  • Page 3: Introduction

    INTRODUCTION Dear Customer, Our boilers are designed and built in compliance with the European regulation EN 303-5 (manual or automatic loading solid fuel boilers). They also meet the essential requirements of directive 2006/95/EC (Low Voltage) and directive 2004/108/EC (Electromagnetic Compatibility). To get the best performance out of your boiler, we suggest you read the instructions in this manual carefully before starting it up for the first time.

  • Page 5 1-WARNINGS AND WARRANTY CONDITIONS • Many of the surfaces of the product get very hot (door, handle, glass, smoke outlet pipes, etc.). Avoid coming into contact with these parts, without adequate protective clothing or suitable implements, such as gloves with thermal protection or “cold handle” operating systems. • It is forbidden to operate the product with the door open or the glass broken.
  • Page 6 1-WARNINGS AND WARRANTY CONDITIONS • Do not stand for a long time in front of the product in operation. Do not overheat the room you are in and where the product is installed. This could cause injuries and health problems. • Install the product in a location that does not present a fire hazard and is equipped with power and air supplies and smoke outlets.
  • Page 7 1-WARNINGS AND WARRANTY CONDITIONS INFORMATION • If there are any issues, contact the retailer or a qualified technician authorised by RED. In the event of a repair, request the use of original spare parts. • Only use types of fuel recommended by RED (for Italy, pellets with a 6 mm diameter and pellets with a 6-8 mm diameter for other European countries), which must only be loaded with an automatic feed system.
  • Page 8 1-WARNINGS AND WARRANTY CONDITIONS EXCLUSIONS The warranty does not cover malfunctions and/or damage to the appliance that arise due to the following causes: • Damage caused during transportation and/or handling • all parts that develop faults due to negligence or improper use, incorrect maintenance, installation that does not comply with the manufacturer’s instructions (always refer to the installation guide provided with the appliance) •...
  • Page 9 1-WARNINGS AND WARRANTY CONDITIONS SPARE PARTS In the event of a malfunction, consult the retailer who will 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.
  • 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 negative pressure (draught) of a flue depends on its height. Check the negative pressure 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 chimney pot 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.
