Key Technologies and Features

• CLEAR: An additional air channel creates an air cushion between the flame and the ceramic glass, ensuring the glass remains clean for extended periods.
• HERMETIC SYSTEM: This system draws combustion air directly from outside, preserving indoor air quality.
• PELLET PILOT: Works with the SONDA K to control pellet load based on the stove's power output, optimizing consumption.
• RDCS (Ravelli Double Cleaning System): The self-cleaning brazier performs a double automatic cleaning cycle, first with excess oxygen, then cleaning the base.
• RFS (Ravelli Flow System): Exclusive to ducted stoves, this system allows direct control over heat distribution in different rooms to achieve ideal temperatures.
• SMART FIREPOT: A micro-cast self-cleaning brazier designed for improved cleaning and maximized energy efficiency.
• SONDA K: Detects flame temperature in the combustion chamber for reliable and rapid control during ignition, shutdown, and automatic hot re-ignition.
• TOTAL KONTROL: The combination of RDCS and SONDA K for enhanced efficiency and functionality.

Adjusting Heat Output

Use the touch control panel to adjust the desired heat output. The stove will automatically regulate pellet feeding and fan speed to maintain the set temperature. The RFS system allows you to manage heat distribution to different ducted zones.

4. Maintenance

Regular maintenance is essential for the longevity and efficient operation of your pellet stove.

Daily/Weekly Cleaning

• Ash Drawer (CASSETTO CENERE): Empty the ash drawer regularly. The frequency depends on usage, but typically every 1-3 days.
• Brazier (Braciere autopulente): While the brazier is self-cleaning, occasional manual inspection and removal of any stubborn residue is recommended.
• Glass: Use a specialized glass cleaner for wood stoves to clean the ceramic glass. The CLEAR system helps reduce soot buildup, but periodic cleaning is still necessary.

Seasonal Maintenance

• At the end of each heating season, perform a thorough cleaning of the entire stove, including the flue pipes and internal components.
• It is recommended to have a qualified technician inspect and service the stove annually.
