•
Check (or have checked) regularly that the flue is clean.
•
Under no circumstances use fuels other than pellets.
•
Remove any deposits of unused pellets left by failed ignition before restarting the stove.
Direct contact with the stove while operating may cause skin burns.
During operation some parts of the stove (door,handle, controls, ceramic parts) can reach high temperatures. Take great care and all
the necessary precautions, especially in the presence of children, the elderly or disabled and pets.
Keepanyinflammableobject wellawayfrom thestovewhileitisin use(MINIMUM 32”-80cm) from thefrontpanel.
While in use the door must remain closed and the glass must be present and intact.
The removal of the protective grille inside the pellet hopper is strictly prohibited.
If replenishing with pellets while the stove is lit, ensure that the bag does not come into contact with any hot surfaces.
Operate this unit only with the fuel hopper lid closed. Failure to do so may result in emission of products of combustion from the
hopper under certain conditions.Maintain hopper seal ingood condition.
LOADINGTHEPELLETS
•
When lighting your stove for the first time, or any time you have run
out of Pellets, you will need to fill the hopper. Pellets are fed from the
hoppertotheburnpotbyanauger.Ahightorquemotorthatiscapable

the pellet stoves a protective grille inside the hopper is placed.
Don’t remove the protective grill inside the pellet hopper.
•
Toloadthepelletsintothehopperitisadvisabletotearofftheedgeof
the sack and empty the sack directly into the hopper.This makes filling
easier and avoids pouring pellets on top of the stove.
Do not allow sawdust to accumulate on the bottom of the
hopper.
Do not leave leftover pellets on top of the stove – they could
catch fire!
Do not overfill hopper.
Maintain hopper seal in good condition.
DO NOT RELOAD WITH PELLETS WHEN THE APPLIANCE IS LIT if
the red reload indicator inside the pellet hopper is visible (see
figure to the side).
To load with pellets if the red reload indicator is visible, proceed as
follows:
- shut down the appliance;
- loadthe hopper as described above.
The auger must have the time to fill; during this stage the pellets are
not distributed inside the firebox and it is more than likely that the first
attempt to ignite the appliance fails; empty and clean the great. Lighting
again the stove.
Ifan alarmistriggered,deactivate the appliance by pressingthe ON/OFF
keyforafewmoments,removethefueltobefoundinthegrateandset
