OPERATING PRINCIPLE

PELLBOX SCF is a wood pellets-fired insert that manages
pellet combustion electronically.
The fuel (pellets) is taken from the storage hopper (A) and
delivered to the combustion chamber (D) by a screw feeder
(B) driven by a gearmotor (C).
The pellets are ignited by hot air produced by a heating ele-
ment (E) which is drawn into the combustion chamber by a
centrifugal fan (F).
The combustion smoke produced is drawn out of the fire-
box by the same centrifugal fan (F), and expelled from the
nozzle (G) at the bottom rear of the insert.
Air is blown into the hollow space at the back of the fire-
box by a fan (H), where it is heated before coming out into
the room from the front grille (I) and into an adjoining
room through appropriate piping (fig. along side).
The amount of fuel and the smoke extraction/combustion
air supply are controlled by an electronic circuit board (L)
in order to achieve highly efficient fuel consumption.
A display-control panel (M) is fitted on the front under the
door which allows all the operating stages to be managed
and displayed.
The same steps can be managed using the remote control.
The pellet hopper is at the top of the insert.
The hopper is filled through a drawer (N) found at the front
above the hopper itself.
The internal structure of the insert is completely made of
cast iron.
Use the cold grip provided (component 44 in the exploded
view) to open the insert door.
Fit the two air circulation grilles (36 x 9 cm) provided on
the front and/or right side of the fireplace (looking from the
front)
NOTES on fuel.
Pellbox SCF is designed to burn wood pellets.
Pellets are small 6 mm diameter (approx.) fuel cylinders made from sawdust pressed at high pressure without adhesives
or other foreign material.
They are sold in 15 kg bags.
In order NOT to jeopardize insert operation, do NOT burn other substances. The use of other materials (including wood),
which can be detected by laboratory analyses, invalidates the guarantee.
EdilKamin has designed, tested and programmed its products to perform best with pellets with the following characteristics:
diameter: 6 millimetres
maximum length: 40 mm
maximum moisture content: 8%
heat output: 4300 kcal/kg (at least)
If pellets with different characteristics are used, the insert will need recalibrating (similar to the initial calibration carried
out by the DEALER upon first ignition).
Use of unsuitable pellets may lead to: a decrease in efficiency; operating anomalies; stoppages due to clogging, dirty glass,
unburnt fuel, etc.
Pellets may be simply analysed just by looking at them.
Good: smooth, regular lengths, not very dusty.
Poor-quality: with horizontal and vertical splits, a lot of dust, highly variable lengths and mixed with foreign matter.
