A. GENERAL INFORMATION
a.1 General safety rules
ATTENTION PLEASE!!! You can never be too cautious: before the installation read and
comply with these fundamental Rules:
● All local regulations, including those referring to national and European laws, must be
respected while installing the stove.
● Verify if the electrical system and the mains outlets are able to bear the maximum
absorption of the stove, which is reported on the plate. Connect the stove to a norm-
compliant, 230v – 50Hz mains outlet. Avoid using adapters, multiple sockets or extensions.
Make sure the electrical system is provided with a norm-compliant earthing and differential
switch.
● In order to install the stove you must respect the current laws regarding the exhausting
through the flue. It is advisable to connect the stove to the flue by a terminal, which should
be easy to inspect. We remind you that it is necessary to refer to an authorized assistance
center for the installation and periodical maintenance of the stove, so to check the efficiency
of the flue draught, before and after the combustion work of the stove.
● While seasonally using the stove, in case of bad draught of unfavorable weather conditions
(temperature lesser than 0°C), verify if the flue is perfectly cohibented and not obstructed,
so to avoid its freezing and the danger of a reflux.
● In case of fire inside the flue, immediately switch the stove off.
● The stove consumes as much air as it is necessary for the combustion; 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.
● Given the weight of the stove, before the installation, make sure the pavement is able to
bear it.
● If the pavement is made of inflammable material, such as parquet or carpeting, position a
plate under the stove to protect it, (consider that, on the front of the stove, the plate should
exceed the stove by at least 25/30cm).
● For your safety, it is advisable to maintain a distance of at least 20cm between the hot sides
of the stove and possibly inflammable covering materials (such as glass-beaded walls,
wallpapers et cetera); otherwise, to use specific insulating materials, available on sale.
Please make this consideration also regarding the furniture, armchairs, 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 may
compromise 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
automatically switching-on, may provoke an excessive pellet dosage in the grate, due to
delayed fire priming. Excessive smoke in the combustion chamber can cause an automatic
priming of the fumes (gas), accompanied by a violent flame; in these conditions, we
recommend never opening the combustion chamber door.
● Categorically avoid using inflammable liquids to start the fire; when the stove is on, the
pellet lighting is automatic.
● The pellets feeding the stove must necessarily present the characteristics described in this
handbook.
● Do not touch the glass when the stove reaches its temperature; be cautious before touching
the stove.
● Avoid letting children close to the stove on their own, when it is on, because each hot
surface can provoke severe burns.
● Do not perform interventions on the stove, apart from those expected for a regular
functioning or suggested in this handbook in order to solve slight problems. In any case,
always unplug the stove from the power supply before an intervention, and operate solely
when the stove is cold.
● It is absolutely forbidden to remove the guard protecting the pellet tank.
● Always make sure and check for the combustion chamber door to be hermetically closed
when the stove is lighting or functioning.
● The pellet automatic lighting is the most delicate phase; in order for it to take place without
inconveniences, we recommend always to keep the stove and the grate clean.
● If anomalies in the functioning should occur, light the stove again only after fixing the
problem at its origin.
● Karmek One Srl is not responsible for inconveniences, tampering, breakages or any other
damage due to non-observance of the instructions reported in this handbook.
● The handbook is part of the unit, and should be stored and accompany the equipment in
case of a change of ownership.
● This appliance is not for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory,

7
mental abilities or low experience and knowledge, unless they have been supervised or
educated to the use of the appliance by the person who is responsible for its security.

a.5 Guarantee
The guarantee certificate, which we consigned to you when you purchased the stove, must be
sent to the producer firm Karmek One Srl, 8 days after delivery date the latest; otherwise, the
guarantee itself will no longer be valid. The estimated 24-months guarantee is valid
exclusively when the installation and test are performed by an authorized Karmek One
assistance center.
We would like to make clear that the guarantee expires in case of tampering, breakages, and
similar, due to non-observance of the instructions reported in this handbook.
a.6 Suitable fuel
The stove functions solely by pellets, a cylinder-shaped fuel made out of a mixture of various
wooden materials; pellets are compliant to DIN 51731 regulations.
The following list summarizes the main characteristics of recommended pellets:

The stove is built to burn not-resinous, preferably beech-wood pellets; therefore, using pellets
whose characteristics are different from the ones listed above reduces its efficiency, provokes
a bad combustion and the formation of incrustations.
Should you use different pellets from the ones recommended the stove’s guarantee would
expire.
a.7 Ordering spares
Exclusively authorized Karmek One technical personnel must perform interventions of any
entity.
Please refer to the authorized assistance center or to your retailer for possible requests of
spares.

B. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
b.1 Initial warnings
The device must be installed on a pavement that presents an adequate burden capacity. If the
existing building does not satisfy this requirement, appropriate measures (for instance a
burden distribution plate) must be taken.
The installation of the device must guarantee an easy access to clean the stove, the
exhausted gas piping and the flue.
Extraction fans can cause problems, when used in the same room or space of the device.
b.2 Moving and transporting
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 normally
performed with an elevation trolley, by inserting the pitchforks in the proper slots of the
wooden packing. In order to position the stove inside a room, a good general rule is to lay the
stove on the floor gently, with maximum caution and avoiding any violent impact.
b.3 Positioning
For positioning the stove, we suggest you to choose a spot that is as central as possible to the
area you wish to heat; this will facilitate a uniform distribution of the heat and will help
obtaining an optimum efficiency.
We recommend putting a floor-guarding plate close to the flue or to inflammable materials
(such as parquet or carpeting).
For sa
fety reasons, maintain a distance of at least 20cm
between the hot sides of the stove and possibly
inflammable covering materials (such as glass-beaded
walls, wallpapers et cetera); otherwise, use specific
insulating materials, available on sale.
L=20 cm min. B=20 cm min. R=20 cm min.

11
b.4 Channeling
The stove is able to convey a part of the heat in another environment through a lever in the
lower front of the stove. If the switch remains in the open position (right) the heated air is
pumped only from the front top and bottom of the stove. If the switch remains in the closed
position (left) the air is pumped both from the upper front part and the rear of the stove through
a Ø80 pipe that allows to divert a part of the heat in another environment.
b.5 Installing the flue gas outlet
The installation can be performed either without a masonry flue, or with an existing flue.
FIG 1. INSTALLATION WITHOUT A MASONRY FLUE
Flue gas outlet Ø 80 – Using an easy to inspect T-joint, reach the outside of the building
horizontally; proceed vertically until you reach the roof with a cohibented flue, equipped with
an anti-wind chimneystack. All the joints must be sealed.
FIG. 2. INSTALLATION WITH AN EXISTING FLUE
Flue gas outlet Ø 80 – Reach the existing flue horizontally, making sure that it presents a
minimum section of 200cm² and an easy to inspect base, for its annual cleaning. All the joints
must be sealed.
IMPORTANT!! We recommend you to have the installing technician verify the efficiency and
the state of the flue, the observance of national and local laws regarding flue gas outlets’
joints, and to use appropriate materials.
The information reported above is purely indicative for a correct installation; Karmek One Srl is
not responsible for what concerns the installation.

b.6 Installing the combustion air inlet pipe
For any described solution, two alternatives are possible:
● Draw the air directly from the outside through a piping (internal Ø 50mm; max length
1,5m), connected to the air inlet pipe on the back of the stove.
● Draw the air directly from the installation room, given that in the proximity of the stove an
air inlet pipe (minimum area 100 cm²) is installed on the sidewall, so that it communicates
with the outside.
In both cases, periodically verify that nothing has obstructed the passage of the air.
IMPORTANT: This device cannot be used on a shared flue.
b.7 Connecting to the power supply
Verify if the electrical system and the mains outlets present the capacity to support the
maximum absorption of the stove, which is reported on the plate.
Make sure the system is provided with a norm-compliant earthing and differential switch.
The stove must be connected to a norm-compliant, 230v – 50Hz mains outlet. Avoid using
adapters, multiple sockets or extensions.
Make sure the cable connecting to the system is not touching any hot surface of the stove;
also make sure the stove is not treading on the cable.
The engine of the stove is protected by a fuse, which is inserted in the general switch on the
back of the stove.
Remember always to unplug the stove from the power supply before performing any
maintenance and/or control intervention.
