WARNINGS

Installing Firebox

®
Besides the contents of this document,
please take into consideration the UNI stand-
ards:
- no. 10683 - Wood-Burning Heating Appli-
ances: Installation Requirements.
- no. 9615/90 - calculation of the inner di-
mensions of fi replaces.
Specifi cally:
- before starting any installation operation,
it is important to check the compatibility of
the system as established by the UNI 10683
standard.
- after installation, the installer must "start-
up" the system and issue the documentation
required by the UNI 10683 standard.
Using Firebox
®
Smoke damper adjustment: in the event of
diffi culty clearing the smoke (low draught),
evacuation can be improved by adjusting the
screw on the damper control rod.
By turning the screw (clockwise) and closing
the door, the damper will remain slightly in-
clined, helping the smoke to fl ow out.
Ash tray: during operation, it must always be
completely closed; otherwise a "forge effect"
is created with consequent damage to the
Firebox structure and covering components.
®
Efficiency and fuel consumption: to obtain
the declared effi ciency, it is necessary to burn
3.5 - 4 kg/h of wood (depending on the model
as shown in the technical specifi cation table);
use with an excessive amount of wood may
cause damage.
When Firebox is running at full power, it gen-
®
erates a signifi cant amount of heat. There-
fore, during installation, carefully check that
there are no areas of contact with wood or
other combustible materials and that any
such materials are out of range of the heat
which radiates from the fi replace.
There should be insulation between Firebox
and these materials or a gap of at least 3 cm
with free air fl ow, to prevent excessive heat
build-up.
Special front protection panels are available
for beams on request.
Electrical connections
(for forced ventilation versions)
- These must conform to professional installa-
tion and construction standards.
- The electrical components are always live;
before any maintenance, disconnect the plug
and turn off the electrical panel of the dwell-
ing.
- Avoid contact between electrical wires, Fire-
box and the fl ue.
®
- The electrical equipment supplied with Fire-
box must not be tampered with in any way.

sult the following
"Firebox Instructions for use" attached to the
®
product.
EXTERNAL AIR INTAKE (Figs. A-B)
The connection with the outside, made with
a cross-sectional area of at least 80/200 cm²
(depending on the model) is absolutely es-
sential, as prescribed by the standard gov-
erning installation requirements (UNI 10683).
It must, therefore, be provided.
It is made with a duct that must bring outside
air directly to the adjustment mechanism
(Fig. B). The regulation mechanism must be
attached to the bottom of Firebox
During installation, carefully seal the points
where the external air may leak.
The external air duct may come from behind,
from below, from the side, or consist of a fl ex-
ible hose which runs directly from the outside
to the mechanism vent (Fig. B).
It is advisable to apply a protection grille on
the outside of the air-intake duct that does
not, reduce the air-fl ow capacity.
The external air must be drawn in at fl oor
level.
If it is not possible to do as described above,
place the external air intake as near to Fire-
box® as possible.

FLUES (Fig. N)
The Firebox® smoke outlet has a circular
cross-section. It is provided to allow the use
with EdilKamin stainless steel pipes (rigid sin-
gle-wall or insulated rigid double-wall), that
allow a quick, secure connection to the fl ue.
If the fl ue inlet is not vertical in relation to the
fi replace, the connection between the fi re-
place and fl ue must not narrow or slope by
more than 45° (1-3).
In the case of old or oversized fl ues, it is
advisable to line them with stainless steel
pipes of a suitable diameter and with suit-
able insulation. For fl ues located outside, we
recommend using the stainless In the case of
outdoor fl ues, it is advisable to use insulated
double-wall stainless steel pipes.
The constructional features, in particular as
regards mechanical strength, insulation and
gas-tightness, must be able to withstand a
smoke temperature of at least 450 °C.
Use high temperature mastic to seal where
the steel pipe connects to the Firebox
smoke outlet.
Using the rigid, stainless steel fl ue requires a
female-female fi tting on the smoke outlet of
the fi replace.
The chimney pot should be placed in full wind.
