IMPORTANT
This pellet fire should only be installed by an authorised technician in accordance with:
- Manufacturers installation instruction
- Local electrical regulations building codes

FUEL REQUIREMENTS
Your pellet fire has been designed to burn wood pellets only.
Do not use any other type of fuel as this will void any warranties stated in this manual.
Quality pellet fuel is a natural product manufactured without any binders or additives. The pellets are formed under pressure
from waste sawdust. There are many variables that will affect the composition of the pellet fuel and the specifications.
The performance of your pellet fire is greatly affected by the type and quality of wood pellets being burned.
As the heat output of various quality wood pellets differs, so will the performance and heat output of the pellet fire.
We recommend the use of pellets that meet or exceed these standards.
Please use a recommended pellet type.
Moisture content (as fired basis) ≤12 %
Ash content (as fired basis) ≤1.0%
Net (lower) calorific value (as fired basis) 16900KJ/KG to 20000 KJ/KG
Diameter 6mm
Length ≤40mm
ASH
The ash content of the wood pellets and stove operation will determine the frequency needed for cleaning. When using high ash
content fuels, this may result in frequently having to clean the stove. A low ash fuel may allow longer intervals between cleaning.
CLINKERING
Clinkers are silica (sand) or other impurities in the fuel which form a hard mass during burning. The hard mass blocks air in the
burn pot and affects the performance of the stove. All fuel will result in clinkers, even approved types. Check burn-pot every day
to ensure that holes are not blocked by clinkers. If blocked, remove the pot (when the unit is cold) and clean/scrape the clinkers
with a cleaning tool.
For more details, please refer to the Routine Cleaning and Maintenance section on Pages 14 -15.
PELLET FEED RATES
Due to different densities and sizes of pellets, the feed rate varies. This may require an adjustment to combustion fan for burning
speed and feeding time. Scandia cannot control the quality of pellets you use, therefore will not be held responsible for problems
caused by bad quality wood pellets.
Take care of pellets by keeping them dry and intact, otherwise stove efficiency will be affected and dust will collect on the glass
door. Wood pellets are made from compressed sawdust and scrap wood. Pellets made from hardwoods contain higher ash than
those made from softwoods. Mineral and sand is more easily turned into clinker under extreme burning temperature. Try to burn
various brands of pellets until you find a good one (producing minimum ash and clinkers). If using a pellet with excessive moisture
content, the feeding auger may jam.

WARNING
Only use dry wood pellets that are free of dirt and impurities (such as a high salt content). Dirty fuel
will adversely affect the operation and performance of the stove and may void product warranty.

SEISMIC RESTRAINT OF THE PELLET FIRE
NEW ZEALAND REQUIREMENT
In order to comply with standard AS/NZS2918:2001, it is required that the wood fire and floor protector be secured to prevent
shifting in the event of an earthquake. Anchor the appliance to the floor through the holes in the base (foot) of the appliance.
STEP ONE
Fasten the floor bracket to the bottom rear of the
pellet fire using the bolts provided. Adjust the floor
bracket to the desired height before tightening the
bolts with a spanner or socket wrench.
STEP TWO
Once the floor bracket has been tightly secured to
the heater, consider the exact location of your pellet
fire. Ensure that the location chosen is compliant
with the clearances stated in this manual. Your pellet
fire should also be installed on a non-combustible
surface. Using the appropriate sleeve anchor/bolt,
secure your heater to the ground.
STEP THREE
Ensure that all of the bolts have been tightened
and your pellet fire is secure.

CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES
It is extremely important that you respect required installation distances and that you respect local installation regulations.
The manufacturer is not responsible for the product if it is not installed following these instructions.
A combustible surface is anything that can burn i.e. plaster, wall paper, wood, fabrics etc.
These surfaces are not limited to those that are visible and also include materials that are behind non-combustible materials.

Illustrations and photos reflect typical installations and are for design purposes only.
Illustrations/diagrams are not drawn to scale. Actualproduct may vary from pictures in manual.
1. Set the stove in a place that complies with the heating range.
2. If installing this unit on a combustible floor (eg. linoleum or hardwood floor), a non-combustible hearth pad with a
minimum 730 mm deep x 635 mm wide x 9 mm thick floor protector should be used under and in front of
the appliance. The floor protector should extend 300 mm in front of the appliance door and be placed centrally in
the 635 mm width.
3. Clearance distance from a wall or ceiling must be 50 mm or more.
4. The unit must be grounded. The grounded electrical cord should be connected to a standard electrical outlet, 230V,
50Hz (4.5 Amps). Ensure that electrical cord is clear of the appliance and away from hot surfaces and sharp edges. If
power cord is compromised, a replacement power cord must be purchased from the manufacturer or qualified dealer.

INSTALLATION GUIDE.... continued
The stoves combustion blower pressurises and pushes flue gases out of the pellet pipe, therefore it is important that all pipe joints
should be locked together. If the pipe joints do not have a locking system it is recommended that they are screwed with three
screws and sealed with high temperature silicone. The pipe should be siliconed and fastened with three screws to the stoves flue
collar.
1. Do not place vent pipe exhaust in any enclosed or semi-enclosed areas such as a carport, garage, attic, crawlspace,
narrow walkway, closely fenced area, under a sun deck or porch, or any location that would gather smoke.
2. The surface of vent pipe can reach high temperatures. Do not touch. If necessary, a non-combustible glove or guard
can be used.
4. Locate vent termination at least 600mm away from combustible material such as shrubs, plants, grass, fences,
roof overhangs, and adjacent buildings.

MASONRY CHIMNEY
When venting into a masonry chimney, the pellet pipe must continue through roof line, clear the masonry chimney and be
finished using flashing.
SURGE PROTECTORS
A surge protector is recommended to ensure the stove’s electrical components are not damaged by a surge in the electrical
supply. Only a high quality protector should be used.
THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION
To e n s u re t h a t t h e p e l l e t f i re i s o p e r at i n g at t h e r i g h t te m p e r at u re , a l o w v o l t a g e t h e r m o s t a t h a s b e e n i n s t a l l e d o n t h e h e a t e r.
When locating your sensor, ensure it is placed far from the venting pipe. It is important that the sensor is not influenced by any
hot or cold objects as this will prevent it from detecting an accurate reading of the room temperature. Choose a place in the
room that you believe will detect an even and accurate room temperature.
Please check control board operation on pages 10 - 13.
