Installation - EdilKamin MEG PIU Installation, Use And Maintenance Manual

The plumbing connection must be formed by qualifi ed
personnel that are able to issue a declaration of conformity
in terms of Ministerial Decree 37 ex Law 46/90.
All local and national laws and European standards must be
met when installing and using the appliance. In Italy, refer
to the UNI 10683 standard, as well as any regional or local
health-authority regulations.
It is necessary to refer to regulations in force in each country. If
installing in an apartment building, check with the management
company fi rst.
VERIFY COMPATIBILITY WITH OTHER DEVICES
In Italy the boiler-stove MUST NOT be installed in the same
space as type B gas heating equipment (e.g. gas boilers, stoves,
and equipment served by an extraction hood) as the stove
may cause a vacuum in the space which may compromise or
infl uence how these units work.
VERIFYTHE POWER SUPPLY
CONNECTION
(the plug must be accessible)
The boiler-stove is supplied with a power cable that is to be
connected to a 230V 50 Hz socket, preferably fi tted with a
magnetothermic switch.
The electrical system must comply with the law; particularly
verify the effi ciency of the earthing system.
The power line must have a suitable cross-section for the boiler
power.
An inadequate earthing system can cause anomalies for which
Edilkamin cannot be held liable.
FIRE SAFETY DISTANCES AND LOCATION
For correct operation the boiler-stove must be level.
Check the load-bearing capacity of the fl oor.
The boiler-stove must be installed in compliance with the fol-
lowing safety conditions:
- fl ammability items must be kept at a minimum distance of 10
cm from the sides and back of the boiler-stove
- highly fl ammable items must be kept at a minimum distance
of 80 cm if placed in front of the boiler-stove
- if the boiler-stove is installed on a fl ammable fl oor, a sheet of
heat insulating material must be placed between the boiler-sto-
ve and the fl oor, which protrudes by at least 20 cm at the sides
and 40 cm at the front.
Flammable objects must not be placed above the boiler-stove
or at a distance that is any less than the stipulated safety distan-
ces. If connected to wooden walls or other fl ammable mate-
rials, the smoke exhaust pipe must be appropriately insulated
with ceramic fi bre or other similar material.
AIR INLET
(to be mandatorily implemented)
The room where the boiler-stove is located must have an air in-
take with cross section of at least 80cm
of the air consumed by combustion.
Alternatively, the boiler-stove air may be taken directly from
outside through a 5 cm steel extension of the pipe. In this
case,there may be condensation problems and it is necessary to
protect the air intake with a grille, which must have a free-
section of at least 12 cm². The pipe must be less than 1 metre
long and have no bends. It must end with section at 90° facing
downwards or be fi tted with a wind guard. In any case all the
way air intake duct must be a free section of at least 12 cm².
The external terminal of the air inlet channel must be protected
with an anti-insect netting that does not reduce the 12 cm²
through passage.

INSTALLATION

SMOKE OUTLET
The boiler-stove must have its own smoke outlet (the smoke
cannot be discharged into a smoke fl ue used by other devices).
In Germany, discharge can be by multiple fl ue with explicit
verifi cation on the part of a chimney-sweep.
The smoke is discharged through the 8 cm diameter outlet at
the back of the boiler-stove. A T-junction must be set up with a
condensation collection stopper at the beginning of the verti-
cal section. The smoke outlet must be connected to outside by
means of suitable steel pipes EN 1856 certifi ed.
All piping must be hermetically sealed and, if necessary, insu-
lated.
To seal the various elements of the piping together, materials
resistant to high temperatures must be used (silicon or mastics
for high temperatures).
The pipe must be hermetically sealed. The material used to seal
and if necessary insulate the pipes, must be resistant to high
temperatures (high temperature silicone or mastic).
The only horizontal section allowed may be up to 2 m long.
It may have up to three 90° bends.
If the outlet is not fi tted into a chimney fl ue, a vertical section
and a wind guard are required (reference UNI 10683).
The vertical duct can be internal or external.
If the smoke channel (part of the pipe that goes from the boiler-
stove to the chimney fl ue) is outside, it must be appropriately
insulated. If the smoke channel is fi tted inside a chimney fl ue,
the latter must be suitable for solid fuel.
If it is wider than 150 mm in diameter it must be improved by
entering a pipe that has a suitable cross-section and is made of
suitable material (e.g. 80 mm diameter steel).
All sections of the smoke duct must be accessible for inspec-
tion. If it is not removable, it must have inspection holes to
allow for cleaning.
The boiler-stove is designed to operate under any weather
conditions.
In the case of particularconditions, such as strong winds, safety
systems may intervene that extinguish the thermo stove. In this
case, do not operate the appliance while the safety devices are
disabled. If the problem persists, contact the Service Centre.
TYPICAL EXAMPLES

to ensurereplenishment
A: insulated steel chimney fl u, Insulated
B: minimum height 1.5 m, and however beyond the eaves of the roof
C-E: air intake from outside (through section at least 80 cm²)
D: steel chimney fl ue inside existing masonry chimney fl ue
CHIMNEY POT
The main characteristics are:
- an internal cross-section at the base, which is the same as that
of the chimney fl ue
- an outlet cross-section which is no smaller than twice that of
the chimney fl ue
- its position must be high enough to catch the wind and avoid
downdraft areas in turbulent wind..
