2. INTENDED USE
The Astra pellet stove is an eective home heating appliance intended to heat a room with hot blown air. It simultaneously performs
the function of a replace as you view the re through the temperature-resistant glass. It can be installed in all kinds of residential spaces
where people work, relax or spend their time. In order to reduce any possible danger to human health and property, the stove Astra is
equipped with special safety devices. For added convenience, control of the appliance can be fully automated. Once programmed, the
Astra pellet stove is capable of maintaining dierent heating output levels at a variety of pre-set time intervals over the course of a day,
seven days a week; it sustains a set air temperature in the room with the help of an integrated temperature sensor; and it even makes the

decision to stop the appliance if unfavourable safety conditions arise: draught of the ue disappears or has fallen substantially, the door
of the stove is opened during the operation; the pellet hopper heats up; or other potentially harmful events happen. In addition, the stove
can be operated by a remote control unit (available by special order).
Only 6 mm wood pellets are used for fuelling the Astra stove. The appliance is not designed to be operated with any other kind of fuel
because other fuels leave a greater content of ashes and slag.The latter then will cause the re pot to clog, activating emergency stop of
the appliance. In order to enjoy the pleasant heat of the stove without unpleasant interruptions, use only high-quality 6 mm wood pellets
and keep the combustion chamber, re pot and ue channels of the stove cleaned at all times.
3. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
• COMPONENTS OF THE STOVE
Wood pellets from the hopper 4 are transported by means of the auger 5 into the re pot 19 (Fig. 1).The electrical igniter 18 kindles
the pellets. The ame and hot ue gases rise to stainless steel heat exchanger 1, descend afterwards by two lateral ue channels
surrounding the combustion chamber and are released with help of exhaust fan 16 into the chimney connection pipe 13. The room
ventilator 7 draws air from surroundings and blows it through the hot heat exchanger tubes 1, thus supplying heat.

4. FUEL
Use 6 mm diameter high quality pellets to fuel a stove. When purchasing pellets, make sure that they comply with EN 14961-2, class
A1 and their packing is marked correspondingly:
EN 14961-2, class A1,
ENplius-A1,
DinPlius.
Wood pellets of lower quality could also be used for fueling but the stove‘s operation in that case will not be stable because of the
fuel quality. Do not use the non-wood pellets for fueling the stove.
Parameters of pellets according to EN14961 standard, class A1:
Length 3.15-40 mm
Diameter D06 6 +/-1 mm
Weight BD600 > 600 kg/m3
Caloric value Q4.6 > 4.6 kWh/kg
Residual humidity M10 < 10 %
Ashes content A0.7 < 0.7 %
Fines content F1.0 < 1 %
Do not put a bag of pellets on the surface of the
stove during the loading operations!
The pellets must be transported and stored in a dry place. They
swell after contact with moisture and become unsuitable for
ring. The pellets must always be protected against humidity
both during transportation and storage.
Astra strongly advices using the 6 mm diameter
wood pellets for fuelling the Astra stove.
5. PLACEMENT, ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION
• CONSIDERATIONS FOR PLACEMENT OF THE STOVE
The residential space considered for the placement of the stove must meet the following technical requirements:
• Pipe connection to a chimney of 8 cm diameter must be installed;
• The supply of air for combustion must be assured either from other ventilated rooms through opening of at least 100 cm2, or directly
from outside through the 50 mm air intake pipe. The design of grilles mounted on the opening shall exclude blocking of the air
supply;
• The permanent humidity of air in the room must not exceed 80%;
• A connection of electrical supply of 230V, 50 Hz must be installed;
• CE compliant earthing system must be present.
The placement of the stove is important for the successful heating of the room. Please, take into account the next considerations
before deciding where to place the stove:
• If the supply air needed for combustion is to be taken from another room, that room must be ventilated or have air inow from
outside. The stove can consume up to 40 m3of air per hour at maximum, so the sucient amount of it must be supplied either from
outside or from another inner space of a house;
• The stove cannot be placed in the bathroom, near a shower or bath, or in another space with high humidity level;
• If wooden ooring is present in the desired place of installation, rst cover it with a protective re-resistant plate made from steel,
glass or ceramic;
• The room in which the stove is to be placed must have at least 30 m3of volume;
• Make sure that a oor base on the place of installation has a sucient holding capacity to bear weight of the stove;
• It is recommended to place the stove in the largest room of a house or in a room which has good connectivity with other inner spaces
of a house, so that the maximum circulation of heat would be ensured;
• Connection to the electrical supply must be done through a grounded socket. If the cable of the stove is not long enough to reach the
nearest socket, use a grounded extension cable;
• If another heating installation (stove, replace) without autonomous air supply is present in the room of considered placement of the
Astra stove, evaluate, whether there would be a sucient air supply for both appliances working simultaneously and if that kind of
double installation is allowed by local technical regulations;
The stove must be installed and assembled only by qualied personnel.
• The stove must be placed so that easy access to it and to a chimney is ensured.

8
Astra P-10 USER MANUAL
• The joints of chimney pipes must have temperature resistant gaskets in order to ensure sucient tightness of the connections;
• A separate chimney is mandatory for the Astra stove installation. It is not permitted to connect the stove to a shared ue;
• The connection of the air intake tube of the stove to an outside is not obligatory. If the air for combustion is taken from inner spaces
of the house, these must be ventilated so that up to 40 m3of air inow is ensured;
• Do not use a mesh on the top of a chimney because it can reduce draught and cause problems for the stove functioning;
• When designing the chimney piping for the stove, do not use more than 3 pieces of 90° bends. The biggest distance between the
adjacent bends must not exceed 2,5 meters horizontally;
• A minimum distance of 10 cm should be left from the rear stove panel to the wall. A 20 cm free space must be left from lateral sides
of the stove and 150 cm- from the front side.

• PATTERNS OF INSTALLATION
A 90° bend should not be installed as the rst
connecting part – ashes would quickly obstruct a
passage for smoke causing unexpected problems
for draught of the ue (Fig 4).
This type of installation (Fig. 3) requires an
insulated ue, as the whole smoke pipe is
installed outside the house. A chimney tee with
an inspection cap and condensate drain pipe is
mounted in the lower part of the ue.

Insulated ue
This type of installation (Fig. 8) does not require an insulated ue for the part inside the house, whereas for the outside part an
insulated tube must be used. A chimney tee with a peephole is installed in the lower part of the ue inside the house. Another
chimney tee is installed in the outside part of the ue making it available for inspection.
Sucient draught is essential for the eciency of all chimneys. Draught arises from temperature dierences inside and outside of
the chimney, which consequently cause pressure dierences.
Weatherand geographicalconditionssuch aswind,snow, rain,altitude abovesea level,fog, etc.,can alsohavean impact onchimney
draught. Among them, wind is certainly the most important. Wind generally increases draught except in cases of downdraughts,
temperature inversions, or cross draughts caused by tall trees, hills, or buildings in close proximity to the chimney. These situations
can cause the smoke to be pushed back DOWN the chimney.
The installation, placement, and design of the chimney have a direct inuence on the stove’s functioning. Any negative inuence
of installation can be compensated for by reprogramming the stove controller.This adjustment must be done by qualied service
personnel.

11
Astra P-10 USER MANUAL
The minimum height of chimney from the stove’s smoke pipe to the chimney top is 4 meters. The recommended lengths of various
parts of combined internal/external ue are presented in Fig. 9.
6. TRANSPORTATION, STORAGE, UNPACKING
The stove is to be transported and packaged in original packaging of the manufacturer, protected from precipitation and dust. It
must be transported only in the vertical position, fastened to avoid sliding and falling. If the stove is transported any other way,
decorative surfaces may be damaged, cladding battered, control and regulation equipment broken, or the re pot may fall down and
harm the vermiculite plates. The appliance should be carefully loaded, unloaded and transported, to avoid any signicant impact.
The stoves can be loaded one on the top of another, because the packaging is designed so that the stoves may be transported and
stored in two decks. However, loading other objects on the top is prohibited as the packaging frame of the stove has been designed
specically to support the same stove.
The stove should also be stored in a vertical position, in a closed room protected from precipitation. The air humidity of the room
should not exceed 80%, in order to avoid condensate forming on the surfaces of the appliance. Storage temperatures may vary from
-40 °C to +60 °C. If the stove was transported or stored in sub-zero temperatures, then it should be moved to a place above zero for
no less than 2 hours before being used.
After the stove is delivered to the site, take o the packing frame and polyethylene lm, remove the stove from the packaging base.
Then check if all elements listed in a delivery kit are included.The delivery kit consists of the following: stove - 1 pc.; cable with plug
for electrical connection - 1 pc.; re pot - 1 pc.; protective handle - 1 pc.; user manual - 1 pc.; remote control (only when ordered
separately) - 1 pc.
The user manual is an integral part of the stove. Please, make sure that it remains with the stove, including
cases when it is transferred to another user or another place.
Check to ensure that painted surfaces have not been damaged during transportation, that the components are not bent, and that
the control and regulation equipment is intact. If you notice any damage or discrepancies, present your claims to the vendor company.
7. KINDLING
Connect the stove to the electrical supply and turn on the switch 3 on the lower half of the rear panel of the stove (Fig. 19). Lift the
lid of the pellet hopper, put the opened end of a pellet sack on the hopper aperture and ll it. Avoid spilling pellets into ventilation

Before kindling the stove, take out the re pot 19 (Fig. 1) and make sure that holes of the pot are clean and unclogged.
When kindling the stove after a longer cessation, before the new heating season, make sure that the air intake pipe, the re pot and the ue channels of the stove are clean and passable.
8. OPERATION
• DISPLAY AND REMOTE CONTROL
The remote control unit does not come in a standard delivery kit of a stove. It must be ordered separately.
The Astra stove controller consists of two parts: a display and a control board mounted near the base of the stove. The
display operates by principle of capacitive touchscreen. Pushing buttons on it requires good contact with the ngertip rather than
force. Therefore, the display will not react if gloves are worn while attempting to use the controller.
Button Description
This button is used to start and stop the combustion process in the stove.The process is launched or stopped by
pressing the button and holding it for 1 second.
Menu buttons are intended to navigate horizontally the controller menu (look at the menu structure tree
presented below).The chosen section of the menu is indicated in the upper line of indicators on the display.
Edit buttons are used for two purposes: vertical navigation (look at the menu tree) and increasing/decreasing
parameter values in the edit mode, when the selected value blinks.
Enter button is used for entering the edit mode, conrming the set parameter values or entering the lower menu
levels.
Cancellation button is used for discarding the made changes and returning up one level in the menu. If you press
and hold this button for more than 3 seconds, the last error or alert code will be displayed.

for changing the burning power and temperature settings, turning the combustion in the stove on and o.
In the upper part of the display, there is a line of indicators signaling various modes and alerts of the controller. The IR sensor in that
line is used for communication with remote control unit.
The screen displays the set or current values for the currently selected menu option. Buttons help to navigate through the menu and
control dierent functions of the stove controller. The intended use of the buttons is described in the table above.
The display has an integrated beeper. The beeper generates feedback signals, when the display buttons are being pressed. The
following sound signals are available:
• Short high tone: sounds when navigating the menu and editing the settings.
• Long low tone: sounds in case of an invalid operation (wrong button pressed).
• Long high tone: in case of an alert, this tone sounds with the user-dened volume; in case of an error, this tone sounds at 100%
volume; for description of alerts and errors, refer to the chapter“Troubleshooting”.
• NAVIGATING THE MENU
In order to navigate the menu horizontally, in the same level, use the menu buttons . When choosing a menu option, an icon
in the indicator line of the display lights up. At the same time, the screen indicates either the value of the chosen menu parameter, or,
in the case the chosen menu section has a sublevel (for example, Time menu), the value of the rst subsection parameter.
In order to navigate the menu vertically, use the menu buttons . When navigating the lower sublevel of the menu, a number
of a particular menu subsection briey lights up. For example, the Time menu section has a lower level menu consisting of four
subsections. Each time you skip to the next subsection the number from 1 to 4 lights in the screen.
To modify a setting in the menu, press button to enter the edit mode for the selected setting. The screen value starts blinking.
Use buttons to change the value. To move through the steps in the edit mode, use . buttons. When nished, press
button to save the setting and exit the edit mode. The display returns to the menu entry you have just edited.
The screen of the display shows the set value or the actual measured value, depending on the setting. For example, when you edit
the temperature, you enter the desired room temperature. After you exit the edit mode, the screen indicates the actual measured
temperature which may dier from the set temperature. When you edit, for example, the burning power setting, the screen indicates
the set value.
To exit the edit mode without saving the changes, press button. This button is also used for returning up one level in the menu.
For example, if you are editing the Program 3 in the Weekly Timer Periods menu subsection, press the Cancel button to discard the
changes and return to Program 3. Pressing the Cancel button further moves you to Weekly Timer Periods, then - to the Clock menu
section.

• SETTING THE ROOM TEMPERATURE
The stove is capable of sustaining the desired room temperature. It has a room temperature sensor for that purpose.The sensor must
be placed as far from the stove as its cord allows. The stove reacts to indications of the sensor and increases the heating power after
the air in the room has cooled down. When the temperature in the room rises, the stove decreases the heating power or even stops.
There are two ways to set the desired room temperature:
• use weekly timer programs;
• set the room temperature manually.
When using weekly timer, you describe time intervals for each day of a week and assign the desired temperatures to them. For more
information about time programing see the previous chapter Setting the WeeklyTimer Programs.
It is also possible to set the desired room temperature manually. If a weekly timer program is active at the same time, the manually
set room temperature temporary gains priority.This priority disappears, when the current weekly timer program ends.When the next
time program starts, the room temperature again is controlled by the weekly timer.
To view a current room temperature, press button to enter the Temperature menu section. The actual measured room
temperature value is indicated on the screen.
Actual measured room temperature.
To set the desired room temperature, press . button. The screen indicates the target temperature in the blinking mode. Increase
or decrease this value with buttons.
Target temperature value blinks.
When nished, press button for conrmation. The actual measured room temperature is indicated on the screen again.
The room temperature can be set and changed with remote control as well. It is treated by the controller the same as a manual setting.
The anti-freeze mode enables a user to set the lowest permissible temperature of a room. When the mode is
turned on, the stove starts at 0,1°C lower than the anti-freeze temperature independently from other programs
set by the user. The stove turns o when the anti-freeze temperature is exceeded by 1,1°C. The cycle can repeat
continuously. The anti-freeze temperature setting interval is 1 - 20°C.
OFF means that anti-freeze mode is switched o.The stove does not protect a room from freezing.
The lowest permissible temperature of a room is 3°C.
... ...
The lowest permissible temperature of a room is 20°C.

• OUTPUT POWER REGULATION
To view the burning power setting, press button to enter the Power menu section. There are six power
levels. The stove increases burning power by raising the quantity of pellets being transported by the auger per
time period and the quantity of supplied air for combustion simultaneously. If the target room temperature is set,
the stove chooses the optimal burning power level itself.The stove lowers the burning power level itself for better
economy, after the target room temperature has been achieved. By default, when you do not set the power level
manually the stove controller returns to the automatic power mode.To change power level press button and
use buttons to increase/decrease the selected values.

• REGULATION OF THE ROOM VENTILATOR
The controller enables you to change the rotational speed of the room ventilator. There are six levels of the speed:
. We recommend you to let the stove itself decide upon the rotational
intensity. For this option, the speed setting must be chosen.The optimal stove control principle requires that a user of the
stove would rather set a desired room temperature with weekly timer or manually and let the stove to decide itself which burning
power and rotational speed levels are most appropriate in the given situation.
• SETTING THE FUEL OPTIONS
The Fuel menu section enables you to select the fuel quality.The quality of pellets are expressed in the following values:
. These values stand for the moisture content in pellets.The dryer the fuel, the higher fuel value in this menu

9. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Regular cleaning is of crucial importance for the continued operation of the stove. Failure to follow the cleaning schedule, or the use
of dirty fuel can clog the inner spaces of the stove. These impurities can hinder air supply to the combustion chamber and cause the
stove to stop working. To prevent this outcome, it is highly recommended that the user perform the cleaning activities specically as
described in the following chapters.
• CLEANING SCHEDULE
Tasks/ Frequency Daily Once per 2-3 days Once per 30 days Once per 60-90 days Once per season
Fire pot cleaning o
Ashes drawer emptying o
Door glass cleaning o
Flame trap cleaning o
Exchanger tubes scraping o
Combustion chamber vacuuming o
Pellet hopper vacuuming o
Flue channels cleaning o
Door gasket changing o
Chimney cleaning o
Before starting cleaning works, make sure that:
• The electrical supply switch on the rear panel of the stove is OFF;

20
Astra P-10 USER MANUAL
• All stove components and ashes have cooled down suciently;
• Suitable tools will be used for cleaning;
• The electrical cable is unplugged when ue channels are to be
cleaned.
When cleaning the combustion chamber, be careful and do not clog the pressure sensor’s pipe which is
mounted inside, on the left wall of the chamber, under a
vermiculite plate. The pipe must remain unobstructed.
The frequency of maintenance and cleaning depends directly on
the quality of pellets used. Burning high quality pellets allows you to
devote less time and attention to cleaning activities, and to increase
the periods between cleanings. Vice versa, bad quality pellets will
require shorter intervals between cleaning tasks. The quality of the
pellets and a sound adjustment of combustion are essential to the
reliable operation of the stove.
The pellet stove is a generator of heat and technically sophisticated
appliance. Therefore, we strongly recommend servicing by qualied
personnel at least once a year, at the start of the heating season to
ascertain and ensure the continued function and eciency of all the
stove's components.
• EXTERIOR SURFACES CLEANING
To clean the surfaces on the painted metal parts, use a cloth slightly moistened in water. If necessary, mild soap may also be used.
Rub the surfaces gently and with care.
Do not use any aggressive detergents or solvents – they can cause serious damage to the surfaces of the stove. Do not scrub excessively the metal paint - the structured paint surface changes its shading because
of rubbing impact.
• HEAT EXCHANGER TUBES CLEANING
The heat exchanger is composed of stainless steel tubes. Smoke ows constantly around the outer surface of the tubes leaving soot
residues on them. These residues must be removed every 2 days of operation. For this purpose, inside the heat exchanger there is a
scraper which brushes the tubes' surfaces like a comb. Pull the handle of the scraper 1 ( Fig. 12) towards yourself. To complete the
cleaning session, push and pull this handle till halting several times.
• ASHES DRAWER CLEANING
The ashes drawer must be cleaned daily or every 2-3 days,
depending on the length of time the stove is used and the quality
of pellets used. Open the door of the stove. Lift the handle of the
ashes drawer 4, pull out the drawer (Fig. 12) and empty ashes.
Be careful- surfaces can be hot! Clean the ashes drawer only when the stove has cooled down!
• COMBUSTION CHAMBER CLEANING
Clean the combustion chamber every 2-3 days. Use a drum-type
vacuum cleaner for cleaning the combustion chamber. Make sure that no ashes are left after the cleaning session.
• FIRE POT CLEANING
A clean re pot is of essential importance to assure uninterrupted stove operation. During the combustion process, increments of
ashes and slag ll up the holes of the pot (Fig. 14). These increments must be removed immediately because they block the air ow.
