INFORMATION FOR INSTALLERS
N.B.:
- Wood-burning stoves must be installed "in a workmanlike manner" in compliance with the SAFETY REGULATIONS in force and, most impor-
tantly, by qualified expert staff.
- We advise you to read these instructions and general rules of conduct carefully in order to get the most from your wood-burning stove.
- Furthermore, due to the distinct characteristics of each installation, Italiana Camini declines all responsibility for breakdown, damage or mal-
function caused by failure to comply with these instructions for use.
CAUTION:
The stove has been designed to work with the door closed only. Heat is propagated by radiation and convection simultaneously.
INSTALLATION
- The stove is delivered on a pallet covered with a cardboard box. The first thing to do is remove the stove from its packaging, check that the
model is the one ordered, and make sure it has not been damaged during transport. Any complaints must be made to the carrier (in writing on
the accompanying consignment note) when the stove is received.
- Before positioning the stove, make sure the flue is suitable for the smoke produced. The fact an old oven or stove connected to the same flue
worked correctly does not necessarily mean the new one will work well.
- When installing the wood-burning stove, take the position of the flue into consideration; the size of the flue must comply with the specifications
shown in the table in these instructions. It is advisable to use insulated circular section flues made of refractory material or stainless steel, with
smooth internal walls. The flue cross-section should be constant for its whole length (a minimum height of 3,5 - 4 m is advisable). It is advisa-
ble to fit a chamber at the base of the flue to collect solid material and any condensate. Dilapidated flues and flues made of unsuitable mate-
rials (asbestos, galvanized steel, corrugated iron, etc.) with rough or porous internal surfaces are illegal and detrimental to stove operation.
- The room where the stove is installed must have a suitable outside air intakewith a through surface area of at least 200 cm
2
to replenish the
burnt oxygen and ensure an adequate flow of combustion air.
- Place the stove (DIS. 1) away from flammable materials and objects; leave a distance of 80 cm from furniture and at least 10 cm from the wall.
These distances are for furniture or walls which are either fireproof or able to withstand being raised to an environmental temperature of 80° C
without overheating to the point that they catch fire. The air circulation which is created around the stove thanks to these distances ensures effi-
cient ventilation and improves thermal efficiency.
- If the stove is installed on a floor made of a flammable material, it is advisable to place it on a steel plate, which is available as an optional
extra.
- For a good draught, the flue should be free from obstructions, such as bottlenecks, horizontal sections and sharp edges; any non-vertical sec-
tions should slope by not more than 45° from the vertical.
- The smoke connection between the stove and flue (smoke duct) must have the same cross-section as the stove smoke outlet pipe. Any horizon-
tal sections must not exceed 2 metres in length and must have an upward gradient of 8 - 10 cm per metre towards the flue. A maximum of two
90° bends may be fitted.
- The chimney pot must have a wind guard, an internal section equivalent to that of the flue, and smoke outlet cross-section at least twice that
of the internal flue cross-section.
- To avoid problems with the draught, every stove must have its own independent flue. If there are several flues on the roof, the others should be
at least 2 metres away and the stove chimney pot should be at least 50 cm higher than the others.
Figures 2 and 3 (pag. 42) show the UNI Standard 10683/2005 requirements regarding distances between chimney pots and their positions.
