INSTALLATION
Introduction
The stove position must be chosen in accordance with the environment, the waste pipe and the chimney
flue. Verify with the local authority if there are restrictive rules about the air intake for combustion
purposes and ventilation of domestic environment and about the waste fumes pipes plant with chimney
flue and chimney pot. The manufacturer declines any responsibility in case of installation not in
accordance with the standards in force, with a not correct ventilation system, an electrical connection
not in accordance with the standards in force, or in case of bad use of the appliance.
The installation must be carried out by a qualified technician who will sign a declaration of conformity of
the system and take all responsibility for the installation and good functioning of the appliance. A booklet
of testing and periodic maintenance to be carried out by the installer is issued to the client together with
the stove.
Installation
The appliance should be installed on a floor with adequate load
bearing capacity. If the existing structure does not satisfy this
requirement it is essential to take appropriate precautions (e.g.
install a load distribution plate). Insert and adjust the 4 feet that
are supplied or adjust them if already installed, so that the base
of the stove becomes detached from the floor. When the
appliance is installed it should be placed so as to allow easy
access for cleaning the stove itself, the exhaust gas ducts and
the chimney flue.
The pellets stove must be installed in isolation, with a minimum
air space of 15 cm to allow an adequate cooling of the appliance
and a good distribution of heat in the domestic environment. In
compliance with fire-prevention methods there must be a
minimum distance of at least 20 cm from flammable objects to
the back and side of the stove and of 80 cm to the front where the
fire door is. If the floor is made of flammable material you must
prepare a coverage made of non-flammable material (plate of
steel, marble, refractory material), which sticks out 50 cm from
the front of the stove where the fire door is and 20 cm from the
other sides (see picture 10). You can’t install the stove in bedrooms or bathrooms.
Electrical connection
IMPORTANT! the appliance must be installed by specialised staff. The electrical connection must be
carried out using the supplied cable, adding an adequate plug on a socket which can take the load factor
and voltage specific of each model as indicated on the technical data table (see page 27), the plug must
be accessible when the appliance is installed. It is necessary that the fixed power grid is protected with
a single pole switch to assure a complete disconnection with a minimum opening between the contacts
of 3 mm. Make sure there is an efficient grounding, if there isn’t one or it is inefficient you should provide
to have a grounding installed in compliance with the standards in force.
N.B. The stove heating system is protected by fuse located inside the main switch behind the stove.
Always remember to disconnect the power supply before carrying out any maintenance and/or checks!
Hydraulic connection
IMPORTANT! It is important that the unit is installed by a specialised technician.
The hydraulic must be carried out by a qualified plumber. However, it is strongly recommended that it
is carried out by a qualified plumber. Connect the system delivery and return (1") directly to the 2 vents
on the back of the boiler (see illustration below - stove rear side). Apply a shut-off valve (tap) to the
specific vent (1/2”) on the boiler rear before supplying the system with water.
