INSTALLATION
4.1 APPLIANCE LOCATION
Follow the general guidelines set out in paragraph 1.1 to the letter. Above all keep in mind that the flooring of the
room in which the stove is being installed must withstand the weight of the stove with the added weight of the
pellet load and the water contained in it. The installer must provide the final user with verbal instructions on the
correct use of the appliance when the appliance is set at work for the first time.
ATTENTION: The room where the appliance is installed must be well-ventilated and
free from humidity and salty air. A high level of humidity or saltiness in the room can
lead to the onset of rust or corrosion which will not be covered by warranty.
If inflammable materials are located in the vicinity of the appliance (e.g.:
matchboarding, furniture, curtains, pictures and paintings, sofas) it is mandatory to
comply with the minimum distances illustrated (see figure at right) Installation in the
vicinity of heat-sensitive materials is only permitted if suitable insulating and fireproof
protection is placed between the object and the appliance (ref. Uni 10683). If the
flooring is made of wood or any other combustible material, it is mandatory to install a
fireproof floor protector plate between the appliance and the floor. Installation in the
vicinity of heat-sensitive materials is only permitted if suitable insulating and fireproof
protection is placed between the object and the appliance (ref. Uni 10683). Failure to
observe this instruction will immediately invalidate the warranty.
The installer must issue a certificate of conformity for the installation which includes the design plans and the
following documents:
a) Report containing the type of materials utilised.
b) Project as defined in Article 5 of Ministerial Decree n° 37 22 January 2008.
d) References to existing partial or previous declarations of conformity (e.g. electrical wiring).
e) Copy of the certificate of recognition of the professional technical qualifications.
These documents must, by law, be kept together with the use and maintenance booklet. The customer is responsible
for verifying, directly or indirectly, that the installation has been carried out to perfection in accordance with relevant
regulations in force. Do not install the appliance in unsuitable rooms such as bedrooms, bathrooms, garages and/or
lock-ups. It is forbidden to place the appliance in environments with an explosive atmosphere.
ATTENTION, the appliance is not simply a household appliance: if the instructions set out in this booklet are not
followed and/or if installation of the appliance is not executed perfectly and/or the provisions in force are not strictly
complied with, dangerous conditions could arise for both objects and persons. It is the user’s responsibility to verify
the presence, in the room, of a vent necessary for supplying oxygen to the generator.
