2 - INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS RULES FOR INSTALLATION The product in question is a stove that uses wood pellets. Below is a list of the European regulations regarding the installation of the product: EN 12828 Heating systems design. IEC 64-8 Electrical systems with rated voltage not exceeding 1000 V AC and 1500 V DC. EN 1443 General chimney regulation EN 1856-1 metal smoke ducts EN 1856-2 metal smoke extraction channels...
Page 11
2 - INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS The instructions in this chapter refer explicitly to the Italian installation regulation UNI 10683. In any case, always observe the domestic regulations in force. PELLETS Wood pellets are manufactured by hot-extruding compressed sawdust which is produced during the working of natural dried wood. The compactness of the material is guaranteed by the lignin contained in the wood itself and allows pellets to be produced without glue or binders.
Page 12
If the floor is made of wood, it is recommended to fit a floor protection sheet in compliance with the Standards in force in the country of installation. Distance from flammable material (see p.18) FLUX HYDRO back = 1 cm side = 2 cm (MIN. 30 cm to open the door) If the floor is made of combustible material, it is recommended to use protection made of non-combustible material (steel, glass...) that...

2 - INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOREWORD This chapter on the Smoke Flue has been produced in reference to the prescriptions of European regulations (EN13384 - EN1443 - EN1856 - EN1457). The chapter provides indications for installing an efficient and correct smoke flue but is under no circumstances to substitute the regulations in force, which the qualified technician must be in possession of.
Page 14
2 - INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS Have the efficiency of the flue checked by an authorised technician. The flue must be sealed against flue gasses, in a vertical direction without narrowing, be made with materials impermeable to smoke, condensation, thermally insulated and suitable to resist normal mechanical stress over time (we recommend fireplaces made of A/316 or refractory material with insulated round section double chamber).

Page 16
2 - INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS MAINTENANCE The flue must be kept clean, since the deposit of soot or unburned oils reduces the cross-section reducing the draft and thus compromising the efficient functioning of the heater and, if large build-ups accumulate, can catch fire. The flue and chimney must be cleaned and checked by a qualified chimney sweep at least once a year.
Page 17
2 - INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS EXTERNAL AIR INLET It is mandatory to provide an adequate external air intake that supplies the combustion air required for the product to work properly. The flow of air between the outside and the installation room may be direct, through an inlet in an external wall of the room; or indirect, via air intake from adjoining rooms and connecting permanently with the installation room (see Figure 9 b).
Page 18
2 - INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS DISTANCE (metres) The air inlet must be at a distance of: 1.5 m UNDER Windows, doors, smoke outlets, cavities, ..1.5 m HORIZONTALLY Windows, doors, smoke outlets, cavities, ..0.3 m ABOVE Windows, doors, smoke outlets, cavities, ..1.5 m AWAY from smoke outlet...
Page 19
2 - INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS EXAMPLES OF CORRECT INSTALLATION 1. Installation of Ø150mm flue with hole for the passage of the tube increased by: minimum 100 mm around the tube if next to non flammable parts such as cement, brick, etc.; or minimum 300 mm around the tube (or as prescribed by data tags) if next to flammable parts such as wood etc.
4 - UNPACKING PREPARATION AND UNPACKING The FLUX stove is delivered complete with all its electrical, mechanical, and hydraulic components after it has been tested in the factory: Remove the cardboard, supports, and polystyrene that secure the stove to the pallet. At this point, open the two side panels and remove the two brackets holding the stove.
5 - POSITIONING REQUIREMENTS FOR INSTALLATION OF THE PLANT - POSITIONING The most important thing to do before installing the stove is to choose a suitable place that meets the minimum requirements for installation. • the minimum clearance in front of the product to allow suitable access for cleaning, maintenance, etc. must be 400 mm; the minimum permissible distance between the back of the product and a wall must be 10 mm;...
Page 24
4 - UNPACKING FOOT ADJUSTMENT The underside of the stove is fitted with adjustable feet. Use a spanner to unscrew the feet to adjust the length and make the structure stable. TURN THE FEET CLOCKWISE TO LOWER THE PRODUCT. TURN THE FEET ANTI-CLOCKWISE TO RAISE THE PRODUCT.

6 - PANEL REMOVAL FRONT LATERAL PANELS B-D The first thing to do is to fix the magnets, which will be then required to close the two lateral panels. • position magnet “f” on the lower side and at the top •...
Page 28
6 - PANEL REMOVAL Place panels “B” and “D” making sure that wire “x” of the panel is aligned with wire “y” of the top of the structure.Affix panels “B” and “D” with the three screws “i-l-m”. Before applying the panels also on the inside towards the hearth, place the central panel “C” to adjust the alignment of the panels B-C-D.
Page 29
6 - PANEL REMOVAL At this point, place the central panel “C” ensuring that slot “n” enters the panel at joint “o” of the structure. Verify the alignment between the three panels “B-C-D” If the alignment is satisfactory proceed with fixing the side panels B and D onto the lower part of the internal section of the central panel “C”, otherwise proceed with the adjustment.
Page 30
6 - PANEL REMOVAL Adjustment of the central panel “C”. Loosen the three screws “p” and lower or raise the stopper “q” where the central panel “C” is to be applied. Once the correct alignment has been found, definitively apply the side panels “B” and “D”.
Page 31
6 - PANEL REMOVAL Applying side panels Panel “D” (and the left one “B”) were previously affixed to the structure from the outside by way of screws l-m-n; now you must complete the application using screw “s” on the internal part towards the hearth. Technical Dept.
Page 32
6 - PANEL REMOVAL Applying the central panel Both side front panels (“B” and “D”) having been fixed into place, you may proceed with applying panel “C”.Open the door of the stove, insert the panel in its place (as previously explained) and fix it to the structure by means of two screws “s”.
Page 33
6 - PANEL REMOVAL Applying side panels “A” In order to install the side panels “A”, proceed as follows: • Lift the top “W” or “Z” • Insert panel “A” in track “t” The side panels close by means of a magnet (previously applied to panels “B” and “D”; to open them, simply exert slight traction. Technical Dept.
Page 34
6 - PANEL REMOVAL Complete top "T" Remove the three screws "u", loosen the two screws "k", the three screws “j”, and the three screws "y" until the top "T" can come out of the slot at the top. Attention! This operation must be carried out without the covering panels of the stove and with the two side panels open.
Page 35
6 - PANEL REMOVAL ACCESS TO THE ELECTRONIC BOARD To access the electronic board you must open the side panel, remove the two screws "p" and lower the window. If it is necessary to connect external cables to the appliance, feed the cables through the hole "F" on the back and fasten the cables "C"...

7 - HYDRAULIC CONNECTION PURGE VALVE WITH CAP WATER CHARACTERISTICS The characteristics of the water used to fill the system are very important to prevent the build-up of mineral salts and the formation of incrustations along the pipes, in the boiler and in the heat exchangers. Therefore, please GET YOUR PLUMBER'S ADVICE CONCERNING: •...
8 - ELECTRICAL CONNECTION ELECTRICAL CONNECTION Connect the supply cable coming from the circuit board to an electrical wall socket. The main switch must only be activated to switch the stove on; otherwise, it is advisable to keep it switched off. It is recommended to disconnect the power cable when the stove is not used.
Page 42
8 - ELECTRICAL CONNECTION OPERATING MODE The operating mode for hydro stoves is only AUTOMATIC (there is no manual operating mode available). The modulation of the flame is controlled according to the "System configuration" by the room temperature probe located at the back of the appliance (see img.), by the external thermostat, by the temperature of the water in the boiler, or by the NTC probes.
