DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY

The undersigned EDILKAMIN S.p.A. with registered head offi ce at Via Vincenzo Monti 47 - 20123 Milan - Italy - tax code and VAT no. 00192220192 Declares under its own responsibility that: The pellet-burning stove below conforms with Directive 89/106/EEC (Construction Products) The PELLET STOVE bearing the trademark ITALIANA CAMINI, specifi cally named MICRON Year of manufacture: Ref. Data nameplate Declaration of performance (DoP - EK 069): Ref. data tag plate Compliance with the 89/106/EEC Directive is determined by the compliance with the European standard: EN 14785:2006 It is also declared that: the MICRON wood pellet burning stove complies with the requirements of the European directives: 2006/95/EEC - Low voltage directive 2004/108/EEC - Electromagnetic compatibility directive EDILKAMIN S.p.A. declines all responsibility for the malfunctioning of a product in the case of replacement, assembly and/or modifi cations not carried out EDILKAMIN personnel and without the latter's authorisation.- 20 - ENGLISH OPERATING PRINCIPLE The MICRON stove is designed to produce hot air through the electronically-controlled combustion of wood pellet fuel. Its operation is described below (the letters refer to Figure 1). The fuel (pellets) is taken from the hopper (A) and, using a screw (B) operated by a gear motor (C), is sent to the crucible (D). The pellets are lit by hot air produced by an electrical element (E) sucked into the crucible through a smoke extractor fan (F). The smoke produced by combustion is extracted from the combustion chamber by the same fan (F) and expelled from the vent (G) which can be connected to the back, the right side or the top of the stove (see page 25). The combustion chamber, lined with Vermiculite, is closed at the front by a ceramic glass door (use the special "cold-hand" handle to open the door). The quantity of fuel, the extraction of the smoke and the input of air for combustion are regulated by a motherboard equipped with software, to obtain a high combustion effi ciency and low emissions. The stove has a serial socket for optional wire connection (code 640560) to remote controlled ignition devices (chrono-thermo- stats etc.). The ceramic outer covering is available in three colour vari- ants: cream, burgundy and grey.

SAFETY INFORMATION Hot air is introduced into the installation environment through a grille located in the upper part of the front; the same environ- ment is also heated by radiation from the mouth of the combus- tion chamber.

• The only risks deriving from the use of the stove are linked to not respecting the installation rules, direct contact with live electrical parts (internal parts), contact with fl ames or hot parts (glass, pipes, hot air outlet) or to the introduction of foreign substances.

• If any component does not function correctly, the stove has safety devices which guarantee that it will switch off; in such cases, allow the stove to switch itself off without intervening.

• To function correctly, the stove must be installed according to the indications given on this sheet and the door must not be opened during operation: combustion is managed automatic- ally, no action is necessary.

• For fuel, use only wood pellets with a diameter of 6 mm.

• Under no circumstances may foreign substances be placed in the combustion chamber or the pellet hopper.

• The fl ue (the duct connecting the smoke output vent of the stove to the chimney) must not be cleaned with fl ammable products.

• The parts of the combustion chamber and the pellet hopper must be vacuumed only when COLD.

• The glass can be cleaned when it is COLD with a special product applied with a cloth.

• Do not clean when hot.

• Make sure the stove is installed and switched on for the fi rst time by an Edilkamin authorised TAC (Technical Assistance Centre) according to the indications given on this sheet; other- wise the guarantee will not be valid.

• During operation of the stove, the discharge pipes become very hot (do not touch them without the special glove).

• Do not place non-heat-resistant objects next to the stove.

• NEVER use fl ammable liquids to light the stove or to revive hot embers.

• Do not block ventilation into the room where the stove is installed, and do not block the air intake of the stove itself.

• Do not allow the stove to get wet, and do not place wet hands anywhere near the electrical parts.

• Do not insert reductions into the smoke discharge pipes.

• The stove must be installed in a room with an adequate fi re-prevention system, and it must also be provided with all systems (input and discharge) required by the stove for safe operation.

• If necessary, clean the smoke passage by extracting the Ver- miculite combustion chamber after removing the brackets.

• If the stove does not light, do NOT repeat ignition before having emptied the crucible.

The serial socket is inside the stove, on the left side. BACKUP BATTERY The motherboard has a backup battery (type CR 2032, 3 volts). Failure of the battery is due to normal wear and tear (and is not a manufacturing defect). For more information, contact the TAC (Technical Assistance Centre) which carried out the fi rst ignition. SAFETY DEVICES

• THERMOCOUPLE: Positioned on the smoke discharge, it measures the temperature. According to the set parameters, it controls ignition, operation and switching off.

• DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE SWITCH: Positioned in the smoke-aspiration area, it is triggered in the case of a depression in the circuit (e.g. obstructed fl ue).

• SAFETY THERMOSTAT: This intervenes if the temperature inside the stove is too high. It blocks pellet loading causing the stove to go out.- 23 - ENGLISH FEATURES THERMO-TECHNICAL FEATURES Nominal power 7kW Nominal power effi ciency 91 % CO emission (13% O

) nominal power 0,013 % Mass of smoke nominal power 4,8 r/s Reduced power 2,1 kW Reduced power effi ciency 93 % CO emission (13% O

• The volume which can be heated is calculated assuming the use of pellets with p.c.i. of at least 4300 Kcal/kg, insulation of the house pursuant to Italian law 10/91 and successive amendments and a heat requirement of 33 Kcal/m³ hour.

• It is important to also take into consideration the position of the stove in the environment to be heated. N.B.

1) take into consideration that external appliances can cause disturbances.

2) warning: activity on live components, maintenance and/or checks must be carried out by qualifi ed personnel.

(Before carrying out any maintenance, disconnect the appliance from the mains electricity) The above data are indicative. EDILKAMIN s.p.a. reserves the right to modify products without notice to improve their performance. ELECTRICAL FEATURES Power supply 230Vac +/- 10% 50 Hz Average power consumption

Power consumption during ignition 400 W Motherboard protection * Fuse F4 AL, 250 Vac- 24 - ENGLISH INSTALLATION A: fl ue in insulated steelB: minimum height 1.5 m and, in any case, above the level of roof gutteringC-E: vent for the intake of air from the external environment (minimum internal diameter 80 cm²) D: steel fl ue inserted into an existing masonry chimney CHIMNEY POT The basic features are: - internal section at the base equal to that of the fl ue - output section no less than double that of the fl ue - position in full wind, above the roof ridge and beyond the refl ux area. TYPICAL CASES Fig. 1 Fig. 2 SMOKE DISCHARGE The discharge system must only serve the stove (the smoke must not be discharged into a fl ue also used for other stoves/fi replaces etc.). The smoke is discharged through the 8 cm-diameter vent posi- tioned on the back, right/left side or top of the stove. The smoke discharge must be connected to the external en- vironment by steel pipes with EN 1856 certifi cation. The pipe must be hermetically sealed. The pipes must be sealed, and if necessary insulated, with materials resistant to high temperatures (silicon or mastics for high temperatures). The only horizontal stretch allowed can be 2 m long. There must be no more than two bends, with a maximum angle of 90° (in relation to the vertical piece). A vertical stretch and a wind-proof terminal (reference UNI 10683) are required (unless the fl ue is inserted into a chimney). If the fl ue runs outside the building, adequate insulation is ne- cessary. If the fl ue is inserted into a chimney, the chimney must be suitable for solid fuel, and if it is larger than ø 150 mm, pipes with a suitable diameter and in suitable material (e.g. steel ø 80 mm) must be fi tted inside the chimney. It must be possible to inspect all sections of the smoke duct. Chimneys and fl ues to which solid fuel burning appliances are connected must be cleaned at least once a year (check the relative standards in your country). If they are not checked and cleaned regularly, there is an in- creased risk of the chimney catching fi re. In such a case, do not attempt to put out the fi re with water; empty the pellet hopper. Contact specialist personnel before re-igniting the stove. If information is not expressly indicated, please refer to the local standards for your country. In Italy, please refer to the standard UNI 10683, and to any regional or local pub- lic-health regulations. In the case of installation in a multiple-tenancy building, contact the building manager before installation.

CHECK OF COMPATIBILITY WITH OTHER DEVICES

The stove must NOT be installed in the same room as extractor fans, type B heating appliances, or other appliances which can compromise correct operation. See standard UNI 10683. CHECK THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION (the socket must be in an easily accessible position) The stove is provided with a wire for the electricity supply to be connected to a 230V 50 Hz socket, preferably with a magnetothermal switch. If the electricity socket is not easily accessible, place a switch upstream of the stove (to be provided by the customer). Voltage variations of more than 10% can damage the stove. The electricity system must comply with standards; in particu- lar, check the effi ciency of the earth circuit. The diameter of the power supply line must be adequate for the power required by the stove. An ineffi cient earth circuit can cause malfunctioning of the stove, for which Edilkamin will accept no responsibility.

FIRE PREVENTION SAFETY DISTANCE

If the wall is fl ammable (wood), adequate insulation in non-fl ammable material must be fi tted. The fl ue pipe must be adequately insulated, since it reaches high temperatures. Every object on either side of the stove in fl ammable and/or heat sensitive material must be kept at least 20 cm from the stove, or it must be suitably insulated with non-fl ammable insulating material; under no circumstances must any object be placed less than 80 cm from the front of the stove, since it will be directly subjected to the radiation of heat from the combus- tion chamber.

An air intake vent connected with the external environment must be installed behind the stove; it must have an inner dia- meter of at least 80 cm² to guarantee suffi cient air intake for combustion. The air intake vent must be connected to the inlet provided on the back of the stove (see page 26).- 25 - ENGLISH INSTALLATION SMOKE OUTPUT MICRON is designed for the connection of the smoke output on the back, right side and top of the stove. The stove is delivered ready for the output of the fl ue from the back (fi g. 1-2).

REAR SMOKE OUTPUT CONNECTION

Connect the rear smoke-output pipe (not supplied) to the elbow joint (C - fi g. 4) with a band (not supplied). TO ALLOW THE CONNECTION OF THE SMOKE OUTPUT FROM THE RIGHT SIDE AND TOP IT IS NECESSARY TO REMOVE THE RIGHT METAL SIDE AND THE REAR PANEL. Proceed as follows: - Take off the right metal side by removing the 2 screws (A - fi g. 3). - Take off the rear panel by removing the 6 screws (B - fi g. 3). SMOKE OUTPUT CONNECTION ON THE RIGHT SIDE Remove the elbow joint (C - fi g. 4). Connect the smoke output pipe (not supplied) to the smoke extractor unit vent (fi g. 5) with the band provided. Remove the pre-cut diaphragm (E - fi g. 6) from the metal side (A), previously removed, to allow the smoke output pipe (not provided) to pass through. From the diaphragm (fi g. 6) remove portion F (fi g. 6). Replace the metal side A (fi g. 7), the rear panel B (fi g. 7) and the diaphragm (E) without portion F (fi g. 8). Complete the operation by applying the closure rosette provided G (fi g. 8) using the screws provided. N.B. The rosette and the metal side must be fi tted after the fl ue has been defi nitively fi xed.

TOP SMOKE OUTPUT CONNECTION

Loosen the locking band of the elbow joint (C - fi g. 9-10) and rotate upwards 90°. Remove the metal cover from the top (H - fi g. 11) fi xed with a screw. Remove the pre-cut diaphragm (I - fi g. 12) to allow the smoke output pipe (not provided) to pass through. Replace the cover (H) and insert the smoke output pipe (not supplied) from above, fi tting it on the elbow joint (C - fi g. 13-

14) with the band provided.

An air intake vent connected with the external environment must be installed behind the stove; it must have an inner diameter of at least 80 cm² to guarantee suffi cient air intake for combustion. There is a hole closed by a cover on the rear of the stove for the connection of the duct (S - fi g. 18). Remove the cover (S) and, acting from the left portion of the front of the stove (still with the casing panel removed), fi t a corrug- ated aluminium tube (not supplied) on the external air intake duct (T - fi g. 19-20). Turn the tube on itself and make it pass through the hole (U - fi g. 21) in the back to reach the outside. If the stove is mounted on the wall, it is necessary to prepare an air intake connected with the outside. In this case it is necessary to protect the air intake with a mesh that provides a free section of at least 12 cm². The tube must be less than 1 metre in length and have no bends. It should also end with a 90° section pointing downwards or wind protection. fi g. 19 fi g. 18 fi g. 17

First Ignition/Testing by the Edilkamin authorised Tech- nical Assistance Centre (TAC) Start-up must be carried out as prescribed by standard UNI

The said standard indicates the checks to be carried out during installation, aimed at ensuring the correct operation of the system. Edilkamin technical assistance (TAC) will also calibrate the stove on the basis of the type of pellets and the installation conditions. Start-up by the TAC is necessary for the validity of the guaran- tee. The fi rst times the stove is lit, there may be a slight smell of paint; this will soon disappear. Before lighting the stove, check: ==> Correct installation. ==> The electricity supply. ==> The closure of the door, which must be air-tight ==> The cleaning of the crucible. ==> The indication of stand-by mode on the display (date, power or temperature fl ashing on and off).

LOADING THE PELLETS INTO THE HOPPER

Remove the metallic cover in order to fi ll the hopper

• (fi g. 1). ATTENTION: If loading the stove during operation, and therefore while hot, use the special glove provided. fi g. 1

NOTES on fuel MICRON is designed and programmed to burn wood pellets with a diameter of about 6 mm. Pellets are fuel in the form of small cylindrical elements pro- duced by highly compressed sawdust without the addition of glues or other foreign substances. It is sold in 15 kg bags. ONLY pellets must be burnt in the stove, otherwise it will NOT function correctly. If any other material is used (including wood), which can be detected by laboratory analysis, the guarantee shall not be valid. EDILKAMIN has designed, tested and programmed its own products in order to guarantee best performance with pellets of the following features: diameter: 6 millimetres maximum length: 40 mm maximum humidity: 8 % heat yield: at least 4300 kcal/kg The use of pellets with other features requires specifi c cal- ibration of the stove, similar to that carried out by the TAC (Technical Assistance Centre) when the stove is lit for the fi rst time. The use of unsuitable pellets can cause: decreased effi ciency; functioning anomalies; close-down due to clogging; soiled glass; non-combustion; ... A simple analysis of the pellets can be carried out by visual examination: Good: smooth, regular length, little dust. Poor: with longitudinal and transversal cracks, dusty, variable length, presence of foreign bodies.- 29 - ENGLISH

Before carrying out any maintenance, disconnect the appliance from the mains electricity. Regular maintenance is the basis of good functioning of the stove. IF YOU DO NOT PROVIDE FOR THE NECESSARY MAINTENANCE, the stove will not function correctly. In the case of problems due to lack of maintenance, the guarantee will not be valid. FOR EASE OF ACCESS TO ALL ELECTRO-MECHANICAL COMPONENTS, JUST REMOVE THE LEFT FRONT CERAMIC COVERING BY PULLING UPWARDS, AFTER REMOVING THE TOP (see page 27). DAILY MAINTENANCE Operations to be carried out with the stove off, cold, and disconnected from the electricity supply

• To be carried out with the aid of a vacuum cleaner (see options on page 35).

• The whole procedure takes only a few minutes.

• Extract and empty the ash tray (2 - fi g. B) into a non-fl ammable container (it could contain ash which is still hot and/or hot em- bers).

• Vacuum the inside of the combustion chamber, the combustion surface, and the area around the crucible where ash falls.

• Remove the crucible (1 - fi g. A) and remove encrustations with the spatula provided; remove any debris clogging the holes.

• Vacuum the crucible chamber, clean the edges where the crucible comes into contact with its seat.

• If necessary, clean the glass (when cold) Never vacuum hot ash; it will damage the vacuum cleaner and is a domestic fi re risk. WEEKLY MAINTENANCE

• Remove the ceiling (3 - fi g. C) and tip any residue into the ash tray (2 - fi g. B).

• Empty the pellet hopper and vacuum the bottom.

• Clean the combustion chamber and the compartment below (4 - fi g. D).

• Clean the inspection opening on the smoke elbow joint (5 - Fig. E). Fig. E

SEASONAL MAINTENANCE (by the TAC - technical assistance centre) It consists of:

• General cleaning, inside and out

• Accurate cleaning of the exchange pipes inside the hot air output grill located in the upper part of the front of the stove

• Thorough cleaning and removing encrustation of the crucible and the relative chamber

• Cleaning fans/extractors, mechanical check on play and fi xings

• Cleaning of the fl ue (replacement of the gasket on the fl ue pipe)

• Cleaning of the smoke duct

• Cleaning of the smoke extractor fan, cleaning of the pressure switch, check on the thermocouple.

• Cleaning, inspection and removal of encrustations on the ignition resistance chamber, replacement of the same if necessary

• Cleaning/check of the synoptic panel

• Visual inspection of the electric wires, of the connections and of the power-supply wire

• Cleaning of the pellet hopper and check on play of the screw-gear motor group

• Replacement of the door gasket

• Test of functioning, screw loading, ignition, operation for 10 minutes and switching off. If the stove is used very frequently, it is advisable to clean the fl ue every 3 months. ATTENTION!! After normal cleaning, INCORRECT attachment of the upper part of the crucible (A) (fi g. 1) with the lower part of the crucible (B) (fi g. 1) can compromise stove functioning. Therefore, before igniting the stove, make sure that the two parts of the crucible are correctly attached as indicated in (fi g.

2) without any ash or unburnt fuel on the contact edges.

We remind you that using the stove without cleaning the melting pot, may cause a sudden ignition gas inside the combus- tion chamber with the consequent breaking of the glass- 34 - ENGLISH

ADVICE IN CASE OF PROBLEMS

In the case of problems, the stove will switch off automatically, and an indication of the cause will appear on the display (see the various messages below). Never pull out the plug when the stove is switching off automatically because of a failure. In the case of automatic switch-off, the stove must be allowed to complete the entire procedure (15 minutes with an acoustic signal), after which it can be restarted by pressing the key . However, do not restart the stove until you have found out the cause of the error and until you have CLEANED/EMP- TIED the crucible. SIGNALS OF POSSIBLE CAUSES OF AN ERROR, TIPS AND SOLUTIONS: AL1 black out (this is not a stove error) (this takes place if there is no electricity for more than 5 seconds) The stove has a ‘black out’ function. It the electricity supply is off for less than 5 seconds, the stove will switch on again, return- ing to the function in progress before it switched off. If the electricity supply is off for more than 5 seconds, the stove will go into 'black out' alarm, with consequent cooling phase. The possible causes are listed below: AL2 broken smoke temp. probe (when the stove can no longer read the smoke temperature)

• Detached thermocouple

• Smoke temperature out of range AL3 hot smoke (when the temperature of the smoke exceeds the safety threshold)

• Incorrect installation

• Too many pellets loaded, check pellet feed regulation (TAC) NOTE: the "hot smoke" message appears when the fi rst alarm threshold of 250° is exceeded, triggering automatic stove regu- lation; only when the temperature of 270° is reached does the stove go into alarm mode and switches itself off. AL4 fan fault (when the motor of the smoke extractor fan breaks down)

• Smoke extraction motor blocked

• Smoke motor thermostat triggered AL5 ignition failure (when the smoke temperature does not reach the minimum threshold during the ignition phase)

• Probable spark plug failure

• Dirty crucible or too many pellets

• The pellets are fi nished

• Check the pellet safety thermostat (automatic reset)

• Blocked chimney AL6 no pellets (when the pellets are fi nished)

• There are no more pellets in the hopper

• A gear motor failure

• The screw/pellet duct is blocked
