vary in relation to the type and quality of pellets
used.
The pellet stove requires pellets with the following
characteristics:
diameter ~ 6 mm;
max. length 30 mm;
max. moisture content 6 - 9%.
The stove has a pellet hopper with the capacity
Booklet enclosed.
The pellet hopper is located at the top of the stove.
It must always be able to be opened to load the
pellets, and must remain closed during operation.
The stove must not be used as a rubbish incinerator.

not too cold.
It's suggested to keep some sacks of pellets in
the same room where the stove is installed or an
adjacent room, as long as the temperature and
humidity are acceptable.
Damp and/or cold pellets (5°C) reduce the fuel
heat value and mean the burn pot (unburned
frequently.
Pay special care when storing and handling the
sacks of pellets. Make sure these are not crushed
to prevent the pellets from becoming sawdust.
Sawdust introduced into the hopper may block the
pellet feed system.
Use of poor quality pellets may affect normal pellet
stove operation and render the warranty void.
The features of the pellets must comply with
the requirements of EN 14961-2.

IMPORTANT: continuous and extended use of
wood with a considerable aromatic oil content
(e.g. eucalyptus, myrtle, etc.) will cause a sudden
deterioration in the internal components making up
the product.
Rated heat output in kW can be achieved by burn-
ing the correct quantity of wood, making sure not
to overload the combustion chamber.
The maximum moisture content allowed is
20%.
Use average-sized pieces of split wood, ideally
30 cm long. The wood must be placed in the

3.2.1 Storing the wood
Keep the logs of wood in a dry place.
It's suggested to keep some logs in the room where
the stove is installed or an adjacent room, as long
as the temperature and humidity are acceptable.
Moist logs reduce the fuel's heat value and mean
more frequent maintenance and cleaning of the
