REQUIREMENTS OF THE PLACE OF INSTALLATION
Positioning
The initial phase for best installation of the appliance is to determine its optimum location; the following elements need to
be considered:
-
The possibility of creating an external air vent;
-
The possibility of creating a straight flue, preferably coaxial to the outlet of the appliance;
-
The possibility of creating piping required for the boiling discharge;
-
Proximity to the main water drain and/or the boiler (if one already exists);
-
Proximity or ease of connection to the water system;
-
Ease of access for cleaning the appliance, the flue gas exhaust pipes and the flue.
The unit must be installed on a floor with a suitable load capacity. If the existing building does not fulfil this requirement
appropriate measures (e.g. load distribution plate) must be taken.
The minimum safety distance from flammable materials must be at least 200 mm from the sides and back of the
appliance.
Relocating the appliance should not be done by forcing on the handle, glass or ceramics/steel sides.
The installation must guarantee easy access for cleaning the appliance, the flue gas exhaust pipes and the flue, and any
subsequent maintenance operation by the Authorised technical assistance centre.
Once you have found the best location for the appliance, position it following the instructions given below.
Furniture and movable objects must be positioned at least 15 cm from the side surfaces of the appliance; these objects
must be moved when performing maintenance on the appliance.
Protect all structures that can catch fire against the radiated heat of the fire.
External air intake
During operation, the appliance takes in air from the environment in which it is installed; It is therefore essential that this
air is replaced through an external air vent. The absence of the air vent may affect the flue draught and therefore the
combustion and the safety of the appliance.
Therefore
it is mandatory
to install an external air vent with a minimum completely free passage of
at least 80 cm
2
(round hole with minimum diameter of 15 cm protected with a special fixed large mesh grid).
It is recommended to drill the hole in immediate proximity to the appliance.
If it not possible to put the external air vent in the same room as where the appliance is installed, this hole can be made
in an adjoining room as long as this room communicates permanently, by means of a transit hole (15 cm minimum
diameter).
The hole must be protected externally with a fixed grille. The protective grille must be checked periodically to ensure that
it is not obstructed, thereby impeding the passage of air.
Therefore keep the air vents clear of obstructions.
The UNI 10683 Standard FORBIDS the drawing of combustion air from garages, warehouses storing combustible
materials, or from business premises with a fire hazard.
If there are other heating or extraction devices inside the room, the air vents must guarantee a sufficient amount of air for
properly operating all the devices.
Only sealed appliances (e.g. C type gas appliances, according to the UNI 7129 Standard) or appliances that do not
cause a lower pressure compared with the external environment can pre-exist or be installed in the place where the
appliance is installed.
Extractor fans can cause malfunctions to the appliance if used in the same room.
