Important
advice
regarding
installation
Other than that described in this documen-
tation, you are also asked to note the follo-
wing UNI standards:
- No. 10683/2005 - firewood heat gene-
rators: installation requirements
- No. 9615/90 - calculating the internal
dimensions of fireplaces
- No. 10412:2 - hot water heating
systems. Specific safety requirements for
systems provided with residential solid fuel
burning appliances and combined boiler,
not exceeding a total nominal heat input of
35 kW.
Particularly:
- Before carrying out any assembly it is
important to verify compatibility of the
appliance, as stipulated in UNI
10683/2005 standard, paragraphs 4.1 /
4.1.1 / 4.1.2.
- When assembly is completed, the
installer must implement "start-up opera-
tions" and issue documentation as required
by UNI 10683/2005 standard in para-
graphs 4.6 and 5, respectively.
- The connections, commissioning and
verification of proper operation of the
fireplace must be carried out by qualified
personnel, who can implement the electri-
cal and plumbing connections as required
by UNI standards
10683/2005,
paragraph
10412:2, apart from complying with these
assembly instructions.
- Verification must be carried out with the
fireplace on and after having been on for a
couple of hours, before covering the fire-
place, so that you can intervene if need be.
After which, the finishing operations such
as:
- setting-up the fireplace mantel
- mounting the fireplace covering
- pilasters, painting, etc.
are carried out, once the tests are comple-
ted successfully.
Consequently, Italiana Camini does not
accept responsibility for expenses deriving
from demolition as well as construction
even if either occurs as a result, after
having replaced any damaged parts of the
fireplace.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
the
External air inlet (optional)
An external connection with a 10 cm
diameter
(refer to the technical table) is absolu-
tely necessary for the thermo fireplace
to function properly and is therefore
imperative for this to be implemented.
This connection must link the air adjustment
mechanism (E), delivered separately. It can
be installed on either the left side or the
right side of the thermo fireplace.
This can be made of a flexible aluminium
pipe.
Ensure that the points where there may be
dispersion of air are sealed well.
The air adjustment mechanism (E) can be
removed and mounted on the right side of
the thermo fireplace.
It is recommended to place a protection
grille on the outer part of the air inlet chan-
nel, however, ensure that this does not
reduce the cross-section.
For distances longer than 3 m or with
bends, increase the given cross-section by a
minimum of 10% to a maximum of 20%.
The intake of external air must enter at floor
level (it cannot enter from above).

Chimney flues and chimneypot
The thermo fireplace smoke outlet has a cir-
cular crosssection so that stainless steel pipes
can be used.
If the chimney flue inlet is not vertically above
the thermo fireplace, the connection from the
fireplace to the flue must not have a narro-
wing section or inclinations greater than 45°
(fig.A
1 2 3
).
If the chimney flue is not brand new or too
big, it is recommended to fit in stainless tubes
of an appropriate diameter and with suitable
insulation.
If the chimney flue is installed outside, it is
recommended to use an insulated, double
walled, stainless steel flue.
The characteristics of the construction must
be suitable to withstand a smoke temperatu-
re of at least 450° C, with particular referen-
ce to the mechanical resistance, insulation
and the gas tight sealing.
The junction of the steel flue inlet and the
smoke outlet of the fireplace must be sealed
with high temperature mastic.
The fundamental characteristics of the
chimneypot are:
- an internal cross-section at the base, which
is the same as that of the chimney flue.
- an outlet cross-section which is no smaller
than twice that of the chimney flue.
- its position must be high enough to catch
the wind and avoid downdraft areas in
turbulent wind.
In addition to that mentioned above,
please consider the indications stipulated
in UNI 10683/2005 standard,
paragraph 4.2: "connection to the smoke
outlet system" and its subsections.
