PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
AIDA - MEDEA stoves (basic or channelled version) are
fuelled by wood pellets with electronically controlled
combustion.
Hereunder is the explanation of its functions (the letters refer
to figure 1).
The fuel (pellets) is transferred from the storage hopper (A)
to the combustion chamber (D) by means of a feed screw
(B), which is driven by a gear motor (C).
The pellets are ignited by the air that is heated by an electri-
cal resistance (E) and drawn into the combustion chamber by
a centrifugal fan (F). The fumes produced during the combu-
stion process are extracted from the hearth by the same
centrifugal fan (F) and expelled through the outlet (G) loca-
ted on the lower part at the back of the stove.
The air for heating takes two different routes, one to the right
and the other to the left of the stove (fig. 2 page 30).
The air enters the upper part on the right side of the stove
and travels through the hollow space at the back of the
hearth, where it is heated and then released into the room
through the upper front grille (H), ref. Circuit A (fig. 2
page 25).
The air enters the lower part on the left side of the stove, first
ascending and then descending and travels through the
hollow space at the back of the hearth, where it is heated and
then released into the room through the lower front grille (I)
or through the rear channelling outlet (in the channelled ver-
sion). Appropriate pipes can convey the air from the outlet to
an adjacent room (L), ref. Circuit B (fig. 2 page 30). On the
right side of the stove, the air enters the upper part (first
descending and then ascending) and travels through the hol-
low space at the back of the hearth, where it is heated and
then released into the room through the upper front grille N
(reference circuit A fig. 2 page 30).
Fuel quantity, smoke extraction and combustion air supply
are all controlled by an electronic control board, which is
equipped with Fire Control software to achieve high com-
bustion efficiency and low emissions.
The synoptic panel (M) is installed on the top, through which
all phases of operation can be displayed and controlled.A
serial port is found at the back of the stove (optional cable:
code 621240) to be connected to devices that allow remote
ignition (e.g. remote telephone, local thermostat).
The main functions can also be controlled by remote control.
The stoves have an internal structure that is made entirely of
cast iron.
Two versions are available:
• basic
• channelled.
SAFETY INFORMATION
AIDA – MEDEA stoves are designed to heat the room
where they are placed, by means of radiation and air
movement that is let out from the front grilles, through
automatic pellet combustion in the hearth.
The channelled version allows you to warm the adjoining
room by means of the air movement that is channelled
from the rear outlet.
• The only risks that may derive from using the stove per-
tain to non-compliance with installation instructions,
direct contact with live electrical parts (internal), contact
with the fire or hot parts (glass, pipes, hot air output), or
foreign substances being put in the stove.
• Only use wood pellets as fuel.
• Should components fail, the stoves are equipped with
safety devices that guarantee automatic shutdown. These
are activated without any intervention required.
• In order to function correctly, the stove must be installed
in accordance with the instructions given herein and the
door must not be opened during operation:
combustion is fully automatic and requires no intervention.
• Under no circumstances should any foreign substances
be entered into the hearth or hopper.
• Do not use flammable products to clean the smoke chan-
nel (the flue section connecting the stove smoke outlet to
the chimney flue).
• Hearth and hopper components must only be cleaned
with a vacuum cleaner.
• The glass can be cleaned when COLD with a suitable
product (e.g. GlassKamin Edilkamin) and a cloth.
• Do not clean when hot.
• Ensure that the stoves are installed and ignited by a qua-
lified Edilkamin DEALER, in accordance with the
instructions given herein.
• When the stove is in operation, the exhaust pipes and
door become very hot.
• Do not place anything, which is not heat resistant near
the stove.
• NEVER use liquid fuel to ignite the stove or rekindle the
embers.
• Do not obstruct the ventilation apertures in the room
where the stove is installed, nor the air inlets of the stove
itself.
• Do not wet the stove and do not go near electrical parts
with wet hands.
• Do not use reducers on the smoke exhaust pipes.
• The stove must be installed in a room that is suitable for
fire prevention and equipped with all that is required
(power and air supply and outlets) for the stove to function
correctly and safely.
