INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Important warnings
Before positioning the fireplace, take
into consideration that which is indicated
in its final covering's data sheet; These
indications show the user how to posi-
tion the fireplace away from the wall, if
necessary, as well as how to support it
above floor level and how to evaluate
the best position for the air-intake holes.
Aside from that which is indicated in this
document, the user should take the fol-
lowing UNI standards into consideration:
- no. 10683/2005 - Heating ap-
pliances fired by wood or other solid
biofuels: Installation requirements
- n. 9615/90 - Calculation of inside
dimensions of chimneys.
In particular:
- it is very important to verify the system's
compatibility, as established by the UNI
10683/2005 standard (paragraphs
4.1/4.1.1/4.1.2), before starting any
assembly operations.
- Once assembly has been com-
pleted, the installer must perform the
"start-up" operations and provide the
documentation prescribed respectively
by paragraphs 4.6 and 5 of the UNI
10683/2005 standard.
Verify the proper function of the
connections, of the controls and of all
of the moving parts before installing the
fireplace cover.
This inspection must be performed
for a few hours while the fireplace
is on and has reached its full operating
temperature, before installing the fireplace
covering, so that any necessary intervention
will not be hindered. Afterwards, perform the
final installation procedures, for example:
- assembly of the surrounding chimney
structure
- installation of the fireplace covering
- pilaster installation, painting, etc. should
only be performed after all of the inspec-
tions have been passed.
Edilkamin shall bear no responsibility for
costs deriving from either demolition or
reconstruction, even as a consequence
of work required for replacing any parts
deemed defective.

Foreword
• SCREEN fireplaces, in order to guarantee
complete system safety and efficiency, must
be installed in accordance with the instruc-
tions provided below.
•Read these instructions carefully before
assembling and installing the system.
•EDLIKAMIN shall bear no responsibility for
any damage deriving from the inobservance
of these instructions. In such cases, the war-
ranty rights for the system in question shall be
considered void.
•SCREEN fireplaces come pre-assembled on
a disposable pallet.
The fireplace's internal lining comes pre-
installed.
•A model identification label has been
applied to the back of the fireplace; this label
will be visible until the fireplace has been
covered externally.
A model identification number is also provi-
ded on the documentation which accompa-
nies the product.
Building protection
All of the building's surfaces which are
adjacent to the fireplace must be protected
against overheating.
The amounts of insulation to be employed
depend upon the type of surfaces present
and upon how they have been constructed.
Hot air outlets / Grilles
The hot air outlets must be positioned at a
minimum distance of 50 cm from the ceiling
and of 30 cm from any furniture.
In order to avoid heat accumulation within
the covering itself, position the grilles or the
hot air outlets in the uppermost part of the
covering. Position the grilles of the hot air
outlets in such a way so that they can be
easily accessed for cleaning.
Thermal insulation for protecting
walls, ceilings, etc. The layers of insula-
tion should not be joined, but rather should
be overlapped. The insulation must be at
least 3 cm thick.
Ornamental beams
Ornamental wooden beams may be installed
in front of the fireplace, but they must be out
of its range of irradiation at a distance of at
least 1cm from the covering itself.
This space, which isolates the ornamental
elements, must be sufficient so as not to
allow for heat accumulation.
The ornamental beams must not be an inte-
gral part of the building.

Flooring in front of the fireplace
Floors made from combustible materials must
be protected by a sufficiently thick fireproof
covering. The floor's protection must extend
to a distance equal to:
frontally:
- the height of the fire bed from the floor plus
30 cm, and a minimum of 50 cm regardless.
laterally:
- the height of the fire bed plus 20 cm, and a
minimum of 30 cm regardless
Within the fireplace's range of irra-
diation
The structural elements made from combusti-
ble materials, or which contain combustible
components, as well as any furniture must
be located at a minimum distance of 80 cm
from the fireplace, in all three directions:
in front, above and on the sides. If these
elements are screened by anti-irradiation
protections, a distance of 40 cm shall be
considered sufficient.
Outside the fireplace's range of
irradiation
The structural elements made from combu-
stible materials, or which have combustible
components, as well as any furniture must be
located at a minimum distance of 5 cm from
the fireplace's covering. In this cavity, the air
present must be able to circulate freely and
must never provoke heat accumulations.
Electrical wiring
No electrical wirings may be present in the
adjacent walls and ceilings, including within
the fireplace's lodging.
Adjustable stand
The stand allows for the fireplace to be
positioned at a height of about 44 cm off the
ground. For special installations, the stand
can be lowered to about 15 cm by having
qualified personnel remove the parts of the
tubes shown in the figure. The lines along
which they should be cut are marked by the
manufacturer. Wherever possible, the stand
should be fastened to the floor with the 4 sup-
plied anchoring screws, passing them through
the "B" holes, or else with the 4 supplied
tangs, passing them through the "A" slots.
Installation implemented in an existing
fireplace (without a stand).
SCREEN can be installed in existing fireplaces
(only the natural convection version) by
removing the air box and the stand.
Therefore, a pipe must be connected to the
back part for the combustion air intake.
