Dear Customer,
Installation must be performed by skilled personnel, who shall be entirely responsible for nal installation and
in case of installation by unqualied person and in case of non-compliance with the general warnings and
installation instructions.
After removing the packaging, check integrity and completeness of the contents. In the event of non compliance,
contact the dealer the heat stove was purchased from.
Prior to installation it is recommended to perform accurate washing of all the system's piping in order to remove any residues which might aect proper operation of the appliance. In the event of not using the heat stove for a long time it is recommended to perform the following operations:
• disconnect the power supply plug;
• close water cocks, both of the heating and domestic hot water systems
• if freezing is likely to occur empty the heating and DHW systems.
Extraordinary maintenance of the heat stove must be performed at least once a year. This maintenance must be scheduled in time with the Technical Support Service, and is borne by the Customer.
For safety it should be remembered that:
• Use of the heat stove by children or unassisted disabled persons is recommended against;
• do not touch the heat stove if you are barefoot and/or with wet or moist parts of the body;
• it is forbidden to modify the safety or adjustment devices without the manufacturer's authorisation or instructions;
• do not pull, detach, twist the electrical wires coming out of the heat stove, even if it is disconnected from the power mains;
• avoid blocking or reducing the combustion air duct, which is essential for proper combustion;
• do not leave packaging items within the reach of children or unassisted disabled persons.
ATTENTION!
During the rst couple of heat stove operations, the vapours emitted by the paint may cause unpleasant smells due to hardening, it is therefore advisable to aerate the room well and avoid remaining long by the heat stove.
In the event of a re, disconnect electric power, use an approved re extinguisher and, if needed, call the Fire Brigade. Then contact the Authorised Service Centre.
In congratulating you for purchasing one of our heat stoves, we would like to remind you that pellet heat stoves are the most innovative heating solution, the result of the most advanced technology with an extremely high level of workmanship quality. Their neat and elegant design ts well into any room and makes it cosy thanks to the unique enveloping warmth that re alone is able to give. This manual will help you to use your heat stove correctly. We therefore recommend to read it carefully before
use.
The heat stoves work exclusively with wood pellet of maximum 6mm diameter, and are tted with an exchanger
that produces approximately 90% yield.
The heat stoves are tted with a timer-thermostat that assures up to 4 weekly on and o-cycles, thus making
control independent. The heat stoves convey heat to the radiators of your system with a thermal power that is
regulated according to the rooms to be heated: just manually set the water temperature of the heating system, recommended to be at 60°- 75.° The heat stoves are also tted with tangential fan for spreading hot air, which allows forced convection heating
of the room where it is installed. Thanks to an optional kit, they also produce continuous domestic hot water in a healthy and safe manner throu-
gh automatic operation, with no need for storage tank.
The heat stoves have been equipped with sophisticated automatisms and control and safety systems that
assure eective and convenient operation. Installation and maintenance shall be eected by qualied personnel, in compliance with applicable laws in force and according to the Manufacturer's instructions. This operating and maintenance manual is an integral part of the product. Before proceeding with installation, use and maintenance of the product, it is required to carefully read the
instructions in this manual.
This heat stove shall be intended solely for the use for which it was expressly designed. Therefore, any liability for any harm to people, animals or damage to property for product misuse shall be borne by the user.

Ignition
Press button for a few seconds until the heat
stove starts.
The upper display will show the word “Fan” and the lower display the word “Acc”. During
this stage the appliance will perform a diagnosis (about 20 seconds) on ue gas
extraction.
The next stage “LOAD WOOD”, indicates the pellets are lled and the igniter will light up to start the ame.
When the ue gas temperature is at 50° C (about 10 minutes) the heat stove will enable ignition:
the top display will then read “FirE” while the bottom display will read “ON”.
After this stage which lasts 5 minutes approximately
the top display will simultaneously show the heating power (e.g. “po 6“) and ambient temperature (e.g. 25°), while the lower display will show
the system's ow water
temperature.
If the ame is not correctly ignited after 10 minutes, the heat stove locks down: the upper display will
read “ALAR” and the lower display will ash the words “NO ACC”: wait 10 minutes for the cooling cycle to be completed, open the door, empty the
burn pot and proceed with a new ignition.
PLEASE NOTE:
In the event there should be repeated failed
ignitions, but the pellets are fed properly, there might be an issue connected to breakage of the electrical igniter. In this case, while waiting for a
technician to service it, the heat stove may be lit
manually using solid fuel cubes (re starters).
Manual ignition procedure:
• open the door;
• take a cube of solid fuel and place it on the burn
pot together with a handful of pellets;
• strike a match and light the solid fuel inside the burn pot;
• wait a few minutes, close the door;
• perform the normal ignition procedure.
ATTENTION!
Do not use any ammable liquids for lighting. During the recharge stage do not bring the pellet bag in contact with the hot heat stove.
The heating power is adju-
sted with buttons
and
. It is recommended
to set it at Po 9 for the rst
hours of stove operation.
To adjust water tempera­ture press button
once only. The upper display will show the words
"Set H2o"
ashing while the water
temperature is shown on the lower display.

The pellets will immediately stop dropping while the heat stove will continue operating until the
accumulated heat is completely exhausted, and
go out after 30 minutes at the most.
PLEASE NOTE:
The heat stove is equipped
with an automatism to clean the
burn pot after a certain length
of time: when this happens the
ame is automatically lowered
and the display will read “PUL
FIRE”; after a few minutes the
heat stove will resume normal
operation.
Air temperature range: 7°C-40°C
ATTENTION!
To extinguish the heat stove, do not unplug it but let the automatic extinction cycle end: prolonged ue gas exhaust fan operation is normal and may indicate that the stove is still hot. In case of low temperatures, moreover, ue gas exhaust fan and circulating pump may still start up for a few minutes with stove o, in order to prevent possible formation of ice in the system's pipes. In the event of a power outage, when the power supply is restored the heating controller will expel the residual ue gas, increasing the extractor's speed and displaying the words “Cool FIRE”. Upon completing the cooling cycle, the stove will restart automatically and go back to the operating mode prior to the power outage.

Electrical device faults
Electrical safety
Should a sudden electrical surge occur (lightning) the heat stove is protected by a 2.5 A 250V fuse
located at the rear of the heat stove, next to the power supply cable. Extract the drawer that contains it and replace it.
ATTENTION!
do not try igniting the heat stove before the required time, as it might lock down. In the event of lock turn o the switch at the rear of the heat stove for 1 minute, turn it on again and wait 10 minutes before igniting again.
ATTENTION!
the power outlet where the heat stove is plugged in must be tted with "earthing connection according to regulations in force". The Manufacturer disclaims any liability for damage to property and harm to people caused by installation negligence.
Failed ignition
If no ame develops during the ignition stage or the ue gas temperature does not reach an ade­quate level in the time interval set for ignition, the
stove in set to extinction and the display reads
“Alar No Acc”. Press the "On/O" key to reset the alarm. Wait for the cooling cycle to be complete, clean the burn pot and proceed with a new ignition.
Extinction during working phase
This occurs when the stove unexpectedly goes out during normal operation (for instance be-
cause pellets in the tank have run out or due to a
pellet lling gearmotor fault). The stove continues operating until it processes
any pellets in the burn pot, after which the display
reads “Alar No Fire” and the stove enters extinc-
tion mode.
Press the "On/O" -----button to reset the alarm. Wait for the cooling cycle to be complete, clean the burn pot and proceed with a new ignition.
These alarms remind you that before performing ignition, one must ensure the burn pot is com-
pletely free, clean and correctly placed.
Power outage
Should there be a power outage for a period longer than one minute, the heat stove might emit a minimal amount of smoke in the house: this
does not pose any risk for safety.
When the power supply is restored, the heat stove will display the words “Cool Fire”. After completing the cooling cycle, the stove will automatically restart and go into the work mode prior to the power outage.
12
System pressure safety
The system pressure is controlled electronically
and must be kept between 0.5 and 2.3 bar. If this is not so the heat stove goes into alarm mode and the display will read “Alar Press”. Check system pressure, holding button for a few seconds: the upper display will read the  gu-
re in bar.
In any case the safety valve prevents exceeding
2.5 bar, by automatically venting the excess water
outside.

Flue gas exhaust safety
A mechanical vacuum pump ensures there is
the right vacuum for proper  ue gas exhaust. Otherwise, in the event of  ue obstruction, the heat stove goes into extinction mode and the display reads “Alar Dep Fail”.
Pellet temperature safety
In the extremely rare cases where an excessive temperature occurs inside the tank, the manual
reset pellet safety thermostat triggers an alarm
(Alar Sic Fail) and stops heat stove operation. The customer must reset the above mentioned device, which is placed behind the heat stove
( g.5)
Water temperature safety
In the event the water temperature should exceed
a 100 °C threshold, the water safety thermostat is
tripped and sets the stove into extinction mode.
The display will read “Alar Sic Fail”. After waiting a minimum time required for water cooling, the
user needs to reset said thermostat, located at
the rear of the stove ( g.5).

Scraper
PERIODICALLY: perform complete cleaning of the exchanger every other day. When stove is cold, operate the exchange duct scraper by pulling and pushing the lever located between the front grates, through which the heating air comes out (g. 7-8).
ATTENTION!
Do not clean the glass during heat stove operation.
Fit the inspection pan back on and screw the two
knobs back in, ensuring it is hermetically closed. Close the door again.
Glass cleaning: the ceramic glass of the central
door is cleaned with a damp cloth and a little ash,
rub the glass until completely clean. Suitable detergents may also be used.
ATTENTION: in the event of lapsed or inadequate cleaning the heat stove might have functionality issues such as:
• poor combustion;
• glass blackening;
• burn pot clogging with accumulated ash
and pellets;
• ash deposit and excessive scaling on the
exchanger leading to poor performance.
