Dear customer

Congratulations to the purchase of your new Rüegg

pellet stove. We are convinced that this stove will be a

major part of your heating system. If installed by a

specialist the stove will bring the desired heating

performance right from the beginning.

Please read and execute specially the cleaning and

maintenance remarks and respect the indicated

cleaning intervals, to be sure that your appliance will

not get any damage due to non-sufficient cleaning

and you will have long lasting pleasure from your Kea

pellet stove!

Please keep this operation manual in a safe place in

order to present it to the local authorities or the

chimney sweep, if requested to do so. Public

regulations and standards relevant for wood firing

systems must always be observed.

Now we would like to wish you a pleasant time with

your new KEA pellet stove!

General warn and safety

instructions

Observance of the general introductory warning

information is vital.

xRead the complete manual carefully prior to

commissioning of the stove.

x Do only use approved transport aids with

adequate lift capacity for transport of your stove.

x The combustion of fuel releases thermal energy

that may cause strong heating of the surface of

the stove, the doors, the door and operation

handles, the door glasses, the flue tubes and

possibly the front panel of the stove. These parts

may not be touched without applicable protection

clothes or devices, such as thermal protection

gloves or operation devices (operation handle).

x Instruct your children on such special risks and

keep them away from the stove during heating

operation.

x Do not place not fire-resistant items on the stove

or near to it.

x Do not place wet clothes on the stove for drying.

x Clothes drier or similar must be positioned in a

safe distance to the stove – FIRE RISK!

x Do not process inflammable and explosive

materials in the same or in neighbouring rooms

while your stove is operated.

x The owner is responsible for the cleanness of

the stove at all times.

x The manufacturer’s warranty is valid only if the

initial commissioning with system acceptance

was performed by a service partner certified by

Rüegg, and a copy of the “report of system

acceptance” has been sent to Rüegg. The

service partners are in possession of a

certificated issued by Rüegg authorizing them for

service and repairing works on your pellet stove.

The packaging

The packaging of your new pellet stove offers optimal

protection against damages. However, damages to

stove and accessories might be caused during

transport.

Please check you pellet stove carefully for damages

and completeness after delivery! Any defects must be

notified immediately to your stove dealer! The

packaging is largely environmentally friendly.

The box and the film (PE) may be disposed off via the

communal waste collection points for recycling.

Pellets are made of wood waste from wood

processing plants and of waste wood from forest

holdings. The “initial products“ are crushed, dried and

pressed to the pellet “fuel“ without addition of any

binding agents.

Specifications for high- quality

pellets

Calorific value 5 kWh/kg

Density 630 kg/m³

Moisture max. 8% of weight

Ash proportion max. 1% of weight

Diameter 6 mm

Length max. 30 mm

Ingredients 100% wood untreated and without

any binding agents (bark proportion

max. 5%)

Packaging in bags made of environmentally

friendly or biologically degradable

plastic or of paper (2 to 4 layers,

similar to cement packaging)

Please ask your pellet stove dealer for certified fuel

and a list of controlled fuel producers. The use of low-

quality or inadmissible pellet fuel will impair the

functioning of your pellet stove and may result in the

loss of your warranty, the guaranty and the connected

product liability.

Observe waste incineration legislation!

Storage of pellets

To ensure trouble-free pellet combustion pellets

should be stored in a dry and clean place.

Technology

The state of the art of your new pellet stove is

ensured by years of laboratory and practice based

test series.

The practical benefits of your pellet stove are

convincing:

Ease of use – operational safety

Electronic monitoring combined with a combustion

temperature control monitors and controls the

interplay of flue fan, conveyor screw and temperature.

This control system ensures an optimal combustion

and operation condition. The operating effort is

reduced to the necessary minimum – this helps to

prevent faulty operation and ensures optimal

operation at the same time.

Highest efficiency – Lowest

emissions

A large heat exchanger surface combined with an

optimal combustion air control allows excellent fuel

efficiency.

Accurate dosing of pellets in an optimized high-quality

grey cast burner pot allows a nearly perfect

combustion with excellent emission specifications –

this is guaranteed for every operating phase.

KEA green in favour of the

environment

Wood pellets as a fuel are CO2neutral and

consequently environmentally friendly and

sustainable. In addition, all Rüegg stoves can be fitted

with a Fine particulate collector (option). This

makes them to the cleanest stoves in general with the

“Zumik®on“ fine particulate collector allowing to

reduce the already low fine particulate rate by around

another 90%!

The KEA pellet stove is optimally suited to be refitted

with such fine particulate collector by your special

dealer. Simply ask for the green kit.

Rüegg is the leading manufacturer for fine particulate

collectors for firewood and pellets furnaces. For

further information check our homepage

(www.zumikron.ch)

General instructions

For leveling of the stove the machine mounts under

the device can be adjusted in height and locked

(counter nut SW13).

The function of the smoke venting system is based on

negative pressure in the combustion chamber and a

minor surpressure on the flue gas outlet. Therefore

correct and airtight installation of the flue gas

connection must be ensured.

The device must be connected to a chimney approved

for solid fuels. The diameter of the chimney must be

at least 120mm. In case of a chimney with a diameter

exceeding 200mm and a certain height installation of

a draft reduction may be required. This is why you

should consult a chimney expert prior to installation of

the stove. In cooperation with the stove fitter who may

adjust the parameters of the control, the chimney

expert can ensure the proper connection of the stove

to the chimney.

IMPORTANT!

Only use heat resistant sealing materials and

applicable sealing bands, heat resistant silicone and

mineral wool.

We recommend charging an authorized expert with

the assembly (and/or control and acceptance for self

installation)!

Also ensure that the flue tube does not extend into the

free cross section of the chimney.

CAUTION!

x Please observe the applicable regional building

regulations. Ask your chimney sweep for advice.

x Flue pipes should not be too long.

x Avoid too many changes of direction for the flue

gas flow to the chimney. (e.g. too many corners

and bends)

In case of self installation the installation must be

accepted by a partner certified by Rüegg in order for

the warranty to be valid. The costs for the initial

commissioning with customer introduction and setting

of the parameters by the charged service partner are

in most cases charged separately. Ask your service

partner for a service subscription.

Electric connection

The stove is supplied with an approximately 2.5m long

connection cable with a Euro plug. Connect the cable

to a 220/230V, 50Hz power connection. For

installations in Switzerland replace the Euro plug by

the supplied plug. The average electric power

consumption during operation is approximately 100W.

During the automatic ignition process (duration

approximately 10 minutes) approximately 350W. The

connection cable must be laid in a way that any

contact with hot or sharp-edged external surfaces of

the stove is avoided.

Combustion air

Every combustion procedure requires oxygen and/or

air. For individual stoves this combustion air is

generally taken from the living area. The air taken

from the living area must be reintroduced. In modern

houses with very tight fitting windows and doors the

amount of air flowing back may not be enough. This

situation may also become problematic due to

additional ventilation in the house (e.g. in the kitchen

or toilet).

External air supply

This external air supply means, that this air is supplied

to the stoves adaption connector by means of a tube

or duct, directly from outside or from another room

(e.g. cellar or boiler room) This connector does not

lead directly into the combustion chamber, but to the

inside of the pellet stove. This has the advantage that

the stove can take exactly the amount of air it needs,

and that this air is already preheated by passing

through the room. If the stove is not used, there

should be a possibility to close this air supply as close

to the facade as possible, to prevent cold damp air to

flow into the duct and unnecessarily cool down the

room or at temperatures well underneath 0° C to

provoke condensation problems. Therefore it is

important to insulate the ducts and make sure that

eventual condensation fluid can run off freely in the

right direction.

Connecting the Rüegg room sensor

Disconnect stove from the power supply before

connecting the multi-pin plug. Subsequently carefully

tighten multi-pin plug on board using screws.

The white plastic casing is designed for wall

mounting. For this purpose holes for screws are

provided in the inside of the casing.

After mounting to the wall lock casing cover (min.

approximately. 2m distance to the stove).

Chimney

Only a correct calculation of the chimney according to

e.g. DIN 4705 guarantees a correct dimensioned

chimney. Especially in rather air tight houses (low

energy houses), the installation of a draft reducer

afterward s is almost impossible, because there may

be no direct contact between the outside air and the

room air. The chimney connection has to be executed

according to the national prescriptions that are in

force at that time.

Floor protection

Floor space: Due to its weight the firing installation

must be set up on a suitable, fire-resistant surface.

For minimum distances from the outer edges of the

stove to the base plate edges refer to the drawing.

Note: The indicated safety distances may differ from

the applicable legal regulations. Observe the

applicable local regulations for your country.

The glass or steel plate ensures protection of the floor

from the heat of the stove and from embers that might

fall down when the combustion chamber door is

opened.

Especially for flammable floors (wood, carpet, etc.) a

floor protection is required!

Safety distances

For flammable objects:

(Measured from the outside of the stove):

-20 cm from the back and the sides

-80 cm from the front

For non flammable objects:

(Measured from the outside of the stove):

- 10 cm from the back and the sides

- 40 cm from the front

Note: If the flue tube is lead vertically behind the stove

before entering the chimney, the safety distance from

the outside of the tube to the wall or to objects must

be respected.

Simple operating mode

The default setting is the simple operating mode (display shows: EASY OFF). This mode allows very easy operation.

In the EASY mode only switching on or off the pellet stove and selecting of the heating performance is possible.

Switching on: Press I/O button for a short while. The start-up phase will be introduced and the display

IGNIT (ignition) will appear. It can take for up to 5 minutes until the fire is ignited. After the

ignition phase the start-up phase will be introduced automatically (display shows START)

causing all pellets in the combustion pot to ignite as fast as possible and in order to

generate high heat in the combustion chamber to ensure an efficient combustion. After

the start-up phase the selected power level is shown on the display (e.g. EASY 55).

Switching off: Press I/O button and hold for 2 seconds. The burn-out phase will now be introduced

(display EASY OFF). If the number of pellets in the combustion pot is not enough the

pellet stove will automatically add some pellets to ensure a clean burn-out. (The burn-out

phase cannot be introduced during the start-up phase.)

Increase performance: Press PLUS button for a short while. The display shows the current heating performance

in %. By pressing the PLUS button several times the heating performance can be

increased to up to 100%.

Decrease performance: Press MINUS button for a short while. The display shows the current heating performance

in %. By pressing the MINUS button several times the heating performance can be

decreased until 30%.

Your KEA pellet stove can also be operated in fully automatic mode by the thermostat or by selecting the heating

time. If you like to use this comfortable mode or want to perform further settings you need to change to advanced

operating mode first. (see page 11, changing to advanced operating mode).

Important information on how to use the menu (illustrations)

The illustrations below always depart from the display field in the oval frame. The illustrations in these operating

instructions show the display screens and the buttons that have to be pressed in order to access the next screen (in

the direction of the arrow).

In the main menu tree illustration (page 12) you will find a number in a circle below or next to some menu items. On

the following pages the same number in a circle will be shown to indicate that the instruction for the corresponding

menu item is continued.

In order to benefit from the various options offered by the pellet stove in advanced mode you should take your time

to read the operating instructions thoroughly.

Changing to advanced operating mode

The advanced operating mode is accessed by pressing and holding the MENU button for at least 5 seconds while

the stove is switched off (EASY OFF) (see illustration). The display will change to HEAT OFF or to the function mode

display which has been selected when the advanced operating mode was closed the last time (variable mode

display, see next section).

The advanced operating mode offers three alternatives on how to operate the stove:

HEAT mode: (manual operation) operation by selecting the heating performance. (page13 “heating in the

HEAT mode“)

ROOM mode: (thermostat controlled operation) operation by selecting the required room temperature.

(page13 “heating in ROOM mode“)

AUTO mode: (automatic operation) programming of the heating times and temperature. (page 14 “heating

in the AUTO mode“)

To return to simple operating mode press the MENU button for 5 seconds.

Variable mode display

When selecting the advanced operating mode the display will not show EASY but the name of the current selected

mode. This means that the variable mode display will show HEAT,ROOM or AUTO, according to the selected

function (see illustration main menu tree next page). In addition, the display will show the current activity of the pellet

stove: It will show IGNIT for ignition, START for the start-up phase, STANDBY for the stand-by phase or STOP if the

required temperature has been reached in AUTO or ROOM mode.

The particularity of the variable mode display is the varying information shown on the display on the same position of

the main menu tree (illustration on the following page). This means that the varying screens in the variable mode

display can be the departing point for the main menu tree.

The menu item INFO shows information mainly used by the service partner.

Supplementary information

IMPORTANT! The initial commissioning of your device may only be carried out when fully fitted and by a certified

Rüegg service partner. The service partner will also set the parameters of the control, if required, to ensure an

optimal interplay with your chimney. In addition you will receive an introduction concerning the operation and

maintenance of the pellet stove.

Your pellet stove is exclusively approved for burning pellets made from wood of a controlled quality. Combustion of

non-pelletized solid fuels (straw, maize, chopped matter, etc.) is not permitted!

Failure to adhere to these guidelines will make all guarantee and warranty claims null and void and could have a

negative effect on the safety of your stove!

CAUTION!

In case of an overheating state maintenance and

cleaning works must be carried out!

Low Temperature cut off

If the stove cools down to a minimum temperature

during operation, it will stop. This cut off can also

occur in case of delayed ignition, e.g. if no more

pellets are fed.

Electric overcurrent protection

The overcurrent protection of the stove is ensured by

a slow 1.6A main fuse (on the back of device, see

picture).

(See “specifications“ page 31)

In the event of an overcurrent event the fuse must be

replaced. The fuse can be accessed by removing the

plastic screw.

(see image on page 25)

Door contact switch

When the combustion chamber door is opened during

operation the feeding of pellets will be stopped and

the flue fan will run with maximum speed. When the

door is open a traversing error message "DOOR

OPEN” will be shown on the display. Pellet feeding

and ignition will not restart until door is closed.

External locking

If the cable bridge at the thermostat connector is

missing or is removed during operation the device will

stop after a few minutes. After re-establishing the

contact the device will restart.

(see „EXT“ page 16/17)

Fan stop delay for all error messages

The fan stop delay occurs for all error situations and

at least until the flame sensor identifies a temperature

exceeding 100°C.

System stop in case of flame sensor failure

In the event of a failure of the flame sensor in the

combustion chamber the pellet feeding will be

stopped and the fan will run for another 10 minutes.

Power failure during operation

After a power failure the flame temperature will be

checked. If the temperature exceeds 300°C the

device will not attempt to restart but continue the

normal operation.

Below 300°C: Normal start process with ignition

cartridge. The stove must be started manually via the

operation panel.

Power failure during ignition process

The ignition process will be carried out by use of the

ignition cartridge after reestablishment of the power

supply.

Electric ignition

The pellet stove is equipped with an electric ignition

system. The electric ignition is operated when the

stove start-up program is initiated. Ignition duty cycle:

approximately 10 min.

IMPORTANT!

If the electric ignition is faulty please request a service

or repair visit.

Firing- up without electric ignition:

In case of the electric ignition being faulty proceed as

follows:

1.Check if the pellet container is filled and the

combustion chamber is clean and free from

impurities.

2.Place approved firelighters in the fire pan and cover

with a small handful of pellets.

CAUTION!

Do not use flammable liquids (e.g. burning spirit) for

firing-up the stove!

3.Light the firelighter in the fire pan using a match and

close the stove door carefully. Press the I/O button

to start the stove.

Pellet consumption

The pellet consumption depends on the heating

output. The pellet stove can be used permanently

without any concerns and free from risk; however, we

recommend that you reduce the heating output

overnight and when the room is left for a longer

period.

In case of any inquiries regarding the pellets please

contact your certified dealer.

(Further information on the pellets: page 4)

Fuel feed

IMPORTANT! Avoid contact of pellet bag with the hot

stove during fuel feeding!

Remove any pellets that have not been put in the

storage container immediately!

To prevent the fire from going out due to lack of fuel,

we recommend that an adequate filling level is

maintained in the storage container. A 15kg bag of

pellets can be fed to your pellet stove when the filling

of the pellet container is less than 2kg. Check the

filling level regularly. The container lid should,

however, always be kept closed unless the container

is being filled.

Prior to refilling pellets use a vacuum cleaner to clear

the pellet container from wood dust.

Use the supplied glove when filling the storage

container.
