3 FUEL SPECIFICATIONS

3.1 FUEL SPECIFICATIONS

Pellets (Fig. 3.1) are made from various types of mechanically compacted wood in compliance with environmental protection standards. Pellets are the only fuel that can be used on this type of stove.

The efficiency and heat output of the stove may vary in relation to the type and quality of pellets used.

The features of the pellets must comply with the requirements of EN 14961-2 (A1 or A2 category).

The stove has a pellet hopper with the capacity specified in the technical data table in the Product Booklet enclosed.

The pellet hopper is located at the top of the stove. It must always be able to be opened to load the pellets, and must remain closed during operation.

Due to temperature control requirements, operation on traditional wood is not possible.
The stove must not be used as a rubbish incinerator.

3.2 STORING THE PELLETS

The pellets must be kept in a place that's dry and not too cold.

It's suggested to keep some sacks of pellets in the same room where the stove is installed or an adjacent room, as long as the temperature and humidity are acceptable.

Damp and/or cold pellets (5^) reduce the fuel heat value and mean the burn pot (unburned material) and firebox will need to be cleaned more frequently.

Pay special care when storing and handling the sacks of pellets. Make sure these are not crushed to prevent the pellets from becoming sawdust.

Sawdust introduced into the hopper may block the pellet feed system.

Use of poor quality pellets may affect normal pellet stove operation and render the warranty void.

fig. 3.1

4 HANDLING AND TRANSPORT

F) makesurethattheareabeingusedforassembly anddismantlingisclearofanyobstacles.

5.3 STOVE INSTALLATION SITE

The enclosed "Product technical details" show the minimum clearances from combustible materials and objects expressed in centimetres that must be observed when positioning the stove; for non-flammable walls/objects, these clearances can be halved.

Protect all structures that may catch fire if exposed to excessive heat.

Floors made from flammable materials such as: wood, parquet, linoleum, laminates or carpets must be protected by a suitably-sized fireproof base underneath stove. Such base may be made from steel, slate, glass or stone and must cover the floor in the part underneath the stove and the flue attachment, and must extend at least 50~cm at the front.

The manufacturer declines all liability for any alterations to the characteristics of the material making up the floor underneath the protective base.

Any elements made from wood (e.g. beams) or other combustible material located near the stove should be protected with fireproof material.

Flammable walls or elements must be kept at least 150~cm away from the stove.

Leave enough clearance for maintenance work.

Make sure the minimum distance from flammable materials (x) is observed, as shown on the pipes used to make up the flue or chimney (Fig. 5.2).

Pi = Parete inflammabile

Pp = Protezione pavimento

fig. 5.2

5.4 COMBUSTION AIR

During operation the stove takes in a certain amount of air from the room where it's installed (except for the "Ermetica" series products that can take in air directly from the outside); this air must be replaced through an opening to the outside from the room (Fig. 5.3 - PA = Fresh air vent).

Make the air intake hole on the wall, and let the stove be free to withdraw air in the environment, taking care, to connect on the air inlet tube the portion of corrugated pipe, if provided, by fixing it with the clamp and bending it slightly downward.

If the wall behind of the stove is an outside wall, make an opening for drawing in combustion air around 20 - 30cm above the floor, observing the dimensions shown on the product data sheet at the end of this booklet.

A permanent non-closable vent cover must be placed on the outside of the opening; in especially windy areas or places exposed to bad weather, install rain and wind protection elements.

Make sure that the air vent is located in such a way that it can't be accidentally obstructed.

If it's not possible to make a fresh air opening in the wall behind the stove (not a perimeter wall), an opening must be made on the wall in the room where the stove is installed that faces the outside.

If no fresh air opening can be made in the room, it can be made in an adjacent room as long as the two rooms are connected by a ventilation grill (Fig. 5.4 - C = Shutter box, G = Grill, S = Shutters)

Standard UNI 10683 prohibits combustion air being drawn in from garages, combustible material stores or places where there is a fire risk.

If there are other heating appliances in the same room, the fresh air vents must guarantee the required volume of air for correct operation of all the appliances.

If one or more exhaust fans (range hoods) are installed and operating in the room where the stove is located, combustion problems may occur due to a lack of combustion air.

fig. 5.3

fig. 5.4

"SEATED" SERIES STOVES

The "Ermetica" series pellet stoves allow the following possible installation alternatives:

• ducted combustion air using a coaxial pipe to discharge the flue gas and take in fresh air; consequently no fresh air vent is needed in the room (Fig. 5.5 A, B=Air intake C, D=Flue gas outlet);
• connect the stove combustion air intake to the fresh air opening using a special pipe (Fig. 5.6).

The stove operates with negative pressure in the combustion chamber, and consequently the flue gas discharge must be airtight.

The stove must be connected to its own separate flue gas exhaust system capable of ensuring adequate atmospheric dispersion of the combustion byproducts.

The components making up the flue gas exhaust system must be suitable for the specific operating conditions and bear the CE mark.

! An initial vertical section measuring a minimum of 1.5 metres is required to ensure correct flue gas exhaust.

There should be at least three changes in direction along the flue, in addition to the flue connection at the rear of the stove, using 45 or 90^ angle connectors or T' connectors (Fig. 5.7).

Use always a T' connector with inspection cap on all horizontal or vertical changes in flue direction.

is necessary to connect a pipe at the bottom of the "T" junction in order to discharge the smoke condensate that could form in the flue gas exhaust (Fig. 5.7a).

The maximum length of horizontal sections is 2-3 m with an upwards slope of 3 - 5% (Fig. 5.7).

Anchor the flues to the wall using special collars.

The flue gas exhaust attachment MUST NOT BE connected to:

• a chimney used by other heat generators (boilers, stoves, fireplaces, etc....);
• air exhaust systems (range hoods, vents, etc....) even if these are ducted.

Shut-off or draught valves must not be used.

Combustion byproducts must be discharged through the roof.

"SEATED" SERIES STOVES

For "Ermetica" series pellet stoves a special coaxial pipe can be used to both discharge the flue gas and duct the combustion air from the outside (Fig. 5.5 A, B=Air intake C, D=Flue gas outlet).

fig. 5.5 fig. 5.6
fig. 5.7

Fig. 5.7a

5.5.1 Discharge through roof using a traditional chimney

The chimney used to discharge the flue gas must be made in accordance with standards UNI 10683 - EN 1856-1-2 - EN 1857 - EN 1443 - EN 13384- 1-3 - EN 12391-1 both as regards the dimensions and the construction materials used.

DAMAGED chimneys made from unsuitable material (asbestos cement, galvanised steel, etc.... with a rough and porous inside surface) are prohibited by law and affect proper stove operation.

The flue gas can be discharged through a traditional chimney (Fig. 5.8) as long as you make sure on the state of maintenance of the chimney.

! For larger chimneys, suitably insulated steel pipes need to be inserted on the inside (diameter according to the length) (Fig. 5.9).

Makes sure connections to brick chimneys are suitably sealed.

If the flues run through wooden roofs or walls, special certified pass-through kits need to be used, available on the market.

5.6 LEVELING THE STOVE

The stove must be levelled by adjusting the feet (where featured), then checked using a spirit level (Fig. 5.10).

A B = Spirit level

5.7 SYSTEM CONNECTIONS

5.7.1 Electrical connection

The stove is connected to the electrical system simply using the plug supplied.

The electrical connection (plug) must be easily accessible when the stove is installed.

If the power cord is damaged it must be replaced by the technical service or a qualified technician, to prevent any kind of risk.

5.7.1.1 Earth

The system must be earthed and fitted with a residual current circuit-breaker in accordance with legislation in force (Fig. 5.11).

The flue must have its own earth connection.

5.8 IMPROVING THE COMBUSTION

A good combustion depends on several factors (type of installation, operation and maintenance conditions, type of pellet etc..)

During the first burning, it is possible to optimize the combustion of the stove.

If at the end of combustion in the brazier are many waste, it is advisable to change the combustion configurations (increasing the value) to find the most satisfactory solution.

Refer to section "improving the combustion" of the user manual.
