INSTALLATION AND USE MANUAL
2. THEORETICAL NOTIONS ON INSTALLATION
2.1. PELLETS
Wood pellets are manufactured by hot-extruding compressed sawdust
which is produced during the working of natural dried unpainted wood.
The compactness of the material comes from the lignin which is
contained in the wood itself, and allows the production of pellets
without the use of glues or binders.
The market offers different types of pellet with characteristics which
vary depending on what mixture of woods is used. The diameter goes
from 6 mm to 8 mm and the standard length is between 5 mm and 30
mm. A good quality pellet has a density between 550 kg/m
3
with a water content that is between 5% and 8% by weight.
kg/m
In order to guarantee the stated hourly consumption rates and
to optimise combustion, for pellet stoves MCZ has prepared a
patented method which makes it possible to identify and
classify any kind of pellet with a diameter of 6 mm and 8 mm
based on its specific weight and piece size.
By using the special PelletBox® and following the procedure set out in
the paragraph on lighting the stove, the user can determine the correct
settings for configuring the stove.
Along with being an ecological fuel which makes the best use of wood
residues thus producing cleaner combustion than that produced with
fossil fuels, pellets also have technical advantages. Whereas good wood
has a calorific power of 4.4 Kw/kg (with 15% humidity, so after about
18 months of seasoning), that of pellets is 5.3 Kw/kg.
To guarantee good combustion, the pellets must be stored in a clean,
dry place. The pellets are usually supplied in 15 kg. sacks, therefore
storage is very handy.
Good quality pellets ensure good combustion, thus lowering the
emission of harmful agents into the atmosphere.
The poorer the quality of the fuel, the more
frequently will intervention be necessary for cleaning
the internal parts, such as the grate and the
combustion chamber.
The pellets must be produced from pure wood which has not been
treated chemically.
The standards DIN 51731 and ONORM M 7135 certify a high-quality
pellet with the following characteristics:
Calorific power: 5.3 kW/kg
Density: 700 kg/m
Moisture content: 8% max by weight
Ash percentage: 1% max by weight
Diameter: 6-6.5mm
Length: 30 mm max

MCZ emphatically recommends using certified fuel
in its stoves.
The use of fuel of inferior quality or not conforming
to the specification given above compromises the
running of your stove and can therefore lead to the
termination of the guarantee and of the
manufacturer's responsibility for the product.
MCZ pellet stoves operate exclusively with pellets
with a diameter of 6 mm (only for Italy) and 6-8mm
(European countries) with a length between 5mm
and 30mm.
2.2. PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
page
10
ENGLISH
The pellets are picked up from the hopper on board the stove and
transported by a feed screw. They are then introduced into the
combustion chamber and fall directly into the stainless steel grate.
The quantity of pellets introduced into the grate and the corresponding
air of combustion are predetermined, programmed and controlled by an
electronic board.
In the lighting phase, the electronic board activates the smoke
extraction fan and the ceramic sparkplug, which heats up and causes
the fuel to ignite at a temperature of about 200°C. After about 20
minutes, the lighting phase is complete, and the control unit puts the
stove into operating mode.
In this phase, on the basis of the instructions which we provide via the
infrared remote (5 power levels), the electronic board regulates the
exact relationship between quantity of fuel, combustion air and
convection air, and provides continuous monitoring of all the
components connected to it, indicating if necessary the presence of any
operating problems and stopping the process.

2.3. WORKING ENVIRONMENT
PELLET STOVES Chapter 2
page
12
For proper functioning and a good temperature distribution, the stove
should be positioned in a location where it is able to take in the air
necessary for combustion of the pellets (about 40 m
3
/h must be
available) ,as laid down in the standard governing the installation (UNI
- CIG 7129, 7131 and in accordance with national standards in effect).
3
The volume of the room must not be less than 30 m
.
The air must come in through permanent openings made in walls (in
proximity to the stove) which give onto the outside, with a minimum
cross-section area of 100 cm
2
.
These openings must be made in such a way that it is not possible for
them to be obstructed in any way.
Alternatively, the air may be drawn from rooms next door to the room
which needs ventilation, provided that these rooms have an air intake
from outdoors and are not used as bedrooms or bathrooms and
provided there is no fire risk such as there is for example in garages,
woodsheds, and storerooms.
It is not permissible to install the stove in bedrooms,
bathrooms or showers, and in a room where another
heating appliance is installed (fireplace, stove etc.)
which does not have its own independent air intake.
Locating the stove in a room with an explosive
atmosphere is prohibited.
The floor of the room where the stove is to be
installed must be strong enough to take its weight.
If the walls are not flammable, position the stove with a clearance to
the rear of at least 10 cm
In the case of walls made of flammable material, maintain a minimum
clearance to the rear of 20 cm, a clearance to the sides of 50 cm, and a
clearance to the front of 150 cm If the room contains objects which
are believed to be particularly delicate, such as hangings, sofas and
other furniture, their distance from the stove should be considerably
increased.
If there is wood flooring, place a floor protection
and adhere to national standards currently in effect.

2.4. PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT !
Installation and assembly of the stove must be
carried out by a qualified engineer.
The stove must be installed in a suitable position to allow the normal
operations of opening and ordinary maintenance.
The site must be:
• capable of providing the environmental conditions for operation
• provided with 230V 50 Hz (EN73-23) electricity supply
• capable of taking an adequate system for smoke discharge
• provided with external ventilation
• provided with an earth connection complaint with CE standards
The stove must be connected to a flue pipe or an internal or
external vertical conduit conforming to the current standards.
The stove must be positioned in such a way that the electrical
plug is accessible.
IMPORTANT !
The stove must be connected to a flue pipe or a
vertical conduit which can discharge the fumes at the
highest point of the building.
The fumes are however derived from the combustion
of wood products, and if they come into contact with
or close to walls, they can make dirty marks.
Also take care because the fumes are very hot but
almost invisible, and can cause burns on contact.
The holes for the passage of the smoke pipe and for
the intake of air from outside should be made before
positioning the stove unit.
page
13
ENGLISH
2.5. CONNECTION TO THE EXTERNAL AIR INTAKE
It is essential that at least as much air must be able to flow into the
room where the stove is installed as is required for proper combustion
in the appliance and for the ventilation of the room.
To do this, make a hole in the external wall near the stove with a
clearance section of at least 100 cm². (12 cm diameter hole or square
10x10cm), protected by a grille on the outside.
The air intake must:
• communicate directly with the room where the stove is installed
• be protected by a grille, metal mesh or suitable guard, as long as
this does not reduce the area below the minimum.
• be positioned in such a way as to be impossible to obstruct

t
Minimum 1,5
2m
INSTALLATION AND USE MANUAL
It is not compulsory to connect the air intake directly
with the stove (so that it draws air directly from
outside), but it is essential at all events to ensure an
airflow of 50 cubic metres per hour by the use of a
hole of the dimensions given.
See standard UNI 10683 REV.
2.6. CONNECTION OF THE SMOKE DISCHARGE PIPE
page
14
When making the hole for the passage of the smoke discharge pipe, it
is necessary to take into account the possible presence of flammable
materials. If the hole will be going through a wall made of wood or any
other material which is sensitive to heat, the INSTALLER MUST first
of all use the special wall union (diam.13cm minimum) and properly
insulate the pipe of the stove that passes through it, using adequate
insulation materials (thickness1.3—5 cm with minimum thermal
conductivity of 0.07 W/m°K).
The same is true if the stove pipe must run through vertical or
horizontal stretches passing in proximity (min.20cm) to the heatsensitive wall
As an alternative we recommend the use of insulated pipe, which can
also be used on the outside to avoid condensation.
The combustion chamber works in low pressure. The smoke duct for
the discharge of fumes will also be under low pressure when connected
to an efficient flue pipe as directed.
Pipes and unions with suitable gaskets must always
be used, to guarantee a hermetic seal.
All sections of the smoke duct must be accessible for
inspection and removable to enable periodic internal
cleaning. Tee connectors with inspection caps should be
used.
Position the stove in consideration of all the instructions and
considerations above.
IMPORTANT !
All 90 degree changes of direction in the flue pipe
must be fitted with suitable tee connectors to allow
the possibility of inspection (see the pellet stove
accessory list).
It is absolutely unacceptable to fit a grille on the end
of the discharge pipe, because it could lead to poor
running of the stove.

INSTALLATION AND USE MANUAL
2.7. CONNECTION TO THE FLUE PIPE
The flue pipe must have internal dimensions not greater than 20x20
cm or a diameter of 20 cm; in the case of larger dimensions or poor
operation of the flue pipe (e.g. cracks, poor insulation, etc.) it is
advisable to insert a stainless steel pipe of a suitable diameter all the
way up to the top. Fig.5
Check with suitable instruments that there is a minimum draught of 10
Pa.
At the bottom of the flue pipe, provide an inspection cap to allow
periodic checking and cleaning, which must be done annually.
Make a gas-tight connection to the flue pipe, using pipes and
connectors as recommended by us.

page

Of all the meteorological and geographical factors which affect the
operation of a flue pipe (rain, fog, snow, altitude a.s.l., exposure to
sun, exposure to cardinal points, etc.) the wind is undoubtedly the most
important one. In fact, apart form the thermal difference caused by
the temperature difference inside and outside the chimney, there is
another kind of pressure difference: the dynamic pressure caused by
the wind. Updrafts always increase the depression and hence draft.
Horizontal wind increases draught if the chimney has been properly
installed. A downdraft always decreases the depression, at times
inverting it.
Least favorable position
Most favorable position
WIND
Pressure area
Depression area
Besides the direction and force of the wind, the position of the flue and
the cowl with respect to the roof of the building and the surrounding
landscape is important.
The wind also indirectly affects the operation of the fireplace, creating
high and low pressure areas not only outside but also inside dwellings.
In rooms directly exposed to the wind (2) a high pressure area may be
created which may favour the draught of stoves and fireplaces, but
which may be contrasted by high external pressure if the chimney is
exposed to the wind (1). On the contrary, in rooms opposite to the
direction of the wind (3) there may be a dynamic low pressure area
which competes with the natural thermal depression in the fireplace,
which may however at times be compensated by placing the smoke
duct on the side opposite from the wind (4)
IMPORTANT !
The operation of the pellet stove is noticeabl
sensitive to the conformation and position of the flue
which is adopted.
Hazardous conditions can only be overcome by
suitable setting-up of the stove carried out by
qualified MCZ personnel.

3.2. PREPARATION AND PACKAGING
Saturn, Omega and Planet stoves are delivered in two packages:
The first contains the body (Fig. 1)
The second contains the ceramic cladding (Fig. 2)
Open the packaging, take off the bands, remove the stove unit from
the pallet and position it in the chosen location, taking care that its
position complies with the above instructions.
The main stove unit must always be moved in an upright position and a
trolley must always be used. Take particular care to see that the door
and its glass are protected from mechanical impact which could
damage them.
Moving the product must always be done with care.
If possible unpack the stove near the place where it will be installed.
The materials which make up the packaging are not toxic or harmful,
so no special procedures for disposal by required.
Their storage, disposal or possible recycling are therefore the
responsibility of the final user, in compliance with current legislation on
the subject.
Do not store the stove unit or its cladding without their packaging.
If the stove needs to be connected to a discharge pipe which goes
through the rear wall (to connect up with the flue), take the greatest
care to make sure that the joint is not stressed.
Adjust the 4 feet (J) the smoke discharge (S) and the pipe (H) are
coaxial.
If the smoke discharge of the pipe is forced or
improperly used to lift if or move, its operation will
be irreparably compromised.

3.3. INSTALLATION OF THE CERAMIC CLADDING
FOR OMEGA-PLANET
A LOOK AT THE STOVE
In the front part there are the hooks (A) which can be adjusted in
depth and width (there are two for each tile). They should already be
attached in the coorect position.
On the back are the hooks (B) which are tentatively attached to the
frame of the stove. Loosen the screw (Z) which holds them (without
removing it completely) so that they can be moved horizontally.
TILE INSTALLATION MUST ALWAYS START FROM
THE BOTTOM.
Take a tile from the package (with its pins already inserted), mov eto
the side of the stove, and insert the tile from the front so that the
hooks (A) touch the front pin.
Rest the tile against the frame of the stove, take the rear hook (B) and,
using the screw as a grip, make the hooked ends grasp the rear pin of
the tile.
Check that the position is correct and tighten the screw all the way
down.
Repeat the procedure for the other tiles.
Install the top last, resting it on the four rubber stoppers (K). Use finger
pressure to check that the top is in a stable position. If necessary, use
the rubber stopper and the washer below it for levelling.
3.4. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Connect the supply cable first at the rear of the stove and then to an
electrical outlet on the wall.
The main switch located on the rear of the stove should be switched on
only when you want to light the stove.
If you do not intend to use the stove, it is advisable
to keep it switched off.

4. OPERATION
4.1. WARNINGS PRIOR TO FIRST LIGHTING
Avoid touching the stove during initial lighting, since
the paint hardens during this phase. If you touch the
paint, the steel surface underneath may be
uncovered.
If necessary, touch up the paint with the spray paint of the appropriate
colour. (see "Accessories for pellet stoves")
It is good practice to provide plenty of ventilation of
the room during the initial lighting, as the stove will
give off a small amount of fumes and smell of paint.
Do not stay near the stove and as previously stated ventilate the room.
The smoke and the smell of paint will go away after the first hour of
operation. They are not harmful to your health.
The stove will be subject to expansion and contraction during the
stages of lighting and cooling down, and may therefore make slight
creaking noises.
This is absolutely normal, the structure being made of sheet steel, and
must not be considered a fault.
It is very important not to heat the stove up all at once, but to bring it
up to temperature gradually.
If in 'Manual' mode, use the lower heating levels (1st, 2nd, 3rd). On
subsequent lightings, you will be able to enjoy the full heating power
available (including 4th and 5th levels), but remember not to keep the
stove running on full power for more than 60-90 minutes.
In this way you will avoid damage to the ceramic panels, the welds and
the steel structure.
The first time the stove is lit, leave it in "Manual" mode and
use only moderate power settings, such as “on1”-”on2”-”on3”.

Do not demand full heating
performance straight away!

4.2. CHECK PRIOR TO FIRST LIGHTING
Check that all the safety conditions described above have been met.
Make sure you have read and completely understood the contents of
this instruction booklet.
Remove everything from the stove firebox and door which might burn
(instructions and various adhesive labels).
Check that the grate A is properly positioned and rests firmly on the
base.
After long periods of disuse, remove from the hopper (using
a vacuum cleaner with an extension) any remains of
pellets which have lain there for some time, since they may
have absorbed moisture, which changes their original
characteristics and makes them unsuitable for burning.
Check that the electrical connection is correct (230 V 50 Hz), and turn
on the main switch located on the rear panel of the stove.
Check that on the control panel the display is lit up with the alternating
message

4.3. LOADING PELLETS
fuel is loaded from the upper part of the stove by opening the door.
Pour the pellets into the hopper. When empty it will hold about a 15 kg
sack.
It is easier to perform this task if it is done in two steps:
• Pour half the contents into the hopper and wait for the fuel to
settle to the bottom.
• Then pour in the second half.
Never remove the protective grille from inside the
hopper. When loading pellets, avoid the bag coming
into contact with hot surfaces.

First, identify the type of connection to the flue pipe, considering the
following:
Operation Technical Service – Rights reserved MCZ S.p.A. – Reproduction prohibited
PelletBox®
PELLET STOVE Chapter 4
INSTALLATION AND USE MANUAL
ATTENTION !
Installation is to be made exclusively to a flue pipe,
and therefore the following evaluation criteria for
identifying the installation are to be considered valid
in compliance with current standards and are the
following:
If horizontal stretches have been realized that total more
than 1.5 and there is at least one 90° bend, the type of
setting to be considered for the choice of the recipe is
unquestionably HORIZONTAL.
If it is necessary to make 3 or more curves of 45° or 90° for
connection to the flue pipe, the setting to be considered in
choosing the recipe is certainly HORIZONTAL (0).
If instead the connection to the flue pipe includes almost
all vertical stretches, or if the stove is connected directly to
the flue pipe, the setting to be considered is VERTICAL (V).
If the smoke expulsion stretch is at least 1 m long and is
horizontal and without curves, it is in any case possible to
choose a VERTICAL (V) type of setting.
The Saturn and Omega-Planet type stoves have a
default HORIZONTAL setting (for Italy, France and
Spain) which allows them to work even in the most
demanding conditions, and VERTICAL for other
European countries.
Connections which are not to the flue pipe are
generally to be considered HORIZONTAL.
For complex, segmented installations we recommend
contacting specialized personnel or authorized MCZ
service centres.
MCZ discourages other kinds of installation (with
emission that is not into a flue pipe) and declines any
responsibility for malfunctions or abnormalities.

• Now let us identify the type of pellet we have available
Material requirements:
• Scales (measuring up to 4 kg) with graduations down to 10 g
• MCZ pellet measuring container supplied with stove (PelletBox®)
• A stick
• Pellets (fuel)
• Type of installation (horizontal or vertical smoke outlet) needs to
have been chosen.
Fill the measure generously with pellets without compacting it (i.e.
without banging the measure on the table or pressing the pellets down
with the hands) – Fig. 18.
Rest the batten (or ruler, blade or pencil) on the top edge of the container
and level the material by scraping off the excess. Fig. 19 and 20.
Weigh the total (measure + pellets) and note the weight.
Take the measure, empty it and turn it so as identify the graphic data
that is used for the choice of the recipe. Fig.21

INSTALLATION AND USE MANUAL
4.6.2. Procedure for recipe selection
In the left-hand column, marked 'Weight', identify which row contains
the weight which was noted earlier.
Following the row across to the right, you will see two numbers which,
depending on the type of installation of the stove (with smoke outlet
predominantly vertical or horizontal) will allow you to select the
optimum recipe for the type of pellet being used.
Example:
Let us suppose that it has been decided to install the stove in the
configuration with vertical smoke outlet, and that the weight of the
measure complete with pellets is 680 grams.
First of all, identify the stove model you are dealing with (for example
SATURN), then look at the corresponding table located on a side of the
measure and you will see that on the column "Weight" that 680g is
found in the line titled “from 660 to 700”.
Staying on the same line, you will now identify the code "L2" which
corresponds to the column which has as its symbol a stove with a
vertical flue pipe. The recipe to program the stove with is L2.

the stove will be released into the room.
4.8. VIEWING THE FLAME
In order to obtain good operation from the stove, you need to know
how to "read" the flame. The characteristics that the user needs to pay
attention to are the basically:
• The shape
• The colour
• The character
page
31
4.8.1. The shape
In normal combustion, the flame should be tapered and lively, as
wide as the grate that it comes out of and with the tip roughly vertical
or pushed towards the Alutec70 back of the firebox. You should have
the sensation that the flame is pulled upward so that it does not beat
Fig. 1
against the glass of the door.
On the other hand a flame which at its base is bigger than the grate
and has a feeble character, whose tip is not "guided", or which beats
against the glass
(Fig. 2)
may be a symptom of poor setting of the fuel
loading and/or smoke aspiration, or the smoke duct is obstructed or
there are high pressure areas that do not allow for regular smoke
outflow.
In this case you will ALWAYS have operating problems. Request
assistance from specialized personnel or ask MCZ technicians for
advice.
4.8.2. The colour
The colour is in some way connected to the shape of the flame. A
colour which varies between orange and yellow with a dark tip usually
goes along with an enlarged flame (as previously described) which
lacks oxygen or in any case indicates improper combustion. As the
colour changes to light yellow-white, the shape of the flame changes,
becoming thinner, showing the presence of a greater quantity of
oxygen.
ENGLISH

4.9. OPERATING MODES
The SATURN and OMEGA-PLANET stoves basically have three operating
modes.
4.9.1. Manual and automatic
The stove can operate in one of these two different operating modes.
MANUAL mode allows only adjustment of the flame from power 1 to
power 5, ignoring any ambient temperature measurement. This mode
is indicated by the symbol on the display.
Automatic mode, on the other hand, lets you set the desired
temperature in the room of installation. The stove will control its power
autonomously in order to reach the established temperature. With this
mode you can also use an external thermostat as explained in
paragraph 4.9.3.2 of this manual.
At each lighting, the stove sets to the operating mode
that it was in the last time it shut down.

4.9.2. Manual mode
In this mode you can only vary the thermal power provided by choosing
the flame power.

Changing from manual to automatic mode
To change from MANUAL to AUTOMATIC operating mode, just press
the button two times in sequence. The display will show the mode
change, the light will go off and you will need to set the desired
temperature.
As a default value, as soon as you change from manual to automatic
mode, the SET TEMP ROOM is 40°C.

4.9.3. Automatic mode
Whereas MANUALE mode lets you simply choose the thermal power
provided with no variation of operation over time, AUTOMATIC mode
lets you set a certain temperature to be reached in the room. In this
operating mode the stove will automatically vary the thermal power
provided so as to keep the temperature in the room constantly at the
set value.
Example:
If the room temperature detected by the local sensor located on the
stove is 15 C° and the temperature set on the thermostat is 20 C°, the
stove will go sequentially to the 5th power and when the requested
temperature is reached (20 C°) it will go to ECO mode (the display will
show the message “ECO”) thus switching down to the minimum power.
It should be remembered that the temperature assigned to the
thermostat is approximate and it is up the user to find the right value in
the room where the stove is installed (e.g. it may be necessary to set
the thermostat at 25C° in order to have a room temperature of 20C°).
This happens because the room thermostat is placed near the warm
body of the stove and therefore it detects the heat from the stove.
In this mode, lighting and shutdown are performed by the user by
holding down button
To set the temperature to be reached you can use the:

Changing from automatic to manual mode
To change back from MANUAL mode to AUTOMATIC mode, do the
following:
press and hold the button until the temperature is over 40°C. The
display will now show the message “MODE MANUAL” and the light
will come on.
4.9.4. Automatic mode with ECO-STOP
When this option is activated by the corresponding menu item, the
operation of the stove is modified in automatic mode. When the
temperature set by the user is reached (on either the internal or
external thermostat), instead of adjusting power, the stove goes off
and shows the message "ECO STOP”. It will light again when the room
required heating again (not before the period of time required for the
stove to cool off). This option is advisable only if the stove operates in
small, well-insulated rooms.
Example:
If the room temperature detected by the room probe located on the
stove is 15°C and the temperature set on the thermostat is 20°C, the
stove will ramp up to the 5th power and upon reaching the target
temperature of 20°C it will automatically shut off temporarily, displaying
the message “
Eco Stop
value set on the thermostat (e.g. 18°C) the stove will come back on
automatically, and it keeps running until 20°C is once again reached. If
the temperature read by the room probe goes above the value set on
the thermostat (e.g. 20-21°C) the stove stays off and the display shows
the message “
Eco Stop
It must be remembered however that the temperature keyed into the
thermostat is only indicative, and it is up to the user to find the correct
setting in the location where the stove is installed (for example, to
achieve 20°C in the room, it may be necessary to set the thermostat to
25°C). In this mode, the user can light the stove by setting the
thermostat temperature to a value which is higher than room
temperature or by pressing button
and subsequently, by pressing the same button, proceeding with
lighting.
However, i this last case, the stove will go back to MANUAL mode in
"ON 3" This means you will have to reset to AUTOMATIC mode if you
want the stove to be controlled by the thermostat.

IMPORTANT NOTE
When the stove is lit, it takes 20 minutes before sufficiently
hot air comes out of it and another 10 minutes before it is
running at full power. When setting the lighting time, take this
time lapse into account. In the same manner, shutdown of
the stove requires about thirty minutes, and during this time
the stove continues to give off accumulated heat. Keep this in
mind in order to obtain substantial fuel savings.

PELLET STOVE Chapter 4
INSTALLATION AND USE MANUAL
4.10. SAFETIES
The stove is fitted with the following safety devices:
• PRESSURE SWITCH
Monitors pressure in the smoke duct. It is designed to shut down
the pellet feed screw in the event of an obstructed flue or
significant back-pressure (from the wind).
• SMOKE TEMPERATURE SENSOR.
Monitors the temperature of the smoke, and gives permission for
start-up or shuts the stove down when the smoke temperature
falls below the preset value.
• FUEL HOPPER TEMPERATURE SENSOR.
If the temperature exceeds the preset safety level, it immediately
shuts down the running of the stove, and has to be reset manually
before the stove will restart. Take care when carrying out the
operation of resetting it, because if the stove locks out a second
time, it will be necessary to call the technical assistance centre.
• ELECTRICAL SAFETY
The stove is protected against violent surges of current by the
main fuse, which is located on the control panel at the rear of the
stove. Other fuses to protect the electronic boards (main board
and heat-exchanger board) are to be found on the boards
themselves.
• FAILURE OF THE SMOKE EXTRACTION FAN
If the fan stops, the electronic board shuts off the supply of pellets
in good time, and an alarm message is displayed.
• BREAKDOWN OF THE REDUCTION MOTOR
If the reduction motor stops, the stove continues to function until
it has cooled down to the minimum level.
• TEMPORARY POWER OUTAGE
After a brief absence of electrical current, the stove goes to
cooling mode and then comes back on automatically.
• FAILURE TO LIGHT
If no flame develops during the lighting phase, the stove goes into
alarm status.
TAMPERING WITH THE SAFETY DEVICES IS
PROHIBITED
It is only after eliminating the cause which gave rise to the
intervention of the safety system, that it is possible to relight
the stove and thus reset the automatic operation of the
sensor. To understand what sort of problem has arisen, refer
to paragraph 4.11.1 of this manual which explains what to do
based on the kind of alarm message the stove is showing.

4.10.3. Lockout of the stove
The following things can cause the stove to lock out:
• Overheating of the stove body
• High pressure in the outlet fumes (as read by the pressure
switch) and therefore possible obstruction of the smoke
discharge system or external back-pressure.
The lockout is indicated by the LED (6) lighting up, accompanied by an
audible "beep".
In this situation the shutdown cycle is automatically activated.
Once this process has started, any operation which is an attempt to
reset the system is useless.
The cause of the lockout is shown on the display (8).
WHAT TO DO:
When the stove is cold:
If the message "Alarm hot pel" appears, it will be necessary to
unscrew the cover of the thermostatic sensor fitted to the back of the
stove and press the red button to reset it. Refit the protective cover.
Fig.24-25
If the message "Alarm Press" appears, you need to check if ALL of
the smoke duct, including the combustion chamber, is clean and free of
obstructions. (it is advisable to have this done by a specialized MCZ
technician)
Only after the cause of the blockage has been permanently
eliminated can a fresh attempt to relight the stove be made.

4.11. SHUTTING DOWN THE STOVE
The stove can be shut down at any time and in whatever state it is in.
NEVER SHUT DOWN THE STOVE BY DISCONNECTING
THE ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY
Always leave it to complete the shutdown cycle,
otherwise damage could be caused to the structure,
and also problems with lighting in the future.
To shut down the stove, press button on the control panel
for a few seconds, or simultaneously press
remote control
The display (8) will show the message “OFF”. At this moment the
shutdown cycle begins, in which the pellet loading screw stops, while
the smoke extractor and the hot air exchanger remain on until the
temperature of the stove has fallen sufficiently.
The actual shutdown of the stove only occurs 20 - 30 minutes later,
and in any case not before the smoke temperature falls below 50 °C.
This occurs to allow the combustion fumes to be ducted into the flue
pipe by means of the extractor.
It also means that there is total recovery of the heat yielded by
combustion to the structure of the stove.

5. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
ATTENTION !
All operations of cleaning all parts must be carried out
with the stove completely cold and with the electric
plug pulled out.
The stove does not need much maintenance if used with
certified quality pellets. The necessity for maintenance
increases with use and depending on the performance
requested of it.
5.1. CLEANING TO BE DEALT WITH BY USER
page
42
ENGLISH
Before EACH LIGHTING
Use the special tool to clean the grate of ash and any incrustation
which could obstruct the passage of air. Fig.26
Remember that only a clean and tidy grate can
guarantee perfect operation of your pellet stove.
A simple visual check, made once a day, will indicate
the efficiency of the grate.
To clean the grate properly, pull it all the way out of its place and
thoroughly clean the holes and the grate on the bottom. If you use
good quality pellets, it usually only takes a brush to get the grate back
into perfect working order. If there are tough incrustations, use the
steel tool provided standard with the stove.
CHECK EVERY 2/3 DAYS
Clean and empty the ash drawers, watching out for hot ash. Fig.27
Only if the ash is completely cold is it possible to use a vacuum
cleaner to remove it. In this case use a vacuum cleaner suitable for
picking up particles of a certain size, such as a drum vacuum cleaner.
Experience, and the quality of the pellets used, will determine the
frequency of cleaning.
It is however advisable not to let it exceed 2 or 3 days.
When the job is completed, re-close the ash drawers, making sure that
they are properly shut.
CLEANING THE GLASS
For cleaning the ceramic glass, the use of a dry brush is recommended,
or if it is very dirty, the special spray detergent, applying a small
quantity then cleaning with a cloth. Fig.28
ATTENTION !
Do not spray the product on the painted parts or on
the door seals (ceramic fibre cord).

5.2. CLEANING TO BE DONE BY A SPECIALIZED
TECHNICIAN
CLEANING OF HEAT EXCHANGER
Open the upper plug (Fig. 29) and use a stiff rod to scrape the walls of
the firebox so that the ashes fall to the part below.
Still with the stove cold, open the door below the grate (Fig. 30) and
with a vacuum cleaner remove the ash and soot accumulated in the
heat exchanger.
Clean the smoke discharge system, especially in the area of the tee
connectors and of any horizontal stretches of pipe.
For information refer to a chimney sweep.
ATTENTION: For your safety, the frequency of
cleaning the smoke discharge system must be
determined on the basis of how the stove is used.
Check the seal of the ceramic fibre gaskets on the stove.
If necessary order new gaskets from your dealer as replacements.
At the end of the season it is necessary to clean the compartment
under the grate and the heat exchanger inside it.
This general cleaning should be carried out at the end of the season in
order to facilitate the general removal of all residues of combustion,
without waiting too long, because with time and humidity these
residues can become compacted.

4.6 Shutting the stove down (end of
season)
At the end of season, before placing the stove in storage, we
recommend completely removing pellets from the hopper with the use
of a vacuum cleaner with an extension.
In the period when the stove is out of use it must be
disconnected from the electricity mains. For greater safety,
especially if there are children around, we recommend
removing the supply cable from the rear of the stove. Fig. 31
If the stove is removed from its place of installation (during the warm
seasons) it MUST be placed in a location that is protected from
atmospheric agents.
If pressing the main switch (located on the back of the stove) does not
make the control panel display light up, it could mean that the service
fuse needs replacing.
ATTENTION !
Disconnect the electricity supply cable.
