4. OPERATION
4.1. PRE-LIGHTING WARNINGS
ATTENTION!
Installation is to be made only with connection to a
flue pipe. Therefore, the following evaluation criteria
for identification of installation are to be considered
compliant with standards.
For complex or articulated installations, we
recommend you contact specialized personnel or
authorized MCZ service centres.
MCZ does not recommend other types of installation,
where smoke is not discharged into a flue pipe, and
will not be held liable for any malfunctions or
anomalies.
• Do not touch the stove during the first lighting, as it is
during this phase that the paint sets. If you touch the
paint, you may expose the steel surface.
•
If necessary, touch up the paint with the aerosol spray in
the original colour (see the section "Accessories for pellet
stoves").
• It is good practice to provide plenty of ventilation in the
room during the initial lighting, as the stove will give off a
small amount of smoke and smell of paint.
• Do not stay near the stove, and as previously mentioned,
ventilate the room. The smoke and the smell of paint will
vanish after about one hour of operation. There are no
health risks involved.
• Make sure the plumbing system is sealed perfectly and
that there are no leaks or pressure drops.
• Make sure that all cut-off valves between the stove and
the system are open.
• Make sure you have vented all air out of the system
before start-up.
• Make sure that internal devices work properly (flow
switches, thermostats, etc.). Make sure that the
combustion chamber and the flue pipe are clean, and that
the plumbing circuit is free of obstructions.
The stove will be subject to expansion and
contraction during the stages of lighting and cooling
down, and may therefore make slight creaking noises.
This phenomenon is absolutely normal, the structure
being made of sheet steel, and must not be
considered a defect but rather a characteristics.
The basic settings ensure proper operation and
prevent overheating during the first ignitions.
