Refer to local regulations in the country of use for anything
that is not specifi cally covered in this manual. In
Italy, refer to standard UNI 10683 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 appliances
that may affect its operation. See regulation UNI 10683.
VERIFYTHE POWER SUPPLYCONNECTION
(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 fi tted with a magnetother-
mic switch.
Voltage variations exceeding 10% can damage the stove
(unless already installed, an appropriate differential switch
must be fi tted). The electrical system must comply with the
law; particularly verify the effi ciency of the earthing system.
The power line must have a suitable cross-section for the sto-
ve'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 fl oor.
FIRE PREVENTION SAFETY DISTANCES
The stove must be installed in compliance with the following
safety conditions:
- medium fl ammability items must be kept at a minimum
distance of 20 cm from the sides and back of the stove
- highly fl ammable 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 fi re hazards. If connected to wooden
walls or other fl ammable materials, the smoke exhaust pipe
must be appropriately insulated
AIR INTAKE
The room where the stove is located must have an air intake
with cross section of at least 80cm2 to ensurereplenishment
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 fi tted
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 fl ue 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 EN 1856 certifi ed. The pipe must be herme-
tically 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. It
may have up to two 90° bends.
A vertical section of at least 1.5m and an anti-wind terminal
is necessary (if the discharge outlet is not in a chimney fl 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 fi tted inside a chimney fl ue, 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 inspec-
tion.
The chimney pots and smoke ducts connected to the solid fuel
appliances must be cleaned once a year (verify whether a speci-
fi c legislation exists in your country).
Failure to regularly inspect and clean the stove increases the
probability of a fi re occurring in the chimney pot. In that case,
proceed as follows: Do not use water to extinguish the fi re;
Empty the pellet hopper; Contact specialist personnel before
reigniting the stove.
TYPICAL EXAMPLES

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