EdilKamin LOU Instalación Uso Y Mantenimiento página 22

All local and national laws and European standards must be
met when installing and using the appliance. In Italy, refer to
the UNI 10683/2012 standard, as well as any regional or local
health-authority regulations.
In France, refer to Decree 2008-1231 art. R131-2.
It is necessary to refer to regulations in force in each country. If
installing in an apartment building, check with the management
company fi rst.
VERIFY COMPATIBILITY WITH OTHER DEVICES
In Italy the stove MUST NOT be installed in the same space
as type B gas heating equipment (e.g. gas boilers, stoves, and
equipment served by an extraction hood) as the stove may cau-
se a vacuum in the space which may compromise or infl uence
how these units work. Pursuant to standard UNI 10683, the
stove can also be installed in a bedroom.
VERIFYTHE POWER SUPPLY CONNECTION
(the plug must be accessible)
The stove is supplied with a power cable that is to be connected
to a 230V 50 Hz socket, preferably fi tted with a magnetother-
mic switch. Voltage variations exceeding 10% can damage
the stove (unless already installed, an appropriate differential
switch must be fi tted). The electrical system must comply
with the law; particularly verify the effi ciency of the earthing
system. The power line must have a suitable cross-section for
the stove's power. An inadequate earthing system can cause
anomalies for which Edilkamin cannot be held liable.
POSITIONING
The stove must be level for it to function correctly.
Verify the bearing capacity of the fl oor.
FIRE PREVENTION SAFETY DISTANCES
The stove must be installed in compliance with the following
safety conditions:
- minimum distance from fl ammable materials around the sides
and back of the stove: 20 cm
- fl ammable materials must not be placed less than 80 cm from
the front of the stove.
If it is not possible to comply with the above-mentioned di-
stances, technical and construction-related provisions must be
taken to prevent fi re hazards.
If connected to wooden walls or other fl ammable materials, the
smoke exhaust pipe must be insulated.
AIR INTAKE
The stove is also suitable for installation in houses defi ned as
"passive". In this case, the air for combustion must be taken
by connecting (hermetically) the input vent at the back of the
stove with the external environment by means of a ø 4 cm pipe.
Make sure that the external air intake is positioned so that it
cannot be obstructed. In France, refer to Decree 2008-1231 art.
R131-2 for the above installations.
In all other types of houses, the stove can be installed in the
traditional manner and therefore also using the air of the
environment in which it is placed (in any case, the technical
standards of reference must always be respected).
The pipe must be less than 1 metre long and have no bends.
It must end with a section at 90° facing downwards or be fi tted
with a wind guard. in any case the air-intake duct must be a
free section of at least 12 cm². The external terminal of the air
inlet channel must be protected with an anti-insect netting that
does not reduce the 12 cm² through passage.
INSTALLATION
SMOKE OUTLET
The stove must have its own smoke outlet (the smoke can-
not be discharged into a smoke fl ue used by other devices).
In Germany, discharge can be by multiple fl ue with explicit
verifi cation on the part of a chimney-sweep.
The smoke is discharged through the 8 cm diameter outlet at
the back of the stove. The smoke outlet must be connected to
outside by means of suitable steel pipes EN 1856 certifi ed.
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 silico-
ne or mastic). The only horizontal section allowed may be up
to 2 m long up to three 90° bends (in relation to the vertical).
A vertical section of at least 1.5m and an anti-wind terminal
is necessary (if the discharge outlet is not in a chimney fl ue -
reference UNI 10683/2012). In France, with regard to fumes
discharge, refer to DTU 24.1 and DTU 24.2.
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 fi tted inside a chimney fl ue, 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
specifi c legislation exists in your country).
Failure to regularly inspect and clean the stove increases the
probability of a fi re occurring in the chimney pot. In that case,
proceed as follows: Do not use water to extinguish the fi re;
Empty the pellet hopper; Contact specialist personnel before
reigniting the stove.
The stove is designed to work under any weather conditions.
In case of particular conditions, such as strong wind, the safety
system may be activated, which results in the stove being
extinguished. If this happens, do not operate the stove with
the safety devices disabled. If the problem persists, contact our
Technical Service Department.
TYPICAL EXAMPLES

A: insulated steel fl ue
B: minimum height of 1.5 m and in any case above the height of the
roof gutter
C-E: air intake from inside room (minimum internal section: 80 cm²)
D: steel fl ue, inside existing brick-built chimney.
CHIMNEY POT
The main characteristics are:
- an internal cross-section at the base, which is the same as that
of the chimney fl ue
- an outlet cross-section which is no smaller than twice that of
the chimney fl ue
- its position must be high enough to catch the wind and avoid
downdraft areas in turbulent wind, it must be high enough to
catch the wind and avoid downdraft areas in turbulent wind.
