Principle Of Operation; Safety Information - EdilKamin NEA AirTight 8 CRISTAL N Installation, Usage Et Maintenance

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

The NEA stove is completely airtight with respect to the
room in which it is installed; this means that the air (for
combustion and glass-cleansing) is taken directly from the
external environment, thus avoiding even minimum use of
the air of the room in which it is installed.
It is consequently suitable for use in houses defi ned at
"PASSIVE".
To respect this hermetic property of the stove, the pipe for the
input of the comburent air must be connected with the external
environment using suitable airtight pipes and connections.
The stove produces hot air using wood pellets as fuel, with
electronically controlled combustion. Hereunder is the explana-
tion of its functions (the letters refer to fi gure 1).
The fuel (pellets) is provided by the storage hopper (A) and,
to the combustion chamber (D) by means of a feed screw (B),
which is driven by a gear motor (C).
The pellets are ignited by the air that is heated by an electrical
resistance (E) and drawn into the combustion chamber
by a smoke extractor (F).
The fumes produced by the combustion are extracted from the
combustion chamber by the same extractor fan (F) and expelled
from the vent (G) located in the lower rear of the stove.
The combustion chamber (made in material called Vermiculite)
is closed at the front by two overlapping doors:
- an outer door in ceramic glass (to be opened with the glove
provided)
- in inner door in ceramic glass in contact with the fi re (to be
opened with the special "cold-hand" handle).
Fuel quantity, smoke extraction and combustion air supply
are all controlled by an electronic control board, which is
equipped with Leonardo ® software to achieve high combustion
effi ciency and low emissions.
All phases of operation can be managed via radio remote
control.
The stove is equipped with a serial port to connect an optional
cable (code 640560) to be connected to devices that allow
remote ignition (e.g. remote telephone, local thermostat, ect.).

SAFETY INFORMATION

The stove is designed to heat, through automatic pellet com-
bustion in the hearth, the room where it is installed, both by
radiation and the air that comes out of the front grille (I).
• The appliance is not designed to be used by people, including
children, with reduced physical, sensorial or mental abilities.
Children must be supervised to ensure they do not play with
the appliance.
• The main risks that may derive from using the stove pertain
to non-compliance with installation instructions, direct contact
with live electrical parts (internal), contact with the fi re or hot
parts (glass, pipes, hot air output), when extraneous substances
or non-recommended fuel are introduced, or due to incorrect
maintenance or by repeatedly pressing the ignition button wi-
thout having emptied the crucible.
• Only use certifi ed, high quality, 6 mm diameter wooden
pellets for fuel.
• Should components fail, the stoves are equipped with safety
devices that guarantee automatic shutdown. These are activated
without any intervention required.
• In order to function correctly, the stove must be installed in
accordance with the instructions given herein and the door
must not be opened during operation: combustion is fully
automatic and requires no intervention.
• Under no circumstances should any foreign substances be
entered into the hearth or hopper.
• Do not use fl ammable products to clean the smoke channel
(the fl ue section connecting the stove smoke outlet to the
chimney fl ue).
• The hearth and hopper parts must only be cleaned when
COLD.
• The glass can be cleaned when COLD with a suitable product
(e.g. GlassKamin Edilkamin) and a cloth.
• Avoid opening the door of the combustion chamber when the
stove is hot; wait until it has cooled down naturally.
• The stove must not function if the door is open, if the glass is
broken or if the pellet-loading port is open.
• It must not be used as a step ladder or a base on which to rest
any object.
• Do not lay laundry directly on the stove to dry. Any clothes
horse or similar must be placed at a safe distance from the
stove (danger of fi re).
• Make sure the stove is installed and ignited the fi rst time by
Edilkamin-qualifi ed CAT personnel (technical assistance centre)
in accordance with the instructions provided here within; this is
an essential requirement for the validation of the guarantee.
• When the stove is in operation, the exhaust pipes and door
become very hot (do not touch without wearing the thermal
glove).
• Do not place anything, which is not heat resistant near the
stove.
• NEVER use liquid fuel to ignite the stove or rekindle the embers.
• Do not obstruct the ventilation apertures in the room where
the stove is installed, nor the air inlets of the stove itself.
• Do not wet the stove and do not go near electrical parts
with wet hands.
• Do not use reducers on the smoke exhaust pipes.
• The stove must be installed in a room that is suitable for fi re
prevention and equipped with all that is required (power and air
supply and outlets) for the stove to function correctly and safely.
• SHOULD IGNITION FAIL, DO NOT RE-IGNITE UNTIL
YOU HAVE EMPTIED THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER.
