2. Safety Precautions
Make sure you fully read and understand the instructions contained in this manual before using the Free Standing Pellet Stove as a biomass heating unit. The Free Standing Pellet Stove is not intended for use by children or people physically and/or mentally challenged, or that are inexperienced or unfamiliar with using the unit, except when under supervision or after receiving proper training. Do not touch the Free Standing Fire when barefoot or if any part of your body is wet or humid; Do not tamper with the safety devices or adjustment features without the SOLZAIMA SA manufacturer's authorization;
Do not cover or reduce the size of the vents at the installation area; The installation of the Free Standing Pellet Fire has clearance requirements for
proper combustion, so the air tight isolation of the room where the equipment is to be installed or the existence of air extraction sources in the room may prevent the unit from working properly;
The existence of vents is a requirement for proper combustion; Please keep the packing materials away from children; During normal operation, DO NOT open the door of the unit; Some parts may overheat during normal operation, so the direct contact with hot
parts, such as the door handle and glass, should be avoided; Check for the existence of any obstructions to the fume duct before turning on the unit after a long idle period; This Free Standing Pellet Fire unit is intended for residential use in areas with the adequate protections in place. Safety systems may be triggered, which will turning off the unit. If this occurs, contact the technical assistance. Under no circumstances should you attempt to tamper with the safety systems; The Free Standing Pellet Fire is a biomass heating unit equipped with an electric fume extractor. The occurrence of a power failure during its use may prevent the fume to be extracted, consequently causing the room to be filled with smoke. For this reason, a natural fume extraction system, like a chimney, is recommended; NEVER turn off an operating Free Standing Pellet Fire unit by disconnecting the electric plug. The fume extractor on the Free Standing Pellet Fire unit is a powered
7
feature, so disconnecting the power plug will prevent the extraction of combustion fumes; The unit must be disconnected from the mains power before any maintenance procedures can be performed. Please allow the unit to cool down completely before any maintenance operation (if operating before); Never touch the interior of the unit without disconnecting it from the power mains.
3. Advice on action in the event of a fire in a chimney
(including equipment)
Try to put out the fire, without risking your life.
If you cannot put out the fire within a minute, you should call the fire department.
Close the doors and windows or the room where the fire has flared.
Turn off the power and close the gas before leaving your home.
Once outside, you must wait for the firemen and be ready to give them the
following information: location of the fire, possible materials that are burning and what they can do to prevent fire progression.

WARNING!
Keep combustible and flammable materials at a safe distance.
5.2. Installing Ducts and Fume Extraction Systems:
The exhaust pipe must be designed for this specific purpose, in compliance with
local requirements and any applicable regulations.
Important notice! An inspection-T with an airtight lid must be attached to the
outlet of the unit’s exhaust pipe to allow for the regular inspection of the system or
discharge of heavy dust and condensates.
As illustrated in figure 6, the exhaustion path must have inspection slots along the
duct to facilitate the performance of periodic cleaning and maintenance operations.
Under normal operating conditions, the combustion gas flow should create a
draught of 12 Pa, measured one meter above the chimney neck.
The stove cannot share the chimney with other equipment. The pipes external to the operating area must have double stainless steel
insulation and an internal diameter of 80mm.
The fume exhaust pipe may generate condensation, so the installation of
appropriate systems for collecting condensates is recommended.
5.3. Installing Without a Chimney
Installation of the pellet stove when there is no chimney should occur, as in figure 6, bringing the exhaust pipe (with a minimum internal diameter of 80 mm) directly out and above the roof. Properly attached double-walled stainless steel insulated pipes must be used to avoid condensation. A T-tube must be installed at the base of the pipe to allow periodic inspections and annual maintenance, as illustrated in figure 6. figure illustrates the basic requirements for installing the flue onto the unit.

Failure to comply with the requirements would jeopardize the proper Working conditions of the stove and consequent loss of warranty. Comply with the instructions given in the diagrams.
Free Standing Fires operate with the combustion chamber in depression, so it is absolutely necessary to have a flue that adequately draws the combustion gases.
Fume duct material: The tubing must consist of 0.5mm thick rigid stainless steel, with fitting bindings to attach the different sections and accessories.
Insulation: Smoke ducts must be double wall insulated to ensure that the fumes do not cool during the course to the exterior, which would lead to improper drainage and condensation that could damage the appliance.
Output “T-tube”: Always attach to the output of the unit a "T-tube" with a damper.
Wind shield termination: A wind shield termination must be installed to avoid fume
back flow.
Chimney draught: The Figures below show three standard diagrams, specifying adequate lengths and diameters. Any other type of installation must guarantee a draught of 12 Pa (0.12 mbars) measured when hot and at the maximum power.
Ventilation: To get the optimum operation from the unit it is necessary that the installation location has an air inlet with a minimum section of 100 cm2, preferably near the back panel of the unit. The Free Standing Pellet Fire unit is
equipped with a round pipe (Ø 50 mm) that can be connected to the outside of the household. It is recommended that the connection pipe should measure up to
60cm long horizontally and run straight (without bends).
If the house is equipped with an air exhaust system (e.g. kitchen extractor fan), a top ventilation section must be installed, suitable to accommodate the different air exhaust systems existing in the household. The installation of the unit on locations near kitchen exhaust fans or fume extractors may prevent the unit from operating properly. It is recommended that the unit is disconnected when these extractors are working.
16
5.4. Installing With a Chimney
As shown in figure 8, the installation of the pellet stove brings the exhaust pipe (Ø80 mm) directly into the chimney. If the chimney is too large, it is recommended to pipe the smoke outlet with a flue having a minimum internal diameter of 80 mm. A T-tube must be attached to the base of the pipe to allow for periodic inspection and annual maintenance, as illustrated in figure 8.
T inspeção
Min 50
cm
Figure 8 – Side view of the installation without a chimney, showing the inspection point.
The Free Standing Pellet Fire should not be operated in adverse weather conditions, because these may seriously impact the draught (particularly with very strong winds).
If the unit has not been used for a long period of time, before lightening the fire, check the unit to make sure that the flue pipes are clean and unblocked.
17
6. Fuel
The only fuel that should be used for the operation of the pellet stove. No other fuel can be used. Use only pellets certified by EN 14961-2 grade A1 with a diameter of 6 mm and a length that can range from 10 to 30 mm. The pellets may have a maximum humidity of 8% their weight. To guarantee a good combustion, the pellets must maintain these characteristics so it is recommended that they should be stored in a dry place. The use of different pellets will reduce the efficiency of the unit and cause deficient combustion.
Only certified pellets should be used and a sample must be tested before buying in bulk.
The physico-chemical properties of pellets (namely gauge, density and chemical composition) may vary within certain tolerances and accordance with each manufacturer. Please note that this may cause changes to the feeding process and, consequently, the need for different doses (more or less pellet quantity). Consequently it may be necessary to adjust the pellets quantity according to its quality, even if the pellets are certified.
The unit allows for an adjustment of ± 25% the pellet dosage at the start-up phase and at each power level (please see section 8.3.5 of this manual).
WARNING!
This unit may NOT be used as an incinerator.

7. Using the Free Standing Pellet Fire
Recommendations
Before starting up the unit, please check the following:
- Ensure the unit is properly connected to the power mains using the 230V AC power cable.
Figure 9 – Electric power plug
- Check if the pellet reservoir is supplied with pellets. Inside the pellet reservoir is a safety grid to prevent users from reaching the worm screw.
The combustion chamber of the stove and the door are built in
steel sheet painted with high temperature paint, releasing fumes during the first ignition due to the cure of the paint. Avoid touching the equipment during the first burn so as not to leave permanent marks on the paint because it’s going through a more plastic phase during its curing process. The cure of the paint occurs at about 300 ° C for 30 minutes.
Please make sure the room where the unit is installed has adequate air circulation; otherwise, the unit will not work properly. For this reason, it is important to check if there are any other air-consuming heating appliances present in the room (e.g. gas units, braziers, extractors, etc.); these should not be used simultaneously with the unit.
This Free Standing Pellet Fire unit has a probe for measuring the room temperature. This probe is attached to the grid on the rear panel (Figure 10). For a good reading of the room temperature, avoid the contact between the end of the probe and the unit surfaces. You may also attach the probe to the wall beside the unit.

In the following paragraphs of this chapter it will be shown how to proceed with the assembly of the K400 Alpes and K300 Alpes equipment. The assembly process is very similar, differing only in the side frame assembly.
62
a) Before beginning with the assembliy of the casings you must remove the display
stand from the equipment by loosening the four screws shown in figure 48.
Very important: These screws will be reused a posteriori. Use extreme caution when removing the display, so as not to disconnect it from the cable connecting it to the machine's control unit.
Figure 48 – Removing the display on the machine.
b) With the display support removed, cover the holes that have been opened inside
the equipment using 2 of the screws removed in line a.
Very important: With this step we prevent the entry of unwanted air into the combustion of the equipment.
Figure 49 – Placement of the screws.

11. Maintenance
11.1. Daily Maintenance
The Free Standing Pellet Fire unit requires careful maintenance (see label with the maintenance instructions in chapter 14 or located on the pellets lid, Figure 72). The most important thing is to periodically remove the ashes from the pellet burning chamber. For your convenience, you may use a household vacuum cleaner. The cleaning operation must be performed after burning approximately 66lbs (30kg) of pellets. Note: However, before cleaning, the unit must be turned off and the unit should be allowed to cold off to prevent any accident.
76
Figure 72 – Maintenance instruction label
11.1.1. Cleaning the glass
The glass can only be cleaned when it is completely cold; Must be cleaned with a suitable product in accordance with the instructions for use and to prevent the product from reaching the sealing cord and painted metal parts - so as not to cause undesired oxidation. The rope gasket is fixed with glue so any contact with water or any other liquids must be avoided.

13. Installing and operating with the remote control -
“programmable thermostat” (optional)
The pellets stove are mass produced with a remote control (display). Alternatively, the unit can be operated using a generic remote control unit (programmable thermostat) or other type of remote control, as long as it is a no-voltage contact. To remotely connect the pellet burning unit to a programmable thermostat or a thermostat, you must use the provided interface (Figure 86-b), which is a board located on the right side of the unit (see Figure 85).
Figure 85- Interface board location
This board has two inputs: “remote” and “thermostat”. When connecting the programmable thermostat to the “remote” input, the user gives the start order (closed
contact NC) and the stop order (open contact NO).
If you connect it to the “thermostat” input, the unit's power will only vary between
minimum operating power (open contact NO) and maximum operating power (closed contact NC).
Note: the remote control is usually supplied with an instruction manual.

3.7 For the equipments that use pellets, in addition to the daily and weekly maintenance procedures described in the Instruction Manual, it is also mandatory to clean the interior of the unit, as well as the fume exhaust chimney. These operations should be performed at every 600-800 kg of used pellets for Free Standing Fire units (air and water models) and Compact Boilers, and at every 2000-3000 kg of used pellets for Automatic Boilers. If the used quantity of pellets is under these Figures, at least a thorough preventive maintenance operation must be performed annually.
3.8 The Buyer is responsible for the execution of the periodic maintenance operations,
as set forth in the Product’s instruction and handling manuals provided with the unit.
When requested, a proof of maintenance must be produced, which includes the technical report from the entity responsible for executing such procedures or,
97
alternatively, the filled in maintenance log provided in the corresponding section of the instruction manual.
3.9 To avoid damages to the equipment due to overpressure, safety measures must be taken during the installation of the unit, namely by installing pressure safety valves or thermal safety valves, as applicable, as well as an expansion vase suited to the size of the installation and operating properly. Please note: The above mentioned valves must have a pressure rating equal or less than the pressure supported by the equipment. No cutting valve must exist between the equipment and respective safety valve. A thorough preventive maintenance plan must be in place to ensure the proper operation of all the safety mechanisms. Regardless of the type of equipment, every safety valve must be directed to siphoned drainage to prevent damages to the house caused by
water discharges. The Product’s Warranty does not include damages caused by the lack
of a piping system for the water discharging from such valve.
3.10 To prevent damages to the equipment and attached pipes due to galvanic corrosion, we recommend using dielectric separators to connect the equipment to the metallic pipes, since the applied materials may have components that enhance this type of corrosion. The Product’s Warranty does not include damages caused by failure to use the dielectric separators mentioned above.
3.11 The water or thermal fluid used for the heating system (water models of Free Standing Fire units, Boilers, Central Heating Stoves, etc.) must comply with the requirements of the applicable law, in addition to ensuring the following physical and chemical properties: absence of solid suspended particles; low conductivity level; residual hardness within 5 to 7 French degrees; neutral pH, close to 7; low concentration of chloride and iron; and absence of air inlets by draught, or other inlets. In case the installation promotes automatic water make-up, this system must accommodate an upstream preventive treatment system consisting of filtration, decalcification and preventive dosage of polyphosphates (encrustation and corrosion), as well as a degassing step, if necessary. In the event any of these indicators show figures different from the recommended values, the Warranty shall be void.
3.12 Except in cases expressly provided by law, a servicing operation performed during
the Warranty period does not renew the Product’s Warranty period. The rights arising
from the Warranty are not transferable to the Buyer of the Product.
98
3.13 The equipment must be installed in locations with easy access that present no risk for the technicians. The Buyer is responsible to provide full access to the equipment for servicing, and any related costs shall be paid by the Buyer.
3.14 The Warranty is valid for the Products and equipment sold by SOLZAIMA S.A. only and exclusively within the geographic area and territory in the country where the Product was sold by SOLZAIMA S.A..
4. Circumstances not covered by the Warranty
The following items are excluded from the Warranty coverage. The Buyer is responsible for the total repair cost of:
4.1. Maintenance operations, Product adjustments, start-up procedures, cleaning, clearing errors or anomalies not related to faulty components and battery replacement;
4.2. Components in direct contact with fire, namely: vermiculite brackets, deflecting or protection plates, vermiculite, rope gaskets, burners, ash drawers, wood collectors, smoke dampers, ash grates that will wear in compliance with its handling conditions. Paint degradation, as well as corrosion caused by paint degradation, due to fuel overload, open drawer usage or excessive extraction from the installation chimney. For units operating on pellets, the lighting resistors are wearing parts, and for that reason their warranty is limited to 6 months. Glass break due to improper handling or any other reason not related to any fault in the product;
4.3. Components considered wearing parts, namely bearings and brass bearings;
4.4. Faulty components which are external to the Product and may affect its proper operation, as well as material damages or others (e.g. roof tiles, roofs, waterproofed coverings, piping, or personal damages) due to inadequate handling of materials during the installation, non-compliance with the product’s installation rules, non-compliance with the applicable laws or non-compliance with the rules of the trade, namely the use of piping suited for the usage temperature and the use of expansion vessels, non­return valves, safety valves, anti-condensation valves, etc.;
99
4.5. Products whose operation has been affected by failures or deficiencies of external components or by faulty sizing;
4.6. Defects caused by using as replacement parts accessories other than those specified by SOLZAIMA S.A.;
4.7. Defects caused by non-fulfilment of the instructions for the installation, use and
operation, or usage not complying with the Product’s intended use, or even unusual
weather conditions, irregular operating conditions, overload or inadequate maintenance or cleaning operations;
4.8. Products that have been modified or handled by people other than the manufacturer’s service team and without explicit authorisation from SOLZAIMA S.A.;
4.9. Failures caused by external factors (rodents, birds, spiders, etc.), atmospheric and/or geological phenomena (earthquakes, storms, frost, lightning, rain, etc.), humidity aggressive environments (e.g. Proximity to the sea or river) as well as failures resulting from excessive water pressure, inadequate electric connections, (voltage with variations 10% higher than the nominal value of 230V), inadequate circuit pressure or supply, acts of vandalism, urban riots and armed conflicts of any kind, and derivatives;
4.10. The failure to use the fuel recommended by the manufacturer is a condition for warranty exclusion;
Explanatory note: For equipments operating on pellets, the fuel in use must be certified in accordance with EN 14961-2 standard, grade A1. Also, before buying large amounts of fuel, please check the fuel to check it behaves as expected. For wood operating equipments, the wood humidity content must be less than 20 %.
4.11. Evidence of corrosion, caused by a faulty installation or the usage of fuel other than virgin wood (such as pallets or wood impregnated with paint, varnish, salt or
other components) contributing to the equipment’s rapid degradation, particularly the
combustion chamber;
