Pellets and loading
Pellets are made by subjecting wood shavings i.e. the rejects of pure unpainted wood from sawmills, carpentry products and products from
other activities connected to wood working and transformation, to very high pressures.
This type of fuel is fully ecological as no glues are used for its compaction. In fact, pellet compactness is guaranteed over time by a natural
substance found in wood: lignite.
In addition to being an ecological fuel, making best use of wood residue, pellets also have a series of technical advantages.
While wood has a calorific value of 4.4 kWh/kg (with 15% moisture, therefore after approximately 18 months of curing), that of pellets is 5
kWh/kg.
Pellet density is about 650 kg/m
3
and water content is equal to 8% of its weight. For this reason pellets do not need to be cured to obtain a
sufficient heat yield.

Keep clean
Do not place the bag Directly on the stove to loaD the tank.
always use a scoop to loaD the tank. Do not rub or place weights on the tank seal. keep the tank cover
seal supporting surface clean at all times. check the conDitions of the seal frequently. if DamageD,
contact your local authoriseD technician.
The pellets used must comply with the characteristics described by the
following standards:
en PlUs class a1, iso 17225-2 class a1
and
Uni en 303-5
with the following characteristics: water content ≤ 12%,
ash content ≤ 0.5% and lower calorific value >17 MJ/kg (in the case of
boilers).
The manufacturer always recommended using pellets with a diameter
of 6 mm with its products.
Pellet stoRage
In order to ensure problem-free combustion pellets must be stored in
a dry place.
Open the tank lid and load the pellets using a scoop.
