REMARKS ON INSTALLATION
Note that:
• The appliance may only be installed by a qualified
technician authorised to issue the declaration of
conformity.
• The appliance must be installed and operated
in compliance with local and national law and
European regulations. The applicable Italian
regulation is UNI 10683.
• If installed in a condominium, the appliance must
be approved by the administrator.
We give some general instructions below, however
these do not obviate the need to comply with local
regulations and do not affect the installer’s liability for
the installation.
Checking the suitability of the installation
space
• The room must have a volume of at least 30 m
3
• The floor must be able to bear the weight of the
product and its accessories.
• Level the appliance
• The appliance may not be installed in a bedroom,
bathroom or in the same room as other equipment
which draws air for combustion from the room
itself, or in any area with an explosive atmosphere.
Any extraction fans operating in the same room or
area as the product, may affect its draw.
• In Italy, check the compatibility pursuant to UNI
10683 and UNI 7129 in the presence of gas fired
products.
Protection from heat and safety clearances
All adjacent surfaces must be protected against
overheating.The insulation to be used will depend on
the type of surface in question.Observe the following
clearances from flammable materials:
- 10 cm at the sides and back
Positioning the product
The product is designed to operate in all climatic
conditions. In special circumstances, such as strong
wind, its safety equipment may switch the fireplace off.
Contact the authorised Edilkamin Technical Assistance
Centre.
INSTALLATION
FLUE SYSTEM
(Fumes duct, flue and chimney pot)
Thsi chapter has been drawn up pursuant to European
regulations EN 13384, EN 1443, EN 1856 and EN
1457. The installer must observe both these and any
other local regulations. This manual does not in any
way substitute such regulations.The product must
be connected to a flue system which ensures that
the fumes produced by combustion are exhausted in
complete safety.
Before positioning the product, the installer must
check that the flue pipe is properly rated.
FUMES DUCT, FLUE
The fumes duct (which connects the hearth’s fumes
outlet with the flue) and the flue itself must, among
other regulatory requirements:
• receive the fumes from a single product (the outlets
of multiple appliances may not be conveyed into
a single flue)
• be routed vertically for the most part
• have no downwards sloping sections
• preferably have a circular internal cross section, or
with a ratio of the sides of less than 1.5
• terminate at roof level with a proper chimney pot:
the flue may not discharge directly from the wall
or into an enclosed space, even if the space in
question is open to the sky
• be made of material rated fire reaction class A1 per
UNI EN 13501 or analogous national regulations.
• be certified, with a chimney plate if metal
• be of uniform cross section or vary in cross section
only immediately after the outlet, not at some mid
point of its length
THE FUMES DUCT
Further to the general prescriptions for the fumes duct
and flue, the fumes duct:
• may not be made of flexible metal material
• must be insulated, if routed through unheated
areas or outdoors
• must not be routed through rooms in which the
installation of combustion heat generators is
prohibited, or subject to fire hazard, or which
cannot be inspected.
• must enable the recovery of soot and be open for
inspection
• must have at most 3 bends, through an angle of
no more than 90°
• must have a single horizontal section of length
no more than 3 metri, depending on the draw.
Note in any case that long sections promote the
accumulation of dirt and are harder to keep clean.
