INSTALLATION
If information is not expressly indicated, please refer to
the local standards for your country. In Italy, please refer
to the standard UNI 10683, and to any regional or local
public-health regulations.
In the case of installation in a multiple-tenancy building,
contact the building manager before installation.
CHECK OF COMPATIBILITY WITH OTHER DEVICES
The stove must NOT be installed in the same room as extractor
fans, type B heating appliances, or other appliances which can
compromise correct operation.
See standard UNI 10683.
CHECK THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION (the socket
must be in an easily accessible position)
The stove is provided with a wire for the electricity supply
to be connected to a 230V 50 Hz socket, preferably with a
magnetothermal switch. If the electricity socket is not easily
accessible, place a switch upstream of the stove (to be provided
by the customer).
Voltage variations of more than 10% can damage the stove.
The electricity system must comply with standards; in particu-
lar, check the efficiency of the earth circuit.
The diameter of the power supply line must be adequate for the
power required by the stove.
An inefficient earth circuit can cause malfunctioning of the
stove, for which Edilkamin will accept no responsibility.
FIRE PREVENTION SAFETY DISTANCE
The stove can be positioned directly against a masonry or
plasterboard wall.
If the wall is flammable (wood), adequate insulation in non-
flammable material must be fitted.
The flue pipe must be adequately insulated, since it reaches
high temperatures.
Every object on either side of the stove in flammable and/or
heat sensitive material must be kept at least 20 cm from the
stove, or it must be suitably insulated with non-flammable
insulating material; under no circumstances must any object be
placed less than 80 cm from the front of the stove, since it will
be directly subjected to the radiation of heat from the combus-
tion chamber.
AIR INTAKE VENT
An air intake vent connected with the external environment
must be installed behind the stove; it must have an inner
diameter of at least 80 cm
2 to guarantee sufficient air intake for
combustion.
A: flue in insulated steel
B: minimum height 1.5 m and, in any case, above the level of roof
guttering
C-E: vent for the intake of air from the external environment
(minimum internal diameter 80 cm²)
D: steel flue inserted into an existing masonry chimney
CHIMNEY POT
The basic features are:
- internal section at the base equal to that of the flue
- output section no less than double that of the flue
- position in full wind, above the roof ridge and beyond the
reflux area.
SMOKE DISCHARGE
The discharge system must only serve
the stove (the
smoke must not be discharged into a chimney also used for
other stoves/fireplaces etc.).
The smoke is discharged through the 8 cm diameter vent posi-
tioned on the back, side or top of the stove.
The flue must be connected to the external environment by
steel pipes with EN 1856 certification. The pipe must be her -
metically sealed.
The pipes must be sealed, and if necessary insulated, with
materials resistant to high temperatures (silicon or mastics for
high temperatures).
The only horizontal stretch allowed can be 2 m long. There
must be no more than two bends, with a maximum angle of 90°
(in relation to the vertical piece).
A vertical stretch and a wind-proof terminal (reference UNI
10683) are required (unless the flue is inserted into a chimney).
If the flue runs outside the building, adequate insulation is nec -
essary. If the flue is inserted into a chimney, the chimney must
be suitable for solid fuel, and if it is larger than ø 150 mm,
pipes with a suitable diameter and in suitable material (e.g.
steel ø 80 mm) must be fitted inside the chimney.
It must be possible to inspect all sections of the smoke duct.
Chimneys and flues to which solid fuel burning appliances are
connected must be cleaned at least once a year (check the rela-
tive standards in your country).
If they are not checked and cleaned regularly, there is an in-
creased risk of the chimney catching fire. In such a case, do not
attempt to put out the fire with water; empty the pellet hopper.
Contact specialist personnel before re-igniting the stove.
