Where it is necessary to have a horizontal length of
pipe, there must be a minimum positive gradient of
3% along its length.
Do not run flue pipe in a horizontal plain or in a
reverse gradient.
Do not install the smoke outlet at pavement level,
on public streets, car-parks or anywhere that might
cause annoyance to people and/or animals.
The flue must be installed with the outlet above roof
level complying with current building regulations. A
maximum flue length of 8 metres is allowed. for
each 90obend or T fitting, reduce the length by one
metre. A minimum flue draught of 10 Pascals is
required.
IMPORTANT: All sections of the flue pipe must be
accessible for inspection, and allow for internal
cleaning, removal or substitution.
Do not place a net or grill over the flue outlet. When
they become dirty they will obstruct the outlet and
cause poor combustion, and the stove may be
blocked with soot.
COMBUSTION AIR
The process of combustion requires oxygen, and
therefore air. When in operation, the stove draws air
from the room in which it is installed; poor combus-
tion may therefore result if the room is insufficiently
ventilated.
To resolve this problem, a suitable vent hole must
be provided to allow a permanent supply of fresh air
from the outside. The cross-section of the vent must
be 6 cm² for each kW of energy consumed at max-
imum input therefore the ventilation hole must have
a cross-sectional area of 83 cm² if a flue draught
stabiliser is fitted.
If no flue draught stabiliser is fitted the ventilation
requirement is 44cm².
If the stove is located in a room containing another
appliance cooker hood or extractor fan, it is essen-
tial to provide ventilation equivalent to the sum of
the air requirement for all appliances.
The vent must not be placed directly beside the
appliance in order to avoid drawing in air that is too
cold: at certain times of the year when the appli-
ance is very cold, the stove may be locked out
when you first attempt to light it. If this occurs, the
situation should be considered absolutely normal,
and you can unlock the stove using the switch #4
located on the control panel. Then switch on again.
SAFETY AND CORRECT USE OF THE APPLI-
ANCE
Before switching on for the first time, read the fol-
lowing safety instructions.
1. Some parts of the stove become hot (door,
glass, flue, etc.), and contact with these parts
may cause burns.
2. Do not place combustible or inflammable
materials beside the stove, and never at less
than 1 metre.
3. Do not store bags of pellets close to the stove.
4. Your stove burns pellets only - it is not an incin-
erator. It is forbidden to burn other materials or
household waste as fuel.
5. When loading pellets into the tank, avoid pour
ing sawdust along with them. Failure to follow
this instruction may make the appliance unsafe,
and void all warranties.
6. Keep children away from this the stove. Do not
open the door when the stove is lit.
7. Do not switch off the electric power supply
while the stove is on. This will cause the smoke
extractor fan to stop, and the burning fuel will
cause smoke to issue into the room if there is
no natural upward draught in the chimney.
8. When the stove is lit for the first time, the var-
nish may release fumes, and these may emit
an unpleasant odour. The room must therefore
must be ventilated to evacuate these fumes.
The varnish will be fully hardened after several
heating cycles (2-3). On first lighting the stove
may lockout as there is no pellet in the feed.
The display will show ALARM NO FIRE. The
stove has to be switched off and on again to
reset.
9. Periodically ensure that the gaskets between
stove and flue pipe are gas tight.
10. In case of fire, switch off the stove, move any
flammable materials away, and call the fire
services.
IN CASE OF CHIMNEY FIRE
Switch off appliance and close all openings into the
stove, watch for ignition of adjacent combustibles
from hot embers or sparks from chimney.
