3.0 FUEL
DT2010233-00
During operation, some parts of the stove (door, handle, display,
ceramic parts) can reach high temperatures. Therefore take due
pr
ecautions, above all in the pr
esence of childr
en, elderly and dis
-
abled persons and pets.
In or
der to avoid accidents or damage to the pr
oduct, the following
recommendations are made:
• Unpacking and installation must be carried out by at least two
people.
• Every operation involving movement of the product must be car-
ried out with the proper tools in full compliance with cur
r
ent safe
-
ty regulations.
• The orientation of the packaged product must conform to the
directions given in the diagrams and notices on the package.
•
If cables, straps or chains ar
e used, ensur
e that they ar
e able to
take the weight of the package and that they are in good condi-
tion.
• While moving the package use slow continuous movements to
avoid tearing cables, chains etc.
• To avoid toppling do not lean the package excessively.
• Do not stop in the path of loading/unloading equipment (cradles,
cranes etc).
4.0 BEFORE UNPACKING YOUR PRODUCT
DT2010074-00
T
he pellet stove has been designed to burn only wood in pellet form.
The wood pellet is obtained by pressing wood sawdust left over from the
w
orking of natural dried wood. The typical small, cylindrical form is obtained
by a process similar to wire-drawing. Thanks to lignin, a natural element
which is released during the pressing of the raw material, the pellets acquire
a good consistency and compactness without requiring treatment with addi-
t
ives or caking agents.
T
here are various types of pellet on the market with qualities and char-
acteristics which vary depending on the processes they have under-
gone and the type of wood used in their production.
Since the pellet’s characteristics and quality affect to a consider-
ably degree the stove’s performance, productivity and proper
functioning we recommend that you USE high-quality pellets.
Gruppo Piazzetta S.p.A has tested and programmed its stoves and
can promise optimum performance and trouble-free functioning
using pellets with these specific characteristics:
• Material: wood
• Length: not greater than 30mm
• Diameter: 6-6.5mm
• Inferior heat energy: 5kWh/kg
• Humidity: not greater than 8%
• Residual ash: 0.34%
To assure trouble-free operation:
DO NOT use pellets with dimensions different to those stipulated by the
manufacturer.
DO NOT use pellets which are out of date or which contain loose saw-
dust, resins, chemical substances, additives or caking agents.
DO NOT use damp pellets.
C
hoosing pellets different to those stipulated:
- obstructs the burner and flue ducts
-
increases fuel consumption
- reduces efficiency
- cannot guarantee the stove’s proper functioning
- causes dirt to build up on the glass
-
leaves particles which have failed to burn and heavy cinders.
T
he presence of dampness in the pellets increases their volume and
causes them to split which in turn causes:
- malfunction of the fuel-loading system
- inefficient combustion.
Pellets should be stored in a sealed, dry place.
If you wish to use good-quality pellets with different dimensions and heat-
producing properties to those stipulated you will need to alter the operating
parameters of the stove. This “customisation” of the stove’s settings must
be carried out at one of Gruppo Piazzetta S.p.A.’s Centres for Technical
Assistance or by specially qualified personnel authorised by Gruppo
Piazzetta S.p.A.
Using out of date pellets or those which do not conform to the
manufacturer’s stipulations damages the stove and compro-
mises performance as well as can nullifying the guarantee
and excusing the manufacturer from his responsibilities.
