Piazzetta P960 - 6 Use; Loading the Pellets

6.0 USE
The pellet stove is a different type of heater. Its operation and maintenance differ from the traditional wood stove. Follow these operating instructions
exactly as stated to ensure safe and reliable operation.
•Do not use the stove as a cooking appliance.
•Ensure that the room in which the stove is installed is sufciently well ventilated (fresh air intake).
•A certain amount of carbon monoxide may be produced within the stove as a by-product of combustion. All exhaust vent connections must be
sealed with RTV silicone to assure a gas tight seal. Any leaks into a conned area caused by faulty installation or improper operation of the stove
could produce dizziness, nausea and in extreme cases, death.
•Check (or have checked) regularly that the ue is clean.
•Under no circumstances use fuels other than pellets.
•Remove any deposits of unused pellets left by failed ignition before restarting the stove.
a Direct contact with the stove while operating may cause skin burns.
a During operation some parts of the stove (door, handle, controls, ceramic parts) can reach high temperatures. Take great care and all
the necessary precautions, especially in the presence of children, the elderly or disabled and pets.
Keep any inammable object well away from the stove while it is in use (MINIMUM 32” - 80 cm) from the front panel.
While in use the door must remain closed and the glass must be present and intact.
The removal of the protective grille inside the pellet hopper is strictly prohibited.
If replenishing with pellets while the stove is lit, ensure that the bag does not come into contact with any hot surfaces.
a Operate this unit only with the fuel hopper lid closed. Failure to do so may result in emission of products of combustion from the
hopper under certain conditions. Maintain hopper seal in good condition.

6.1 LOAdING ThE PELLETS
•When lighting your stove for the rst time, or any time you have run
out of Pellets, you will need to ll the hopper. Pellets are fed from
the hopper to the burn pot by an auger. A high torque motor that is
capable of doing serious harm to ngers drives the auger and for this
reason in Piazzetta pellet stoves a protective grille inside the hopper
is placed.
d Don’t remove the protective grill inside the pellet hopper.
•To load the pellets into the hopper it is advisable to tear off the edge
of the sack and empty the sack directly into the hopper. This makes
lling easier and avoids pouring pellets on top of the stove.
d Do not allow sawdust to accumulate on the bottom of the
hopper.
d Do not leave leftover pellets on top of the stove – they could
catch re!
d Do not overll hopper.
a Maintain hopper seal in good condition.
