ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION (Dealer)
Refer to the local regulations in the country of use for anything not expressly shown.
If the stove is to be installed in a block of flats, consult the block administration before installing.
COMPATIBILITY CHECK WITH OTHER DEVICES
The stove must NOT be installed in the same room as extractor fans or type B gas equipment.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION CHECK
The stove is fitted with an electrical power cord for connection to a 230 V 50 Hz socket, preferably protected with a
thermal-magnetic circuit breaker. Voltage variations of greater than 10% may impair stove operation (if not already installed, fit a
suitable residual current circuit breaker). The electrical system must comply with the law; in particular make sure the earth circuit
is in working order. The power supply line must have a suitable cross-section for the equipment rating.
An inadequate earthing system can cause anomalies for which Edilkamin cannot be held liable.
FIRE SAFETY DISTANCES AND LOCATION
For correct operation the stove must be level.
Check the load-bearing capacity of the floor.
The 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 stove
- if the stove is installed on a flammable floor, a sheet of heat insulating material must be placed
between the stove and the 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 80cm2 to ensure
replenishment 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 free
section 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.
SMOKE OUTLET
The stove must have its own smoke outlet (discharge into common flues or other devices must not be used).
The smoke leaves the stove through the 8 cm diameter pipe at the back.
A T-section with condensation trap and bleeder must be fitted at the beginning of the vertical section.
The stove smoke outlet must be connected with the outside using black painted or steel pipes (resistant to 450°C),
without obstructions. The pipe seals must be air-tight. Material that withstands up to 300°C must be used (silicone or high tem-
perature mastic) to seal and insulate (if necessary) the pipes. The only horizontal section allowed may be up to 2 m long. Up to
two 90° bends may be used. If the smoke outlet does not end in a flue, a suitably fixed vertical section (at least 1.5 m long unless
clearly unadvisable for safety reasons) with wind guard at the end is essential. The vertical duct may be indoor or outdoor. If the
smoke duct is outdoor, it must be insulated.
If the smoke duct ends in a flue, the flue must be authorized for solid fuel. If it is more than 150 mm in diameter, it must be renewed
by inserting an internal pipe and sealing the smoke outlet from the brickwork.
All sections of the smoke duct must be inspectable. If it is fixed, cleaning inspection openings must be provided.
Possible installations are shown in figures 1 and 2.
