warnings

All regulations, included those referring to national and European laws, must be respected when installing the device.

Do not use the device as an incinerator or in any other way than that for which it was designed.

Do not use any fuel other than pellets.

Do not use liquid fuels.

The device, and its external surfaces specifically, reach an elevate temperature when working; handle with care to avoid burns.

Do not perform any unauthorized alteration to the device.

Only use original spares, recommended by the building firm.

c.2 Introduction

The pellet stove combines the heat of a flame with the comfort of an automatic management of the temperature, of the lighting and the switching-off, with the possibility of a multiple days programming. The automatic loading and the consistent capacity of the tank allow the pellet stove to perform automatically for a longer time, and they permit a better management of the device.

If the stove reaches the set values and the temperature keeps constant for a certain amount of time (defined by the building firm), the device will not furthermore feed the flame. When the fumes’ temperature falls at a value defined by the building firm, the stove will automatically light the flame up again.

The stove must always function with its door peremptorily closed.

It is necessary that outlet system of the flue gas be properly sealed.

To ensure a good efficiency and a correct functioning, it is necessary that the stove is always clean.

c.3 Display

In the following scheme, we report the various functions of the display.

IMPORTANT: If the temperature is not set within a few seconds, the display will automatically return to the previous screenshot.

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).

c.7 Switching off the stove

You can switch the stove off by pushing the key n. 4 for a few seconds. The message “OFF” will appear on the display; the pellet flow is interrupted and the speed of the smoke intake motor will increase to lower the temperature. The stove will complete its cycle and will switch off automatically.

In case of involuntary switching off, it is sufficient to push the key n. 6 for approximately 2 seconds. This operation will immediately restart the working phase “ON”; the complete lighting phase can be spared if the temperature of the fumes is higher than 50°-60°.

c.8 The remote control

The provided remote control permits to perform the following functions:

- to light and to switch off the stove:

point the remote control while pushing the upper keys, marked by the symbol “+”

- to vary the power of the flame:

push the “+” and “-“keys marked by the fire symbol

- to regulate the room temperature:

push the “+” and “-“keys marked by the thermometer symbol

c.9 Managing the automatic lighting (chronothermostat)
