MCZ emphatically recommends using certified fuel
in its stoves.
The use of fuel of inferior quality or not conforming
to the specification given above compromises the
running of your stove and can therefore lead to the
termination of the guarantee and of the
manufacturer's responsibility for the product.
MCZ pellet stoves operate exclusively with pellets
with a diameter of 6 mm (only for Italy) and 6-8mm
(European countries) with a length between 5mm
and 30mm.
2.2. PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
The pellets are picked up from the hopper on board the stove and
transported by a feed screw. They are then introduced into the
combustion chamber and fall directly into the stainless steel grate.
The quantity of pellets introduced into the grate and the corresponding
air of combustion are predetermined, programmed and controlled by an
electronic board.
In the lighting phase, the electronic board activates the smoke
extraction fan and the ceramic sparkplug, which heats up and causes
the fuel to ignite at a temperature of about 200°C. After about 20
minutes, the lighting phase is complete, and the control unit puts the
stove into operating mode.
In this phase, on the basis of the instructions which we provide via the
infrared remote (5 power levels), the electronic board regulates the
exact relationship between quantity of fuel, combustion air and
convection air, and provides continuous monitoring of all the
components connected to it, indicating if necessary the presence of any
operating problems and stopping the process.
