4. Four your safety, we recommend that you should:
•Make sure you fully read and understand this instruction manual before using the
pellets stove as a biomass heating unit.
•This appliance is NOT intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the appliance
•DO NOT TOUCH the stove when barefoot or if any part of your body is wet or humid;
•Do NOT tamper with safety or adjustment features without the manufacturer's
authorization;
• It is essential to place an air inlet grille near the equipment to be held correct
combustion; and quite important that air intake grilles must be positioned so that they
are not susceptible to blockage
•Do NOT cover, blockage or reduce the size of the air inlet grilles in the area where
the equipment is installed.
•The pellets stove installation has clearance requirements for proper combustion.

8. Installing the air intake duct
The tube should be connected to existing combustion air and equipment must have a
minimum bore diameter of 50 mm.
If you are using a pipe as the combustion air inlet from the outside, it CANNOT BE
LONGER THAN 60 cm horizontally or show any OBSTRUCTIONS (such as bends);
Figure 3 - Air inlet pipe
•In pellet stove EVEREST, the maximum allowed for an air inlet pipe for combustion
from outside, is 100 cm long, with a minimum diameter of 50 mm and undisturbed
(elbows 90°).
Figure 4 - Everest intake tube

10
•If you do not opt for a chimney with smoke outlet coaxial (see section 9.5 of this
manual) the air inlet must be protected by a grid made in anti-insect mesh or similar
product, provided that they do not reduce the air intake section.
•In the case of pellet stove Everest, being a stove, does not consume oxygen from
inside the housing, collecting this outdoor environment; when connected to the air
intake tube to the outside, this stove may be placed in insulated houses, the so-called
passive houses.
Important note: the tubes or couplings to be used should contain elements of fence
to ensure a good seal.
9. Installing the smoke ducts in a pellet stove
Before starting the installation, perform the following actions:
•Remove the instruction manual from the package, read it carefully and upon
completing the installation procedure hand it over to the client.
•Check the product for completeness and to determine that it does not show any
signs of damage. Any damages or defects should be checked before the equipment is
installed.
•This pellets stove is equipped with four adjustable height feet at the base, allowing
for easy regulation when installing the equipment on a non-levelled surface.
Figure 5 - Adjusting the free-standing pellet fire unit
•Connect an 80 mm in diameter between the outlet of the combustion gases and a
smoke exhaust duct to the exterior of the building (e.g., chimney) – check schemas in
the point 9 of this manual.

11
•The face of the device that contains the output of main hot air will have to be geared
to the space to be warm.
•The machine has a chrono-thermostat on the display. Optionally a conventional
external programmer (not included) can be used to automatically set the operating
periods of the device.
•Important note: the tubes or couplings to be used should contain elements of fence
to ensure a good seal.
9.1. Installation requirements
The minimum distances from the pellet stove to particularly flammable surfaces are
shown in Figure 6, Figure 7 and Figure 8.
Figure 6 - Minimum distances from all surfaces Nevada

12
•The base where welcomes the stove cannot be in combustible material (e.g.,
carpet), so there must be always adequate protection and must also be strong enough
to support the equipment.
Figure 7 - Minimum distances from all surfaces Everest
At the top of the stove is necessary to keep a minimum distance of 100 cm from the
ceiling of the room, especially if they contain flammable material in their composition.

13
WARNING!
If the stove is installed in a location with flammable objects such as curtains, sofas and
other furniture, safety distances must be increased so that the radiation heat does not
cause inflammation.
Figure 8 - Minimum distances of an indoor fireplace on a wall
Keep combustible and flammable materials at a safe distance.
9.2. Precautions on installation of smoke exhaust ducts
•The mounting of the exhaust gas pipe must be suitable for the purpose in
accordance with local requirements and respecting the regulations in force.
•When installing the chimney tube if you have need for a hole in a wall or ceiling
housing, you have to keep in mind the material in which they are built. If the material
of construction is sensitive to heat (e.g., wood) should perform a hole and put a special
Minimum 5 cm heat-resistant wall

14
Union of wall with a minimum of 13 cm internal diameter, then isolate the flue tube of
the machine with a suitable insulating material. (For example, 1,35 thickness with a
thermal conductivity of 0,07 W/m° K).
•If installing the flue is next to a wall (less than 20 cm) where the condition
previously laid down the pipe must be isolated.
•We recommend as an alternative to the use of insulated pipe insulation that should
be used overseas to avoid condensation.
Figure 9 - Minimum distances from a chimney to a heat-sensitive wall
• IMPORTANT! In the installation of a flue pipe in the stove pellets, put the
output of the machine, a T-inspection with hermetic lid to allow regular inspection or
disposal of heavy dust and condensate.
•As shown in Figure 10, the exhaust pipe must be held so that cleaning and
maintenance to be provided by the insertion of inspection points.
Minimum 20 cm heat-resistant wall

15
Figure 10 - Installation example for a T connection for inspection
•Under normal operating conditions, the combustion gas flow should create a
pressure of -12 Pa, at one meter above the chimney neck.
•The stove must not share the chimney with other appliances.
•Any pipes installed outside the operating area must have double stainless-steel
insulation and an internal diameter of 80 mm.
•The fume exhaust pipe may generate condensation, so we recommend that the
appropriate systems for collecting condensates are installed.
