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 (40mm or 50mm 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.

MOUNTING CHARACTERISTICS

The model Elsa has the smoke exit only in the rear (see drawing D13).
On the other hand, in the Paula model, you have the option to connect the exhaust pipe to the stove by its side (lateral
outlet), it will be enough to lightly tap the partly perforated on the side cover and connect the pipe to the extractor using
an elbow of 90º and 80 mm of diameter. Subsequently, connect the rest of the installation (registration T, converter,
straight section, etc).
In every single case, do not forget to follow the safety distances of the stove and the pipe with the walls (see section
"safety distances").

START UP

WARNING!! If your stove has been disconnected from the electrical network long time, it is possible
that when you connect the stove to the net and make the start up the display will show the time 00:00
blinking It means the date and hour are not adjusted and you will must to proceed to their setting. See point 9.3.5 and
10.4.7.3
The ignition of this kind of equipments is automatic, so, please do not put on the burner any kind of material to ignition.
Before the ignition, follow the next verifications:
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.
- 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. In the Paula model, we also recommend that the oven door is closed so that it
can reach temperature more easily.
- In the Paula model, if you do not want to use the oven, it is necessary to remove the tray and grill from the oven, in order to avoid its
deterioration
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.

BAFFLE PLATE POSITIONING

The baffle plate of the stove is placed inside the combustion chamber. For the proper operation of the stove, it has to be placed in the upper
part of the combustion chamber by following the next steps (see drawing D14):
