How they work

The fuel (pellets) is taken from the storage hopper (A) and delivered to the combustion chamber (D) by a screw feeder (B) driven by a gearmotor (C). The pellets are then ignited by hot air produced by a heating element (E) which is drawn into the combustion chamber by a centrifugal fan (M). The combustion smoke produced is drawn out of the firebox by the same centrifugal fan (M), and expelled from the outlet (F) at the bottom rear of the pellet fire.

Air is blown into the hollow space at the back of the firebox by a fan (G), where it is heated before coming out into the room from the front grille (I). The amount of fuel and the smoke extraction/combustion air supply are controlled by an electronic circuit board (N) in order to achieve highly efficient fuel consumption.

All operating stages are managed and displayed using the display-control panel (L) and two knobs on the front panel under the door (Little Model only) which allow all operating stages to be managed and displayed. The same functions may also be managed by remote control (optional).

The pellet hopper is at the top of the pellet fire. The hopper is filled through a lid found at the back of the top The internal structure of the pellet fire is completely made of cast iron. The external covering of the Iris Plus is ceramic, and the external covering of the Little is metal.
