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 a section at 90° facing downwards or be
fitted with a wind guard.
SMOKE OUTLET
The 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 stove.
The smoke outlet must be connected to outside by means
of suitable steel pipes and must be free from obstructions.
The pipe must be hermetically sealed.
The material used to seal and if necessary insulate the
pipes, must be resistant to at least 200 °C (high tempera-
ture silicone or mastic).
The only horizontal section allowed may be up to 2 m long
and can have a maximum of two 90° bends.
If the outlet is not fitted into a chimney flue, a vertical sec-
tion and a wind guard are required (reference UNI
10683/2005).
The vertical duct can be internal or external. If the smoke
channel is outside, it must be appropriately insulated.
If the smoke channel is fitted inside a chimney flue, the
latter must be suitable 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
inspection.
The chimney pots and smoke ducts connected to the solid
fuel appliances must be cleaned once a year (verify whe-
ther a specific legislation exists in your country). Failure
to regularly inspect and clean the stove increases the pro-
bability 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 stove.
The following page shows examples of possible installa-
tion layouts.
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 stove is to be installed in a block of apartments,
consult the block administration before installing.
VERIFY COMPATIBILITY WITH
OTHER DEVICES
The stove must NOT be installed in the same room as
extractors, type B heating appliances and other applian-
ces that may affect its operation.
VERIFY THE 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 fitted
with a magnetothermic switch.
Voltage variations exceeding 10% can damage the stove
(unless already installed, an appropriate differential
switch must be fitted).
The electrical system must comply with the law; parti-
cularly verify the efficiency 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 floor.
FIRE PREVENTION SAFETY DISTANCES
The stove must be installed in compliance with the fol-
lowing safety conditions:
- medium flammability items must be kept at a mini-
mum distance of 40 cm from the sides and back of the
stove
- highly flammable items must be kept at a minimum
distance of 80 cm if placed in front of the stove.
If it is not possible to comply with the above mentioned
distances, technical and construction-related provisions
must be taken to prevent fire hazards.
If connected to wooden walls or other flammable mate-
rials, the smoke exhaust pipe must be appropriately
insulated.
AIR INLET
There must be an air inlet behind the stove with a mini-
mum diameter of 80 cm². This must be connected to
outside in order to guarantee sufficient air supply to the
stove for 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
