5.1 Handling the product
Cortina is a heavy product, and care should be taken when carrying the boiler to the room
where it is going to be installed. Carrying equipment of the product must be of enough
capacity to support the boiler weight.
NOTICE
–
Damage to property
•
Do not use hard and sharp objects while removing the package around the
boiler to prevent damage of the painted jackets.
5.2 Room selection
Cortina boilers must be installed in an individual boiler room particularly organized for
heating. The boiler room should be of enough volume for installation, and maintenance
of the boiler. There should be enough space from the wall for easy removing the geared
motor and the shaft for service intervention. See
“clearances around boiler” sectio
n.
There should be enough fresh air circulation for combustion, the chimney design must
ensure an adequate draught for related boiler type, and must comply with construction
criteria given further in this manual and in mandatory regulations. Your boiler must never
be installed in open spaces or balconies, in spaces occupied by people like kitchen, living
room, bathroom and bedroom, in spaces where there are explosive and combustible
materials.
The boiler room should have air ventilation holes through outside to let fresh air in. One
air ventilation hole must be built maximum 40 cm below the level of room ceiling; the other
must be built maximum 50 cm above the floor level. These ventilation holes should always
be kept open. The upper hole should be at least 40x40 cm in size, the lower hole at least
30x30 cm.
All hydraulic and electrical circuits must be arranged by authorized staff in accordance
with mandatory regulations specified by legal organizations. Pellets should be stored by
keeping minimum 800 mm distance from the boiler. We recommend you to keep the solid
fuel in another room. Cortina boiler should be installed on a concrete plinth made of a
fireproof material. For minimum sizes of the plinth following table should be referred:

At least the following clearances should be achieved around the boiler. When the boiler
is placed to the boiler room, enough distance should be left for easy fuel loading to bunker,
easy removing the geared motor and auger and easy servicing.
