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.

The pellets used must comply with the characteristics described by the following standards:

Keep clean

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.

THE USE OF POOR QUALITY PELLETS OR ANY OTHER MATERIAL WILL COMPROMISE STOVE FUNCTIONS, VOIDING

THE WARRANTY AND RELEASING THE MANUFACTURER OF LIABILITY.

PELLET HOPPER - PRESSURISED CLOSURE.

Both during the functioning and when the stove is not in use, all the machine doors (pellet hopper, fire door, ash drawer) must always remain closed. The machine doors can only be opened for the time required to load the pellet and for maintenance.

" CLOSE HOPPER - STOVE DOOR "

This indication means that you have 60 seconds to close the hatch/door and the pellet lid.

Once 60 seconds have passed, during ignition the stove will go into "DEPR ALARM" mode, while during normal operation the stove will go into "COOLING STAND-BY" mode before automatically restarting when the conditions are satisfied (cold stove, etc.).

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.
