Refer to local regulations in the country of use for anything
that is not specifically covered in this manual. In Italy, refer
to standard UNI 10683/2005 in addition to any Regional or
Local Health Authority regulations.
If the boiler-stove is to be installed in a block of apartments,
consult the block administration before installing.
verify compatibility With other
deviceS
The boiler-stove must NOT be installed in the same room as
extractors, type B heating appliances and other appliances that
may affect its operation.
verifythe poWer Supply
connection
(the plug must be accessible)
The boiler-stove is supplied with a power cable that is to be
connected to a 230V 50 Hz socket, preferably fitted with a
magnetothermic switch. Voltage variations exceeding 10%
can damage the boiler-stove (unless already installed, an
appropriate differential switch must be fitted). The electrical
system must comply with the law; particularly verify the
efficiency of the earthing system. The power line must have a
suitable cross-section for the boiler-stove's power. An inade-
quate earthing system can cause anomalies for which Edilka-
min cannot be held liable.
fire Safety diStanceS and location
For correct operation the boiler-stove must be level.Check the
load-bearing capacity of the floor.The boiler-stove must be
installed in compliance with the following safety conditions:
- minimum safety distance at the sides and back from medium
level flammable materials: 40 cm
- easily flammable materials must not be located less than 80
cm from the front of the boiler-stove
- if the boiler-stove is installed on a flammable floor, a sheet
of heat insulating material must be placed between the boiler-
stove andthe floor, which protrudes by at least 20 cm at the
sides and 40 cm at the front.
If it is impossible to comply with the distances given above,
technical/building measures must be taken to avoid all fire
risks.If the smoke outlet pipe is connected to walls made of
wood or other flammable materials, it must be insulated with
ceramic fibre or other materials with similar characteristics.
air intaKe
The room where the stove is located must have an air intake
with cross section of at least 80cm
of the air consumed by combustion.Alternatively, the stove
air may be taken directly from outside through a 4 cm steel
extension of the pipe. In this case,there may be condensation
problems and it is necessary to protect the air intake with a
grille, which must have a freesection of at least 12 cm².
The pipe must be less than 1 metre long and have no bends.
It must end with section at 90° facing downwards or be fitted
with a wind guard.
In any case all the way air intake duct must be a free section
of at least 12 cm².
The external terminal of the air inlet channel must be protec-
ted with an anti-insect netting that does not reduce the
12 cm² through passage.

SmoKe outlet
The boiler-stove must have its own smoke outlet (the smoke
cannot be discharged into a smoke flue used by other devices).
The smoke is discharged through the 8 cm diameter outlet at
the back of the boiler-stove.
A T-section with condensation trap and bleeder must be fitted
at the beginning of the vertical section.
The smoke outlet must be connected to outside by means of
suitable steel pipes EN 1856 certified.
The pipe must be hermetically sealed. The material used to seal
and if necessary insulate the pipes, must be resistant to high
temperatures (high temperature silicone or mastic).
The only horizontal section allowed may be up to 2 m long.
It may have up to two 90° bends. If the outlet is not fitted into
a chimney flue, a vertical section and a wind guard are required
(reference UNI 10683/2005).
The vertical duct can be internal or external. If the smoke chan-
nel is outside, it must be appropriately insulated. If the smoke
channel is fitted inside a chimney flue, the latter must be suita-
ble for solid fuel. If it is wider than 150 mm in diameter it must
be improved by entering a pipe that has a suitable cross-section
and is made of suitable material (e.g. 80 mm diameter steel).
All sections of the smoke duct must be accessible for inspec-
tion. The chimney pots and smoke ducts connected to the solid
fuel appliances must be cleaned once a year (verify whether a
specific legislation exists in your country). Failure to regularly
inspect and clean the boiler-stove increases the probability of
a fire occurring in the chimney pot. In that case, proceed as
follows: Do not use water to extinguish the fire; Empty the
pellet hopper; Contact specialist personnel before reigniting the
boiler-stove. Possible installations are shown in figures 1 and 2

chimney pot
The main characteristics are:
- an internal cross-section at the base, which is the same as that
of the chimney flue
- an outlet cross-section which is no smaller than twice that of
the chimney flue
- its position must be high enough to catch the wind and avoid
downdraft areas in turbulent wind..
