INSTALLATION AND USE INSTRUCTIONS
Fireplace
If combining a prefabricated Edilkamin covering,
to decide upon the exact positioning of the fire-
place, it is important to verify which covering
will be applied.
The positioning is implemented according to
the model chosen (refer to the installation
instructions found inside the packaging of each
fireplace covering).
Always ensure the thermo fireplace is level
during the installation process.
- Drill a hole into the wall or the flooring for the
external air intake and connect the air adju-
stment mechanism to the hole as described in
the chapter called "external air inlet".
- Use a stainless steel flue to connect the fire-
place to the chimney flue, adhering with the
diameters indicated in the specifications table
and the guidelines given in the chapter called
"chimney flues".
- Verify that all moving parts function properly
before setting the thermo fireplace covering in
place.
- This system must be tested and ignited
for the first time before the covering is
set in place.

covering, fireplace mantel and

The base of the fireplace covering must allow the
internal air to be recycled. Failing to do so, the
fireplace will not function properly with possible
smoke backflow.
Therefore, suitable slots or apertures must be
made for the air to pass through.
Parts of the fireplace covering that are made of
marble, stone and bricks must be mounted with a
small gap between them and the fireplace so as to
prevent possible breakage due to
expansion and excessive overheating.
Wooden parts must be protected by fire resistant
panels and no part must touch the thermo fireplace,
on the contrary, there must be an appropriate
distance of at least 1 cm to allow the air to
flow, preventing heat accumulation.
The fireplace mantel can be made of fireproof
plasterboard panels or gypsum board and,
however, of completely fireproof material.
Air should be allowed to flow inside the firepla-
ce mantel (through the gap between the door
and the beam). Through convective motion,
the air will flow out from the grille installed
at the top, resulting in heat recovery and pre-
venting excessive overheating.
The fireplace mantel must have appropriate
openings to carry out maintenance on the
fittings.
In addition to that mentioned above,
please consider the indications stipula-
ted in the UNI 10683/2005 standard,
paragraphs 4.4 and 4.7: "insulation,
finishing, fireplace covering and safety
recommendations".
Insulating mats must be applied when
using an installation KIT so as to protect
it from the heat radiation emitted by the
fireplace.
Important advice when using the
fireplace
- It is important to ensure that there is
water in the thermo fireplace and the
system before igniting the fireplace. It is
recommended to connect the inlet and
outlet pipes as shown in the diagrams.
- The maximum operating pressure must not
exceed 1.5 bar
- The Company is responsible for the proper
functioning of the product only if this is han-
dled in accordance with the documentation
supplied with the product itself.
- First ignition (or re-igniting):
remove any ash residue from the hearth.
Practical advice
- It is recommended to keep the radiators clo-
sed in the room where the thermo fireplace is
installed since the heat radiated from the ope-
ning of the fireplace itself is enough.
- An incomplete combustion process causes
excessive fouling on the heat exchanger pipe.
To prevent this you must:
- burn dry wood.
- ensure the hearth contains a bed of embers
and burning carbon before adding more wood.
- place larger logs together with smaller ones.
Igniting the fireplace
- Ensure that at least one radiator is always open.
- Actuate the switches of the electronic regulator.
- Place a pile of medium-thin dry wood in the
thermo fireplace and ignite the fire.
- Wait a few minutes until it reaches sufficient
combustion.
- Close the door
- Adjust the combustion setting via the damper
control at the front.
- Set the thermostat on the electronic regulator
(*) at a temperature between 50 and 70° C.
- The 3-way valve (*) diverts the water flow direc-
tly to the thermo fireplace; when the set tempe-
rature is reached, the 3- way valve (*) diverts the
flow to the system.
- When the door is opened, the damper by-
pass opens automatically, allowing the smoke
to reach the smoke flue directly, preventing it
from coming out of the inlet.
- When the door is opened, the damper by-
pass opens automatically, allowing the smoke
to reach the smoke flue directly, preventing it
from coming out of the inlet.
(*) these components of the system are to be
provided by the installer.
During the combustion process
If the water temperature exceeds 90° C becau-
se of too much wood being placed in the
hearth, the thermal relief valve will be activated
and the acoustic signal heard.
In this case you must proceed as follows:
- Wait until the temperature is lower than 80°
C; check the warning lights on the electronic
regulator, without loading any additional fuel.
- The hot water tap can be opened to speed
up the cooling process if the thermo fireplace
is equipped with a hot sanitary water produc-
tion KIT.
External air regulation
- The damper control found on the external air
inlet (refer to Fig. 1 on pag. 22), regulates the
amount of primary air that is necessary for the
combustion process. Pushing the knob will
close the external air inlet and pulling the knob
will open it.
Primary air regulation
- Air regulation Control "A A " (see fig.2) located
under the door regulates the amount of air that
is necessary for the combustion process.
- Control all the way to the right: fully open
- Control all the way to the left: closed.
During the thermo fireplace start-up phase, the
control must be kept in the fully open position,
while, when running, it must be kept in the inter-
mediate or closed position.
Maintenance
Cleaning the hearth
- Fouling that tends to accumulate on the inter-
nal walls of the thermo fireplace decreases the
efficiency of heat transfer.
- It is therefore necessary to clean the fireplace
regularly, by bringing the water temperature to
80 / 85° C to soften the fouling and then
remove this with a steel spatula.
Glass cleaning
- Use an appropriate spray for ceramic glass to
clean the glass.
- The glass must be cleaned when cold.
- To open the door, it must be locked in the
closed position, positioning control "B B " (see fig.
2) under the door all the way to the right.
- Insert the "cold handle" door handle on the
latch (see fig.3) and turn to open.
