1-WARNINGS AND WARRANTY CONDITIONS SPARE PARTS In the event of a malfunction, consult the retailer who shall forward the call to the Technical Assistance Department. Only use original spare parts. The retailer or service centre can provide all necessary information regarding spare parts. We do not recommend waiting for the parts to get worn out before having them replaced.
2-INSTALLATION INSTALLATION FOREWORD The installation position must be chosen according to the room, smoke extraction system and flue. Check with local authorities whether there are any restrictive regulations in force regarding the combustion air inlet, the smoke outlet system, the flue or the chimneypot. The manufacturer declines all responsibility in the event of installations that do not comply with the laws in force, incorrect room air exchange, electrical connection non-compliant with the standards and inappropriate use of the appliance.
3-FLUE FLUE FOREWORD This Flue chapter has been drawn up with reference to the provisions of European regulations (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 manufacturer must be in possession of.
Page 11
3-FLUE TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS Have the efficiency of the flue checked by an authorised technician. The flue must be sealed against flue gases, 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).

5-UNPACKING IMPORTANT! The closed fireplace must be installed and connected to the smoke duct exclusively by a specialised technician, so that every local or national regulation is observed. Installation must nevertheless be carried out in accordance with regulation UNI 10683. When you unwrap the closed fireplace, make sure that every part is in perfect working order or check for any damage due to transport.
Page 29
5-UNPACKING REMOVING PACKAGE BRACKETS RELEASING THE COUNTERWEIGHTS The closed fireplace is delivered with the sliding counterweights locked to avoid dangerous counterblows during transport and positioning, which could damage the parts involved in sliding as well as the door and the glass-ceramic. To release the counterweights and therefore the door, remove the screws as shown in the figure below from both sides of the closed fireplace where the arrows stickers are positioned on both sides.
6-POSITIONING POSITIONING The PLASMA closed fireplace can be positioned in a corner or against the wall. The device can be customised with the manufacturer’s cladding or can be built on-site with high temperature resistant materials. The fireplaces are self-supporting units that simplify installation and do not require any integrated support. Closed fireplaces are fitted with particular anchoring points to facilitate handling (handling kit - not provided - see chapter on accessories) and a lifting hook (weight approximately 300/400 kg depending on the model).
Page 31
6-POSITIONING Attention!! All measurements pertaining to positioning are provided in chapter 4 in the technical data table. dR = distance from flammable material - back dF = distance from flammable material - downwards radiation dS = distance from flammable material - side dL = distance from flammable material - side radiation dB = distance from flammable material - underneath dC = minimum distance from ceiling...

6-POSITIONING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT AND LEVELLING The Plasma closed fireplace is supplied with adjustable feet which have the purpose of levelling the hearth of the closed fireplace, and have a range of about 3 cm. Anyone wishing to raise the closed fireplace by more than 3 cm will need to create a brick pedestal to set the product on. In any case do not remove the feet which are essential for levelling.
Page 33
6-POSITIONING HEAT SINK ASSEMBLY Take the kit consisting of exchanger „A“, feed screw „B“ and cleaning handle „C“ from the packaging. Proceed as follows to install the kit on the machine: • take the exchanger „A“ and insert it in the upper part • take the feed screw „B“...
7-OPERATING MODE OPERATING MODE SELECTION IMPORTANT! Before installation it is necessary to decide what system needs to be implemented. The closed fireplace has the possibility of distributing hot air in NATURAL CONVECTION (COMFORT AIR VN) mode or FORCED CONVECTION (COMFORT AIR VF) mode through the use of a forced ventilation kit. IMPORTANT! With both systems the installer is required to take down the knockout holes set up above the closed fireplace to facilitate thermal exchange and air circulation.
8-AIR INLETS EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL AIR INLET COMBUSTION AIR INLET The closed fireplace has a hole with a diameter of 150 mm for the intake of the air required for combustion. Use a hose to connect the air intake hole to the exterior of the cladding and connect it to a grid so that the route is separate from the natural or forced convection air.
8-AIR INLETS CONNECTION TO THE FLUE We recommend connecting the closed fireplace to the flue using aluminium-plated steel pipes and bends that are able to withstand the high temperatures of that section and smoke corrosion. These connections are available on request in various sizes (see our price list) and they simplify installation as they are assembled by fitting one inside the other.
Page 37
8-AIR INLETS WOODEN BEAM INSULATION The wooden beam must be protected with adequate insulation from hot parts in order to prevent the risk of fire or damage to the cladding.

9-CHOICE OF FUEL 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. FUEL Below are some useful instructions for the correct use of the product • Only burn natural, untreated wood with maximum moisture content of 20%, which corresponds to cut wood with 2 years of correct drying • All types of wood are suitable, both hard and soft: beech, maple, oak, birch, acacia, fir, pine, larch, etc.
Page 41
9-CHOICE OF FUEL FUEL: Wood In order to achieve maximum efficiency from your product, it is of utmost importance to use wood with suitable characteristics. We recommend using heating wood such as oak-beech-ash-robinia-common oak or non-resinous pressed wood logs. The latter has a high calorific value and must be used with caution to avoid harmful overheating of the product.
10-OPERATION WARNINGS BEFORE IGNITION Make sure you have read and fully understood the contents of this instruction manual. Remove all components that could burn from the firebox and door (instructions and various adhesive labels). Remove the stickers from the ceramic glass otherwise the high temperature could melt them and cause irreparable damage to the glass. The product can be positioned at in a corner or along a wall.
Page 43
10-OPERATION • Turn the fire on at moderate rate without excessively overheating the structure. With new chimneys, you might notice a smell caused by the presence of an oily film and excess paint, which will go away after lighting the fire a few times. • Do not close the rise and fall door right away, rather, leave it open by about 10 cm so that the wood can burn better and any moisture contained in it can dry.
Page 44
10-OPERATION FIRST START-UP NOTE REGARDING PAINT EXHALATION It is recommended to air the room the first time the stove is switched on, to evacuate any smells and/or fumes emitted by the paint during the drying and hardening stage due to the heat. Do not stand close to the stove and as mentioned, air the room.
Page 45
10-OPERATION The photo on the side on the side logs illustrates a tack of lighted from the wood lighted from the bottom with dry top with dry wood. wood This is the This is the most correct most common and clean way of method but not starting the fire.
11-EASY GOING COMBUSTION CONTROL The new “Easy Going” air adjustment system is based on the choice of 5 types of use of the closed firebox. PRIMARY AIR The primary air comes in directly through the openings between the casing and the structure of the closed fireplace. This air makes combustion possible.
Page 47
11-EASY GOING SECONDARY AIR The adjustment needs to be made using the same lever as the primary air. The secondary air comes out proportionately to the primary air in a pre-calculated balance that the user can never modify, risking poor adjustments. Accordingly there will never be excessive combustion. Secondary air allows the completion of combustion and increases the efficiency.
12-EASY SWITCH DOOR OPENING SYSTEM The “Easy Switch” guarantees the possibility of using either the handle or a “hands cool” element. The door of the closed fireplace can be opened using the handle or without the handle and therefore with the cold handle. With the handle: • grip handle “M”...
Page 49
12-EASY SWITCH For opening without a handle, follow the points below in the stated order; an incorrect manoeuvre could cause parts of the closed fireplace to break: • raise door “P” with handle “M” • take out the two screws “o” that secure the handle “M” • take off handle “M”...
Page 50
12-EASY SWITCH • lower door “P” Attention! Once the handle is off to lower and raise the door you need to use the cold handle “H”, provided.
Page 51
DOOR OPENING SWITCH On closed fireplaces there is a switch installed by MCZ and in the case of forced ventilation, it turns off the fans when the door of the closed fireplace is open (see the relative manual for the basic-slim comfort air kit).
13-ACCESSORIES ACCESSORIES PASSE-PARTOUT Passe-partout “F” is used for installations without cladding. It is attached to the structure by screws “x”. All of the relative instructions are inside the kit. Installation on right or left fireplaces 75/95. PARETE...
Page 53
SPACER Spacer “G” is supplied to compensate for the hole between the closed fireplace and the craft cladding. MCZ claddings already compensate for this hole. It is attached to the structure by screws “x”. All of the relative instructions are inside the kit.
Page 54
13-ACCESSORIES HANDLING KIT The handling kit is supplied to simplify closed fireplace transport operations. The kit is composed of four handling units “R”, and four chimney holding bars “B”. If the fireplace is Plasma 75/95 RH/LH, bars “B” must not be used. All of the instructions are contained in the kit.
14-MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING ATTENTION! All cleaning operations of all parts need to be carried out when the closed fireplace is completely cold; make sure that the ashes are out, use personal protective equipment and use appropriate maintenance equipment. CLEANING UNDER THE USER’S RESPONSIBILITY CLEANING THE GLASS To clean the glass, use specific products (see our price list) or a cloth dipped in water and ammonia solution or a little white ash and a sheet of newspaper.
Page 56
14-MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING ASH REMOVAL We recommend cleaning the hearth suitably for correct combustion. Use a metal pan and a brush to remove the ash from the hearth and place the ash non-flammable containers for transport. Hot ashes must not be stored outside unsupervised or thrown into the rubbish bin. Allow them to cool down in the open air in a metal container.
Page 57
14-MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING CLEANING PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN CLEANING THE CHIMNEY We recommend the mechanical cleaning of the flue at least once a year; excess build-up of unburned waste could cause problems with the smoke outlet and start a fire in the flue pipe itself. To access flue cleaning from the appliance, remove the smoke deflector: to slide it out correctly, lift the front of it and at the same time push it forwards to detach it from the rear supports.
Page 58
14-MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING Third step: Insert an 80mm diameter brush up the chimney hood for the section of the exchanger (80-90cm) and clean it. To facilitate this operation the system has been equipped with a handle “C” to rotate the device 360° so that it goes all the way up. Fourth step: Once all components have been cleaned, mount the fume deflector(s) in the special joints again.
Page 59
