This stove comes with a 7’ to 8’ grounded electrical
cord. This cord should be connected to a standard,
properly polarized, 110volt, 60hz electrical outlet.
The approximate power requirement is 110 volt.
The power supply cord must be routed to avoid
contact with any of the hot or sharp exterior surface
areas of the stove. In addition, all Austroflamm
Visio pellet stoves installed in a mobile home, must
be electrically grounded to the steel chassis of the
home and bolted to the floor in compliance with and
according to H.U.D. requirements. It is
recommended that a good quality surge suppressor
be used in conjunction with your stove.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
READ THESE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
BEFORE INSTALLING OR USING STOVE
The RIKA VISIO freestanding wood pellet stove
must be properly installed in order to prevent
the possibility of a house fire. For your own
safety, you must adhere strictly to the
installation instructions. Contact your local
building officials to obtain a permit and
information on any installation restrictions and
inspection requirement in your area. Failure to
follow these instructions could result in
property damage, bodily injury or even death.
The word “stove”, as used in this manual, means
the Visio Freestanding wood pellet stove.
The stove’s exhaust system works with negative
combustion chamber pressure and a slightly
positive chimney pressure. It’s crucial that the air
intake and exhaust system are air tight and
installed correctly.
WARNING
BURN WOOD PELLET FUEL ONLY! NEVER BURN
ANY OTHER FUEL SUCH AS PAPER, SOLID
WOOD OR CHARCOAL!
When operated properly, the stove cannot be over
heated. However, continuous operation at
maximum burn may shorten the life of the
electrical components and is not recommended.
4
Do not use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel,
kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid or similar liquids to
start or “freshen up” a fire in this stove. Keep
these flammable liquids well away from this stove
when it is in use.
Build-up of dust, soot, or creosote in the chimney
connector and in the exhaust vent can cause a
house fire. Although buildup will be minimal with
correct operation, it is advisable to inspect the
chimney connector and exhaust vent on a regular
basis, and clean if necessary, at least once per
heating season.
NOTE: Disconnect power before performing
any maintenance or cleaning on your stove.
DISPOSAL OF ASHES
Ashes removed from the stove may be hot.
sh
must be placed in a metal container with a tight
fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should
be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the
ground, well away from all combustible
materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes
are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise
locally dispersed, they should be retained in the
closed container until all cinders have been
thoroughly cooled.
