image, taking care to place the ignition materials
on top of the wood logs in the hearth.
After that, as soon as Unica detects the increase
in temperature, it will activate the smoke engine
for smart combustion and room heating with the
same logic of cold ignition by pellets.
9.9 OPERATION WITHOUT ELECTRICITY
Unica has been designed to work with wood even
without electricity. If a blackout occurred while
Unica was already working in wood mode, the
combustion will not change. On the other hand,
if we decide to disconnect the stove from the
power supply and use it as a normal WOOD stove,
we will have to act differently.
IN CASE OF ELECTRICAL FAILURE
In the event of a sudden loss of electrical power
(which powers the motors, fans, safety devices,
combustion air management system, etc.), the
safety valve, held closed by an electromagnet,
will open to facilitate the expulsion of smoke from
the hearth.
In the figure below you can see the rod raised,
showing the opening of the safety hatch (BYPASS).
SAFETY HATCH: LIFTED SHAFT
- BYPASS
HANDLE FOR OPENING/
CLOSING THE WOOD
COMBUSTION AIR
The opening of the BYPASS system is also controlled
by a micro-switch which, when the power returns,
warns via the remote control of the need to lower
the lever, bringing it back to its initial position (thus
closing the by-pass).
Without electricity, Unica requires the combustion
air valve to be opened manually, using the handle
located next to the BYPASS rod, TO ADJUST AIR
SUPPLY FOR COMBUSTION.
The handle must be inserted into the hole at the
base of the right side, as shown in the following
figures, and must be used when loading new
logs to stoke the flame as soon as possible; after
this operation, the handle can be closed safely,
step by step, as the combustion air management
system was already in the ideal position for burning
the wood logs.

The manual valve for the wood combustion air
is also equipped with a micro switch to notify via
remote control it is open when the power returns.
Both the BYPASS valve and the MANUAL WOOD
PRIMARY AIR valve must be
CLOSED
in order to
restore normal operation with electricity.
ALWAYS
close the PRIMARY AIR valve first, then close the
safety hatch by means of the rod
. If both valves
are open, the smoke motor WILL NOT START for
safety reasons, i.e., because the smoke circuit is
open, like the duct fan.
IN CASE OF LACK OF ELECTRICITY
To use Unica as a normal wood-burning stove
without electricity, load and light the wood as
explained in paragraph 9.8 and use the handle
for the primary combustion air of the wood as
illustrated in the previous paragraph.
Unica will work like a normal wood-burning stove
