REMARKS ON INSTALLATION
Note that:
• The appliance may only be installed by a qualified
technician authorised to issue the declaration of
conformity.
• The appliance must be installed and operated
in compliance with local and national law and
European regulations. The applicable Italian
regulation is UNI 10683.
• If installed in a condominium, the appliance must
be approved by the administrator.
We give some general instructions below, however
these do not obviate the need to comply with local
regulations and do not affect the installer’s liability for
the installation.
Checking the suitability of the installation
space
• The room must have a volume of at least 30 m3
• The floor must be able to bear the weight of the
product and its accessories.
• Level the appliance
• The appliance may not be installed in a bedroom,
bathroom or in the same room as other equipment
which draws air for combustion from the room
itself, or in any area with an explosive atmosphere.
Any extraction fans operating in the same room or
area as the product, may affect its draw.
• In Italy, check the compatibility pursuant to UNI
10683 and UNI 7129 in the presence of gas fired
products.
Protection from heat and safety clearances
All adjacent surfaces must be protected against
overheating.The insulation to be used will depend on
the type of surface in question.Observe the following
clearances from flammable materials:
- 10 cm at the sides and back
Positioning the product
The product is designed to operate in all climatic
conditions. In special circumstances, such as strong
wind, its safety equipment may switch the fireplace off.
Contact the authorised Edilkamin Technical Assistance
Centre.
INSTALLATION
FLUE SYSTEM
(Fumes duct, flue and chimney pot)
Thsi chapter has been drawn up pursuant to European
regulations EN 13384, EN 1443, EN 1856 and EN
1457. The installer must observe both these and any
other local regulations. This manual does not in any
way substitute such regulations.The product must
be connected to a flue system which ensures that
the fumes produced by combustion are exhausted in
complete safety.
Before positioning the product, the installer must
check that the flue pipe is properly rated.
FUMES DUCT, FLUE
The fumes duct (which connects the hearth’s fumes
outlet with the flue) and the flue itself must, among
other regulatory requirements:
• receive the fumes from a single product (the outlets
of multiple appliances may not be conveyed into
a single flue)
• be routed vertically for the most part
• have no downwards sloping sections
• preferably have a circular internal cross section, or
with a ratio of the sides of less than 1.5
• terminate at roof level with a proper chimney pot:
the flue may not discharge directly from the wall
or into an enclosed space, even if the space in
question is open to the sky
• be made of material rated fire reaction class A1 per
UNI EN 13501 or analogous national regulations.
• be certified, with a chimney plate if metal
• be of uniform cross section or vary in cross section
only immediately after the outlet, not at some mid
point of its length
THE FUMES DUCT
Further to the general prescriptions for the fumes duct
and flue, the fumes duct:
• may not be made of flexible metal material
• must be insulated, if routed through unheated
areas or outdoors
• must not be routed through rooms in which the
installation of combustion heat generators is
prohibited, or subject to fire hazard, or which
cannot be inspected.
• must enable the recovery of soot and be open for
inspection
• must have at most 3 bends, through an angle of
no more than 90°
• must have a single horizontal section of length
no more than 3 metri, depending on the draw.
Note in any case that long sections promote the
accumulation of dirt and are harder to keep clean.

ENGLISH
INSTALLATION
EXTERNAL AIR INTAKE
In general, we suggest two ways to ensure a proper
flow of combustion air.
Air intake without direct connection to the
appliance
Install an intake at floor level with effective area (net of
the mesh or other protective equipment) of at least 80
cm2 (10 cm dia.).
To prevent draughts, we recommend installing the
intake behind the fireplace or behind a radiator.
Installing it in front of the appliance will create
unpleasant draughts.
Air intake with direct connection to the
appliance
Install an air intake of effective area (net of the mesh or
other protective equipment) at least equal to that of the
air intake at the back of the product.
Connect the air intake to the appliance’s air intake
with a tube (which may also be flexible).Increase the
diameter of the pipe if it is not smooth: assess its load
loss.
We recommend not exceeding a 1 m length and
curving the tube at most one time, depending on the
draw of the flue.
The air may be drawn from an adjacent room only if:
• the flow is taken from permanent and unobstructed
openings communicating with the outdoors;
• the adjacent room is never in underpressure
relative to the outdoors;
• the adjacent room is not a garage. subject to fire
hazard, a bathroom or bedroom
• the adjacent room is not a shared room in the
condominium
In Italy, UNI 10683 provides that ventilation is sufficient
even if a pressure difference between the outdoors
and indoors of no more than 4 PA is guaranteed (UNI
EN 13384-1). The installer who issues the declaration
of conformity is responsible for ensuring these
conditions.
THE FLUE:
Further to the general prescriptions for the fumes duct
and flue, the flue:
• must serve solely to exhaust fumes
• must be correctly sized to satisfy the requirements
of fumes exhaust (EN 13384-1)
• should preferably be insulated, in steel with a
circular internal section. If rectangular, the corners
must have a radius of not less than 20 mm, with a
ratio of the internal dimensions of <1.5
• must normally be at least 1.5 metres in vertical
length
• must have a constant cross section
• must be waterproof and thermally insulated to
ensure a good draw
• must preferable have a collection chamber for
• If pre-existing, must be clean, to prevent the fire
hazard.
• in general, we recommend fitting a tube inside the
existing masonry chimney if its diameter is greater
than 150 mm.
INTUBATED SYSTEM:
Further to the general prescriptions for the fumes duct
and flue, the intubated system:
• must operate in negative pressure;
• must be open to inspection
• must observe local regulations.
THE CHIMNEY POT
• must be windproof
• must have an internal cross section equivalent to
that of the flue and a fumes outlet at least double
that of the interior of the flue
• for dual flues (which should be spaced at least 2
m apart) the chimney pot receiving the fumes from
the solid fuel appliance or that from the higher
storey, must be at least 50 cm higher than the other
• it must extend beyond the back flow zone (in Italy,
refer to UNI 10683 point 6.5.8.)
• it must allow for maintenance of the chimney VENTILATION AIR EXCHANGE
In addition to the combustion air inlet (which must
draw air from the outside as described above), and
the booster vents, an opening at least 10x10 cm is size
must be made for the ventilation air exchange. This
hole should be made in the cover.

ELECTRICAL AND AUXILIARY HOOKUP
The appliance is equipped with an electrical power
cord for connection to a 230V 50 Hz socket, preferably
with a trip switch.
Variations in voltage of more than 10% can compromise
its operation.
The electrical system must be compliant; check
the operation of the earth in particular. Edilkamin is
not responsible for malfunctions resulting from an
improperly grounded system. The power line must be
of adequate section for the power of the appliance.
The power cable must not come into contact with the
flue or other hot parts of the product.

Installing two ventilated air vents
You need:
two ventilated air vents (models of your
choice) two accessory kits for air vents.
Pellkamin 12 can be combined with the following
Edilkamin air vents:
To ensure correct operation, it is essential that the technician adjusts the parameters
according to the type of installation (also ducting or not), during the first ignition.
The ventilation will not function properly if the technician does not adjust the parameters.
The air vents are not included in the product but you
can choose, at the retailer’s, which of the five available
models described above best suits your taste. The
warm ventilation air must be ducted to the
outside.
