3. General
The Stove must only operate in rooms. As it is controlled by an electronic board, combustion is completely automatic and controlled and
the control unit regulates the ignition phase, 5 levels of power and the switching off phase, guaranteeing safe functioning.
Most of the ashes produced by the combustion of the pellets fall into the collection drawer.
However, always check the fire pot every day, as not all pellets have high standards of quality and could leave residue that is difficult to
remove.
The glass has a special air circulation for self-cleaning. However, a slight greyish film cannot be avoided after a few hours of
functioning.
As already mentioned earlier, pellets with a diameter of 6 mm must be used with the stove.

3.2 Compliance status
This manual describes the installation and operation of the Ravelli, Francesca 2015, Monica 2015, RV80 ceramica wood pellet heater.
This heaters meet the 2020 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s wood pellet emission limits for wood heaters sold after May 15
th
2015. Under specific test conditions this heater has been shown to deliver heat at rates ranging from 10733 to 26556 Btu/hr.
3.3 Spare parts
Use original spare parts only. Do not use any substitute material. Do not wait for the components to be worn before replacing them.
Replace a worn component before it is completely broken to prevent any accidents caused by the sudden breakage of components,
perform the periodic maintenance checks as described in the dedicated chapter. Removal of broken or damaged components shall be
only done by authorized technical service.
- This wood heater needs periodic inspection and repair for proper operation. It is against federal regulations to operate this
wood heater in a manner inconsistent with operating instructions in this manual. - This wood heater has a manufacturer-set
minimum low burn rate that must not be altered. It is against federal regulations to alter this setting or otherwise operate this wood heater
in a manner inconsistent with operating instructions in this manual.
-This heater is designed to burn wood pellet only.DO NOT BURN ANY OTHER FUEL. Burning other materials may result in release of
toxic fumes or render the heater ineffective and cause smoke.
- Do not overfire. Attempts to achieve heat output rates that exceed heater design specifications can result in permanent damage to the
heater.
- Flues gases contain carbon monoxide (CO), it is reccomended to install smoke monitors and CO monitors for areas that are expected
to generated CO. Inspect the the chimney to minimize visible emissions.
- Soot and Flyash: Formation and Need for Removal—The products of combustion will contain small particles of flyash. The flyash will
collect in the exhaust venting system and restrict the flow of the flue gases. Incomplete combustion, such as occurs during startup,
shutdown, or incorrect operation of the room heater will lead to some soot formation which will collect in the exhaust venting system.
The exhaust venting system should be inspected at least once every year to determine if cleaning is necessary.
