A. GENERAL INFORMATION
a.1 Safety instr ctions
ATTENTION Read carefully and comply with these rules, before installing the stove:
• All local regulations, including those referring to national and European laws, ust be
respected while installing the stove.
• Verify if the wiring and plugs are able to bear the axi u absorption of the stove, which
is reported on the plate. Connect the stove to a nor -co pliant, 230v – 50Hz ains outlet.
Do not se adapters, ultiple sockets or extensions. Make sure the electrical syste is
provided with a nor -co pliant ear thing and differential switch.
● In order to install the stove you ust respect the current laws regarding the exhausting
through the flue. It is reco ended to connect the stove to the flue by an inspection box,
which should be easy to clean. It is necessary to refer to an authorized service center for the
installation and periodical aintenance of the stove in order to check the efficiency of the
flue draught, before and after the working season of the stove.
● While seasonally using the stove, in case of bad draught of unfavorable weather conditions
(te perature less than 0°C), verify if the flue is perfectly insulated and not obstructed, so to
avoid its freezing and the danger of a reflux.
● In case of fire inside the flue, i ediately switch the stove off.
● The stove consu es as uch air as it is necessary for the co bustion; it is thus advisable to
connect the stove to the outside by a suitable piping, ending at the special slot on the back
of the stove.
● Before the installation, ake sure the pave ent is able to bear the weight of the stove.
● If the pave ent is ade of infla able aterial, such as parquet or carpeting, position a
protection plate under the stove, (consider that, on the front of the stove, the plate should
exceed the stove by at least 25/30c ).
● For your safety, it is advisable to aintain a distance of at least 20c between the hot sides
of the stove and possibly infla able covering aterials (such as glass-beaded walls,
wallpapers et cetera); otherwise, to use specific insulating aterials, available on sale.
Please ake this consideration also regarding the furniture, ar chairs, curtains and so on.

● In order to facilitate the possible interventions by the technical assistance, do not fit the
stove inside closed spaces and do not place it adjacent to the walls, for this ay
co pro ise the correct afflux of the air.
● The lack of draught by the flue (or, for instance, the obstruction or closing of the air
entrance of the grate, or of the grate itself) alters the functioning of the stove, which, while
auto atically switching-on, ay provoke an excessive pellet dosage in the grate, due to
delayed fire pri ing. Excessive s oke in the co bustion cha ber can cause an auto atic
pri ing of the fu es (gas), acco panied by a violent fla e; in these conditions, we
reco end never opening the co bustion cha ber door.
● Co pletely avoid using infla able liquids to start the fire; when the stove is on, the pellet
lighting is auto atic.
● The pellet feeding the stove ust necessarily present the characteristics described in this
handbook.
● Do not touch the glass when the stove reaches its te perature; be cautious before touching
the stove.
● Do not leave unattended children close to the stove, when it is on, because each hot surface
can cause severe burns.
● Do not perfor interventions on the stove, apart fro those expected for a regular
functioning or suggested in this handbook in order to solve slight proble s. In any case,
always npl g the stove from the power s pply before an intervention, and operate solely
when the stove is cold.
● It is absolutely forbidden to re ove the guard protecting the pellet tank.
● Always ake sure and check for the co bustion cha ber door to be her etically closed
when the stove is lighting or functioning.
● The pellet auto atic lighting is the ost delicate phase; in order for it to take place
without inconveniences, we reco end always to keep the stove and the grate clean.
• If ano alies in the functioning should occur, light the stove again only after fixing the
proble at its origin.
● Castelmonte s.r.l. is not responsible for inconveniences, tampering, breakages or any other
damage due to non-observance of the instructions reported in this handbook.

a.3 Il pellet
The pellet f el is a prod ct with sawd st and shavings of wood processing that are dried, and
thereafter compacted at high press re, only thanks to the binding capacity of lignin, a s bstance
nat rally present in the wood , no adhesive or chemicals are added .
For this reason, the pellet is considered a nat ral and renewable f el.
The pellet has other important advantages:
• has a calorific val e greater than that of wood
• is economic: the cost in € per kW of pellets is less
than methane
• Provides clean energy and non-poll ting, beca se of
its low emissions of CO
• It is convenient to carry and easy to s pply
• It is safe beca se it is less flammable fossil f el
• leaves only small amo nts of ash after se
NB: The se of pellet of very low q ality or of different material as f el for yo r stove damages
the device and ca ses the cessation of warranty and man fact rer liability.
On the market are available different types of pellet that mainly depends on what mixt re of
woods is sed.
The table below s mmarizes the main characteristics of the pellets recommended:
Diameter 6 – 6,5 .
Maxim n lenght 20 - 25 .
Calorific Val e 4,9 kW/Kg.
H midity ax. 10%
Ash ax. 0,5%
Material 100% non treated wood
The stove is designed to b rn pellets of non-resino s wood, so se a pellet poor interventions
involve freq ent internal cleaning of the brazier, glass and comb stion chamber.
The pellet sho ld be stowed in a dry and sheltered area; attention sho ld be given to the
handling of the bags to prevent cr shing of the same res lting in the formation of sawd st.

a.4 G arantee
The guarantee is valid only if the official aintenance certificate attached to the stove is
signed by the Authorized Castel onte Service Center, which is the only one authorized to
start up the stove.
The expected 24-months g arantee is valid excl sively when the installation and test are
performed by an A thorized Castelmonte Service Center.
We would like to ake clear that the guarantee expires in case of ta pering, breakages, and
si ilar, due to non-observance of the instructions reported in this handbook.

B. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
b.1 Initial warnings
The stove ust be installed on a pave ent that presents an adequate load capacity. If the
existing building does not satisfy this require ent, appropriate easures (for instance a
burden distribution plate) ust be taken.
The installation of the device ust guarantee an easy access to clean the stove, the
exhausted gas piping and the flue.
Air e traction fans or other devices that can create a depression, installed in the
same room of the stove, can cause malfunctioning of the stove itself.
b.2 Handling and transport
Make sure that the devised used for lifting and transporting the stove support its weight,
which is reported on the identity plate on the back of the stove. The lifting of the stove is
nor ally perfor ed with an elevation trolley, by inserting the pitchforks in the proper slots
of the wooden packing. In order to position the stove inside a roo , a good general rule is to
lay the stove on the floor gently, with axi u caution and avoiding any violent i pact
b.3 Positioning

The installation ust be in a roo which allows a safe and easy operation and si ple
aintenance. This place ust also be equipped with electrical grounding as required by law.
The stove ust be installed on a floor that presents an adequate load capacity.
We reco end putting a floor-guarding plate if the floor is fla able (i.e. parquet or
carpet.
We suggest installing the stove in a spot as central as possible to the area you wish to heat
to get the best heat circulation.

Installation m st be done by q alified personnel
For safety reasons, aintain a distance of, at least 20
c . between the hot sides of the stove and possible
fla able covering aterials (such as wood panelled
walls, wallpapers)
