Assembly And Installation; Smoke Duct - EdilKamin Evolution CHIC Installation, Usage Et Maintenance

ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION

The stove is delivered on a pallet inside a cardboard box. First of all, remove the stove from its packaging, check that the model
is the one ordered, and make sure it has not been damaged during transportation. Any complaints must be made to the carrier (in
writing on the accompanying consignment note) upon receipt. Refer to the local regulations in the country of use for assemby and
anything else not expressly shown. In Italy, refer to standard UNI 10683/2005, along with any regional or local health authority
regulations. If the stove is to be installed in a condominium, consult the administration before installing.
COMPATIBILITY WITH OTHER DEVICES
According to the regulation UNI 10683/05, the stove must NOT be installed in the same room as extractors, type B gas equipment
or any device creating vacuum conditions.
Warning: extraction fans operating in the same room can cause problems.

SMOKE DUCT

The smoke duct connects the smoke outlet to the flue inlet. The smoke duct must be made with steel or ceramic rigid pipes.
Flexible metal pipes or fibre-cement pipes are not allowed. Horizontal and counterslope sections should be avoided. Any
cross-secion change should be made in correspondence of the stove outlet and not at the flue inlet.
Angles greater than 45° are not allowed (see figures 1,2,3,4 ). The connection between the smoke duct and the steel flue should be
sealed with high temperature resistant mastic.
FLUE
- 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 stove, the position of the flue must be taken into account in order to prevent incorrect smoke duct paths; the
size of the flue must comply with the specifications indicated in the technical data (see table at page 14). We recommend using
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 (we recommend a minimum height of 3.5 - 4 m).
- We recommend fitting a chamber at the base of the flue to collect solid material and any condensate. Dilapidated flues and flues
made of unsuitable materials (asbestos, galvanized steel, corrugated iron, etc.) with rough or porous internal surfaces are illegal
and detrimental to stove operation.
- The flue should be used for one single stove only (it cannot receive the outlet of other fireboxes)
- For a good draught, the flue should be free from obstructions, such as bottlenecks, horizontal sections and sharp edges; any
nonvertical
sections should slope by not more than 45° from the vertical (fig. 3).
- If the flue to be used has previously been used for other stoves or fireplaces, it must be carefully cleaned to prevent faulty opera-
tion
and avert the risk of unburnt deposits on the internal flue walls catching fire.
- In normal working conditions, the flue must be cleaned at least once a year.
- For optimal operation, the flue draught must create a pressure drop between 0.12 and 0.2 mbars. Lower values may lead to
unpleasant smoke emissions when loading the stove and produce excessive soot deposits; higher values would lead to excessively
fast combustion and a decrease in thermal efficiency. To fall within the correct values, refer to the UNI Standard 10683/2005 table.
- 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 40
cm higher than the others.
Please refer to the chapter of the UNI 10683/2005 regulation regarding positioning of chimney pots.
- We recommend installing a fire damper on the smoke duct.
