The chimney stack is a device fitted on the top of the chimney that is designed to
aid dispersion of the products of combustion in the atmosphere.
The chimney stack must comply with the following requirements:
- it must have an internal section and shape the same as the flue (A);
- it must have a useful outlet section (B) of not less than twice that of the flue (A);
- the part of the chimney that emerges from the roof or remains in contact with the
outside (e.g. in the case of a flat roof), must be covered with brick or tile elements
and in any case well insulated;
- It must be built in such a way as to prevent the penetration of rain, snow and
foreign matter into the flue and to ensure that in the event of winds from all
directions and angle, discharge of the combustion products is assured (chimney
stack with down-draught cowl).

Recommended distances for correct chimney operation.
To ensure trouble-free operation of the chimney and allow correct dilution of the
products of combustion in the air, the chimney stack must be installed at the
distances given below:
- 6 - 8 metres from any buildings or other obstacles that are higher than the
chimney stack;
- 50 centimetres higher than any obstacles located at a distance less than 5 metres;
- outside the reflux area. The size and shape of this area differ according to the angle
of inclination of the roof and it is therefore necessary to adopt the minimum
heights shown below.
6-8 m
DT2030052-00
Example: Check the slope of the roof (column α), and the anticipated distance of
the chimney stack from the axis of the ridge (column A); if the distance is greater
than “A” the height of the chimney stack may be read in (column H); if the distance
is less than “A” the chimney stack must rise above the ridge by 0.5 metres.

1.4 FRESH AIR INTAKE - Fig. 12 / 15
Fig. 12
The airflow necessary for the fire may be obtained in different ways:
- through a fresh air intake direct into the room of installation;
- with ducting through pipes direct to the room of installation, increasing
the recommended minimum free cross section by at least 15%;
- from an adjacent room to the place of installation provided this air flows
freely through permanent apertures communicating with the outside.
Fig. 13
English
To ensure trouble-free operation the stove/fireplace must have the
necessary air available for combustion and this is provided through the
fresh air intake.
The fresh air intake must:
- have a total free cross section at least equal to the size given in the
paragraph “TECHNICAL DATA”;
- be protected by a grille or suitable guard provided it does not reduce
the minimum recommended section;
- be in a position whereby it cannot be obstructed.
DT2030054-00
DT2030193-00
Fig. 14
The adjacent room from which air is taken must not have a low
pressure compared to the exterior due to a counter draught
caused by the presence in that room of another appliance in
use or of a suction device.
The permanent apertures in the adjacent room must comply
with the requirements given above.
DT2030194-00
Fig. 15
Combustion air must not be taken from adjacent rooms used
as a garage or a combustible materials store or for activities
posing a fire hazard.
DT2030195-00
DT2010033-01
1.5 INSTALLATION ENVIRONMENT
The appliance should be installed in a location which allows safe and convenient use as well as easy maintenance. If the product being installed
requires an electrical socket, the room must also be provided with an earthed power supply in accordance with current regulations.
The room where the appliance is to be installed must comply with the following requirements:
they must not be used as a garage, store for combustible material or for activities with a risk of fire.
They must not be in a vacuum in relation to the outside environment due to the effect of contrary draught caused by the presence in
the room where the fi replace is installed of another appliance or an extractor device.
Do not use two stoves, a fireplace and a stove, a stove and a wood-fired cooking range, etc. in the same environment, since the draught
of one could affect the draught of the other.
- Devices suitable for cooking food with relative hoods without an extractor fan may only be used in kitchens.
- Gas appliances of type C are allowed (refer to current legislation and regulations in the place of installation)
Gas appliances of type B are not allowed (refer to current legislation and regulations in the place of installation)
H07022850 / DT2000426 - 00
SUPERIOR
®

English
The stove or fireplace must not be used simultaneously with collective type ventilation ducts with or without extractor fan, other devices
or other appliances such as: forced ventilation systems or other heating systems using ventilation to change the air. Such systems could
cause a vacuum in the environment of installation even if installed in adjoining or communicating rooms.
The stove or fireplace must not be used: in stairwells except in buildings with no more than two apartments; in corridors for common
use; in bedrooms; in bathrooms or shower-rooms.
DT2010032-00
1.6 CAPACITY LOAD OF THE FLOOR
Check the load-bearing capacity of the floor, referring to the weight of the product given in the paragraph “TECHNICAL DATA”.
If the floor does not have a suitable load-bearing capacity, adequate countermeasures must be taken, for example, by using a sheet metal plate to
distribute the load.
DT2010130-01
1.7 HEATING CAPACITY
Check the heating capacity of the appliance by comparing the rated power given in the paragraph “TECHNICAL DATA” with the power required by the
environment to be heated.
The energy requirement may be calculated approximately by multiplying the square metres of area by the height of the ceiling; the result is then
multiplied by a coefficient, which depends on the degree of insulation of the building, that is, on internal and external factors of the dwelling:
a) Internal factors: type of window and door frames, thickness of the insulation and walls, type of building materials, presence of stairwells, walls with
extensive glazing, high ceilings, position of the rooms to be heated in relation to other adjacent heated or unheated rooms, …
b) External factors: geographical position, average outdoor temperature, exposure, wind speed, latitude, altitude, …
Example of approximate calculation of the energy requirement to heat a fixed volume to 18/20° C:
The coefficient that is normally used is determined according to the real conditions as they occur case by case.
- From 0.04 to 0.05 kW per cubic metre in a well insulated environment
- From 0.05 to 0.06 kW per cubic metre in a poorly insulated environment.
3 rooms measuring 20m2 X (H ceiling) 2.7m = 162 m3 (volume)
In an environment with a good degree of insulation, an average value (coefficient) of 0.045 kW may be taken
162 (volume) X 0.045 (kW) = 7.3 kW necessary (6300 kcal/h)
Conversion 1kW = 860 kcal/h
Consult a heating technician or engineer for a correct check and calculation of the requirement of the environments to be heated (see
“REFERENCE STANDARDS”).

1.9 FLUEWAY - Fig. 19 - 20
The pellet stove is not the same as other stoves. It has a forced
draught of flue gas by a fan, which keeps the firebox in a vacuum
and the entire flueway slightly pressurised. For this reason the
flue must be completely airtight and correctly installed to ensure
both trouble-free operation and user safety.
- The flueway must be made by specialised personnel or firms, as outlined
below.
- The flue must be installed in such a way as to guarantee that periodic
cleaning can be carried out without dismantling any parts whatsoever.
- Pipes should always be sealed with silicone (not cement-based sealants)
or specially adapted gaskets/seals, which retain their strength and
elasticity at high temperatures (250°C), and should be fixed with 3.9 mm
ø self-tapping screws.
Do not install dampers or valves that could block the passage of
flue gas.
Do not connect to a flueway into which other appliances (boilers,
extractor hoods, etc.) discharge fumes or vapours.

Pipes and maximum usable lengths
Pipes of painted aluminium-clad steel (minimum thickness
1.5mm), stainless steel (AISI 316) or enamelled steel (minimum
thickness 0.5mm) with a nominal diameter of 80 or 100 mm (for
pipes which run inside the flue maximum diameter 150 mm) can be
used.
The male-female connectors must have a minimum length of 50
mm.
The diameter of the pipes depends on the type of installation. The
stove was designed to take 80 mm diameter pipes but, as shown
in Table 1, in some cases the use of double-lined 100 mm diameter
pipes is recommended.

The use of this type of fitting must allow for the collection of
condensate mixed with soot, which builds up inside the pipe. It must
also permit periodic cleaning of the flue without the need to
disassemble the pipes.
This type of fitting can be bought at Superior retail outlets together
with the pipes.
An example is given below of a flueway connection, which allows
complete cleaning without having to disassemble the pipes (Fig 20).

Pipes and bends made by Gruppo Piazzetta S.p.A. are recommended
for connection to the flueway, since they are sized to fit the flue outlet
of the appliance.
Other pipes may be applied after adaptation and checking of the
compatibility of the coupling, taking into account that the pipes and
bends must be made in compliance with current regulations. In this
case, however, Gruppo Piazzetta S.p.A. only guarantees trouble-free
operation for parts that it manufactures and that are used according to
specifications.

Connection to the flue must respect the 40cm minimum safety
distance from heat-sensitive structural components or inflammable
materials (wood panelling, beams or ceilings, etc). (See figures 17-18).
- If the connector has to pass through partitions or walls of inflammable
or heat-sensitive materials, or through load-bearing walls, create:
an insulating barrier equal to or greater than 10cm around the
connector using mineral-based insulating material (rock wool,
ceramic fibre) with a nominal density greater than 80kg/m3.

If you wish to use an existing chimney it is strongly recommended that
you have it checked by a professional chimneysweep to ensure that it
is completely airtight. The reason for this is that the smoke, because it
is slightly pressurised, can infiltrate any cracks in the flue and escape
into living spaces. If upon inspection you find that the chimney is not
completely sound, it is recommended that you insert piping made of
new material. If the existing chimney is wide enough we recommend a
pipe with a maximum diameter of 150mm. It is also recommended that
you insulate the chimney flue (Fig. 21-22).

3.0 FUEL
The wood pellet is obtained by pressing wood sawdust left over from the
working of natural dried wood. The typical small, cylindrical form is obtained
by passing the material through a die. Thanks to lignin, a natural element
which is released during the pressing of the raw material, the pellets acquire
a good consistency and compactness without requiring treatment with
additives or caking agents.
There are various types of pellet on the market with qualities and
characteristics that vary depending on the processes they have undergone
and the type of wood used in their production.
Since the characteristics and quality of the pellet considerably affect
stove performance, efficiency and proper operation, we recommend that
you use high-quality pellets.
Gruppo Piazzetta S.p.A has tested and programmed its stoves and can
ensure best performance and trouble-free operation using pellets with
the following specific characteristics:
Pellet characteristics
Components
natural pure wood pellet
Length, approx.
10 – 30 mm
Diameter, approx.
6 – 6.5 mm
Apparent density, approx.

Specific weight, approx.
> 1.0 kg/dm3
Net heat value, approx.
5 kWh/kg
Moisture content, approx.
< 8%
Residual ash, approx.
<0.5%
N.B. the above data refer to beech/fir wood pellets
-
reduces efficiency
means that proper stove operation cannot be guaranteed
causes dirt to build up on the glass
leaves particles which have failed to burn and heavy cinders
The presence of moisture in the pellets increases their volume and
causes them to split which in turn causes:
- malfunction of the fuel-loading system
- inefficient combustion
Pellets should be stored in a sheltered, dry place.
To use good quality pellets with dimensions and heat-producing properties
other than those recommended above, it will be necessary to change the
stove operating parameters.
This “customisation” of stove settings must be carried out at a
Gruppo Piazzetta S.p.A. Service Centre or by specially qualified
personnel authorised by Gruppo Piazzetta S.p.A.
Using pellets that are out of date or not in conformity with the
manufacturer’s recommendations not only damages the stove and
jeopardises its performance, but can render the guarantee null and
void and relieves the manufacturer of all liability.
.
To ensure trouble-free operation:
DO NOT use pellets with dimensions other than those recommended by the
manufacturer
DO NOT use poor quality pellets containing sawdust, bark, maize, resins or
chemical substances, additives or adhesives.
DO NOT use damp pellets.
Fig. 24
Choosing other and unsuitable pellets:
- obstructs the grate and flue gas pipes
- increases fuel consumption

• Before lighting the stove for the first time, check that the grate is properly placed and pushed back towards the baffle plate.
• There will be odours when lighting the first few times due to the evaporation of paints and oils used during the manufacturing process.
During this stage, air the room well where the stove is installed and avoid staying there any length of time since the fumes being given off could be harmful to persons or pets.
The stove body should have settled down and the paints fully evaporated after having lit the stove a few times.
To this end, follow the instructions given below when using the stove.
• Operate at medium power for the first 5-6 hours after igniting the fuel (the expansion caused by the heat during this stage will allow the stove body to settle).
• After the settling-down stage the stove must be set to operate at maximum power for a period between 6 and 10 hours, depending on the amount of paint on the stove
body that must be evaporated off.
The time indicated for operation at maximum power does not necessarily have to be continuous, but may be divided up into two periods separated by an interval of at least
3-4 hours with the stove shut down.
At the end of the recommended period the paint will have evaporated and the stove should be used at the suitable power for normal use.
If necessary the stove may be used for a further period at maximum power to ensure complete and final disappearance of all paint residue.
When the hopper is being loaded for the first time the loading auger needs time to fill up; during this stage the pellets are not distributed inside the firebox and it is highly
probable that the first attempt at ignition fails. If the alarm is activated, shut down the stove by pressing the ON/OFF key for a few moments, remove the fuel in the grate and
then set the stove for a new ignition process.
DT2010192-00
6.3 STARTUP AND NORMAL OPERATION
Before proceeding with the ignition remember:
ensure that the furnace door is well closed;
• that the fuel tank is full or at least contains enough fuel to run for the desired period.
When the stove is connected to the power supply, but is not yet lit, the display will show the current time on the left (example 12:30) and the word OFF on the right.

- If during the startup phase the sensor on the exhaust
outlet shows an increase in temperature (sign that the
combustion process is underway), the stove is
considered to be lit and operating normally.
- If during the startup phase the sensor at the exhaust
outlet does NOT show an increase in temperature (sign
that the combustion process is not underway), the
stove should be considered off; a new ignition cycle will
begin automatically and the three preceding phases will
be repeated in succession.

• The startup up process will be activated as detailed
above.
If the appliance does not ignite properly the main cause could be either insufficient maintenance (consequently refer to the “Maintenance”
section) or the poor quality of the pellets (refer to the “Fuel” section). It is therefore recommended to check as above before attempting to relight
the appliance.
If the stove occasionally fails to ignite it could be caused by:
- pellet composition or size not in compliance with the specifications given in this booklet (see the “FUEL” section);
- insufficient mains voltage, whether in the form of intermittent voltage drops or a constantly lower value.
In the above cases any call-out of the service centre is not covered by the warranty, since the problem is not due to a defect in the product.
DT2040044-03
NORMAL OPERATION
Action
Description
Display
Once ignited successfully, the stove will function
normally.
• In the right part of the display the word ‘on’ will
appear followed by the chosen power setting (1-5).
The left part will show the room temperature or the
current time
(SEE ‘ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION OF THE
TEMPERATURE/TIME DISPLAY’ BELOW).
During normal operation the user can regulate:
• power level, choosing one of FIVE settings (keys 5
and 6)
• The desired room temperature from 7°C to 30 °C (press
SET then keys 1 and 2).
If during normal operation the power level is lowered
from 5 to 1, the fan (after a pause of 15 seconds) will
run at maximum power for around four minutes,
allowing the stove to cool down.
During normal operation the burner’s automatic
cleaning system will activate periodically, the
frequency varying according to the settings preprogrammed by Superior personnel. This operation
removes ash deposits and other buildups which
impede the correct functioning of the stove.

6.6 SAFETY DEVICES
During operation some parts of the stove (door, handle, ceramic parts) can reach high temperatures.
Remember to maintain the safety distances indicated previously.
Be careful, take all due precautions and always comply with the instructions.
If during operation smoke leaks from any part of the stove or the flue, shut the stove down immediately and ventilate the room. When the stove
has cooled, check for the cause of the leak and if necessary call in specialist personnel.
The stove is fitted with several safety devices to guarantee safe operation.
The safety devices are fitted to eliminate the risk of injury to people and pets and damage to property. Tampering or work carried
out by unauthorised personnel can jeopardise this function.
Possible warnings of problems

6.7 OPENING THE DOOR - Fig. 33
During operation the door must remain closed. It is to be opened
only when the stove has been shut down and cooled for the
carrying out of maintenance.
Use the door handle tool provided in the kit to open the door, using

6.8 DISPOSAL OF ASHES
Ash from natural (non-treated) wood burned in stoves or open fireplaces is composed mainly of calcium, silicon, potassium and
magnesium oxides. The ashes can therefore be used as a fertiliser for plants or in the garden, albeit not exceeding 2.6 kg per 10m2
annually
The ashes should be placed in a metal container with a sealed cover. The sealed container should be placed on a noncombustible surface at a safe distance from combustible materials until the cinders have been completely extinguished.
Only when they have been fully extinguished can the ashes be thrown away with organic waste, assuming that nails or other
non-organic material are not present.

7.0 MAINTENANCE
Pursuant to current regulations on the safety of electrical equipment, you must contact a Superior After-Sales Service Centre or a qualified
electrician for all and any work connected with installation, maintenance or servicing that involves access to electrical parts.
Maintenance is to be considered compulsory for correct and efficient stove operation. If maintenance is not carried out with the recommended
frequency, stove performance could suffer. The manufacturer will not be responsible for stove deterioration or malfunction if due to poor
maintenance.
All maintenance work (cleaning, any replacements, etc.) must be carried out when the stove is shutdown and cold.
Do not use materials that could scratch or damage the glass, since scratches could become cracks. Under no circumstances use abrasive
DT2010057-02
substances.
DT2010156-04
7.1 CLEANING THE GRATE AND THE GRATE SUPPORT - Fig. 34-35
Fig. 34
Clean the grate area periodically (approx. once every two days) and
whenever the stove is to be lit:
• Remove the grate baffle plate and lift out the grate.
• Remove any ash or other material that may have built up, taking
particular care to free any clogged holes using a sharp pointed
tool.
• Make sure the “ignition hole”, located on the rear of the grate, is
kept clean.
• Check the grate support and remove any ash.
GRATE BAFFLE PLATE
GRATE
ASH DRAWER
DT2030632-00
Fig. 35
IGNITION HOLE
The frequency of cleaning depends on how much the stove is used
and the quality of the fuel
After cleaning and before lighting the stove, check that the
grate is correctly inserted and pushed back towards the
lower rear baffle. Refit the grate baffle plate.
DT2030239-02
DT2010100-03
7.2 CLEANING THE ASH DRAWER
Every two days, check the ash drawer to see if it needs emptying. For the disposal of ashes see section 6.8.
DT2010199-03
7.3 CLEANING THE FIREBOX – Fig. 34 / 40
Fig. 36
The firebox should be cleaned once a week as follows:
• remove the grate and the ash drawer (Fig. 34).
• Remove the internal baffle plate by raising it slightly using the
flaps as handles, if necessary loosening the two screws fixing the
side baffle plates (Fig. 37 - 38), then rotate it and tilt it in order to
slide it out of the firebox (Fig. 39 - 40).
• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any ash from the firebox.
• Having cleaned the firebox thoroughly, replace the parts in the
reverse order to above, paying particular attention to the
positioning of the internal baffle plate: it should sit snugly on the
catches on the sides of the firebox (the two catches must remain
in front of the baffle plate).
DT2030288-00

7.4 CLEANING THE SMOKE CHAMBER - Fig. 41 / 45
Once a year clean the smoke chamber as follows:
• Remove the screw which secures the lower front cladding, then
raise the cladding element slightly and pull it towards you (Fig.
41).
• Remove the seven screws which secure the front cover of the
chamber (Fig. 42).
• Remove the screws which secure the smoke duct cover, then lift
it slightly and take it out by pulling it towards you (Fig. 43 – 44).
• Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any ash and carbon deposits
which can accumulate in the chamber, paying particular attention
not to damage the blades of the fan (Fig. 45).
• After cleaning the chamber thoroughly, refit the cover and if
necessary replace the gasket.

7.6 CLEANING THE CERAMIC CLADDING
The ceramic cladding must first be cleaned with a soft dry cloth before using any detergent (even mild detergent).
Products are available on the market which are suitable for cleaning ceramics as well as concentrated products for cleaning porcelain. These will
remove oil, ink, coffee and wine stains, etc.
NEVER SOAK THE CERAMIC CLADDING OR CLEAN IT WITH COLD WATER WHEN IT IS STILL HOT AS THE THERMAL SHOCK COULD CAUSE IT TO CRACK.
DT2010061-03
7.7 CLEANING THE ENAMELLED METAL PARTS
When cleaning the enamelled metal parts of the product use a soft cloth moistened with water.
NEVER CLEAN METALLIC PARTS USING ALCOHOL, SOLVENTS, PETROLEUM-BASED PRODUCTS, ACETONES OR OTHER DEGREASING OR
ABRASIVE SUBSTANCES.
In the event of such substances being used the manufacturer will not be responsible for any damage caused.
Discolouration of metallic parts may be the result of misuse.

7.8 CLEANING THE GLASS (DAILY)
The glass should be cleaned when cold using ammonia-based degreasing agents and not corrosive substances such as solvents.
If the appliance is very slow to heat up in the ignition phase due to fuel that isn’t completely dry, this is likely to cause a build-up of tar on the glass. This
will eventually burn off when the secondary air supply is opened (if the appliance is equipped accordingly) or when the appliance is operating at full capacity.
If the tar is left to build up over a long period it will require more effort to remove
We therefore recommend that the glass be cleaned daily before lighting the stove.
Do not use any material that could scratch or spoil the glass, as scratches may develop into cracks or breaks.
DT2010093-05
7.9 REPLACING THE WINDOW
The stove is fitted with a 4mm thick glass panel, resistant to thermal shock up to 750ºC; the glass can only be broken by heavy impact or misuse. Do not
slam the door or hit the window. In case of breakage replace only with a Gruppo Piazzetta spare part. To replace, proceed as follows:
• wear protective gloves;
• remove the door and lie it flat;
• loosen the screws visible on the inside of the door;
• remove the frame and glass carefully;
• if the fibreglass seal and glazing bead have deteriorated, replace them;
• change the glass panel then replace the frame, tightening the screws carefully but not excessively;
• remount the door.
If other problems occur, consult your nearest retailer.
7.10
REPLACING THE REMOTE CONTROL BATTERY
DT2010094-00
To change the battery proceed as follows: using a small Philips head screwdriver, remove the screw on the back of the handset. Then holding it
upside down remove the back casing. Replace the battery (type A23 12V) being careful not to reverse the polarity (the battery type and polarity
are shown on the back of the handset). Close the handset and dispose of the old battery in the appropriate way.
If the problem persists contact your nearest retailer or Centre for Technical Assistance.
7.11
DT2010095-06
CLEANING THE FANS
Any cleaning or maintenance work must be carried out after the CURRENT HAS BEEN SWITCHED OFF.
The stove is fitted with fans (smoke extractor and heating) positioned at the bottom rear of the stove. Any build-up of dust or ash on the blades can unbalance
them resulting in noise during operation.
It is necessary to have the fans cleaned annually. Since such an operation involves dismantling certain parts of the stove, have the cleaning carried out only
by a Piazzetta Service Centre or other qualified persons.
7.12
DT2010096-03
WHEN NOT IN USE
When shutting the stove down for the summer, proceed as follows:
• remove all pellets from the hopper and feeding auger;
• carefully clean the grate, the grate support, the firebox and the ash drawer;
• clean the flue thoroughly: contact a professional chimneysweep for this purpose;
• clean all dust, cobwebs, etc. from the area behind the inner lining panels once a year, in particular the fans.
• Disconnect the power cable from the power supply.
7.13
DT2010097-03
EXTRAORDINARY MAINTENANCE
The following maintenance should be carried out ONCE A YEAR and is necessary to ensure efficient and safe stove operation.
• Clean the firebox thoroughly.
• Clean and inspect the flue.
• Check the condition of seals and gaskets.
• Clean mechanical and moving parts (motors and fans).
• Check electrical and electronic components.

Some of the problems indicated below may be resolved by following the instructions. All work must be carried out when the
appliance is cold and disconnected from the electricity supply (pull out the plug).
Authorised qualified persons must be contacted, in accordance with current regulations, whenever it is necessary to work on parts
inside the cladding or the firebox in order to resolve the problem. It is therefore recommended that only “Gruppo Piazzetta S.p.A.”
authorised Service Centres be contacted. Whenever authorised Service Centre personnel carry out work, they must show an identity
card issued by Gruppo Piazzetta S.p.A. on which the following are printed: name of the Service Centre, stamp and signature of the
company and the period of validity of the actual document.
Unauthorised tampering with the appliance or the use of other than original spare parts not only creates situations of risk for
operator safety, but invalidates the warranty and relieves the manufacturer from all liability.
