Installation; Air Intake; Chimney Pot - EdilKamin FUNNY 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.

Floor protection

AIR INTAKE

There must be an air inlet behind the stove with a mini-
mum diameter of 80 cm². This must be connected to the
outside in order to guarantee sufficient air supply to the
stove for combustion. Alternatively, the air for the stove

INSTALLATION

can be drawn in through a ø 4 cm pipe connecting the opening
on the back of the stove itself to the outdoors. In this case,
there may be condensation problems and it is necessary to pro-
tect 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 section at 90° facing dow-
nwards or be fitted with a wind guard.
SMOKE OUTLET
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 EN 1856 certified. The pipe must be
hermetically sealed. The material used to seal and if necessary insu-
late the pipes, must be resistant to high temperatures (high tempera-
ture 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 fitted into a chimney flue, a vertical section and a
wind guard are required (reference UNI 10683/2005). The vertical
duct can be internal or external. If the smoke channel is outside, it
must be appropriately 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-sec-
tion and is made of suitable material (e.g. 80 mm diameter 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 occurring in the
chimney pot. In that case, proceed as follows: Do not use water to
extinguish the fire; Empty the pellet hopper;
Contact specialist personnel before reigniting the stove.
TYPICAL EXAMPLES

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..
