ASSEMBLY Positioning The initial phase for the best installation of the fireplace heating system is to determine its optimal location; regarding this the following data needs to be taken into account: Possibility of creating an external air vent; Possibility of creating a straight flue and possibly coaxial at the fireplace heating system outlet;...
Air vent Modern houses are all equipped with hermetic fittings, which do not allow any air to pass. To burn one Kg of wood about 15 m of air is required (in fireplaces with closed hearth) and 40 m in fireplaces with open hearth.
Page 16
N.B.: It is important that the grid communicates with the external air vent without connection via pipes. If it is not possible to realise the air vent in the wall behind the fireplace heating system, make the hole in a perimeter wall where the fireplace heating system is installed.
Flue and connection to the same The Flue is a fundamental component for correct functioning of the fireplace heating system. The minimum section of the flue must be that indicated in the fireplace heating system technical features (250 mm). Each fireplace heating system must be equipped with its own flue, without other intakes (boilers, fireplaces, stoves, etc…).
Page 18
Flue pipes must not pass through places in which the installation of combustion appliances is forbidden; The assembly of flue pipes must be performed in a way to guarantee the sealing against flue gas for the appliance functioning conditions in low pressure; ...
Chimney The chimney is a device crowning the flue, used to ease dispersion of combustion products. It must satisfy the following requisites: Have a useful outlet section that is not less than the double of that of the flue on which it is inserted; ...
During the final wiring of the circuit, only use components with a suitable electric protection rating. KLOVER srl declines all responsibility for injury to persons, animals or damage to objects deriving from the failure to connect the network to the fireplace heating system earth...
Electric control unit The electric control unit (supplied with the fireplace heating system on request) is used to control and command the start-up of the pump and any motorised 3-way valves. It is composed of: master switch (used to supply power to the control unit itself);...
Page 22
POMPA VAL VOLA DESCRIPTION OF THE KEYS P1 ON/OFF the button, pressed for two consecutive seconds, allows manual switch-on/off of the control unit depending on whether it is respectively off or on. During the normal operation of the fireplace the control unit must ALWAYS be turned on.
Page 23
L3 AUX LED The LED is on when the auxiliary thermostat has been selected. L4 LEVEL SWITCH LED The LED is on when there is no water inside the tray or not enough water. L5 OFF LED The LED is on when the control unit is off.
Page 24
FUNCTIONS ON/OFF The control unit is switched on/off by pressing and holding the P1 (ON/OFF) The OFF status is signalled by the fact that the L5 LED turns on. 2- SAFETY function: If the temperature detected by the PROBE exceeds the value of the Safety Thermostat, this forces the activation of the PUMP.
Page 25
SERV ON: for a temperature above the SERVE thermostat 9- DHW function: By holding down the P2 (-) and P3 (+) buttons at the same time it is possible to activate the DHW function. At this point, while the L6 LED flashes, just set the time (in minutes) for which you want to have all the heat burned for the production of domestic hot water.
Page 26
REPORTING FAULTS OR ALARMS The control unit reports faults related to the probe via a flashing message: indicates a value below the set scale (temperature below 0°C) Probe stop indicates a value above the set scale (temperature above 100℃) Probe short-circuit PARAMETER SETTINGS ANTI-FREEZE activation thermostat...

Control of any 3-way valve for the DHW circuit The fireplace heating system control unit (supplied on request with he fireplace heating system) is equipped with a control as per standard for any motorised 3-way valve to be installed on the domestic hot water circuit.
Page 28
Control of any coupled boiler If the fireplace heating system is to be coupled with another boiler already installed in the system (e.g. wall-hung gas boiler), it must be ensured that when the fireplace heating system functions for the heating system, the boiler stops. So the fireplace heating system intervenes on the coupled boiler when the temperature set in the aux thermostat of the wood-burning fireplace heating system control unit is reached.

LINEA: Connect the 1 and 2 clamps to the electrical power supply. AUX: This is used to control a boiler associated with the heating system. Therefore connect the 4 and 5 clamps (or 3 and 4 depending on the type of connection to the associated boiler) to the TA (Room Thermostat) contact of the boiler.
Hydraulic connection The hydraulic connections must be made in a rational mode. The fireplace heating system can be coupled to any other boiler already installed in the system; naturally it is indispensable to insert the due safety devices and shut-offs according to the system used. N.B.: THE SYSTEM MUST BE DIMENSIONED WITH AVERAGE FLOW TEMPERATURE OF 55°C.
FIREPLACE HEATING SYSTEM COVERING When installation has been completed, do not cover the fireplace heating system for at least 6-7 days, in order to verify the tightness of all hydraulic joints of the fireplace heating system itself. BEFORE COVERING THE FIREPLACE HEATING SYSTEM, DISASSEMBLE THE TWO DOOR LOCK ANGLES AND CHECK THAT THE STEEL CABLE IS INSIDE THE METAL WHEEL GROOVE.
Page 35
An example of covering is given below, indicating the minimum measurements to leave for any inspections of the fireplace heating system: 60 cm minimum The inspection hole can be covered with a bracket or aeration grid.
COMMISSIONING Filling the system for the first time After having connected the fireplace heating system, fill the system as follows: Loosen the caps of any air vent valves; If necessary, very slowly loosen the pump/s vent valve cap, making the fluid flow for a few seconds;...
Filling the fireplace heating system When the system has been filled, then fill the fireplace heating system via the float. It is recommended to install a ball valve in the fireplace loading pipe in order to isolate the float if the same should break.
Ignition Perform the following operations: Before switching the fireplace heating system on, make sure that the control unit switch is on; Make sure that there is water in the system; Regulate the thermostat that controls the pump to a temperature of 55-60 °C;...
Boiling If for any reason (power cut, a pump fault, too much wood, etc…), the water in the fireplace body reaches boiling point, carry out the following operations immediately, IN SPITE THAT THE FIREPLACE HEATING SYSTEM GUARANTEES ABSOLUTE SAFETY: Open the fireplace heating system smoke damper;...
MAINTENANCE Cleaning the body-boiler Punctual and systematic maintenance is a fundamental component for perfect functioning, excellent heat yield and duration of the appliance through time. It is therefore recommended to clean the boiler body periodically (at least once a year). Before performing any cleaning or maintenance, make sure that the fireplace heating system is off and completely cold and that the ash is also cold.
Any deposits on the walls of the combustion chamber (if particularly resinous wood is burned) can be eliminated by making the fireplace heating system work at maximum conditions for 30-40 minutes (in this case take the thermostat to 85°C) by burning dry wood or, even better, charcoal.
To close the hinged door, you should push both at the top and at the bottom - as shown in the photo - making sure that both parts are fixed correctly when they are fastened. Cleaning the flue The flue must be cleaned at least once a year at the start of the winter season, and also every time it is necessary.
Maintenance of the boiler body The fireplace heating system is equipped with a special magnesium anode to protect the boiler body and stainless steel heat exchangers from corrosion due to stray currents in the system. This anode protects from galvanic corrosion. MAGNESIUM ANODE The anode must be controlled at least once a year and replaced when its diameter measures less than 15 mm.
THE WOOD TO BURN Wood features Wood is one of the most precious materials offered by nature. For heating purposes, it must be verified that the features of the wood satisfy some important requisites that must not be ignored, the most important of which is without a doubt the correct seasoning or drying, in other words the wood must have the correct amount of humidity, around 10-15%, therefore also the period of the year in which it is felled becomes important.
Page 45
The calorific value of the different types of wood depends greatly on their humidity and consequently the power of the fireplace heating system is directly affected by the type of wood used, on average a well-seasoned wood has a calorific value of 3200 kcal/kg. Calorific value of wood depending on its humidity: % of Calorific value...
