Italiana Camini POINT PLUS Installation, Usage Et Maintenance page 27

All local and national laws and European standards must
be met when installing and using the appliance. In Italy,
refer to the UNI 10683 standard, as well as any regional or
local health-authority regulations.
It is necessary to refer to regulations in force in each count-
ry. If installing in an apartment building, check with the
management company 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 in uence
how these units work.
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 tted with a magnetother-
mic switch. Voltage variations exceeding 10% can damage
the stove (unless already installed, an appropriate differential
switch must be tted). The electrical system must comply
with the law; particularly verify the ef 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.
FIRE PREVENTION SAFETY DISTANCES
The stove must be installed in compliance with the following
safety conditions:
- minimum distance from ammable materials around the sides
and back of the stove: 20 cm
- 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 re hazards.
If connected to wooden walls or other ammable materials, the
smoke exhaust pipe must be insulated.
AIR INTAKE
The room where the stove is located must have an air intake
with cross section of at least 80cm
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 ne-
cessary to protect the air intake with a grille, which must have
a freesection 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
with a wind guard. In any case all the way 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 ue used by other devices).
The smoke is discharged through the 8 cm diameter outlet at
the back, left side or top of the stove . The smoke outlet must be
connected to outside by means of suitable steel pipes EN 1856
certi 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 1.5 m and an anti-wind terminal
is necessary (if the discharge outlet is not in a chimney ue -
reference UNI 10683).
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 tted inside a chimney 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
speci c legislation exists in your country).
Failure to regularly inspect and clean the stove increases the
probability of a re occurring in the chimney pot. In that case,
proceed as follows: Do not use water to extinguish the 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 per-
sists, contact our Technical Service Department.
TYPICAL EXAMPLES

A: insulated steel 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 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 ue
- an outlet cross-section which is no smaller than twice that of
the chimney 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.
