  • Page 10 1-WARNINGS AND WARRANTY CONDITIONS RULES FOR INSTALLATION The product is a boiler that uses wood pellets. Below is a list of the European regulations regarding the installation of the product: EN 303-5:2012: Solid fuel boilers, with manual or automatic loading, nominal thermal power of 500 kW - Terminology, requisites, tests and marking.
  • Page 11: 2-Installation

    2-INSTALLATION The instructions in this chapter refer explicitly to the Italian installation regulation UNI 10683. In any case, always observe the regulations in force in the country of installation. 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 2-INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS REGARDING INSTALLATION IMPORTANT! Product installation and assembly must be carried out by qualified personnel. The product must be installed in a suitable place that allows easy access for it to be opened regularly and for routine maintenance to be performed.
  • Page 13 2-INSTALLATION POSITIONING AND RESTRICTIONS In the case of simultaneous installation with other heating appliances, provide appropriate air inlets for each one (according to the instructions of each product). Installation of the product is not permitted: • in rooms where there are liquid fuel appliances with continuous or intermittent operation that draw the combustion air from the room they are installed in;...
  • Page 14 2-INSTALLATION FOREWORD The Chimney Flue chapter has been drawn up with reference to the provisions of European Standards (EN13384 - EN1443 - EN1856 - EN1457). The chapter provides indications for installing an efficient and correct flue but is under no circumstances to substitute the regulations in force, which the qualified technician must be in possession of.
  • Page 15 2-INSTALLATION TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS Flues serving a pellet/wood fuelled appliance must meet the following requirements: • made of materials that are sufficiently resistant to mechanical stress, heat, the action of the products of combustion and their vapours. • made of materials that are impermeable to fumes, condensation, be thermally insulated and resistant to normal mechanical stress over time •...

  • Page 17 2-INSTALLATION SIZING The draught of a flue depends on its height. Check the draught with the values indicated in the technical characteristics. The minimum height of the chimney is 3.5 metres. The interior cross-section of the flue can be round (best), square or rectangular (the ratio between the internal sides must be ≤1.5) with the sides joined with a minimum radius of 20 mm.
  • Page 18 2-INSTALLATION MAINTENANCE The flue must always be kept clean, since the deposit of soot or unburned oils reduces the cross-section reducing the draft and thus compromising the efficient operation of the boiler and, if large build-ups accumulate, they can catch fire. The flue and chimneypot must be cleaned and checked by a qualified chimney sweep at least once a year.
  • Page 19 2-INSTALLATION CONNECTION TO THE FLUE The connection between the flue and the appliance must be via a smoke duct that complies with EN 1856-2. The connecting section must extend no more than 4 m horizontally, with a minimum slope of 3% and with a maximum of 3 90% bends (accessible for inspection - do not count the T fitting at the appliance outlet).
  • Page 20 2-INSTALLATION EXAMPLES OF CORRECT INSTALLATION 1. Installation of Ø 150 mm flue with hole for the passage of the pipe increased by: minimum 100mm around the pipe if next to non flammable parts such as cement, brick, etc.; or minimum 300mm around the pipe (or as required by rating plate) if next to flammable parts such as wood etc.

  • Page 31: 6-Hydraulic Connection

    6-HYDRAULIC CONNECTION HYDRAULIC CONNECTION IMPORTANT: The connections depend on the type of System Configuration. IMPORTANT! If installing the boiler involves another pre-existing system complete with heating equipment (gas boiler, methane boiler, fuel oil boiler, etc.), it is strongly recommended that you contact a qualified operator who subsequently will be responsible for the compliance of the system with the applicable laws in force.

  • Page 33 6-HYDRAULIC CONNECTION SAFETY VALVE 3 bar The boiler is protected against overpressures by a safety valve “2” fitted on the selected hydraulic kit. The safety valve drain must be connected to a rubber pipe that can withstand a temperature of 110°C (not supplied) and that reaches the outside via an anti-odour syphon.
  • Page 34 6-HYDRAULIC CONNECTION CLEANING THE SYSTEM Install suitable shutters to cut off the tubes from the heating system. In order to protect the heating system from damage caused by corrosion, incrustation or deposit build-up, it is important to clean the appliance before installation, using suitable products, in compliance with Standard UNI 8065 (water treatment of thermal plants for civil use).
  • Page 35 6-HYDRAULIC CONNECTION • after starting up the boiler for the first time and bringing the system up to temperature, stop the pumps and repeat the air purging procedure; • let the system cool down and, if necessary, bring the water pressure back to 1 bar (this only applies to closed vessel systems - refer to any existing local regulations or standards allowing for its installation);...
  • Page 36 6-HYDRAULIC CONNECTION PRESSURE GAUGE The gauge of the boiler “m” is one of the key tools, which is used to check that appliance is operating smoothly. The pressure gauge of the boiler is used to measure the pressure, i.e. the difference between the internal pressure and the atmospheric pressure. Generally, the ideal pressure for a boiler is between 1.5 and 2 bar, above or below which malfunctions occur in the heating system or in the supply of domestic hot water.
  • Page 37: 7-Electrical Connection

    7-ELECTRICAL CONNECTION GENERAL PRECAUTIONS The electrical safety of the system is guaranteed only when this is connected correctly to an efficient earthing system installed in accordance with the safety standards in force: the pipes of the gas, water and heating systems do not constitute a suitable earth system. It is necessary to ensure this essential safety requirement;...
  • Page 38: 8-First Start-Up

    8-FIRST START-UP BEFORE START-UP GENERAL PRECAUTIONS Remove all parts that may burn from the brazier and the product’s tank (manual, various adhesive labels or any polystyrene). The first start-up may not be successful as the feed screw is empty and does not always manage to load the brazier with the required amount of pellets in time to light the flame.
  • Page 39 8-FIRST START-UP OPENING/CLOSING ATTENTION! The door must be closed properly for the boiler to work correctly. The firebox door and the lower door for cleaning the ash must only be opened with the boiler coil and off. If the doors are opened while the boiler is running, a system will trigger the alarm and the boiler will go off. Open the outer door “A”...
  • Page 40 8-FIRST START-UP LOADING THE PELLETS The pellets can be loaded either manually or automatically. The empty tank can contain up to 100 litres or 65 kg of pellets. Manual Loading: • Open the top door “C” of the boiler directly and pour in the pellets. Automatic loading (with remote tank of 200/400 or 300 kg - optional - see accessories): •...
  • Page 41 8-FIRST START-UP SAFETY PROCEDURE TO FOLLOW IF ANY SMOKE SPILLAGE IS SEEN WITHIN THE ROOM OR THE APPLIANCE SUFFERS FROM AN EXPLOSIVE IGNITION PLEASE TURN OFF THE APPLIANCE, VENTILATE THE ROOM AND CONTACT THE INSTALLER/ SERVICE ENGINEER IMIDIATLEY. User Training In ALL cases, the technician in charge of installation and first-start-up MUST carry out a thorough handover of the appliance to the homeowner / end user.
