7.3. Silencing alarms

If an alarm is triggered, follow the procedure described below to

restore normal stove operation:

 Position selector D on the emergency panel (located on the

back of the stove) to OFF for a few seconds until the 3-digit

code identifying the type of alarm disappears. The following

operation also cancels the flashing red LED and the acoustic

alarm signal.

 Return selector D to the REMOTE position to regain

management of the stove operation via the remote control.

 Switch the remote control off and switch it back on again if you

wish to restart the stove.

The stove remains on and operating normally

according to the last mode set only if fault A12

intervened (communication failure between the

remote control and the stove). The stove

automatically exits the alarm mode the first time it

receives a signal from the remote control.

7.3.1. Mechanical seizure of the stove

Mechanical seizure of the stove can be caused by:

Overheating of the stove structure (“A03”)

Overheating of the smoke (“A04”)

While the stove is operating an uncontrolled intake of air or

obstruction in the flue pipe is detected (“A05”)

The seizure is indicated on the display and accompanied by an acoustic

beep.
In this situation the shut down phase is automatically activated.
When this procedure is activated all testing operations to restore the

system will be ineffective. The cause of the seizure is indicated on the

display.

WHAT TO DO:

If the word “A03” appears the stove structure is too hot because the

appliance has operated for too long at maximum power or because it is

poorly ventilated or because the air fans are faulty. When the stove is

cold enough, press button B on the control panel or OFF on the remote

control to cancel alarm A03. Once the alarm has been cancelled, the

stove can be restarted as normal

.

If the word “A04” appears the stove automatically shuts down. Leave

the stove to cool down for a few minutes and then restart it.

Check the smoke outlet and the type of pellet used.

If the word “A05” appears the fire door has been open for a long time

or there is some air infiltration (e.g. the smoke blower inspection cap is

missing). If the seizure is not caused by these factors check the smoke

duct and flue pipe and clean them if necessary. (note that this

operation is carried out by a specialised MCZ technician)
Only once the cause of the shutdown has been permanently

remedied can the stove be restarted.
