PELLETS
Wood pellets are manufactured by hot-extruding compressed sawdust which is produced during the working of natural dried wood. The
compactness of the material is guaranteed by the lignin contained in the wood itself and allows pellets to be produced without glue or
binders.
The market oers dierent types of pellets with characteristics that vary according to the wood mixtures used. The most common
diameter on the market is 6 mm (although 8 mm diameter is available too) with a length, on average, of between 3 and 40 mm. A good
quality pellet has a density of between 600 and 750 or more kg/metres cubed and a water content that accounts for 5 to 8% of its weight.
Pellets have technical advantages besides being an ecological fuel, as the wood residue is used completely, thereby achieving cleaner
combustion than that of fossil fuels.
Good-quality wood has a caloric value of 4.4 kW/kg (15% moisture, after about 18 months of seasoning), whereas that of pellets is 4.9
kW/kg. To ensure good combustion, the pellets must be stored in a dry place and protected from dirt. Pellets are usually supplied in 15 kg
bags, therefore, storing them is very convenient.
Good quality pellets guarantee good combustion, thereby decreasing harmful emissions into the atmosphere.
The poorer the quality of the fuel, the more often the internal parts of the brazier and combustion chamber must
be cleaned.
The main quality certications for pellets currently available on the European market guarantee that the fuel complies with class A1/
A2 according to ISO 17225-2. (formerly EN 14961). These certications include, for example, ENPlus, DINplus, Ö-Norm M7135, and in
particular, guarantee the following characteristics:
• caloric value: 4.6 ÷ 5.3 kWh/kg.
• Moisture content: ≤ 10% of the weight.
• Percentage of ash: max 1.2% of the weight (A1 less than 0.7%).
• Diameter: 6±1/8±1 mm.
• Length: 3÷40 mm.
• Content: 100% untreated wood without the addition of binding substances (max 5% bark).
• Packaging: in sacks made from ecologically compatible or biologically decomposing material.
The company strongly recommends using certied fuel for its products (ENplus, DINplus, Ö-Norm M7135).
Poor quality pellets or others that do not comply with the characteristics specied previously may compromise the
operation of your product and can therefore render the guarantee and product liability invalid.

PRECAUTIONS REGARDING INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT!
Product installation and assembly must be carried out by qualied personnel.
The product must be installed in a suitable place that allows easy access for it to be opened regularly and for routine maintenance to be
performed.
The installation area must be:
• suitable to enable the appliance to operate correctly.
• Equipped with an adequate smoke extraction system.
• Equipped with adequate ventilation from outside.
• Equipped with 230V 50 Hz power supply with an EC compliant earthing system.
IMPORTANT!
The product must be connected to a chimney that expels the smoke at the highest point of the building.
The chimney must be of suitable dimensions, caulked, and tted with a condensation collector for collecting the
water vapour that can form due to the high performance of the appliance and the consequently low temperatures
of the outgoing fumes.
The chimney must comply with regulations in force.
The holes of the external air inlet and the smoke outlet pipe must be drilled before positioning the product.
THE OPERATING AREA
The boiler must be installed indoors in an area well protected from atmospheric elements.
The surface on which it stands and/or support points must have sucient load bearing capacity to support the total weight of the
appliance, its accessories and covers.
To ensure the appliance works well, we recommend installing the boiler detached from any walls or furniture, and with good air circulation
to allow eective ventilation for the appliance. The product should be located in an area that allows sucient space for normal use and
maintenance operations.
The volume of the room should be no less than 15 m3.
It is essential that an adequate outdoor air intake is provided that supplies the air for combustion needed for the product to function
correctly.
These air inlets must be arranged so that it is impossible for them to be obstructed.
Protect the inlets with grilles, metal mesh, etc., without reducing the net cross-section.
Remember that the ventilation grilles always have the useful cross-section in cm2indicated on one side. When
choosing the grille and size of the inlet, check that the useful cross-section of the grille is larger or equal to the
section required for product operation.
The ow of air between the outside and the room of installation may be direct, through an inlet in an external wall of the building; or
indirect, through the intake of air from rooms adjoining and connecting permanently with the room of installation. Adjoining areas may
not include sleeping areas, garages or general areas that present a re hazard.
For air ducts, up to 3m increase the cross-section by approximately 5%, while for ducts that run for longer increase it by 15%.
IMPORTANT!
The air ow can also be drawn from an adjoining room to that of the room where the product is installed, provided
the air can ow freely through permanent openings to the outside; avoid connection to sleeping areas and rooms
that present a re hazard in general.

POSITIONING AND RESTRICTIONS
In the case of simultaneous installation with other heating appliances, provide appropriate air inlets for each one (according to the
instructions of each product).
Installation of the product is not permitted:
• in rooms where there are liquid fuel appliances with continuous or intermittent operation that draw the
combustion air from the room they are installed in;
• in rooms where there are B-type gas heating appliances, with or without domestic hot water production and
interconnecting rooms;
• in rooms in which the decrease in pressure during use, as measured between the pressure outside and the
pressure in the room, is greater than 4 Pa.
The product may not be installed in rooms used as sleeping areas, bathrooms, garages or in rooms that present a
re hazard in general.
BOILER ROOM
Check that the room meets the requirements and provisions of the standards in force. There must also be a ow of at least enough air in
the room for normal combustion.Vents must be installed in the walls of the room that meet the following requirements:
• Increase the cross-section by at least 6 cm2for each 1 kW (859.64kcal/h) The minimum cross-section of the opening must not,
however, measure less than 100 cm. The cross-section can be calculated using the following relations:
S = K * Q ≥ 100 cm2
Where“S”is in cm2,“Q”in kW,“K”= 6 cm2/kW
• The opening must be located at the base of an external wall, preferably opposite the one with the outlet for combusted gases.
Heat-sensitive or ammable objects cannot be stored near the product; keep such objects at a minimum distance of
80 cm from the outermost point of the product.
CONNECTION OF THE SMOKE EXHAUST DUCT
When making the hole for the passage of the smoke discharge pipe, it is necessary to take into account the possible presence of ammable
materials. If the hole has to be in a wall made of wood or other thermolabile material, THE INSTALLER MUST rst set up the relative wall
tting (diameter 13 cm minimum) and insulate the pipe of the product passes with appropriate insulating material (1.3 - 5 cm thick with
minimum heat conductivity of 0.07 W/m°K).
The same minimum distance must be applied if the pipe of the product must pass through vertical or horizontal sections near the
thermolabile wall.
It is recommended to use an insulated double-wall pipe in external sections in order to prevent condensation from forming.
The combustion chamber works in negative pressure.

FOREWORD
This chapter on the Smoke Flue has been produced in reference to the prescriptions of European regulations (EN13384 - EN1443 - EN1856
- EN1457).
The chapter provides indications for installing an ecient and correct smoke ue but is under no circumstances to substitute the
regulations in force, which the qualied technician must be in possession of. Check with local authorities whether there are any restrictive
regulations in force regarding the intake of air for combustion, the smoke extraction system, the ue or the chimney.
The company declines all liability relating to the poor functioning of the boiler if this is due to the use of an insuciently sized ue in
violation of regulations in force.
SMOKE FLUE
Have the eciency of the ue checked by an authorised technician.
Theue or chimneyis vital tothe correct functioning ofa forceddraft solid fuelheating appliance,giventhat boilers withhigh performance
have cooler fumes with consequently weaker draft and the possible formation of condensation.
It is therefore essential that the ue meets all construction standards and is always maintained in perfect condition.
A ue that serves a pellet/wood fuelled appliance must be at least category T400 (or greater if the appliance requires, and resistant to soot
res. Smoke must be extracted through a single ue made of insulated steel (A) or an existing ue that complies with the intended use (B).
A simple air shaft in cement must be suitably lined. In either case, ensure to include an inspection cap (AT) or inspection door (AP) and a
suitable device for collecting condensation - FIG.1.
It is prohibited to connect more than one wood/pellet or any other type of appliance (vent cowling...) to the same ue.

DIMENSIONING
The drop in pressure (draft) of a ue depends on its height. Check the drop in pressure with the values indicated in the technical
characteristics.The minimum height of the chimney is 3.5 meters.
The interior cross-section of the ue can be circular (best variation), square or rectangular (the ratio between the interior sides must be
≤1.5) with the sides joined with a minimum radius of 20 mm. The dimension of the cross-section must be a minimum Ø150mm.
The cross-sections/lengths of the chimneys shown in the technical data tables are indications for correct installation. Any alternative
congurations must be correctly dimensioned in accordance with the general method of calculation of UNI EN13384-1 or other proven
eciency methods.
Below is a list of some ues available on the market:
Steel chimney AISI 316 with
double chamber insulated with
ceramic bre or equivalent
resistant up to 400°C.
Refractory chimney with
double insulated chamber and
external lightweight concrete
cladding with cellular material
such as clay.
Traditional square-section clay
chimney with insulating empty
inserts.
Avoid products with an internal
rectangular section where the
larger side is 1.5 times the
smaller side (e.g. 20x40 or
15x30).

MAINTENANCE
The ue must be kept clean, since the deposit of soot or unburned oils reduces the cross-section reducing the draft and thus compromising
the ecient functioning of the heater and, if large build-ups accumulate, can catch re. The ue and chimney must be cleaned and
checked by a skilled chimney sweep at least once a year. Once the check/maintenance has been performed, request a signed report stating
that the system is safe.
Failure to clean the system jeopardises its safety.
CHIMNEY
The chimney is a crucial element for the heating appliance to work properly: we recommend a wind proof chimney (A), see Figure 7.
The area of the opening for smoke extraction must be at least double the cross-section of the smoke duct/ue system, and arranged so
that smoke extraction is ensured even
in strong wind. The chimney must
prevent rain, snow or animals from
entering the chimney. The height of
outow into the atmosphere must be
beyond the reux zone created by the
shape of the roof or any obstacles near
the outlet (see Figures 2-3-4-5-6).

CONNECTION TO FLUE
The connection between the ue and the appliance must be via a smoke duct that conforms with EN 1856-2. The connecting section
must extend no more than 4 m horizontally, with a maximum incline of 3% and containing a maximum of 3 90% bends (accessible for
inspection - do not count the T joint at the appliance outlet).
The diameter of the smoke duct must be equal to or greater than that of the outlet of the appliance (Ø 100 mm).

Use smoke ducts with a diameter 100 mm and silicone gaskets or similar gaskets that can withstand the high operating temperatures of
the appliance (min. T200 class P1). The use of exible metal tubes in bre cement or aluminium is prohibited. For direction
changes, we always recommend the use of a T joint with an inspection cap allowing easy access for cleaning the tubes. Always
ensure that the inspection cap is replaced and hermetically sealed with the seal in tact after cleaning.
It is prohibited to connect more than one appliance to the same smoke duct, or the discharge from overhead cowling. It is prohibited to
extract the products of combustion directly through the wall, whether into indoor spaces or outdoors.
The smoke duct must be a minimum distance of 400 mm from ammable or heat-sensitive structures.
We especially recommend to check the data tags of the ue for the safety distances that must be observed in presence of
combustible materials and the type of insulating material to be used. These indications must be followed rigorously to
avoid serious harm to personnel and surrounding infrastructure.

EXAMPLES OF CORRECT INSTALLATION
1.Installation of Ø 150 mm ue with hole for the passage
of the pipe increased by:
minimum 100 mm around the tube if next to non
ammable parts such as cement, brick, etc.; or
minimum 300 mm around the tube (or as prescribed by
data tags) if next to ammable parts such as wood etc.
In both cases, install suitable insulation between the ue
and the ceiling.
Always check and respect the data tags on the ue,
in particular the minimum safety distances from
combustible materials.
The previous rules also apply for holes made in walls.
2. Old ue, minimum tube Ø150mm with the inclusion
of an external access door for chimney cleaning.
3. External ue made of insulated stainless steel tubes,
i.e. with double walls minimum Ø150mm: all securely
mounted to the wall. With wind-proof chimney. See g.
7 type A.
4. Ducting system using T joints that allow easy access
for cleaning without having to remove the tubes
