PELLET STOVES USE AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL Chapter 1 page 4 INTRODUCTION Dear customer, Thank you for choosing MCZ products and, in particular, a stove from the MCZ Pellet line. For optimal operation of the stove and to benefit fully from the heat and sense of well-being that the flame distributes throughout your home, we advise you to read this manual carefully before starting the stove up for the first time. Please remember that the pellet stove MUST NOT be used by children.
PELLET STOVES USE AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL Chapter 1 page 5 1. WARNINGS AND GUARANTEE TERMS 1.1. SAFETY WARNINGS Installation, electrical connection, functional check and maintenance of this appliance must only be performed by qualified or authorised personnel. Install the stove in accordance with the regulations in force in the relevant place, region or country.
PELLET STOVES USE AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL Chapter 1 page 6 operations make sure that the stove is disconnected from the mains power supply by pressing the general power switch on the back of the stove or removing the electrical cable that supplies the stove. 1.2. In the event of fire in the flue pipe, switch off the stove and disconnect it from the power supply. Never open the door. Call the competent authorities.
PELLET STOVES USE AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL Chapter 1 page 7 diameter pellets, for other European countries 6-8 mm diameter pellets) and supplied only by the automatic feed system. Check and clean the smoke outlet ducts regularly (connection to the flue pipe). Unburned pellets that build up in the burner following repeated failed start-ups must be removed before attempting to start up the stove again. The pellet stove is not a cooking appliance. Always keep the cover of the fuel tank closed.
PELLET STOVES USE AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL Chapter 1 page 8 1.4.1. Guarantee limits The aforementioned guarantee does not cover electrical and electronic parts or fans for which the guarantee period is one year from the date of purchase of the product, proven as indicated above. The guarantee does not cover parts subject to normal wear such as seals, glazing and all removable parts of the combustion chamber.
PELLET STOVES Chapter 2 USE AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL page 9 2. THEORETICAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR INSTALLATION 2.1. THE PELLET Pellets are obtained from sawdust drawing produced when working natural dried wood (unpainted). The compact nature of the material is ensured by the lignin that is contained in the wood itself and allows pellets to be produced without using glue or fixing materials. There are various types of pellet on the market, with characteristics that vary depending on the mix of wood used.
PELLET STOVES USE AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL Chapter 2 page 10 MCZ strongly recommends the use of certified fuel in its stoves (DINplus and Ö-Norm M7135). Using poor quality pellets or pellets that do not comply with the indications given above compromises the operation of your stove and may consequently lead to decline of the guarantee and liability for the product. MCZ pellet stoves operate only with pellets of 5 mm to max.
PELLET STOVES Chapter 2 USE AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL page 11 Air should enter through permanent apertures made in the walls (near the stove) that lead to the outside. These should have a minimum cross-section of 100 cm2. These apertures must be made so as not to be obstructed in any way. Air may also be taken from rooms adjoining the one to be ventilated, provided they are equipped with an external air inlet and are not used as bedrooms or bathrooms.
PELLET STOVES Chapter 2 USE AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL 2.4. page 12 CONNECTING THE EXTERNAL AIR INLET The room in which the stove is installed MUST provide at least as much airflow as is required for regular combustion of the appliance in the room. This can be achieved via permanent apertures made in the walls of the room to be ventilated, leading to the outside, or via individual or grouped ventilation ducts.
PELLET STOVES Chapter 2 USE AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL page 13 Always use pipes and connections with appropriate seals that guarantee air- and watertightness. All sections of the smoke duct must be accessible for inspection and removable (us a T-union with inspection point). This makes it possible to clean the inside of the stove regularly. Position the stove taking note of all the specifications and warnings underlined so far.
PELLET STOVES Chapter 2 USE AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL 2.6. page FLUE PIPE CONNECTION This type of connection (even when there is a temporary loss of current) ensures that smoke is discharged. 2.7. CONNECTION TO AN EXTERNAL DUCT USING AN INSULATED OR DOUBLE-WALL PIPE 1 0.5 mt. The inner dimensions of the flue pipe must not exceed 20 X 20 cm or a diameter of 20 cm. If the dimensions are larger or the flue pipe is in poor condition (e.g. cracks, poor insulation etc.
PELLET STOVES Chapter 2 USE AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL 2.9. OPERATING FAULTS ASSOCIATED DRAUGHT DEFECTS IN THE FLUE PIPE WITH Among all the weather and geographical conditions that have an impact on the operation of a flue pipe (rain, fog, snow, height above sea level, sun-shy periods, exposure to cardinal points etc.), wind is certainly the most crucial.

PELLET STOVES Chapter 3 USE AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL 3.4. page 21 CONNECTING THE HOT AIR DUCT Once the stove has been positioned correctly, you may start installing the hot air piping. The air can be channelled by fastening two hoses to the back of the stove to correspond with the holes at the top of the stove. To connect the pipe, remove the top, thread the pipe and fasten it with a clamp.
PELLET STOVES USE AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL Chapter 3 page 22 The room ventilation can be adjusted towards the rear wall only if there is suitable caulked ducting of the hot air flow. The air outlet pipe may reach very high temperatures (nearing 200 °C). It must therefore be insulated appropriately using suitable materials wherever it may come into contact with flammable or heatsensitive surfaces (e.g. fading of colours, electrical wireways, plasterboard, etc.).
