WARNINGS BEFORE IGNITION
GENERAL WARNINGS
Remove all parts that may burn from the brazier and the glass (manual, various adhesive labels or any polystyrene).
Check that the brazier is positioned correctly and rests properly on the base.
The rst start-up may not be successful as the feed screw is empty and does not always manage to load the brazier
with the required amount of pellets in time to light the ame.
CLEAR THE FAILED IGNITION ALARM FROM THE STOVE PANEL OR APP.
REMOVE THE PELLETS LEFT IN THE BRAZIER AND REPEAT IGNITION. (SEE “SAFETY DEVICES/ALARMS” PARAGRAPH)
If, after repeated attempts, the ame fails to ignite, despite a regular ow of pellets, check the correct positioning of the brazier,
which must rest snugly against the slots. If no anomaly is found during this inspection, there may be a problem with the product
components or installation may not be correct.
REMOVE THE PELLETS FROM THE BRAZIER AND CONTACT AN AUTHORISED TECHNICIAN.
Do not touch the stove during the rst start-up, as it is during this phase that the paint sets. If you touch the paint,
you may expose the steel surface.
It is good practice to ensure eective ventilation in the room during the initial start-up, as the stove will emit some
smoke and smell of paint.
If necessary, touch up the paint with the spray can of the specic colour.
Do not stand close to the stove and, as mentioned, air out the room. The smoke and smell of paint will disappear after about an hour of
operation, however, they are not harmful in any case.
The product will be subject to expansion and contraction during the start-up and cooling stages, therefore slight
creaking noises may be heard. This is absolutely normal and must not be considered a defect as the structure is made
of laminated steel.
Upon rst ignition, for the rst pellet hopper, it is recommended to start the stove at maximum power so that the structure and the
smell of the paint settle more quickly.
It is recommended to install the ceramic or serpentine stone cladding after the rst successful ignition.
DO NOT EXPECT HEATING EFFICIENCY IMMEDIATELY!!!

11-SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
APP
The MCZ Maestro App is already available on the“Handheld remote control”accessory or will be available in various playstores.
STOVE
Equipped with MAESTRO system
OPERATION
For the utmost versatility of use, two Wi-Fi modules have been designed, supporting priority connection with your smartphone and/or
handheld remote control (optional).
The stove’s operating status, room temperature, operating parameters (such as ventilation, power, etc.) and any alarms may be checked
remotely.
Attention!
The App is already available in English on the “Handheld remote control” accessory as the language used on the
telephone is set by default. If the App is downloaded onto a personal smartphone, it similarly adopts the language
already in use on the phone. In either case, it is possible to open the “LANGUAGE” screen in the app and select the
desired language.

12-FIRST APP START-UP AND ASSOCIATION WITH MCZ STOVES
Technical Dept. - All rights reserved - Reproduction prohibited
The app lets you communicate with MCZ stoves using two technologies:
• home Wi-Fi
• remote Wi-Fi
HOME WI-FI
Point-to-point connection between the telephone and the stove, to communicate with the stove without relying on routers or internet
connections. This is possible when the telephone and stove are located nearby (we recommend max 5 metres). The range of action
depends on the characteristics of the walls and how the home is structured.
REMOTE WI-FI
Connection between the app and stove using an internet connection. With this technology you can communicate with the stove from
anywhere. Near the stove there must be a Wi-Fi router providing an internet connection and the mobile phone in turn must have a data
connection.
The rst time you start the app without having congured any devices, the app opens displaying the“device list”screen.
There are two ways to associate MCZ devices:
• automatically
• manually

12-FIRST APP START-UP AND ASSOCIATION WITH MCZ STOVES
EXAMPLE OF QR AND PASSWORD LABEL
IMPORTANT!! Do not lose or remove the QR code from the stove. If the stove is reset and/or the smartphone and/or
handheld remote controlare changed, you must have the QR code and passwords available to congure the system.
AUTOMATIC MODE
The QR code and the passwords are located at the back of the stove and in the warranty.
Scan the QR code using the camera of the device (accessory or smartphone) and acquire it.
When the code is acknowledged, the app will ask you to enter an identication number for the stove (for example“living room stove”) to
easily identify the stove/s in the list of congured devices.
This will automatically congure the app to work with both homeWI-FI and remote WI-FI technology.

SWITCHING THE EQUIPMENT OFF
To switch the equipment o, press and hold the ON-OFF button on the remote control or on the APP.The acoustic beep conrms this phase
has started.
Alternatively, switch it o from the emergency panel by following the instructions provided in the dedicated chapter
The equipment will start the shutdown process which involves consuming the residual pellets in the brazier, the latter being cleaned and
the residual heat in the structure being dissipated.
During the residual heat dissipation phase, the fans operate at about 80% of their output and the speed cannot be varied. This is
determined by the need for all the accumulated heat to be evacuated safely and quickly. The shutdown stage can last 15 - 30 minutes
depending on the heat stored in the structure, determined by the duration and the operating speed of the product throughout the day.
When the internal temperature drops below the set thresholds, the fans for hot air and exhaust smoke extraction will automatically
switch o.
