1.3 General safety precautions
•Use the stove only as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the
manufacturer may cause fires or accidents to people.
•Make sure that the electrical power available corresponds to the value indicated on the data plate
(230V~/50Hz).
•Make sure children are not left unattended and do not use the appliance as a toy.
•Persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge
can use the stove if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the stove in a
safe way and understand the hazards involved.
•Turn off the stove, disconnect it from the power supply and wait until it has cooled down
completely before performing any maintenance operations. Pull the plug, not the cable.
•Never block the combustion air inlets and flue outlets.
•Since the stove is fitted with electrical components, do not touch it with wet hands.
•Do not use the appliance in case of damaged cables or plugs. Should the power supply cable
be damaged, it can be replaced only by the manufacturer or by its technical assistance
service or by a similarly qualified person.
•Do not place any object on the cable and do not bend it.
•Avoid using extension cables as their temperature may increase excessively posing fire hazards.
Never use one single extension cable to power several appliances.
•ATTENTION! DO NOT TOUCH the FIRE DOOR, the GLASS, the HANDLE or the FLUE OUTLET
DURING FUNCTIONING if not wearing adequate protective devices since they become
extremely hot.
•Keep inflammable materials, such as furniture, cushions, pillows, blankets, paper, clothing, curtains,
etc., at least 80 cm away from the stove front and 30 cm from the stove sides and back.
•Do not immerse the cable, plug or any other appliance component in water or other liquids.
•Do not use the stove in dusty environments or wherever inflammable vapours are generated (e.g. in
a workshop or garage).
•The stove is fitted with components that generate arcs and sparks. Do not install the stove in areas
posing a significant fire or explosion hazard due to a high chemical substance concentration or to a
high humidity level.
•Do not use the appliance close to bathtubs, showers, basins, sinks or swimming pools.
•Do not install the appliance underneath an air vent.
•Do not install the stove outdoors.
•Do not repair, disassemble or modify the appliance. The appliance is not fitted with components that
can be repaired by users.
•ATTENTION! This stove operates exclusively on pellets; DO NOT USE OTHER FUELS: any
other material that may be burnt will result in failure and malfunction of the appliance.
•Keep the pellets in a fresh, dry place: storing pellets in a place that is damp or excessively
cold may reduce the stove’s potential heat output. Be careful when storing and handling
pellet bags to prevent pellet crushing and consequent sawdust production.
•The use of different types of pellets may result in a slight, sometimes even undetectable, change in
the stove efficiency. This change can be counterbalanced by increasing or decreasing the stove’s
heat output by only one step.
•Clean the burn pot on a regular basis upon every ignition or pellet refuelling.
•Open the firebox only upon refuelling or removal of residues to prevent fumes from escaping.
•Do not switch the stove on and off intermittently to avoid damaging its electrical and electronic
components.
•Do not use liquid fuels.
