3. REGULATIONS FOR INSTALLATION

It is obligatory to respect the National and European rules, local regulations concerning building matter and
also fireproof rules.
Your usual local chimney sweeper has to be informed of the installation of this equipment, in order to verify
the correct connection of the same to the stack.
Before the installation perform the following checks
•
Make sure that the floor can support the weight of the appliance and provide for a proper insulation
in case it is built using flammable material.
•
Make sure that in the room where it will be installed there is a proper ventilation (presence of air
intake)
•
Avoid the installation in rooms with presence of common ventilation ducts, hoods with or without
extractor, gas devices of type B, heat pumps or the presence of appliances whose simultaneous
operation can cause depression in the room (Ref. Standard UNI 10683/98)
•
Make sure that the flue and the pipes to which the appliance will be connected are suitable for the
operation of the same.
•
Always leave the recommended air pocket between the insert and the walls, rear and side min.
6cm. (see Figure 13 - Figure 14)
It is recommended that you have your local usual chimney sweeper check both the connection to the stack
and the sufficient air inflow for the combustion in the installation room.

4. FIRE-FIGHTING SAFETY MEASURES

While installing the appliance, it is necessary to respect the following safety measures (Figure 2):
a) In front of the hearth there must not be any flammable object or construction material sensitive to
the heat at least within 80 cm; This distance can be reduced to 40 cm if you will install in front of the
element to protect a retro ventilated and heat resistant protection.
b) Should any appliance be installed on a floor not completely refractory, it is necessary to foresee a
fire-resistant foundation, for example a steel footboard (dimensions according to the local
regulations)
The insert must work exclusively with inserted ash drawer.
Solid combustion residuals (ashes) must be collected in an air-tight and fire-resistant container. The device
must never be switched on when there are gaseous emissions or vapors (for example glue for linoleum,
gasoline etc.). Do not deposit flammable materials close to the same.
Warn children that the insert becomes very hot and that it must not be touched.
Protection of the floor with
incombustible material.
