Pellet combustion requires oxygen and, therefore, air.
Always ensure that the combustion air duct can draw clean air from the outside.
Never cover the air inlet. Regularly check that the suction opening is clean.
Use adequate equipment to transport stoves. Use of inadequate equipment could injure people and/or damage the stove.
Do not place any combustible objects or ma-terials within 400 mm of the sides or rear of the stove, nor within 800 mm of its front.
The stove has been designed for free-stand-ing installation and is therefore not suitable for recessed fitting. Keep a clear distance of 200 mm between non-flammable walls and the sides / backs of the stove.
The surface of the stove can become very hot while in use. DO NOT leave children unattended near the stove. Make sure that an adult is always present and that children do not play with the stove.
The stove should not be used by people (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental abilities, or with little experience and knowledge on the subject, unless under the direct supervision of, or following specific instructions from, a per-son responsible for their safety. Never leave the packaging lying around unattended in presence of the aforementioned persons. Risk of suffocation.
Children of less than 3 years should be kept away unless continuously supervised.
Children aged from 3 years and less than 8 years shall only switch on/off the appli-ance provided that it has been placed or installed in its intended normal operating position and they have been given super-vision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involvQed.
Children aged from 3 years and less than 8 years shall not plug in, regulate and clean the appliance or perform user mainte-nance.
The surface of the stove can become very hot while in use. When using the stove, use appropriate flame retardant personal pro-tective equipment, such as heat protection gloves.
Always use the necessary personal pro-tective equipment such as safety goggles, gloves, etc. when installing or carrying out maintenance work on the stove.
Take care when topping up the stove hop-per with pellets when the stove is still exceptionally hot. Make sure the pellet bag is not within reach of the fire.
Take care with flammable clothes as they could ignite near the fire.
Do not use flammable solvents in the room where the stove is located. To avoid any risk, do not keep combustible materials or flammable solvents in the same room.
The stove is particularly heavy, so make sure that the floor can bear its weight.
Only use good quality dry wood pellets without any glue, resin or additives residue. 6mm diameter. Max. length 30mm.
Do not use any fuels other than the aforementioned wood pellets. Other fuels, such as wood chips with residues of glue and/or solvents, wood in general, cardboard, liq-uid fuels, alcohol, oil, gasoline, waste materials or garbage, etc. are all prohibited.
The use of damp, painted or poor-quality wood can lead to the formation of condensation and/or soot in the fireplace or in the hearth, reducing the performance of the stove and giving rise to hazardous situations.
Have the chimney cleaned regularly, in compliance with local legislation and regulations required by law. If there is no leg-islation and/or standards: make sure that the entire stove-flue pipe-chimney system is checked and cleaned by an authorized technician at least twice a year (once at the beginning of the winter season). If the stove is used continuously and intensively, the entire system, including the chimney, must be cleaned more frequently.
Do not use the stove as a barbecue.
Connect only one wood-burning stove per flue pipe. Connecting several stoves to the same flue pipe can give rise to hazardous situations.
This stove requires an electrical connection. Read the following warnings and observations carefully:

POSITION THE ROOM TEMPERATURE SENSOR

The room temperature sensor is located at the back of the stove. Unwind the sen-sor cable until the sensor tip is 10 cm from the floor (see Figure 1). Make sure that the sensor does not come into contact with hot parts of the stove.
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR THE FLUE PIPE/CHIMNEY

The chimney/flue pipe is a very important part of the system.
This chapter deals with the minimum requirements that the chimney/flue pipe for the pellet stove must meet to ensure the stove works properly.
Comply with the rules, provisions, regulations, and legislation in force at local/national level. If the installation instructions contained in this manual deviate from the current legislation at local, national, and/or regional level, the latter is prevalent.

The manufacturer and distributor expressly disclaim any liability in the event that:

Installation fails to comply with national/local legislation.
If national/local legislation is not applicable, the minimum system require-ments described in this document may not need to be complied with. MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS THAT THE

CHIMNEY MUST MEET

Only one device can be connected to the fireplace. Do not connect multiple appliances to a single chimney. Never connect two stoves, a suction hood and a stove, a second chimney, etc. to a single chimney. See Figure 2.
Use only approved installation material when installing the chimney. The pellet stove’s chimney must be heat-resistant (minimum 450° C). Consult the rules, regulations, and local/national legislation governing the requirements of materials for chimney installation.
The chimney and its outlet must be positioned at a sufficient distance from combustible and inflammable materials. Consult the rules, regulations, and local/national legislation governing the requirements for these materials.
The stove must be connected to a chimney with a diameter that conforms to the specifications in Table 1 of this installation manual. Use of a chimney with a larger diameter that does not exceed 150 mm is permitted, provided that it conforms with the indicated foced draught.
Refer to the local /national provisions, regulations, and legislation in order to verify the possibility of positioning the draught valve in the chimney channel.
Do not install electric cables down the chimney or near it.
The fireplace must be smoke-tight.
The chimney must be vertically installed in such a way that no flue gas blocks occur. If, however, a part of the chimney needs to be horizontally installed, the length of the horizontal part should be no more than 2 m and must slope by at least 5° in the direction of the combustion gas exhaust pipe. See table 1.
We strongly advise against installing a horizontal pipe in the flue. Please note: There may be local and national rules and regulations in place that expressly forbid the use of a (partially) horizontal flue. Always follow these rules & regulations. You can find an overview of the number of curves and
T- pieces, the chimney height and the required inner diameter of the flue pipes in Table 1.
We recommend fitting a T-piece with an inspection hatch on the underside directly on the stove connection channel. Should a horizontal part be fitted on the stove connection channel, immediately after this horizontal part, we recommend fitting a T-piece with an inspection hatch on the lower side. Any condensation or solids will be collected in this T-joint and can removed by opening the inspection hatch. The inspection hatch must be smoke and water tight.
The chimney outlet must be equipped with an approved cover.
The fireplace and stove must be easily accessible for inspection and cleaning purposes.
The stove cannot be used to support the chimney/flue pipe.
If an existing flue pipe/chimney is used, it must be cleaned by an author-ised chimney cleaning company before installing the stove. The presence of soot and combustion residue can reduce the flow up an existing flue pipe/chimney and cause the stove to malfunction. The accumulation of soot and other foreign bodies can trigger hazardous situations. If an existing flue pipe/chimney has a diameter in excess of 150 mm, it must be adapted to suit a pellet stove by fitting a pipe inside the existing chimney.
note: Have the existing chimney checked by an authorised chimney maintenance company in order to verify its suitability for the combustion of solid fuel such as pellets.
The chimney draught must be 11Pa (plus or minus 1 Pa). This draught should be measured when the chimney is hot. Poor draught can lead to dangerous situations because the flue gases can spread into the room.
Never place a flue gas fan inside or above the flue gas/chimney channel. The stove is already equipped with a cat back exhaust fan. An additional fan inside or above the channel may impede proper functioning of the stove.
Do not use the heater if the air used for combustion is taken from the room, or if there are any of the following in the room: an air extraction system, hot air heating or any other machinery that influences the air pressure within the space. Turn this machinery off when operating the pellet stove. Figure 3

If more than one curve or T-joint is installed in the chimney, for each additional element the maximum vertical height must be reduced by 1 m.

Sample:
A T-joint and two 90° bends is fitted in a chimney with an internal diameter of 80 mm. Therefore, the chimney has a maximum height of 5 m, although the table shows that the chimney channel with a T-joint can reach a maximum height of 7 m. Two additional curves are fitted in such a way that the chimney is 2 m lower, therefore 7 m – 2 m = 5 m.

CONNECTION POINT BETWEEN THE CHIMNEY AND STOVE

The chimney can be connected to the 80 mm pipe on the back of the stove (see the pipe circled in figure 5). Ensure that the pipe is connected in such a way that no smoke can escape. See chapter 4 for requirements of the chimney and materials to be used.

CONNECTION OF THE COMBUSTION AIR PIPE

Make sure that the position of the fresh air inlet always complies with local legislation!
Make sure that the fresh air inlet for combustion gas is covered, for example, by a grille that prevents accessing it.
Connect a 50 mm rubber pipe or similar conduit to the combustion air inlet at the back of the stove, see figure 6. The other end of this rubber pipe or similar channel must draw in clean air from the outside. See figures 3 and from 4A to 4E.

COMPULSORY ROOM VENTILATION WHEN USING THE STOVE

The stove cannot be used if an air suction system, a hot air heating sys-tem or other appliances that affect the air pressure in the room, are used. Such equipment must be disconnected.

Make sure the room is sufficiently ventilated with fresh air. An additional 50 m³ of air is required every hour, over and above the normal room ventilation requirement.
Ventilation openings must be near the floor. Choose the location carefully. The ventilation openings must not be blocked (neither inside nor outside).
Ensure that there is an opening for fresh air in the room with a section of at least a quarter of the exhaust pipe section, with a minimum of 100 cm².
If the stove is located in rooms with mechanical ventilation, the following guide-lines apply:

POSITION THE UNIT

Never install the unit or c Qlima ECO 1700 Pellet Heater Instruction fig
12 arry out maintenance work on it if it is plugged into the mains socket. Always make sure that the stove is disconnected from the mains!

When it comes to the final positioning of the stove, make sure that the floor is sufficiently solid in order to support its weight. Please note: the weight of the stove is divided across the four support feet. If necessary, reinforce the floor.
Adjust the support feet to level the horizontal positioning of the stove. Use a spirit level to do this. Make sure that all four feet sit on the floor with the same force.
When positioning the stove, take into consideration a free distance between the stove and the walls or other obstacles as indicated in figure 7. If the walls or objects around the stove are made of flammable materials, make sure that they do not exceed 60° C when the stove is at maximum. If in doubt, fit a flame-retardant protection plate on the walls or move the objects.
The stove is designed for free installation and is unsuitable for flush mounting.
Make sure that the grille from which the heated air comes out is free and unobstructed.
Make sure that the return air intake grille is not blocked.
If the floor is made of flammable material, the stove must be placed on a fire-resistant slab. The dimensions of this slab must be greater than 40 cm at the front and sides, and 20 cm at the back compared to the perimeter of the stove.
Position the stove in such a way that it can easily be accessed for mainte-nance purposes.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

This stove requires an electricity supply. Carefully read the instructions below. The stove can only be connected to the mains when all other installation operations have been completed. Read chapter 3 and 3.1 of the user manual before connect-ing the stove to the mains.

Make sure that the mains voltage matches that of the device indicated on the type plate.
Use only a grounded socket. In its absence, a grounded socket must be in-stalled by an authorised installer.
Do not use an extension cable to connect the stove. In the absence of a grounded socket, it must be installed by an authorised installer.
Make sure that the extension cable does not come into contact with hot parts of the stove.
A part of the extension cable supplied must be connected to the stove, see figure 8.
Make sure the extension cable plug fits in the socket.
Before inserting the plug into the socket, make sure that the socket and the connection cable are intact.
Make sure that the power switch at the back of the stove is turned OFF.
Make sure that the plug is easily accessible so that it can be disconnected quick-ly and easily from the socket for maintenance purposes, or in an emergency.
Do not attach the cable.

Any damaged power cord or plug should only be replaced by the supplier, a competent technician or an authorised service technician.
