The chimney cowl must comply with the following requirements:
•
It must have the same interior section of the chimney.
•
It must have a usable exit section that is two times the one of the interior of the chimney.
•
It must be constructed so that the rain, snow or any other objet do not enter inside.
•
It must be easily accessible in order to do servicing and cleaning tasks.

OUTSIDE AIR INTAKE
For the proper operation of the stove, it is essential that there is enough air for the combustion and re/oxygenation of the environment where
it is installed. This means that the air must be able to move for the combustion through some openings connected to the exterior, even when
doors and windows are closed.
It must be placed in so that it cannot be obstructed. It must be connected to the environment where the equipment is installed and it must be
protected by a grate. The minimum area of the outlet should not be less than 100 cm2.
When the air flow comes through openings that are connected to the exterior of adjacent environments, it is important to avoid air intakes in
connection with garages, kitchens, toilets, etc.
The stove is provided with a necessary air intake for the combustion on the back side (40 mm diameter). It is important this intake is not
blocked and to respect the recommended distances to the wall or near items.
It is recommended the primary air intake connection of the stove with the outside although it is not obligatory. The connection tube material
can be made in any material (PVC, aluminium, polyethylene, etc.), not necessarily metallic. Consider that inside this duct is going to pass air
at the outside temperature.

STARTUP
The ignition of this kind of equipments is automatic, so, please do not put on the burner any kind of material to ignition.
It is forbidden to use liquid substances such as alcohol, gasoline, petroleum or similar products. The use of this substance
leads the loss of warranty.
Before the ignition, follow the next verifications:
-
The electrical cable must be connected to the electrical network (230 Vac) with a socket equipped with earthing system.
-
The bipolar switch, placed on the rear side of the stove, must be in position I.
-
The pellet tank must be supplied.
-
The combustion chamber must be clean.
-
The burner must be clean and properly placed.
-
The combustion chamber door must be closed correctly.
During the first ignition could happen that the stove has finished the ignition cycle and there is no flame. In this case the stove automatically
starts an alarm state. This happens because the fuel feeder is empty and needs a moment to fill in. To solve this problem start again the stove
(taking into account the previous considerations) until the flame appears.
The stove, at the beginning, must be subject to different start-up cycles so that all materials and the paint can complete different elastic
expansions.
At the beginning, it is possible that you note smoke or smell which are typically produced when metals are subject to high temperatures or
when the paint is still fresh. This paint is boiled at 80º C for a few minutes when construction, but it must exceed for a time the temperature of
200 ºC before the adhesion to the metallic surfaces.
Therefore, it is important to adopt these measures during
the ignition phase:
1.
Assure that there is a good air refill in the place
where the equipment is installed.
2.
During the firsts ignitions, keep a low power
work and the oven lit during at least 6-10 hours
continuously.
3.
Repeat this operation at least 4-5 times or more,
depending on the needs.
4.
During the first ignitions, you should not place
any object on the equipment and, in particular, on
lacquered surfaces. Lacquered surfaces should not
be touched while the equipment is heated.

PLACEMENT BAFFLE-PLATE
Inside the fuel tank you will find the stove baffle-plate.
In order to achieve the proper operation of the stove
this piece must be placed on the top of the combustion
chamber, following the next steps (see drawing D10):
