If this is the first lighting, the fuel which has to
travel from the hopper to the grate is not arriving in
time or in the properly programmed amount. In this
case the grate will either be empty or will contain
very few pellets.

r .
After repeated ignitions, if no flame appears even though there is a
correct supply of pellets, there may be a problem with the components
of the stove or installation may not be correct.
REMOVE THE PELLETS FROM THE BURNER AND
CONTACT AN AUTHORISED MCZ TECHNICIAN.

NEVER SHUT THE STOVE DOWN BY CUTTING OFF THE
ELECTRICITY SUPPLY: Always let it complete the
shutdown cycle, otherwise damage could be caused
to the structure, and also problems with lighting in
the future.
4.9. VIEW OF THE FLAMES
In order to get proper operation from the stove, you need to be able to
interpret the appearance of the flame. Characteristics which the user
should take into consideration are basically the following:
•
The shape
• The colour
• The character
4.9.1. The shape
In normal combustion the flame should have a tapered shape, a
lively character, with the tips of the flames basically vertical or pushed
towards the back of the firebox. You should get the impression that the
flame is being drawn upwards.
Conversely, a flame which swells outwards at the base, with a thin
character, with a point that appears to wander, could be a symptom of
bad setting as regards loading of the fuel and/or extraction of the
fumes, or could indicate that the flue is obstructed or that there are
down-draughts which impede the proper evacuation of the smoke.
In this case there will ALWAYS be operating problems. Request
assistance from specialized personnel or advice from MCZ technicians.
