INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION INFORMATION
• Wood-burning boiler-stoves must be installed
"in a workmanlike manner" in compliance with
the SAFETY REGULATIONS in force and, most
importantly, by qualified expert staff.
• We advise you to read these instructions and
general rules of conduct carefully in order to get
the most from your wood-burning boiler-stove.
• Furthermore, due to the distinct characteristics
of each installation, EdilKamin declines all
responsibility for breakdown, damage or mal-
function caused by failure to comply with these
instructions for use
COMPATIBILITY CHECK WITH
OTHER DEVICES
According to Italian standard UNI 10683/05,
the boiler-stove must NOT be installed in the
same room as extractor fans, type B gas equip-
ment or devices which lower the pressure in the
room.
CCaauuttiioonn::
If extractor fans operate in the same
room or space where the device is installed, they
may cause problems.
CAUTION: The boiler-stove has been desi-
gned to work with the door closed only. Heat is
propagated by radiation and convection.
FIRE SAFETY DISTANCES
The boiler-stove must be installed in complian-
ce with the following safety conditions:
• minimum distance at the sides from medium-
level flammable materials: 80 cm;
• minimum distance at the rear from medium-
level flammable materials: 20 cm;
• easily flammable materials must not be loca-
ted 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 stove and the floor, which
protrudes by at least 20 cm at the sides and 40
cm at the front.
Objects made of flammable materials must not
be placed on the boiler-stove or at less than the
safety distance from it.
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.
WATER CONNECTIONS:
THE BOILER-STOVE MUST NEVER BE RUN
WITHOUT WATER IN THE SYSTEM. "WATER-
LESS" IGNITION DAMAGES THE BOILER-
STOVE.
Plumbing must be carried out by qualified staff
authorized to issue declarations of conformity in
compliance with Italian law No. 46/90.
Water treatment
Add antifreeze, scale inhibitors and corrosion inhi-
bitors. If the filling and top-up water has a hardness
greater than 35°F, use a water softener to reduce it.
Refer to Italian standard UNI 8065-1989 (Water
treatment in domestic heating systems).
PRACTICAL NOTE
When connecting the outlet, inlet and drain piping
(see page 25), fit suitable means to make moving
the boiler-stove easy in the future (for example, fle-
xible piping for the first 0.5 m).
The boiler-stove must be connected to the water
pipes by qualified plumbers.
In Italy, refer to Italian Standards UNI 10683 and
UNI 10412:2. In other countries, refer to the local
laws in force.
The KLIMA and WARM boiler-stoves may be instal-
led in two different types of system:
• Open systems (the most usual): with an open
expansion tank.
• Closed systems (only possible with KLIMA CS and
WARM CS) with a closed expansion tank.
BBooiilleerr--ssttoovvee iinnssttaallllaattiioonn iinn aann ooppeenn ssyysstteemm::
To install the KLIMA and WARM boiler-stoves with
open expansion tank:
• The expansion tank must be located at more than
3 m from the highest point of the last radiator to be
heated or 2-3 metres above the boiler-stove if a
plate heat exchanger is used.
• The height of the expansion tank must in any case
create a greater pressure than that produced by the
circulation pump.
• The expansion tank safety pipe must not be clo-
sed and must not be fitted with a cock.
• The expansion tank safety pipe must not be less
than 28 mm in diameter.
• The filling pipe must not be closed, and must not
be fitted with cocks or bends.
• The filling pipe must not be less than 18 mm in
diameter.
• The maximum working pressure must not be
greater than 1.5 bars.
• It must be tested at a pressure of 3 bars.
• Never fill the system directly with mains pressure
water since this may be greater than the boiler-stove
test pressure.
The boiler-stove and system must be filled through
the open expansion tank by gravity through the fil-
ling pipe (not less than 18 mm in diameter).
Connect the heat discharge valve (VST) and safety
valve (VS) outlets.
• A residual current circuit breaker must be fitted
upstream of the device and the whole boiler-stove
electric circuit. The pump, the valve and the metal
parts of the boiler-stove must also be earthed.
Compliance with regulations concerning earth con-
nections is essential for the safety of people.
• During this stage, open all radiator vents to pre-
vent the formation of air pockets in the system which
would prevent water circulation.
Boiler-stove installation with closed
expansion tank:
To install the KLIMA CS and WARM CS boiler-
stoves with a closed expansion tank, the boiler-
stove must have a cooling coil with heat
discharge valve.
An EDILKAMIN assembled kit must be used: kit
5 without domestic hot water production (code
n. 280590) or kit 6 with domestic hot water pro-
duction (code n. 280600) according to the
case.
• The maximum working pressure must not be
greater than 1.5 bars.
• It must be tested at a pressure of 3 bars.
• Never fill the system directly with mains pres-
sure water since this may be greater than the
boiler-stove test pressure.
• Never turn on the fire in the boiler-stove (not
even as a test) if the system is not filled with
water; it could be irreversibly damaged.
• The system must be tested with the expansion
tank open.
• It is advisable to install a 6 bar safety valve on
the domestic hot water circuit to relieve the
increase in water volume in the heat exchanger.
• Arrange all the system components (circula-
tion pump, heat exchanger, valves, etc.) in easi-
ly accessible places for routine and special
maintenance.
• EdilKamin is only liable for correct operation
if the boiler-stove is used in compliance with the
documents supplied with it.
• Assess the need for a further system expansion
tank.
To make boiler-stove installation quicker and
surer, EDILKAMIN offers assembled kits:
• 1-2-3-N3-N3 BIS-IDROKIT to install KLIMA
and WARM with an open expansion tank.
• 5-6-IDROKIT to install KLIMA CS and Warm
CS with a closed expansion tank.
The choice of kit depends on the type of system
you wish to set up.
