operation.

It is prohibited to insert other types of fuels in the tank other than wood pellets.

Some tips to avoid corrosion phenomena:

• carry out routine cleaning operations to avoid the build-up of ash deposits;
• feed the appliance only with fuel having the characteristics described in the section "Fuel characteristics";
• Do not use solvents, acids, aggressive detergents or products to directly clean the glass or other components of the product;
• avoid leaving the product in unfavourable ambient conditions (humidity, airborne salinity, storms, etc.);
• if the appliance is not used for long periods (e.g. during the summer), disconnect the combustion air inlet pipe and place dessicant bags in the combustion chamber to absorb the humidity in the air, making sure to remove them when the product is re-ignited.

3 FUEL CHARACTERISTICS

3.1 Fuel characteristics

The pellet (Fig. 2) is a compound made from various types of wood pressed together with mechanical procedures in compliance with environment protection regulations, and it is the only fuel required for this type of appliance.

The efficiency and thermal potential of the appliance may vary according to the type and quality of the pellets used.

We recommend the use of class A1 pellets (ISO 17225-2 standard, ENplus A1, DIN Plus or NC 444 category "High Performance NF Pellets Biofuel Quality").

Use pellets with standard length between 3 and 40mm

The appliance is equipped with a pellet container tank of the capacity indicated in the characteristic data table in the attached Product Booklet.

The loading compartment is positioned at the top, it must always be open for loading of the pellets and must remain closed while the appliance is operating.

It is prohibited to use the appliance as an incinerator to burn rubbish.

3.2 Pellet storage

Pellets must be kept in a dry place, not too cold and the bags must be kept sealed.

It is advisable to keep a number of bags of pellets in the room where the appliance is being used or in an adjacent room provided it is at the correct temperature and humidity and at a safe distance

(at least one meter) away from heat sources.

Wet and/or cold pellets (5^) reduce the thermal potential of the fuel resulting in the need for more cleaning maintenance of the burn pot (unburned material) and of the fire box.

Pay particular attention to the storage and handling of pellet bags. Their crushing and the formation of sawdust must be avoided.

If sawdust is placed in the appliance tank it could cause the pellet loading system to block.

The use of poor quality pellets can compromise the normal functioning of the appliance and lead to losing the guarantee.

• Cut the cable ties that group the cables and prevent the machine from being pulled out.

• Lift the machine and remove it from the guides

• Remove the pallet fixing screws from the base and remove the pallet

5.1 Transportation

Make sure that the lifting carriage has a payload higher than the weight of the appliance to be lifted. The full responsibility of the lifting of loads lies with the person handling the lifting equipment.

Ensure wood or timber floors are properly protected in order to prevent the weight of the appliance from damaging them during movement.

During lifting, avoid jerking or abrupt movements.

6 PREPARATION OF THE INSTALLATION SITE

6.1 General considerations

The following paragraphs contain some guidelines to be followed to obtain the maximum efficiency of the product purchased and to ensure safe operation. The following indications are however subject to compliance with any possible national, regional and municipal laws and regulations in force in the country where the appliance is installed.

In Italy, installation must be performed by qualified personnel in compliance with the EN 10683 standard.

6.2 Safety Precautions

The operations for assembly and disassembly of the appliance are reserved for specialist technicians only.

It is recommended to be sure of their qualifications and their actual capacity.

For Italy, these technicians must be in possession of the letter "C" qualification issued by the chamber of commerce based on the Ministerial Decree. 37/08.

6.3 Place of installation

For the minimum distances that must be respected when positioning the appliance with respect to flammable materials and objects, refer to the instructions in Fig. 15.

Model X1	X2 Y1	Y2 Z
A70 AC70	800	100	200	200	600	mm

Floors made of flammable material such as wood, parquet, linoleum, laminate or floors covered with carpets must be protected by a fireproof base under the appliance that also protects the front during cleaning from any falling burning residues.

The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any variations in the characteristics of the material constituting the floor under the protection.

Set up an accessible technical space for any maintenance work.

Remember to respect the minimum distance from flammable materials (X), shown on the identification plate of the pipes used to make the chimney (Fig. 16).

$$ \mathbf {P i} = \text {F l a m m a b l e w a l l} $$

$$ \mathbf {P p} = \text {F l o o r} $$

Set up the electricity supply line to arrive near the appliance for the connection of the power cable.

6.4 Combustion air

The appliance, during its operation, requires combustion air.

The inflow of combustion air can be obtained through an air intake outside the room itself (PA = Air Intake).

Extraction of combustion air in the room

Create the air intake on the wall (Fig. 17 - PA = Air Intake), and leave the appliance to withdraw the room air, making sure to connect the section of corrugated pipe on the air inlet pipe, if supplied, fixing it with the tie and folding it slightly downwards to prevent any resonance effects.

It is possible to use a rear combustion air pipe to the machine with a pipe diameter of 80mm max length 4 m. equivalent for external direct connection.

If the rear wall of the appliance is an external wall, make a hole for the intake of combustion air at a height of about 20-30 cm from the ground, respecting the dimension indications given on the technical data sheet at the end of the booklet.

A non-closable permanent aeration grid must be placed externally; in areas that are particularly windy and exposed to weathering, provide rain and wind protection.

Ensure that the air intake is positioned so that it won't be accidentally obstructed.

If it is impossible to create an external air intake in the wall behind the appliance (non-perimeter wall), a hole must be made in an external wall of the room where the appliance is positioned.

If it is not possible to make an external air intake in the room, it is possible to make the external hole in an adjacent room as long as it permanently connects via passage grille (Fig. 19 - C = Container, G = Grille, S = Damper).

It is forbidden to take combustion air from garages, warehouses of combustible material or places with activities at risk of fire.

If there are other heating appliances in the room, the combustion air inlets must guarantee the necessary volume of air for the correct operation of all devices.

If one or more extraction fans (extractor hoods) are present and operating in the installation room, combustion malfunctions may occur due to lack of combustion air.

6.5 Flue gas fitting

The appliance works with the combustion chamber at negative pressure. It is therefore essential to make sure that the flue gas evacuation is airtight (this is the responsibility of the installer).

The appliance must be connected to its own flue gas duct, not shared, and which is suitable for ensuring adequate dispersion of the combustion products into the atmosphere, in accordance with the regulations in force in the country of installation.

The components making up the flue gas ducting system must be declared suitable for the specific operating conditions and provided with CE marking.

It is mandatory to create a first vertical section measuring at least 1.5 meters to guarantee correct expulsion of the flue gases.

It is advisable to make a maximum of 3 direction changes, in addition to that resulting from the rear connection of the appliance to the chimney, using 45 - 90^ bends or Tee fittings (Fig. 20).

Always use a Tee fitting with inspection cap at each horizontal and vertical change of the flue gas route (Fig. 20).

The horizontal sections must have a maximum length of 2-3 m with an upward slope of 3 - 5% (Fig. 20).

Anchor the pipes with suitable collars to the wall. The flue gas fitting MUST NOT BE connected:

• to a chimney used by other generators (boilers, stoves, fireplaces, etc. ...);
  to air extraction systems (hoods, vents etc. ... even if "ducted".

It is forbidden to install shut-off and draught valves.

Fig. 20

With a flue gas discharge path of more than 5 meters and in conditions of poor draft (presence of many curves, inadequate exhaust terminal, etc.) the expulsion of fumes may not be the best. In these cases it will be necessary to change the operating parameters (flue gas expulsion and pellet loading) to adapt the appliance to the real system characteristics of the flue. In this regard, please contact the technical assistance service.

6.6 Roof exhaust with traditional fireplace

The flue for flue gas discharge must be carried out by qualified personnel in compliance with the UNI 10683- EN 1856-1-2- EN 1857- EN 1443- EN 13384-1-3- EN 12391-1 standards both regarding the dimensions and the materials used in its construction.

The flue gas discharge through a traditional chimney (Fig. 21) can be carried out as long as the following rules are complied with:

• check the state of maintenance of the chimney; in the case of an old chimney, it is advisable to restore it by introducing a suitably insulated steel pipe (rockwool, vermiculite).
• the flue gas can be discharged directly into the chimney only if the latter has a maximum section of 15 × 15 cm or a diameter of 15 cm and is equipped with an inspection door.

The flue gas exhaust must be on the roof.

A) Wind-proof cowl
B) B) Maximum section of 15 × 15 cm or diameter 15 cm and maximum height of 4 - 5 meters
C) Seal
D) Inspect

If the chimney has a larger section, it must be "intubated" with a suitably insulated steel pipe (with diameter suitable for the route) (Fig. 22).

1. Make sure that the connection to the brickwork in chimney is properly sealed.

Avoid contact with combustible materials (e.g. wooden beams) and in any case insulate them with fireproof material.

In case of pipes that pass through wooden roofs or walls, it is recommended to use special certified ducting kits commonly available on the market.

1) Vermiculite and/or rockwool.
2) Steel piping
3) Closing panel
