17. SAFELY CONNECT/OPERATE THE STOVE
The stove is connected to the power supply system through a cable provided by the manufacturer. The technician is responsible for its
correct and safe connection to the power system. Please check that:
The system supports the stove’s maximum power voltage, specified in the identification (figure1) on the back of the device.
The output voltage is between the values described in Table 4.
There is an earthed wall socket just behind the stove, compliant with current regulations.
The stove cable is not dragging on the floor causing potential hazards to users.
The cable is not folded or pressed.
Once the stove has been installed, make the power cable and socket easy to reach by adults.
Do not add extension cords to the stove power cable; in case you need extension cords immediately contact your FONTANA
FORNI SRL. Service Retailer.
Periodically check that the cable has not been damaged.
Never plug the stove power cable to the power supply system by using power strips or multiple sockets.
Never touch the cable with damp or wet hands.
Keep the children away from the stove.
FONTANA FORNI SRL declines any responsibility for damages caused by the failure to meet the above mentioned requirements.
18. EXTERNAL AIR INTAKE AND CONNECTION TO THE FLUE
Any connection between the stove and the flue must be protected for your children's safety. For your own safety and comfort, please
make sure that the room has a suitable air scoop (UNI10683). For the good functioning of the stove, leave adequate clearance and air for
the pellets to burn.To add an external air scoop make a hole on the external wall, close to the stove. It must have a free section of at least
50 cm² and be protected by an internal and external grid. The air scoop must also:
- Communicate directly with the room in which the stove has been installed.
- Be correctly positioned, so that it cannot be blocked from the inside or the outside.
Do not connect the stove to flues that have already been used for other heating devices. Open the hole for the fume exhaustion pipe far
from inflammable materials. Before opening the hole in a wooden or thermolabile wall, the technician must use appropriate wall fitting
and adequately caulk the stove pipe crossing it, using the insulating materials required by current regulations (Figure 6 Position 1). The
same happens if the stove pipe is laid vertically or horizontally, near the thermolabile wall (Figure 6 Position 2).
Alternatively, we suggest you use industrial insulated pipes. These can be used on the outside without causing condensation problems.
WARNING
Always use pipes and connections with appropriate close-fitting gaskets. All the sections of a flue must be easily controlled
and removed for periodic internal cleaning.
WARNING
Each 90° bend in the fume exhaustion pipe must be fixed, if possible, with adequate "T" fittings.
WARNING
Inserting a grating at the end of the fume exhaustion pipe is forbidden.It could cause the stove to break down.
