MCZ Antares '03 - Manual (Page 25)

Use of the stove
3.1 Checks to make before lighting the stove
Check that all the safety conditions described
above have been met.
Make sure you have read and completely
understood the contents of this instruction booklet.
Remove from the pellet hopper the cardboard box
containing the general instructions, and any
materials which could burn (various instructions
and stickers).
Check that the central ash-drawer (A) on the Astra-
Vega-Aurora, or the two ash-drawers on the
Antares, is/are correctly positioned and properly
closed.
Check that the grate (B) and its flame shield are
correctly positioned.
Check that the perforated upper deflector (C),
inside the combustion chamber, is positioned
correctly (fig. 16).
After long periods of disuse, remove from the
hopper (using a vacuum cleaner with an
extension)
any remains of pellets which
have lain there for some time, since they may
have absorbed moisture, which changes their
original characteristics and makes them
unsuitable for burning.
Check that the electrical connection is correct
(230 V 50 Hz), and turn on the main switch
located on the rear panel of the stove.
Check that on the control panel the display is
lit up with the alternating message OFF /
CURRENT TIME.
The pellets are loaded through the top of the
stove, by opening the cover. Pour the pellets
into the hopper, up to a maximum of 34 kg
(more than two bags). ( 2 bags for the
Antares and about 23 kg, which is well over 1
bag, for the Vega-Astra-Aurora). See fig. 17.
Do not remove the protective grille from
inside the hopper. When loading pellets,
avoid the bag coming into contact with
hot surfaces.
