Installation - EdilKamin FORMA 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 type B
heating appliances and other appliances that may affect its ope-
ration.
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.

AIR INTAKE
FORMA and TWIN are suited for installation even in hou-
ses defined as "passive". In this case it is essential to draw
the air for the stove, connecting the nozzle on the rear of
the stove itself to the outside using an 8 cm diameter tube.
In all other types of houses, FORMA and TWIN can be
installed in the conventional manner and; therefore, also
using air from the room (respect technical reference stan-
dards) It is a good idea to protect the air intake with a
screen; the intake must be at least 50 cm² in diameter.

INSTALLATION

The pipe must be less than 1 metre long and have no
bends. It must end with a section at 90° facing downwards
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 connec-
ted to outside by means of suitable steel pipes EN 1856 cer-
tified. The pipe must be hermetically sealed. The material
used to seal and if necessary insulate the pipes, must be resi-
stant 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 fitted into a chimney flue, a vertical section and a wind
guard are required (reference UNI 10683/2005). The verti-
cal 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 lat-
ter 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 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 probabi-
lity of a fire occurring in the chimney pot. In that case, pro-
ceed as follows: Do not use water to extinguish the fire;
Empty the pellet hopper;Contact specialist personnel befo-
re reigniting the stove.
The stoves are not suited for use with coaxial pipes for
smoke evacuation and combustion air intake, as this could
enter the stove at temperature that is too high. Coaxial
tubes no longer than 3m in length may be used. In any
case, the stove stops if the air is too hot.
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..
