1 Important information for the stove operator

•
The information in this manual is of a general nature. National and European standards, local and
building regulations, and fire safety provisions must be observed.
•
Please read this manual carefully before installing, operating and working on the pellet stove. Keep
the manual in a safe place and ensure that it is available at all times.
•
Compliance with the regulations contained in this manual guarantees safety for both individuals and
equipment, and economical operation and a long service life of the pellet stove. The stove has been
designed according to EN 14785 and EN13240 standards.
•
It is forbidden to modify any components or replace them with parts that are not original. If non-origi-
nal components are spare parts are used, all warranty claims immediately become null and void and
the operating licence expires.
•
Before carrying out any work on the pellet stove, the power supply to the stove must be disconnected.
•
All diagrams and drawings supplied with the appliance are for explanatory purposes only. The manu-
facturer pursues a policy of continuous improvement and is entitled to undertake updates and modifi-
cations to the respective pellet stove model without prior notice.
•
All dimensions contained in this manual are indicated in mm.
•
CAUTION: The initial commissioning of the appliance must be carried out by authorised Austroflamm
service partners.
•
Your heating appliance is not suitable for use as a ladder or stand.
•
Please note that the surfaces of the stove heat up considerably during operation. Therefore, always
use the protective glove to control the stove when it is in use. Make children aware of the dangers
and keep them away from the stove when it is in operation.
•
No waste (of any kind) or residues may be burnt in the stove. Only pellets of ENPlus quality (see sec-
tion on fuel) may be burned.
•
It is forbidden to place non-heat-resistant objects on or near the appliance.
•
Do not place any laundry on the stove to dry. Clothes horses or similar objects must also be placed at
a sufficient distance from the stove. Fire hazard!
•
While your heating appliance is in operation, the use of highly flammable or explosive materials in the
same or adjacent rooms is forbidden.
•
It must be ensured that there is a sufficient supply of combustion air and that the flue gases are dis-
charged safely. Therefore, always check that the chimney is not clogged in the event of poor flue gas
discharge and after a longer period of inactivity.
•
In the transitional period, i.e. when outdoor temperatures are higher, there may be malfunctions in the
chimney draught. The heating gases are then unable to escape fully through the chimney. If this oc-
curs, switch off the stove. (WARNING: The power supply to the stove must not be interrupted.) The
convection grilles of your pellet stove must never be closed.
•
Ventilation systems that are operated together with the appliance in the same room or group of rooms
can cause problems.
•
The stove must be cleaned and serviced regularly (see section on cleaning and maintenance).
•
Repairs to your stove may only be carried out by qualified personnel trained by the manufacturer.
•
Wear and tear parts must be replaced as necessary. Request an authorised Austroflamm SERVICE
ENGINEER to inspect the electrical and electronic components for damage or wear as part of the
ANNUAL SERVICE.
•
Safety devices must not be bypassed.
•
If the incorrect fuel is used, or if the fuel is too damp, the chimney may catch fire due to deposits in
the chimney. Should this happen, close all air openings on the appliance immediately and inform the
fire brigade. After the fire has died out, arrange for a specialist to inspect the chimney for any cracks
or leaks.
•
In many countries, pellet stoves are only suitable for single occupancy of the chimney. Germany al-
lows multiple occupancy under certain conditions. Your local chimney sweep will be able to advise
you.
•
Please note that the installation room must have at least one door / one window leading to the out-
side, or be directly connected to such a room. Other heating appliances and extractor hoods may not
be operated with appliances dependent on ambient air.
