1-WARNINGS AND WARRANTY CONDITIONS

SPARE PARTS

In the event of a malfunction, consult the retailer who will forward the call to the Technical Assistance Service.

Only use original spare parts. The retailer or service centre can provide all necessary information regarding spare parts. We do not recommend waiting for the parts to get worn out before having them replaced. It is important to perform regular maintenance.

The company declines all liability if the product and any other accessory is used improperly or modied without authorisation. All parts must be replaced with original spare parts.

WARNINGS FOR THE CORRECT DISPOSAL OF THE PRODUCT.

The owner is the sole party responsible for demolishing and disposing of the product. This must be performed in compliance with laws related to safety and environmental protection in force in his/her country. At the end of its working life, the product must not be disposed of as urban waste. It must be taken to a special dierentiated waste collection centre set up by the local authorities or to a retailer that provides this service. Separating and recycling prevents potential negative eects on the environment and health (often caused by inappropriately disposing of product parts). It also allows materials to be recovered in order to obtain signicant savings in energy and resources.

2-FUEL

The instructions in this chapter refer explicitly to the Italian installation regulation UNI 10683. In any case, always observe the regulations in force in the country of installation.

PELLETS

Wood pellets are manufactured by hot-extruding compressed sawdust which is produced during the working of natural dried wood. The compactness of the material is guaranteed by the lignin contained in the wood itself and allows pellets to be produced without glue or binders. The market oers dierent types of pellets with characteristics that vary according to the wood mixtures used. The most common diameter on the market is 6 mm (although 8 mm diameter is available too) with a length, on average, of between 5 and 30 mm. A good quality pellet has a density of between 600 and 750 or more kg/metres cubed and a water content that accounts for 5 to 8% of its weight. Pellets have technical advantages besides being an ecological fuel, as the wood residue is used completely, thereby achieving cleaner combustion than that of fossil fuels. While good-quality wood has a caloric value of 4.4 kW/kg (15% moisture, after about 18 months of seasoning), whereas that of pellets is around 4.9 kW/kg. To ensure good combustion, the pellets must be stored in a dry place and protected from dirt. Pellets are usually supplied in 15 kg bags, therefore, storing them is very convenient. Good quality pellets guarantee good combustion, thereby decreasing harmful emissions into the atmosphere.

15 Kg BAGS OF FUEL

The poorer the quality of the fuel, the more often the internal parts of the brazier and combustion chamber must be cleaned.

The main quality certications for pellets currently available on the European market guarantee that the fuel complies with class A1/A2 according to EN14961-2. These certications include, for example, ENPlus, DINplus, Ö-Norm M7135, and in particular, guarantee the following characteristics:

• caloric value: 4.6 ÷ 5.3 kWh/kg.

• Water content: ≤ 10% of the weight.

• Percentage of ash: max 1.5% of the weight.

• Diameter: 6±1/8±1 mm.

• Length: ≤ 40 mm.

• Content: 100% untreated wood without the addition of binding substances (max 5% bark).

• Packaging: in sacks made from ecologically compatible or biologically decomposing material.

The company strongly recommends using certied fuel for its products (ENplus, DINplus, Ö-Norm M7135). Poor quality pellets or others that do not comply with the characteristics specied previously may compromise the operation of your product and can therefore make the guarantee and product liability invalid.

3-INSTALLATION

FOREWORD

The installation position must be chosen according to the room, to the smoke extraction system, to the chimney ue. Check with local authorities whether there are any restrictive regulations in force regarding the combustion air inlet, the smoke outlet system, the ue or the chimney cap. The manufacturer declines all responsibility in the event of installations that do not comply with the laws in force, incorrect room air exchange, electrical connection non-compliant with the standards and inappropriate use of the appliance. The installation must be carried out by a qualied technician, who must issue a declaration of conformity of the system to the purchaser and will assume full responsibility for nal installation and consequent good operation of the product. In particular one must ensure that:

• there is a suitable combustion air inlet and smoke outlet in compliance with the type of product installed

• other stoves or devices installed do not cause depression in the room where the product is installed (for sealed appliances only, a

maximum of 15 Pa of depression in the room is allowed)

• when the product is switched on there is no reux of smoke in the room

• fumes extraction takes place in total safety (sizing, smoke seal, distances from ammable materials..).

We especially recommend to check the data tags of the ue for the safety distances that must be observed in presence of combustible materials and the type of insulating material to be used. These indications must be followed strictly to prevent serious harm to people and the integrity of the home. The installation of the appliance must ensure easy access to clean the appliance itself, the smoke outlet pipes and the ue. It is forbidden to install the stove in rooms with a re hazard. Installation in studio ats, bedrooms and bathrooms is only allowed with sealed or closed appliances equipped with suitable combustion air ducting directly outside. Always maintain adequate distance and protection in order to prevent the product from coming into contact with water.

In the event there are several appliances installed, the external air inlet must be sized accordingly.

MINIMUM DISTANCES

It is recommended to install the stove detached from any walls and/or furniture, with a minimum clearance to allow eective aeration of the appliance and a good distribution of heat in the room. Observe the distances from ammable or heat-sensitive objects (sofas, furniture, wood panelling, etc..) as specied. The front distance from ammable materials must be at least 80 cm. If particularly delicate objects are present, such as furniture, curtains or sofas, increase the stove clearance accordingly.

If the oor is made of wood, it is recommended to t a oor protection sheet in compliance with the Standards in force in the country of installation.

FLAT - FLAIR Non-ammable walls Flammable walls

Comfort Air

If the oor is made of combustible material, it is recommended to use protection made of non-combustible material (steel, glass...) that also protects the front from falling combusted material during cleaning operations. The appliance must be installed on a oor with adequate load capacity. If the existing construction does not meet this requirement, one must take appropriate measures (for example a load distribution plate).

4-FLUE

FOREWORD

The Chimney Flue chapter has been drawn up with reference to the provisions of European Standards (EN13384 - EN1443 - EN1856 EN1457). The chapter provides instructions for installing a chimney ue eciently and properly, but under no circumstances is it a substitute of the Standards in force, which the qualied technician must be in possession of. Check with local authorities whether there are any restrictive regulations in force regarding the combustion air inlet, the smoke outlet system, the ue or the chimney cap. The company declines all liability relating to the poor functioning of the stove if this is due to the use of an insuciently sized ue in violation of the Standards in force.

CHIMNEY FLUE

The ue or chimney is of great importance for the proper operation of a solid fuel-burning heating appliance with forced draught, as modern heating appliances have high eciency with cooler ue gasses and consequently less draught, it is therefore essential that the ue is built up to standard and always kept in perfect order. A ue that serves a pellet/wood fuelled appliance must be at least category T400 (or greater if the appliance requires so) and resistant to soot res. Smoke must be extracted through a single ue made of insulated steel (A) or an existing ue that complies with the intended use (B). A simple air shaft made of cement must be suitably lined. In both solutions there must be an inspection cap (AT) and/or inspection hatch (AP) - FIG.1. It is forbidden to connect more than one wood/pellet-burning appliance or of any other kind (vent hoods... ) to the same ue.

TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS

Have the eciency of the ue checked by an authorised technician. The ue must be sealed against ue gasses, in a vertical direction without narrowing, be made with materials impermeable to smoke, condensation, thermally insulated and suitable to resist normal mechanical stress over time (we recommend replaces made of A/316 or refractory material with insulated round section double chamber). Be suitably insulated externally to avoid condensation and reduce smoke cooling. It should be separated from combustible or ammable materials with an air gap or insulating materials: check the distance specied by the manufacturer of the replace according to EN1443. The chimney opening must be in the same room as the appliance, or at most in the adjoining room, and have a soot and condensation collection chamber beneath the opening, and be accessible via a sealed metal hatch.

SIZING

The depression (draught) of a ue depends on its height. Check the depression with the values indicated in the technical characteristics. The minimum height of the chimney is 3.5 meters.

The interior cross-section of the ue can be round (best), square or rectangular (the ratio between the internal sides must be ≤1.5) with the sides joined with a minimum radius of 20 mm. The dimension of the cross-section must be minimum Ø100mm.

The cross-sections/lengths of the chimneys shown in the technical data tables are indications for correct installation. Any alternative congurations must be correctly sized in accordance with the general method of calculation of UNI EN13384-1 or other proven eciency methods.

Below is a list of some ues available on the market:

AISI 316 steel chimney with double chamber insulated with ceramic bre or equivalent resistant up to 400°C.

Refractory chimney with double insulated chamber and external lightweight concrete cladding with cellular material such as clay.

Traditional square-section clay chimney with insulating empty inserts.

Avoid products with an internal rectangular section where the larger side is 1.5 times the smaller side (e.g. 20x40 or 15x30).

EXCELLENT GOOD POOR VERY POOR

4-FLUE

MAINTENANCE

The ue must be kept clean, since the deposit of soot or unburned oils reduces the cross-section reducing the draft and thus compromising the ecient operation of the stove and, if large build-ups accumulate, can catch re. The ue and chimney must be cleaned and checked by a qualied chimney sweep at least once a year. Once maintenance has been performed, request a written declaration that the system is safe. Failure to clean the system jeopardises safety.

CHIMNEY CAP

The chimney cap is a crucial element for the heating appliance to work properly: we recommend a wind proof chimney cap (A), see Figure

7. The area of the openings for smoke extraction must be at least double the cross-section of the smoke duct/ue system, and arranged so that smoke extraction is ensured even in strong wind. The chimney must prevent rain, snow or animals from entering the chimney. The height of outow into the atmosphere must be beyond the reux area due to the shape of the roof or any obstacles near the outlet (see Figures 2-3-4-5-6).

EXTERNAL AIR INLET

It is mandatory to provide an adequate external air intake that supplies the combustion air required for the product to work properly. The ow of air between the outside and the installation room may be direct, through an inlet in an external wall of the room; or indirect, via air intake from adjoining rooms and connecting permanently with the installation room (see Figure 9 b). Adjoining areas may not include sleeping areas, garages or general areas that present a re hazard. During installation one must check the minimum clearances required for air intake from outside. Take into account the presence of doors and windows that could interfere with the proper ow of air to the stove (see diagram below). The air intake must have a minimum total net area of 80 cm2: the surface must be increased accordingly if within the room there are other active generators (for example: electric fan for stale air extraction, kitchen hood, other stoves, etc...), which could cause cause depression in the room. One must verify that, with all the equipment on, the pressure drop between the room and the outside does not exceed a value of 4 Pa. If necessary increase the intake section of the air inlet, which must be made at oor level and always protected with a bird-proof outer protection grid and in such a way that it cannot be obstructed by any object.

CONNECTION TO THE FLUE

The connection between the ue and the appliance must be via a smoke duct that complies with EN 1856-2. The connecting section must extend no more than 4 m horizontally, with a minimum slope of 3% and with a maximum of 3 90% bends (accessible for inspection - do not count the T tting at the appliance outlet). The diameter of the smoke duct must be equal to or greater than that of the appliance outlet (Ø 80 mm).

Horizontal sections (minimum slope 3%)

Use smoke ducts with a diameter of 80mm or 100mm depending on the type of system, with silicone gaskets or similar gaskets that can withstand the high operating temperatures of the appliance (min. T200 class P1). The use of exible metal hoses made of bre cement or aluminium is forbidden. For direction changes, we always recommend using a T tting with an inspection cap allowing easy access to clean the pipes. Always ensure that the inspection cap is put back in place and sealed hermetically with the relevant seal intact after cleaning. It is forbidden to connect several appliances to the same smoke duct, or the outlet from the overhead hoods. It is forbidden to extract the combustion products directly through the wall, whether into indoor spaces or outdoors. The smoke duct must be at a minimum distance of 400 mm from ammable or heat-sensitive structures.

EXAMPLES OF CORRECT INSTALLATION

1. Installation of Ø120mm ue with hole for the passage of the pipe increased by: minimum 100mm around the pipe if next to non ammable parts such as cement, brick, etc.; or minimum 300mm around the pipe (or as required by data

tags) if next to ammable parts such as wood etc. In both cases, install suitable insulation between the ue and the ceiling.

Always check and respect the data tags on the ue, in particular the minimum safety distances from combustible materials. The previous rules also apply for holes made in walls.

2. Old ue, minimum pipe Ø100mm with the inclusion of an external access door for chimney cleaning.

3. External ue made of insulated stainless steel pipes, i.e. with double walls minimum Ø100mm: all securely mounted on the wall. With wind-proof chimney cap. See g. 7 type A.

4. Ducting system using T tting that allow easy access for cleaning without having to remove the pipes

The air can be channelled by fastening a exible pipe on the rear part of the product with a clamp, in line with the hole on the upper part.

The air can now be released from the front and rear, only from the front or only from the rear. These channels can also be walled in (SEE OPTIONALS).

Room ventilation can only be set towards the rear wall if there is adequate insulated ducting of the hot air ow.

The air outlet pipe can become very hot, approx. 200°C: therefore, it must be adequately insulated with suitable material, especially points that could come in contact with ammable surfaces or parts that are aected by heat (e.g. change in shades, wiring ducts, plasterboard, etc.). Moreover, persons and animals must be protected from accidental or intentional contact. In any case, comply with the regulations and laws in force in the region where the product is installed.

6-INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY

It is recommended to insulate the entire length of the pipe in order to reduce dispersion and increase heat output in the room.

BEFORE START-UP

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

Remove all components that could burn from the brazier and the glass (manual, various adhesive labels and any polystyrene).

Check that the brazier is positioned correctly and rests properly on the base.

After a long period of inactivity, remove any pellets left in the hopper (using a vacuum cleaner with a long pipe), as they could have absorbed moisture, thereby altering their original characteristics and no longer being suitable for combustion.

The rst start-up may not be successful as the feed screw is empty and does not always manage to load the required amount of pellets in the brazier in time for the re to be regularly ignited.

CANCEL THE FAILED START-UP ALARM STATUS BY BRINGING SELECTOR “D” TO OFF. REMOVE THE PELLETS FROM THE BRAZIER AND REPEAT START-UP.

If a ame does not ignite after a number of failed start-ups, even though the pellet supply is correct, make sure the brazier is set in place correctly, which must be interlocked in its seat and clean from any ash deposits. If no anomaly is found during this inspection, there may be a problem with the product components or installation may not be correct.

REMOVE THE PELLETS FROM THE BRAZIER AND CONTACT AN AUTHORISED TECHNICIAN.

Avoid touching the stove during the initial start-up, as the paint hardens during this phase. If you touch the paint, the steel surface may be exposed.

If necessary, touch up the paint with the spray can of the specic colour (see “Pellet stove accessories”).

6-INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY

It is good practice to guarantee eective ventilation in the room during the initial start-up, as the stove will emit some smoke and smell of paint.

Do not stand close to the stove and air the room. The smoke and smell of paint will disappear after about an hour of operation, however, remember they are not harmful in any case. The stove will be subject to expansion and contraction during the start-up and cooling phases, therefore light creaking noises may be heard. This is absolutely normal as the structure is made of laminated steel and must not be considered a defect. It is extremely important to make sure the stove is not immediately overheated and the temperature is increased gradually starting from the low power. This will prevent damaging the ceramic or serpentine tiles, the welds and the steel structure.

DO NOT EXPECT HEATING EFFICIENCY IMMEDIATELY!

SETTINGS TO BE CARRIED OUT BEFORE THE INITIAL START-UP

Once the power cable is connected in the rear part of the stove, bring the switch to position (I). Switch the stove on and o by pressing key A on the remote control and LEDs B or C on the emergency panel will light up according to the mode of the stove.

6-INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY

LOADING THE PELLETS

Fuel is loaded by lifting the cover on the upper part of the product. Slowly pour the pellets into the hopper.

Be careful as the cover could become very hot.

LIFT THE COVER.

INSERT THE PELLETS.

No other type of fuel other then pellets, in compliance with above-mentioned specications, is to be inserted into the hopper.

Select this operating mode to switch the product on and o automatically, according to 6 customised time bands (P1 – P6). The following can be set for each time band:

• Start-up time.

• Shutdown time.

• Desired room temperature during that time band.

• Days of the week when the time band is to be activated.

Days of the week when the time band is to be activated. When the product is switched on (manually via button A or automatically via a time band), it operates in the automatic mode, described above. A time band appears automatically when it is active (P1 in gure 3) and the desired temperature is changed to the value set in the time band. However, the user can always modify this value as desired and in real time. Refer to “Timer Settings” to learn how to set the time bands.

ECO MODE (ECO)

This mode is activated/deactivated by pressing key B for 5” on the remote control while it is switched on. ECO is an automatic mode with the only dierence that if the set temperature is reached and remains so for the subsequent 20 minutes (despite ame modulation), the product is switched o and remains on stand by until the room temperature drops 2 degrees below the desired temperature (and in any case for at least 5 minutes from the last shutdown). The product is then switched on again, Figure 4. If the room is not suciently insulated, ame modulation does not allow the set temperature to be met for 20 consecutive minutes and the product will not go o.

NOTE: it is recommended to use the ECO mode only in well-insulated rooms in order to prevent start-up and shutdown from occurring within short periods of time.

The remote control remains on even when the product is o when in ECO mode, in order to indicate that this shutdown is only temporary. Obviously, if the product is switched o from key A, ECO mode is exited and the product remains o. Up to 6 automatic start-up and shutdown time bands (E1 – E6) can also be set in ECO mode, which are independent from those of TIMER mode (P1 – P6). If they have been activated, TIMER-ECO appears on the display (gure 5) permanently, even if the remote control is switched o. Refer to “Timer Settings” to learn how to set the time bands.

NOTE: if the remote control is switched o in TIMER mode, ECO mode can only be re-activated by the user (key A) or when started-up by the next valid time band. Combined use of TIMER and ECO modes requires a good knowledge of the product operating logic.

DELETING THE ALARM STATUS

Follow the procedure described below to restore normal product operation after an alarm has been triggered:

• Set selector D on the rear emergency panel to OFF for a few seconds until the 3 digit alarm identication code disappears. The red LED

stops ashing and the alarm buzzer is silenced by performing the steps below.

• Set selector D back to the REMOTE position for product operation to be remote controlled.

• Switch the remote control o and then on again if the product is to be switched on.

Move the remote control within the product reception range (or change the batteries of the remote control if they are at). The alarm alerts will disappear as soon as the appliance receives a new signal from the remote control. A simple way of forcing signal transmission to the product is by pressing button 4 (which changes the operating mode from manual to automatic and vice versa).

preset operating hours before maintenance is due have elapsed and a qualied technician, recommended by the manufacturer, must be contacted for maintenance to be performed.

Only if alarm A12 is triggered (no communication between the remote control and the product), the appliance remains on according to the last mode set and automatically exits the alarm mode when the rst signal is received from the remote control.

9-SAFETY DEVICES AND ALARMS

BLOCKED PRODUCT

The following may cause the product to be mechanically blocked:

• The structure overheats (“A03”).

• The smoke is overheated (“A04”).

• During product operation, air that has not been controlled in the combustion chamber has entered or the chimney is clogged (“A05”).

SOLUTIONS:

If “A03” appears, the structure is too hot because the product has been used for too long at the maximum power or due to poor ventilation or because the air fans are faulty. When the product is suciently cold, press button B on the control panel to delete alarm A03. Once the alarm is deleted, the product can be switched on. If “A04” appears, the product will shutdown automatically, let it cool down for a few minutes and then switch it on again. Delete the alarm and switch the product on again. If “A05” appears, the door has been left open for too long or a signicant amount of air has entered (e.g. missing smoke fan inspection cap). If these causes are excluded, check and if necessary clean the smoke duct and chimney.

Only after having eliminated the cause permanently can the product be switched on again.

10-MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

EXAMPLE OF A CLEAN BRAZIER EXAMPLE OF A DIRTY BRAZIER

ATTENTION! All the cleaning operations of all parts must be performed with a completely cold product and the plug disconnected.

The product requires little maintenance if used with certied good quality pellets.

DAILY OR WEEKLY CLEANING PERFORMED BY THE USER

BEFORE EACH START-UP

Clean the ash and any deposits in the brazier that could clog the air passage holes. If the pellets in the hopper nish, unburned pellets may accumulate in the brazier. Always empty the residue in the brazier before starting-up.

REMEMBER THAT ONLY A CORRECTLY POSITIONED AND CLEAN BRAZIER CAN GUARANTEE START-UP AND OPTIMAL OPERATION OF YOUR PELLET PRODUCT.

For the brazier to be cleaned properly, remove it from its housing completely and thoroughly clean all the holes and the grate on the bottom. If good quality pellets are used, you will normally only need to use a brush to restore the optimal operating conditions of the component.

CHECKS TO BE PERFORMED EVERY 2/3 DAYS

Clean and empty the ash pan, being careful of hot ashes. Only if the ash is completely cold can a vacuum cleaner be used to remove it. In this case, use an adequate vacuum cleaner to remove particles that are not so small. Experience and the quality of the pellets will determine the cleaning frequency required. However, it is

recommended not to exceed 2 or 3 days.

CLEANING THE ASH COLLECTION COMPARTMENT

10-MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

CLEANING THE GLASS

It is recommended to clean the ceramic glass with a dry brush, or if it is very dirty, spray a little specic detergent and clean with a cloth.

ATTENTION! Do not use abrasive products and do not spray the glass spray cleaner on the painted parts or the door gaskets (ceramic bre cord).

PERIODIC CLEANING PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN

CLEANING THE HEAT EXCHANGER

The compartment through which the exhaust smoke passes must be cleaned at the of the winter season.

This cleaning process is mandatory in order to facilitate the general removal of all combustion residue, before it becomes very dicult to remove it due to the humidity compacting it over time. If necessary, clean it more often.

It is good practice to guarantee eective ventilation in the room while cleaning the product.

CLEANING THE EXCHANGER:

When the stove is cold, open the door, remove pan “M” and brazier “N”; remove the side plates “O” and “P” by turning them slightly inwards for them to come out of their grooves and then pull them towards you (be careful as they can break easily). Once the side plates are removed, lift plate “H” slightly, tilt it downwards and remove it. Then remove the upper plate “Q” by inserting the cold handle or another tool in slot “Y” on the upper part and lifting plate “Q”. Remove it from its seat by lifting it and then tilting it slightly downwards. Scrape the walls of the rebox with a rigid rod or a bottle brush into plate “Q” that has just been removed, for the ash to fall into the lower ash collection compartment. Once the upper exchanger is cleaned, remove plate “L” after having removed the two screws, and use the nozzle of a vacuum cleaner to remove the ash and soot accumulated in the lower exchanger and around brazier “N”. Clean and reassemble everything.

10-MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

CLEANING THE SMOKE DUCT AND GENERAL CHECKS:

Clean the smoke exhaust, especially around the T-ttings, curves and any horizontal sections. Remove the side to clean the T-tting. For information on cleaning the ue, contact a chimney sweeper. Check the tightness of the ceramic bre gaskets on the door of the product. If necessary, order new replacement gaskets from the retailer or contact an authorized service centre to carry out this task.

ATTENTION: The frequency with which the smoke exhaust must be cleaned depends on the use of the stove and the type of installation. The company recommends contacting an authorised service centre for end-of-season maintenance and cleaning as the above-mentioned operations will be performed together with a general inspection of the components.

END-OF-SEASON SHUTDOWN

At the end of each season, before switching the product o, it is recommended to remove all the pellets from the hopper with a vacuum cleaner that has a long pipe.

The appliance must be disconnected from the mains when it is not used. It is recommended to remove the power cable for additional safety, especially in the presence of children.

The service fuse may have to be replaced if the control panel display does not go on when the product is next switched on by pressing the main switch on its side. There is a fuse compartment on the side of the product, under the power socket. After having disconnected the plug from the socket, use a screwdriver to open the cover of the fuse compartment and if necessary, replace them (3.15 A delayed).

CHECKING THE INTERNAL COMPONENTS

ATTENTION! The internal electromechanical components must only be checked by qualied personnel whose technical expertise includes combustion and electricity.

It is recommended to perform this routine maintenance annually (with a scheduled service contract), which focuses on a visual and functional verication of the internal components. The following is a summary of the necessary checks and/or maintenance for the product to work correctly.
