PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

The stove produces hot air using wood pellets as fuel,
with electronically controlled combustion. Hereunder is the
explanation of its functions (the letters refer to ! gure 1).
The fuel (pellets) is taken from the hopper (A) and, using a
screw (B) operated by a gear motor (C), is sent to the crucible
(D).
The pellets are lit by hot air produced by an electrical element
(E) sucked into the crucible through a smoke extractor fan (F).
The smoke produced by combustion is extracted from the
combustion chamber by the same fan (F) and expelled from the
vent (G) located on the lower part at the back of the stove.
The DIDA/DIDA PLUS stove is designed to distribute
the hot air produced only in the room where it is installed.
In order to channel the hot air into other rooms of the house, it
is necessary to employ the following optional kits (more details
on page 26).
- DIDA TO DIDA PLUS CONVERSION KIT consisting of
fan, Ø10 pipe and accessories.
- DUCTING KIT No. 11 for distributing hot air also to an
adjacent room
- DUCTING KIT No. 11B for distributing hot air also to a
remote room.
The combustion chamber, lined with steel/cast iron, is closed at
the front by a ceramic glass door (special "cold-hand" handle
to open the door).
The quantity of fuel, the extraction of the smoke and the input
of air for combustion are regulated by a motherboard equipped
with software, to obtain a high combustion yield and low
emissions.
The main phases can be controlled via the optionally supplied
remote control.
The stove has a serial socket for optional wire connection (code
640560) to remote controlled ignition devices (chrono-thermo-
stats etc.).
The ceramic outer casing is available in two colour variants:
white and bordeaux

SAFETY INFORMATION

The stove is designed to heat, through automatic pellet com-
bustion in the hearth, the room where it is installed, both by
radiation and the air that comes out of the front grille (I).
• The appliance is not designed to be used by people, including
children, with reduced physical, sensorial or mental abilities.
Children must be supervised to ensure they do not play with
the appliance.
• The main risks that may derive from using the stove pertain
to non-compliance with installation instructions, direct contact
with live electrical parts (internal), contact with the fi re or hot
parts (glass, pipes, hot air output), when extraneous substances
or non-recommended fuel are introduced, or due to incorrect
maintenance or by repeatedly pressing the ignition button wi-
thout having emptied the crucible.
• Only use certifi ed, high quality, 6 mm diameter wooden
pellets for fuel.
• Should components fail, the stoves are equipped with safety
devices that guarantee automatic shutdown. These are activated
without any intervention required.
• In order to function correctly, the stove must be installed in
accordance with the instructions given herein and the door
must not be opened during operation: combustion is fully
automatic and requires no intervention.
• Under no circumstances should any foreign substances be
entered into the hearth or hopper.
• Do not use fl ammable products to clean the smoke channel
(the fl ue section connecting the stove smoke outlet to the
chimney fl ue).
• The hearth and hopper parts must only be cleaned when
COLD.
• The glass can be cleaned when COLD with a suitable product
(e.g. GlassKamin Edilkamin) and a cloth.
• Avoid opening the door of the combustion chamber when the
stove is hot; wait until it has cooled down naturally.
• The stove must not function if the door is open, if the glass is
broken or if the pellet-loading port is open.
• It must not be used as a step ladder or a base on which to rest
any object.
• Do not lay laundry directly on the stove to dry. Any clothes
horse or similar must be placed at a safe distance from the
stove (danger of fi re).
• Make sure the stove is installed and ignited the fi rst time by
Edilkamin-qualifi ed CAT personnel (technical assistance centre)
in accordance with the instructions provided here within; this is
A
an essential requirement for the validation of the guarantee.
• When the stove is in operation, the exhaust pipes and door
become very hot (do not touch without wearing the thermal
B
glove).
• Do not place anything, which is not heat resistant near the
E
stove.
C
• NEVER use liquid fuel to ignite the stove or rekindle the embers.
• Do not obstruct the ventilation apertures in the room where
the stove is installed, nor the air inlets of the stove itself.
• Do not wet the stove and do not go near electrical parts
F
with wet hands.
• Do not use reducers on the smoke exhaust pipes.
G
• The stove must be installed in a room that is suitable for fi re
H
prevention and equipped with all that is required (power and air
supply and outlets) for the stove to function correctly and safely.
• SHOULD IGNITION FAIL, DO NOT RE-IGNITE UNTIL
YOU HAVE EMPTIED THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER.
