3 ­ GENERAL DESCRIPTION
3.1 OPERATING TECHNOLOGY Your appliance has been built to fully satisfy all your heating and practical requirements. Top-grade components and functions managed with microprocessor technology guarantee high reliability and optimal performance. 3.2 THE PELLET The appliance is fuelled by pellets, that is, cylinders of compressed sawdust; it his allows you to fully enjoy the heat of the flame without having to manually stoke the combustion. The pellets have a 6 mm diameter and a length between 10 e 20 mm. They have a max moisture content of 8%; a thermal value of 4000/4500 Kcal/kg and density of 630-640 kg/m³. It must be approved according to UNI EN 14961-2 A1 A2. It is strictly forbidden to use any pellet type other than that specified above. The use of fuel that does not comply with the above specifications not only immediately invalidates the warranty for the appliance but can also create dangerous situations. Do not use the appliance as an incinerator, at the risk of voiding the warranty. 3.3 PELLET REFUELLING When the pellet tank is about to run out, the appliance can warn the user to refill with pellets, by displaying the following symbol on the screen, which will flash at regular intervals:
This symbol disappears automatically within a short time after the hopper has been filled. The warning must be regarded as purely indicative, and it is not certain that its appearance actually indicates that the hopper should be filled. The reliability of this warning, linked to the evolution of combustion and the different lengths and sizes of pellets, is closely linked to the stability of operation in terms of power and ventilation. Frequent variations in power and/or ventilation can alter this warning. It must therefore be interpreted with a wide operational tolerance, and can under no circumstances be used as grounds for contesting the actual heating function that the stove is intended to fulfil.
The feedbox is situated in the top part of the appliance. The load capacity specified in the technical data can vary according to the specific weight of the pellets. The pellet can be reloaded as follows:
Page 9

Installation, use and maintenance guide ESPRIT 490 ­ 540 ­ 600
If you purchase the Fixed quick kit (Optional), the pellet is recharged through the loading hatch provided.

ENG

ATTENTION: In case of installation of the Fixed quick kit: – The pellet can anyway be fed via the drawer (in the models that
feature it). – When filling up the tank, take care not to drop any pellets into the
internal parts of the appliance as, in extreme cases, this could generate live flames.
In case of a model equipped with a feed drawer, pellets can be fed via the drawer.

ATTENTION: If feeding via the drawer: – To extract the drawer, open the glass door using the handle provided as standard (see image above). – Extract the rod by pulling the knob outwards and using the handle provided as standard (see image above). – Feed the pellet and close the drawer. After feeding the pellet, pay particular attention that no pellets or sawdust remains in the closed drawer as this may lead to open flames in extreme cases. – It will anyway be possible to feed the pellet via the Fixed quick kit (Optional).
When filling up the tank, take care not to drop any pellets into the internal parts of the appliance, as, in extreme cases, this could generate live flames.
If no loading compartment is foreseen in the structure, the pellet can be recharged by extracting the device.
In this case, the following procedure must be respected: 1) Turn off the insert through the control panel. 2) Wait until the OFF-phase ends and the insert is completely cooled off. 3) Disconnect power through the bipolar switch installed upstream from the appliance. 4) Deactivate the anti- extraction block. 5) Proceed with pellet refuelling.

Take special care when loading the tank as the screw feeder at its base is in motion. Take care when topping up with fuel as the loading area can get very hot. ATTENTION: it is normal to find some pellets remaining in the tank even if the stove shuts off because the pellets have run out.

Attention: when filling up the tank, take care not to drop any pellets into the internal parts of the appliance, as, in extreme cases, this could generate live flames. The manufacturer recommends emptying the tank and vacuuming the screw feeder zone once a month and during the summer period. If the screw feeder can be seen when loading the pellet in the tank (pellet almost exhausted in the tank), the appliance must be turned off, cooled down and the brazier must be cleaned. Do not switch off the appliance by means of the main switch O/I on the power panel or by cutting off the power supply. Then restart the appliance.

Should you notice an excessive stagnation of flue gas in the combustion chamber, move away from the appliance immediately. In particular move away from the glass door of the combustion chamber. The excessive concentration of unburned gases could create an explosion that could break the glass. Do not open the fuel feed door for any reason and do not go near the appliance until said gases have been exhausted. Contact a technical service centre to determine the causes. Do not switch off the appliance by means of the main switch O/I on the power panel or by cutting off the power supply. Do not turn on the appliance for any reason whatsoever following an event such as this.

Only pellets complying with the above specifications are to be loaded into the tank; in no case whatsoever must foreign substances or objects be introduced into the tank, the brazier or any part of the product.

INSTALLATION

APPLIANCE LOCATION
Follow the general guidelines set out in paragraph 1.1 to the letter. Above all keep in mind that the floor of the installation site must be capable of bearing the weight of the appliance added to the weight of the pellets in the tank. ATTENTION: The room where the appliance is installed must be well- ventilated and free from humidity and salty air. A high level of humidity or saltiness in the room can lead to the onset of rust or corrosion which will not be covered by warranty. If inflammable materials are located in the vicinity of the appliance (e.g.: matchboarding, furniture, curtains, pictures and paintings, sofas) it is mandatory to comply with the minimum distances illustrated (see figure below). ATTENTION: it is mandatory to ensure that the shaft in which the insert is placed is well-vented as illustrated above and also respects the minimum clearances.

ATTENTION: It is recommended to leave a gap of 250 mm on the RH and LH sides of the insert to facilitate routine and extraordinary maintenance operations.
ATTENTION: It may be necessary to carry out extraordinary maintenance work on the back or on the sides of the insert, so for this reason it is mandatory to ensure that the fireplace plasterboard can be dismantled quickly or provide an access door.
Installation in the vicinity of heat-sensitive materials is only permitted if suitable insulating and fireproof protection is placed between the object and the appliance (ref. Uni 10683). If the support base is made of wood or any other combustible material, it is mandatory to install a fireproof floor protector plate between the appliance and the floor. Failure to observe this instruction will immediately invalidate the warranty.
The installer must issue a certificate of conformity for the installation which includes the design plans and the following documents: a) Report containing the type of materials utilised. b) Project as defined in Article 5 of Ministerial Decree n° 37 22 January 2008. c) Drawing of the finished installation. d) References to existing partial or previous declarations of conformity (e.g., electrical wiring). e) Copy of the certificate of recognition of the professional technical qualifications.

These documents must, by law, be kept together with the use and maintenance booklet. The customer is responsible for verifying, directly or indirectly, that the installation has been carried out to perfection in accordance with relevant regulations in force. Do not install the appliance in unsuitable rooms such as bedrooms, bathrooms, garages and/or lock-ups. It is forbidden to place the appliance in environments with an explosive atmosphere. ATTENTION, the appliance is not simply a household appliance: if the instructions set out in this booklet are not followed and/or if installation of the appliance is not executed perfectly and/or the provisions in force are not strictly complied with,
dangerous conditions could arise for both objects and persons. It is the user’s responsibility to verify the presence, in the room, of a vent necessary for supplying oxygen to the generator.

The installer must provide the final user with verbal instructions on the correct use of the appliance when the appliance is set at work for the first time.

Alternatively, if you wish to copy the exact same programming for the ON/OFF cycles set for a particular day to the next day simply press the Ventilation button. For example: if I want to copy all the programmed ON/OFF cycles set for Monday to Tuesday the following screen will appear:

I press the Ventilation button once again to copy all the cycles programmed for Tuesday to Wednesday. The following screen will appear:

Using the same logic, we can copy the programmed cycles to the other days. 7) To conclude the programming operations simply press the Menu Button to exit the screen, and the initial screen will appear.
ATTENTION: The appliance ignores any ON or OFF command programmed with a value of 00:00. Consequently if you do not wish to use an ON or OFF time setting simply set a value of 00:00. The appliance ignores any ON or OFF command if the shut off time is set the same as or before the start up time. ATTENTION: In the event of a programmed cycle on always ensure that the brazier is clean and in the correct position. Failure to clean the brazier can reduce and/or affect the life of the spark plug as it would be subjected to high temperatures due to poor cooling. It is recommended to set ON/OFF cycles times lasting no less than 2 hours, in order to save energy and for the proper operation of the appliance. Enabling the programmed cycles: Back in the initial screen, to enable the appliance to carry out the ON/OFF cycles as programmed simply press the Clock Button. The text CR.ON and the image of a clock will appear on the main screen:
The programmed cycles are now enabled. When the programmed cycles are enabled (a clock symbol appears on the display) it will not be possible to use an additional chronothermostat.
Disabling the programmed cycles: To disable the appliance from carrying out the programmed ON/OFF cycles press the Clock Button once again. The text CR.OFF will appear on the display and the clock symbol will disappear. This operation disables the weekly program that has been set by the user but does not delete or reset the times. Resetting the programmed cycles: Moreover, it is possible to reset, in other words delete, all the programmed cycles entered by the user by holding down the Clock Button in the initial screen for approx. five seconds.
Do not release the button until the text RESET CRONO appears on the screen. Only the appearance of the words RESET CRONO signal that the previously entered programmed cycles have been deleted. When the programmed cycles are active the operating level at start up, that is the combustion power, will be the same level set before the last time the machine was shut off: that is, only if it was a programmed shut off, not if the machine was shut off by means of a manual action. Manual shut down can only be carried out with the programming disabled. If after a manual shut off the programmed cycle re- enables, at the next programmed start up the appliance will be on the first combustion power level.

5.5 LEVEL: OPERATING LEVEL SETTING

The appliance must be energised and the I/0 switch in position “I”. Your appliance is delivered with an excellent program installed that favours combustion efficiency; the program is called LEVEL 1.

However, if you are using pellets with a higher than normal incidence of residues after combustion in the brazier, it is possible to

select alternative levels:

LEVEL 2

is an operating program that accelerates the speed of the smoke suction unit in proportion to all the combustion

power levels. This level must be set when the user notices a weak, high and very dark flame. Attention: this

modification does not authorise the use of below-standard pellets, or no vacuum in the flue outlet.

If using loosely compressed pellets, you could select:

LEVEL 0:

is an operating program that decelerates the speed of the smoke suction unit when using loosely compressed

pellets and/or when the flue outlet has a very high vacuum, over 2 mm water column (20 Pascal).

The pellet consumption value remains unchanged regardless of the selected operating level. These variations will only change the

rotation of the smoke suction unit in the WORK stage, all the other stages will not undergo any changes.

Select the required Level by acting as follows:

1. Press the Menu Button three times quickly and the following box will appear:

After a few seconds the following screen will appear on the display:

2. To change the operating level, hold down a Scroll Button while simultaneously pressing the other Scroll Button.
   To set the desired level or to exit the screen simply press the Menu Button; the initial screen will appear on the display. The level selection can be made with the appliance OFF or ON. If the change is made while the appliance is running the difference in the flame will be apparent. It is mandatory to pay particular care when selecting the most appropriate operating cycle for your installation. After the selection of the operating cycle a thorough cleaning of the brazier is mandatory. 5.6 ROOM CONTROL: CONNECTION WITH THE ROOM CONTROL DEVICE (OPTIONAL) See the specific manual for the ROOM CONTROL device (Optional).
   5.7 SHOW CRONO: ON-OFF PROGRAMMING DISPLAY The appliance must be energised and the I/0 switch in position “I”. This function enables you to consult the programmed cycles carried out through the CHRONO function.
   Proceed as follows to view the programmed ON/OFF cycles:

3. Press the Menu Button five times quickly until the SHOW CRONO screen appears, and after a few seconds the following screen will appear:

4. Press the left Scroll Button repeatedly to scroll and consult the programmings for all the days of the week. Attention: the on-off programmings cannot be modified from the SHOW CRONO menu. This menu is used only for viewing the programming cycles that have been entered and/or edited through the CHRONO menu.

6 ­ USE OF THE APPLIANCE
6.1 DESCRIPTION OF THE OPERATING STAGES START: has a duration of approx. 20 minutes, during this phase the appliance is programmed to light the flame. The appliance will not accept power variations in the firebox. If the appliance does not start up correctly it could be due to one of the following factors: cleanliness of the generator, smoke exhaust particularly cold, sudden surges and drops in the electric power supply, fuel is too moist or does not comply with the specifications. WORK: the appliance works according to the combustion and ventilation power set by the user. The spark plug is dead. OFF: has a duration of approx. 25 minutes. In this phase the appliance is switched off until a new “on” phase is initiated. The aim is to make the pellet embers in the brazier die out and cool the appliance. The room fan and the smoke suction unit continue to operate as required. In any case after approx. 25 minutes the appliance goes into stand-by mode. WAIT TIME: The Chrono programming was activated and the device is waiting for the next start up time (ON) or it is waiting for the next command from an external contact. NO PROGRAM: The Chrono programming was activated but no valid programming was set.

6.2 SWITCHING ON THE STOVE
Before using the appliance check that all the movable parts are correctly fitted. Also remove any labels and stickers from the glass to avoid that permanent traces remain on the surfaces. Verify that the electric connections have been made perfectly. Check also that the firebox door is firmly closed.
Then carry out the following operations: 1) Power up the appliance and turn the I/0 switch to position “I”. 2) Ensure that the appliance is connected to the smoke exhaust: we recommend against using aluminium tubes and we recommend always using sealing gaskets. Further information is given in paragraph dedicated to the smoke discharge of this use and maintenance booklet. 3) Load the pellets into the hopper. 4) Press the Flame Button to begin the start up phase and the word START will appear on the display.
Press the Flame Button repeatedly to set the desired combustion power which will only activate at the end of the START cycle which takes roughly 20 minutes. In this stage any level of combustion power set by the user is ignored to meet the correct power values set by the manufacturer. Press the Ventilation button repeatedly to set the six fan speeds; the fan will only activate once the smoke has reached the preset temperature. The electrical heater will start to overheat and only after a few minutes the first lot of pellets will start dropping into the brazier. This occurs because the screw feeder has to fill up because it is completely empty. At the first start up the appliance may require the starting sequence to be performed twice for the reason explained above: before starting up the second time empty and vacuum out the brazier.
ATTENTION: During the START sequence the appliance ignores all the combustion power changes that are transmitted to it or set on it. Once this phase has ended the word WORK appears on the display. When the machine is in the running phase the combustion can be changed manually.
ATTENTION: If the appliance does not start up correctly check that the brazier and electric heater are clean. It is very important to ensure that the tube lodging of the electric heater is clean; there must be no deposits or dust. It is recommended to use an efficient ash vacuum cleaner but only when the appliance has cooled down.

6.3 COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION ADJUSTMENTS
Set the combustion power of the stove by acting on the Flame Button. The combustion power regulates the pellet drop. The selected combustion power level will appear on the display. Set the ventilation speed of the appliance by acting on the Ventilation Button. The ventilation speed regulates the number of fan revolutions. A slight vibration of the stove is quite normal when it is running. The selected ventilation power level will appear on the display.

6.4 SWITCHING OFF THE APPLIANCE To switch off the appliance press the Flame Button until the power bars on the display disappear and the text OFF appears.
DO NOT disconnect the generator from the electric power socket to switch it off. This operation generates smoke that could not be evacuated because of the construction characteristics of the flue outlet. The OFF procedure lasts for approx. 25 minutes.

LEGENDA Cronotermostato Modem

KEY Chronothermostat – Modem

C

A

This operation must be exclusively performed by qualified professional staff, as set forth by Decree no. 37 of 22nd January 2008 and applicable laws on the subject. Before performing said task, make sure the power supply cable is disconnected from the electrical power socket.
The contacts are defined as “FREE” contacts and they must never be supplied with voltage. It is strictly prohibited to supply any tension whatsoever to the above-mentioned terminals as this would permanently damage the control board; such damage is not covered by WARRANTY.
Using this output, when the chrono-thermostat contact closes, the START cycle begins, whereas when the contact opens, the OFF cycle begins. The operating level at start up (combustion power – fan speed) is the same as the level used before the last time the appliance shut down.
ATTENTION: when using the chrono-thermostat program up to a maximum of 3 on- off daily cycles without setting the desired temperature or set it at the highest possible value for the chrono-thermostat.
At the end of the preset time the contact of the chrono-thermostat will open and perform the appliance shut down process. Similarly at the preset startup time the contact will close and initiate the START cycle. The chrono- thermostat can be used to program start up and shut down times and dates for the appliance. It is therefore possible to program a momentary shut down of the appliance according to the preset time.
Do not shut down the appliance according to the room temperature. If the external chrono-thermostat is used, the “CRONO” function cannot be used.
ATTENTION: The manufacturer denies all responsibility for the life of the electrical heater if subjected to excessive start-ups. It is recommended not to set the desired room temperature or to set it at the highest possible value for the chrono-thermostat in order to avert this danger. If you use the Room Control device in Switch Mode you cannot use the additional room temperature thermostat.
ATTENTION: Use N.O. (normally open) contacts for the connection to the chrono- thermostat. In the event of connections to the chrono-thermostat Thermorossi S.p.a. shall not be held responsible for the appliance not starting up, smoke leaks or breakage of the lighting component. In the event of a programmed cycle on always ensure that the brazier is clean and seated correctly in its lodging. A maximum of 3 on-off cycles per day are permitted. The chronothermostat must have a thermal hysteresis that is at least of 2°C.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

FOREWORD
Before commencing any operation switch off the appliance and disconnect it from the electric power outlet. Your pellet appliance needs maintenance; it requires a few simple, basic but frequent control and general cleaning operations. This will guarantee consistently safe and smooth operation and optimal efficiency of the appliance. In the event of prolonged non-use of the product it is mandatory to check for obstructions in the smoke channel and flue outlet before putting it back into use. It is important to carefully follow the instructions set out below: failure to observe these instructions could cause serious damage to the product, to the system, to objects and to persons using the generator. Failure to observe cleaning and maintenance instructions will immediately void the warranty. Caution: do not wet the appliance and do not touch the electrical parts with wet hands. Never vacuum hot ash: this could damage the vacuum device. All the cleaning operations described in this manual must be carried out when the appliance is cold. The user must periodically clean the appliance, or have an authorised service centre clean it, as described in this manual. Moreover, once a year it is advisable to have an inspection carried out of the functionality of the flue outlet.

8.2 CLEANING AND MAINTAINING THE APPLIANCE Due to the frequent cases, we have encountered of the use of poor-quality pellets, users are advised that it is mandatory to use, in this appliance, pellets certified in accordance with the regulations in force for the Italy UNI market or for the European EN market. If this requirement is not observed the result will be unsuitable combustion, consequently, the electrical and electronic components could be subjected to very high temperatures and will not be covered by warranty. Unless otherwise instructed, the operations described below are mandatory and not postponable beyond the specified times.
The cleaning and maintenance operations must be carried out by the user.
EVERY DAY: · Clean out all the combustion residues from the brazier B, particularly check that the holes of the burner and the heater lodging channel are completely sediment-free and remove, if present, all silica agglomerates; they indicate poor quality fuel (Figure 1). To open and close the door use the handle provided. ATTENTION: make sure, before every start up, that the brazier is clean and if necessary, also thoroughly clean the burner with a suction unit. To guarantee correct operation, carefully clean the area around the spark plug.
EVERY 3 DAYS: · Remove the ash pan, the grate and the brazier assembly by pulling them outwards. Clean out all the combustion residues from the brazier, the drawer and the compartment A1 (Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4), then remount the brazier back to its correct position. To open and close the door use the special handle provided. To guarantee correct operation of the appliance, carefully clean the area around the spark plug.
EVERY WEEK: · Thoroughly vacuum the inspection compartments A2 (Figures 6 and 7). The two knobs must be unscrewed to access compartments A2 (Figure 5). When closing them, make sure there are no obstacles that prevent airtight closure.
EVERY MONTH: · Remove the rear of the combustion chamber (Figures 8 and 9), raising and rotating it outside the appliance and clean the smoke circuit thoroughly; after cleaning is completed, reassemble the rear properly. · Inspect and clean the Tee-joint of the smoke exhaust pipe C1 (Figure 10). Unscrew the two knobs to access it and check the integrity of the gasket when reassembling the inspection cover. If necessary, replace the gasket. · Check the hold and integrity of the sealing gasket of the smoke exhaust located at the Tee inlet. · Vacuum, when empty, the saw dust on the bottom of the pellet tank. · Check that the smoke exhaust pipe is free from any ash deposits, above all in the initial parts.
AT LEAST TWICE A YEAR: · Clean the flue outlet. If there are any horizontal sections, inspect them and clean out any ash and soot deposits before they block the passage of the flue gases.
AT THE END OF THE WINTER SEASON (or whenever necessary) · Perform a thorough overall cleaning of the firebox and compartments with brushes and vacuum cleaners.
A vacuum device simplifies the ash cleaning procedure. The frames, door glass and glass must be cleaned with a soft cloth and water only and only when the appliance has cooled down. It is also normal to find partially or totally unburned pellets in the ash pan. The door of the combustion chamber must only be opened when the appliance has completely cooled down and is disconnected from electric power: when it is opened it is normal for some ash to spill onto the floor. ATTENTION: a daily deposit of soot and combustion residues on the glass is quite normal.

Installation, use and maintenance guide ESPRIT 490 ­ 540 ­ 600
ATTENTION: after cleaning it is mandatory to carefully check that the combustion chamber door is firmly closed and airtight. ATTENTION: the generator, the smoke channel and flue outlet must be cleaned in accordance with the specifications described above and use of inflammable products is strictly forbidden: using inflammable products can create dangerous situations. Lack of or poor maintenance prevents the appliance from operating correctly. Any problems resulting from total or partial lack of cleaning or maintenance will immediately void the warranty. ATTENTION: if the appliance remains inactive (and/or not used for over a month) the generator, the smoke discharge tube and the flue outlet must be thoroughly cleaned and checked for any possible obstructions (e.g., birds nests in the chimney cap) before restarting.

9 ­ SMOKE DISCHARGE TUBE AND VENTILATION OF THE ROOMS
9.1 FOREWORD
Due to the frequent accidents caused by poor functioning of flue outlets installed in private dwellings, we have prepared the following paragraph to assist the installer in his inspection of the parts concerned with eliminating the gases produced by combustion. The flue outlet must comply with UNI 10683 and be built in accordance with the requirements set out in Italian Decree No. 37 of 22 January 2008, respecting the reference values expressed in the standard; in particular, the flue outlet must conform to fire prevention standards (it must therefore be capable of withstanding a possible fire action: in such a situation contact the fire department immediately). This chapter is not intended to replace UNI 7129, UNI 10683 and EN 14785 standards to which it refers. The qualified installer must in any case be fully aware of these standards and any amending versions. It is important to carefully follow the instructions included in these standards: failure to observe these instructions could cause serious damage to the product, to the system, to objects and to persons using the generator.

9.2 ROOM VENTILATION
ATTENTION: the presence of extraction fans or similar appliances, if operating in the same room or space in which the product is installed, could cause problems for the correct operation of the product. ATTENTION: do not obstruct the vents or the air inlets on the appliance.
The room where the appliance is installed must have a good air flow to guarantee air for the appliance for the combustion process and for ventilation of the room. The natural air flow must take place directly through permanent openings on the outer walls or through single or multiple ventilation ducting. The ventilating air must come from outside and if possible, away from sources of pollution. The openings in the walls must comply with the following conditions: · have an unobstructed section of at least 6cm² for each Kw of installed thermal power, with a minimum limit of 100cm²; · be made in such a way that the vent openings, both on the inside and outside of the wall, cannot be obstructed; · be protected with grills or similar systems that do not reduce the opening section indicated above; · be situated at a height near- floor level and they must not obstruct the correct operation of the combustion product discharge devices; if this position is not possible, the section of the ventilation openings must be enlarged by at least 50%.
VENTILATION FROM ADJOINING ROOMS The air flow can also be obtained from an adjoining room as long as: · the adjoining room is equipped with direct ventilation in compliance with the paragraphs described above; · only appliances connected to the exhaust pipe are installed in the room that is ventilated; · the adjoining room is not used as a bedroom or a common area of the building; · the adjacent room is not a room with a fire hazard, such as storage sheds, garages, combustible material store rooms, etc…; · the adjoining room does not become a vacuum compared to the room to be ventilated due to a reverse draught effect (the reverse draught can be caused by the presence in the room of either another heating appliance running on any type of fuel, a fireplace, or any suction device, which have not been provided with an air intake) · the air flow from the adjoining room to the room to be ventilated is unobstructed through the permanent apertures having an overall net section of no less than that indicated above. These apertures can be obtained by enlarging the space between the door and the floor.

9.3 SMOKE OUTLET
The smoke channel, the exhaust pipe, chimney and flue outlet (defined as the system for the evacuation of combustion products), are parts of the heating system and they must comply with the legislative requirements of the Ministerial Decree DM 37/08 (ex Italian Law 46/90) and to the applicable specific installation regulations, according to the type of fuel. Fireplaces, stoves and barbecues must not be installed in locations where gas appliances type A and type B are present and operating (for the classification see UNI 10642 and UNI 7129). The connection between the appliance and the flue outlet must only receive exhaust from one heat generator.
9.3.1 CHIMNEY TYPES The following types of chimneys, constructed as described, are possible: · System: Chimney installed using a combination of compatible components (flue liner, insulation, outer casing etc…), constructed or specified by a single manufacturer and CE certified in accordance with the applicable standard; · Composite chimney: Chimney installed or constructed on site using a combination of compatible components such as flue liner (wall directly in contact with the smoke), and possibly also insulation and outer casing (wall) that may be supplied by different manufacturers or by the same manufacturer. · Relining: operation involving the installation of a specific pipe in an existing shaft (even if newly constructed) made of noncombustible materials, free from obstructions and for single use.

(Ministerial Decree 22 January 2008, no. 37).

The flue outlet must be built in compliance with UNI 10683.

·The smoke exhaust shown in the following figures is the best solution to ensure the discharge of smoke even when the fan is not operational,

such as for example if there is an electrical power failure. Failure to

comply with these requirements may result in accumulation of smoke

inside the firebox with possible explosions and/or smoke escaping into the room. The figures illustrate the best solution for discharging the

ISPEZIONE

roof and chimney cap to protect against bad weather conditions.

If you decide to use the classic masonry exhaust provide a union tee with

inspection cap and suitable supporting brackets. If the flue outlet is too

big it is necessary to insert a stainless steel or porcelain-coated steel

tube.

Seal area where the inlet and outlet part of the smoke exhaust meets the

wall. It is strictly forbidden to apply mesh to the end of the outlet tube, as

it could cause the appliance to malfunction.

If the smoke tube is installed in a fixed position, it is advisable to provide

inspection openings for clean-out purposes especially in the horizontal

sections. See the diagram. These openings are essential to allow for the

ISPEZIONE

removal of ash and unburned products which tend to accumulate along the discharge path. The appliance functions with the

combustion chamber in a vacuum, while the discharge of smoke to the flue outlet has a slight pressure, consequently it is

imperative to ensure that the discharge system is hermetically sealed. The smoke discharge tube must be made from suitable

materials such as for example: porcelain-coated steel tubes, and the various fittings sealed with red silicone (resistant to 350°C).

The outer casing of the tube must be made with insulating material (mineral wool, ceramic fibre) or use pre-insulated tubing. THE

FLUE OUTLET MUST BE USED ONLY FOR THE APPLIANCE. It must be possible to inspect and remove all the smoke tube

sections for clean-out purposes.

ATTENTION: if the flue outlet is not sufficiently insulated and /or if it is too long it could generate condensation. It is mandatory to provide a condensation drain near the smoke outlet of the appliance. The appliance must always and only be installed in a single flue outlet system dedicated exclusively to the appliance. If the generator is connected to a non-compliant flue system the appliance could rapidly deteriorate due to an abnormal, continuous overheating: in this case the damaged parts will not be covered by warranty. IF THE CHIMNEY CATCHES FIRE DO NOT HESITATE TO CALL THE FIRE BRIGADE IMMEDIATELY.

10 ­ ALARMS
The appliance is programmed to communicate 7 alarms. ATTENTION: The appearance of one of the alarms described below, does not necessarily imply a defect in the product, but simply Thermorossi S.p.A.’s intention to inform the user of the need for corrective actions in order to guarantee maximum safety, greater reliability and high performance of the appliance.
The alarms are listed below:

This message appears when during the WORK stage the temperature of the smoke drops below a preset threshold: this means that the appliance is shutting off due to lack of pellets. To reset the alarm the power to the appliance must be switched off then on by turning the switch 0-1 located on the power panel. It is mandatory to empty and clean the brazier, and then to fill the pellet tank before repeating the START phase. It could be that the screw feeder is completely empty, so the start-up sequence may have to be carried out twice.

This appears if, after the START sequence, the smoke has not reached a suitable temperature. To reset the alarm the power to the appliance must be switched off then on by turning the switch 0-1 located on the power panel. It is mandatory to empty and clean the brazier before repeating the START phase: pellets emptied from the brazier must not be fed into the tank.

This occurs when the smoke outlet is partially blocked. To reset the alarm the power to the appliance must be switched off then on by turning the switch 0-1 located on the power panel. Before restarting the appliance check for any irregularities such as blocked flue outlet, open firebox door, very dirty appliance.
Do not start up the appliance until the problem has been identified and solved It is mandatory to empty and clean the brazier before repeating the START phase: pellets emptied from the brazier must not be fed into the tank.

This appears when the appliance overheats. After having verified and solved the causes for the overtemperature, unscrew the plastic cover of the reset thermostat located on the power/control panel and press the button (the appliance can only be reset when its temperature has dropped considerably). To reset the alarm the power to the appliance must be switched off then on by turning the switch 0-1 located on the power panel. It is mandatory to empty and clean the brazier before repeating the START phase: pellets emptied from the brazier must not be fed into the tank.

Appears when the smoke thermocouple is damaged or absent. Contact the technical assistance service.

Activates when the smoke suction unit revolution sensor detects a very slow rotation speed: check the flue pipes and the flue outlet. If the problem persists contact the technical assistance service.

Trips when the smoke suction unit revolution sensor fails to detect any rotation. The smoke suction unit or the rotation sensor are not working. Contact the technical assistance service.

12 ­ INFORMATION FOR THE SKILLED TECHNICIAN
12.1 MAIN COMPONENTS AND THEIR OPERATION SMOKE PRESSURE SWITCH This is a safety switch that stops the screw feeder motor whenever necessary. The main cause for the pressure switch tripping is a blocked flue outlet or smoke exhaust pipe. Note that it is strictly forbidden to apply any kind of mesh screen to the end of the pipe. When the holes of the mesh clog up, they create a plug that trips the pressure switch which stops the pellet feeder.
SCREW FEEDER MOTOR This motor is powered at regular on/off intervals controlled by a microprocessor. The operation of this motor is affected when: -The motor’s thermal cut-out trips. -The pressure switch trips due to blocked smoke exhaust. -Pellets finished. -Voluntary shut down of the appliance. -The manual reset thermostat trips at 125°C
ROOM FAN Starts automatically as soon as the smoke thermocouple detects a suitable smoke temperature. Similarly, it stops when the fuel is finished or during a voluntary shut down when the smoke thermocouple detects a suitable temperature for activating (to a maximum of 20 minutes).
SMOKE SUCTION UNIT This is activated when the appliance starts up. In the first minute it «washes» the smoke discharge tube, that is, it functions at maximum working rate. Once this time has elapsed it self-adjusts to the optimal speed. The exhaust continues to operate for approximately twenty minutes from the time the appliance is switched off to allow for the evacuation of all the smoke and for safety purposes.
THERMOCOUPLE Its function is to verify the temperature of the combustion smoke: when the smoke temperature exceeds a certain value it indicates that the appliance is on. Similarly, when the temperature drops below a certain limit it causes the presence of the message NO PELLET on the display.
TANK SAFETY SENSOR This probe activates as soon as the temperature around the pellet tank rises above a certain threshold, which immediately signals the room fan to start operating.
125°C MANUAL RESET THERMOSTAT When the temperature exceeds 125°C the pellet feed screw shuts down. Display shows the inscription “AL T max”. Once the causes for the overtemperature have been identified and remedied the appliance can be reactivated by unscrewing the plastic cover of the thermostat located on the power panel and pressing the button (the appliance temperature must have considerably dropped).
GLOW PLUG It is activated in the START phase. Heats the air to 800°C, which assist the first combustion of the pellets present in the brazier. The spark plug is guaranteed for a period of 6 months.

12.2 REQUIREMENTS NECESSARY FOR CORRECT OPERATION
· Read this use and maintenance booklet. · The appliance must always be switched off from the control panel. It is forbidden to switch off the appliance by means of the main switch 0/I located in the power panel. · The appliance must never be disconnected from the electrical power supply and the power supply must never be cut off during normal operation. Whenever the appliance is deliberately disconnected from the electric power supply smoke could be emitted into the room. · Do not install the appliance with horizontal wall outlets only: Evacuation of products of combustion by natural draught must always be guaranteed as well. Unsuitable installation of the outlets could cause a forced shut down of the appliance due to overpressure of the exhaust smoke caused by a gust of wind. · At the first startup, run the appliance at the maximum power and minimum ventilation for at least ten hours in a well-ventilated room, in order to dispose of the smoke generated by the complete dryness and baking of the silicates contained in the enamel coating of the combustion chamber. · Do not install a grill or outlet terminal that could slow down the flow of the combustion gases: this would obviously cause the appliance to malfunction. · Keep the appliance clean and check the burner as described in this use and maintenance guide. · Clean the smoke outlet regularly. · Use good quality pellets: use of poor pellets can result in up to 50% less efficiency. · The pellets must be stored in a well-ventilated, dry place. · The appliance door must always remain closed during normal operation. · Do not touch hot outer surfaces, unless with special equipment. · Do not pour the pellets or other substances directly into the brazier. · Keep fuel and inflammable materials at a suitable distance. · Use only original spare parts supplied by the manufacturer.
