Installation
2.3 Installation and fitting
Installation and assembly of the stove must be carried out by a qualified engineer.
The stove must be installed in a suitable position to allow the normal operations of opening and
ordinary maintenance.
The site must be:
•
capable of providing the environmental conditions for operation
• provided with a suitable electricity supply: 230-240 V 50 Hz (EN73-23)
• capable of taking an adequate system for smoke discharge
• provided with external ventilation
• provided with an earth connection complying with CEI 64-8
The stove must be connected to a flue pipe or an internal or external vertical conduit
conforming to the standards UNI 7129 - 7131 – 9615.
The stove must be positioned in such a way that the electrical plug is accessible.
IMPORTANT !
The stove must be connected to a flue pipe or a vertical conduit which can
discharge the fumes at the highest point of the building.
The fumes are however derived from the combustion of wood products, and if
they come into contact with or close to walls, they can make dirty marks.
Also take care because the fumes are very hot but almost invisible, and can cause burns
on contact.
The holes for the passage of the smoke pipe and for the intake of air from outside should
be made before positioning the stove unit.
2.4 Connection to the external air intake
It is essential that at least as much air must be able to flow into the room where the stove is
installed as is required for proper combustion in the appliance and for the ventilation of the room.
This can be effected by means of permanent openings in the walls of the room to be ventilated,
which give onto the outside, or by single or collective ventilation conduits.
For this purpose, make a hole right through an external wall in proximity to the stove, with a
minimum free section of 100 cm² (equivalent to a round hole of 12 cm diameter or a square hole
10x10 cm), protected by a grille on the inside and the outside.
The air intake must:
•
communicate directly with the room where the stove is installed
• be protected by a grille, metal mesh or suitable guard, as long as this does not reduce the
area below the minimum.
• be positioned in such a way as to be impossible to
obstruct
It is not compulsory to connect the air intake directly with the
stove (so that it draws air directly from outside), but it is essential
at all events to ensure an airflow of 50 cubic metres per hour by
the use of a hole of the dimensions given.
See standard UNI 10683 REV.
