LIGHTING THE KEYBOARD (ACTIVATE / DEACTIVATE):
The keyboard models Uni_Teclado_11 and later versions have a function, which allows us to deactivate the
backlight of the keyboard when it is not necessary.
To activate this function we must place ourselves in the main screen and press the menu key ( ) for five
seconds. At this time, the blue LED on the keypad will blink twice, indicating that the function has been
activated. After twenty seconds without any activity of the keyboard or remote control the lighting of the
display will turn off and will only be activated again if a key is pressed on the control panel (keypad) or on the
remote control.
To deactivate this function, press ( ) for five seconds and after them the backlight will be activated.

Options and user settings.
Menu 1 contains all the options that allow the stove to be programmed, according to the user's
needs or adjustments required by the installation.
The most important adjustment is found in section 1-6a. By varying this parameter we can obtain the most
suitable combustion for our stove. The values pre-established by the manufacturer are usually effective, but
the characteristics of certain installations, make it necessary to readjust this parameter to obtain an
optimum combustion. This adjustment is only necessary once and, if possible, during the start-up of
the stove, supervised by the professional who carries out the installation.
Prior to entering the menu section, the information that allows us to check the programming on the top line
of the LCD always appears (graphic sequences number 6 and 21 models for air, 21A
p. Water). If we press again menu will appear menu screen 1. In case of wanting to return to the initial
state, press the on / off key (on / off).
Instructions by examples.
The schedules and adjustments made in the "Menu 1", they must be preceded by the key “Menu”. When you
press this, an asterisk will appear which tells us that we can vary the selected option. Once the adjustment
has been made, the memorization of it will be carried out whit the ON/OFF key, erasing the asterisk.The only
exception is found in the error selection sub-menu, since the change is made immediately using the increase
and decrease buttons.
To shorten the explanatory texts located below each sequence, the operations performed on the keyboard will
be indicated by a symbol in the form of a hand, which will show the key to be pressed.The result will appear
in the following sequence. There can be two operations in the same sequence. The start of a new section is
ndiicated by the image of the sequence in gray background.

Disconnect the stove. Keep the increment key pressed and then connect the stove again without releasing the
increment key.
After a few seconds, a numerical representation corresponding to the data that is being recovered will
appear. Release the increase key.
Adjustment of combustion air.
As we have already indicated on page number 5, the adjustment of the combustion air must be done as
carefully as possible.
Once the stove is on and has reached the power level 5, we enter the combustion air setting "Menu 1- 6a".
The flame must have liveliness without getting rid of fuel from the basket, that is, the flame must be vertical
but there must be too much air at the combustion point (basket).
We will observe that the tips of the flame tend to have an orange color without these traces of smoke. The
increase or decrease of the air level in the “Menu 1-6a”, it will be done varying +/- .01mB and waiting for next
30 seconds approximately, so that the modified value stabilizes. Depending on the results, we will continue
the adjustment or conclude the same. It is very important that the duration of this regulation be at least 15
minutes.
Observe when the stove is off and the cooling process is complete, if the bottom of the hearth has a grayish
color and no traces of dark areas, if so, combustion is proving satisfactory.
This regulation will remain permanently in the stove, so it is not necessary to modify it again.
The Viriato cpu will self-regulate combustion air based on the fuel, power required and waste
accumulated during the operation of the stove.
If the minimum air required by our combustion is not reached, the stove will turn off indicating
insufficient air in the combustion.
