Use of the stove
3.11 Lighting the stove using the
control panel or the remote
To start the stove, press Key 5 for several seconds.
After a few moments, the stove goes into a state of adjustment and then, when the message
“Charge pellet”
appears, the stage of loading pellets and lighting starts. This stage will last for 15
minutes on average.
If during this phase the flame does not appear and hence the ignition procedure is not completed,
the display (8) shows the message "No ignition alarm". In this case shut down the stove by
pressing the push button (5). The display (8) will show the message “Off / current time”.
Remove any pellets from the burner and repeat ignition by pressing push button (5) for a few
seconds.
If the lighting stage is carried out correctly, after about 10 minutes the message "Fire regulate"
appears on the display (8), which is characteristic of the phase in which combustion is being
established and regularised.
At the end of this phase, the stove goes into normal working mode and shows on the
display (8) the ambient temperature and the reference power level "On 3", while the LED
(10) indicates the operating mode MANUAL.
This base criterion (medium power level, On 3 and manual operation), has been selected to give
the user the opportunity to optimise heating and also check fuel consumption. Remember that for
correct use of the stove in manual mode, the programmer or timer must be out of circuit (LED 7
must be off).
At this point the user, if so desired, can select a different power program among the five stored in
memory, by means of Keys 3 and 4.
Pressing Key 3 increases the heating power and consequently the fuel consumption.
Pressing Key 4 has the opposite effect.
Every change in the power level is accompanied by an audible 'beep'.
When the power setting is altered, the hot air ventilation automatically alters as well.
It is advisable to inspect the contents of the hopper from time to time, to avoid the fire going out
for lack of fuel.
ATTENTION !
If, while the stove is running, conditions occur which modify the the normal state of
operation, the general alarm LED (6) lights up, accompanied by an audible 'beep' (see the
paragraph on "Lockout of the stove"), and the stove reacts by starting the process
of complete shutdown.
In the event of an electrical power-cut, the stove goes through a cooling-down
stage and later automatically relights itself.
Note:
The phrase 'subsequent lightings' is intended to refer to lightings in which the feed screw is full of
pellets. In these cases, the burner must be cleaned of the residues of previous combustion every
time the stove is relit.
….Lighting and shutdown are
performed by the user
