Installation - EdilKamin NILO Installations-, Betriebs- Und Wartungsanleitung

Refer to local regulations in the country of use for anything
that is not specifically covered in this manual. In Italy, refer
to standard UNI 10683/2005 in addition to any Regional or
Local Health Authority regulations.
If the stove is to be installed in a block of apartments, con-
sult the block administration before installing.
VERIFY COMPATIBILITY WITH OTHER
DEVICES
The stove must NOT be installed in the same room as extractors,
type B heating appliances and other appliances that may affect
its operation.
VERIFY THE POWER SUPPLY CONNECTION
(the plug must be accessible)
The stove is supplied with a power cable that is to be connected
to a 230V 50 Hz socket, preferably fitted with a magnetother-
mic switch. Voltage variations exceeding 10% can damage the
stove (unless already installed, an appropriate differential
switch must be fitted). The electrical system must comply with
the law; particularly verify the efficiency of the earthing system.
The power line must have a suitable cross-section for the sto-
ve's power. An inadequate earthing system can cause anomalies
for which Edilkamin cannot be held liable.
POSITIONING
The stove must be level for it to function correctly.
Verify the bearing capacity of the floor.
FIRE PREVENTION SAFETY DISTANCES
The stove must be installed in compliance with the following
safety conditions:
- medium flammability items must be kept at a minimum
distance of 40 cm from the sides and back of the stove
- highly flammable items must be kept at a minimum
distance of 80 cm if placed in front of the stove.
If it is not possible to comply with the above mentioned
distances, technical and construction-related provisions
must be taken to prevent fire hazards. If connected to wooden
walls or other flammable materials, the smoke exhaust pipe
must be appropriately insulated.
Distance from flammable material
Floor protection
AIR INTAKE
There must be an air inlet behind the stove with a minimum
diameter of 80 cm². This must be connected to
outside in order to guarantee sufficient air supply to the
stove for combustion. Alternatively, the stove air may be taken

INSTALLATION

directly from outside through a 4 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 a sec-
tion at 90° facing downwards or be fitted with a wind guard.
SMOKE OUTLET
The stove must have its own smoke outlet (the smoke
cannot be discharged into a smoke flue used by other
devices).
The smoke is discharged through the 8 cm diameter outlet at the
back of the stove. The smoke outlet must be connected to outside by
means of suitable steel pipes and must be free from obstructions.
The stove smoke discharge must be connected with outside by
means of steel or black pipes EN 1856 certified. The pipe line must
be hermetically sealed. The pipes must be sealed and insulated using
materials that are 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 two 90° bends. If the outlet is not fit-
ted into a chimney flue, a vertical section and a wind guard are requi-
red (reference UNI 10683/2005). The vertical duct can be internal
or external. If the smoke channel is outside, it must be appropriate-
ly insulated. If the smoke channel is fitted inside a chimney flue, 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 diame-
ter steel). All sections of the smoke duct must be accessible for
inspection. The chimney pots and smoke ducts connected to the
solid fuel appliances must be cleaned once a year (verify whether a
specific legislation exists in your country). Failure to regularly
inspect and clean the stove increases the probability of a fire occur-
ring in the chimney pot. In that case, proceed as follows: Do not use
water to extinguish the fire; Empty the pellet hopper; Contact spe-
cialist personnel before reigniting the stove.
TYPICAL EXAMPLES
Fig. 1
CHIMNEY POT
The main characteristics are:
- an internal cross-section at the base, which is the same as that of
the chimney flue
- an outlet cross-section which is no smaller than twice that of the
chimney flue
- its position must be high enough to catch the wind and avoid
downdraft areas in turbulent wind..
