REMARKS ON INSTALLATION
Note that:
• installation must be carried out by authorised
technical personnel;
the appliance must be installed and operated in
compliance with local and national law and European
regulations. The Italian reference standard is UNI
10683; in France one must follow the instructions in the
DTA (Document Technique d’Application), www.cstb.fr
• if installed in a condominium, the appliance must
be approved by the administrator;
• if installed in public premises, check and follow
local regulations for this type of installation.
Here are a few general instructions, although these do
not obviate the need to comply with local regulations
and do not affect the installer's liability for the
installation.
Remember that Vyda Air Tight is sealed, in other
words, if it is installed correctly with the air inlet pipe
connected to the outside, it takes the majority of the
air from the outside. For different countries, check if
there are particular installation conditions allowed for
sealed stoves.
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* (see the note in the
paragraph on the heat protection)
• Level the appliance
• Pursuant to Standard 10683 rev. 2012 point 6.3, in
Italy you can also install the appliance in bedrooms
or in rooms which already include a product that
takes air from it for combustion, provided that the
air inlet is connected to the outside
• Do not install the product in spaces where there is
a risk of fire or explosion
• In Italy, check the compatibility pursuant to UNI
10683 and UNI 7129 in the presence of gas fired
products.
INSTALLATION
Protection from heat and safety clearances
The surfaces of the building adjacent to the product
must be protected against overheating.
The insulation to be used will depend on the type of
surface in question.

FLUE SYSTEM
(Fumes duct, flue and chimney pot)
This 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
expelled in complete safety.
Before positioning the appliance, the installer must
check that the flue is suitable.
FUMES DUCT, FLUE
The fumes duct(which connects the combustion
chamber smoke 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 on the wall
or into an enclosed space, even if the space in
question is open to the sky
• be made of material with rated fire reaction class
A1 as 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 where the
installation of combustion heat generators is
prohibited or there is risk of fire, or that cannot be
inspected
• must enable the recovery of soot and be open for
inspection
• must have a maximum of 3 bends with a maximum
angle of 90°
• if there is a horizontal section, it can have a
maximum length of no more than 3 metres,
depending on the draw. Note, in any case, that
long sections encourage the accumulation of dirt
and are harder to keep clean.
THE FLUE:
Further to the general prescriptions for the smoke duct
and flue, the flue:
• must only be used for discharging fumes
• must be correctly sized to satisfy the requirements
for fume discharging (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
• preferably provide a collection chamber for
unburnt residues and condensates
• if pre-existing, must be clean, to prevent fire
hazards
• 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 (In every country and specially
in France, check on the specific waiver conditions)
• must be anti-downdraught
• 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.

ENGLISH
COMBUSTION AIR INTAKE
The inflow of necessary air for combustion, of air for
glass cleaning and heating air renewal must come
from the outside
Sealed stoves can also be installed in
passive houses. In this case, the air inlet
must be a direct air inlet
The stove takes the air from the outside via the air inlet
hole.
Install an air intake with an effective surface area (net
of the mesh or other protective equipment) at least
equal to the cross section of the air inlet hole.
Connect the air intake to the appliance's air intake with
a pipe that may also be flexible. Increase the diameter
of the pipe if the pipe is not smooth or if it is necessary
due to load losses: assess the load losses.
We recommend that it does not exceed 1 metre in
length or include any bends.
If you are not interested in the sealing
feature of the appliance, you can create
an indirect air intake, even if this is not
recommended
Install an air outlet at floor level with an effective sur-
face area (net of the screen or other protections) of at
least 80 cm2(diameter 10 cm).
To prevent draughts, we recommend installing the
intake behind the product or behind a radiator.
Installing it in front of the appliance will create
unpleasant draughts.
The air may be drawn from an adjacent room only if:
• the flow is taken from permanent, unobstructed
openings communicating with the outdoors
• the air pressure in the adjacent room is never
reduced to a level below outdoor pressure
• the adjacent room is not a garage, subject to fire
hazard, a bathroom or a 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.
INSTALLATION
INSTALLER
USE OF CONCENTRIC PIPES
Without prejudice to the general instructions, you can
use concentric pipes (which provide for the passage of
smoke inside and the passage of the combustion air
into the external circular ring).
This type of installation only needs one hole in the wall,
instead of having one hole for the air intake and one for
the smoke discharge.

CHECKINGTHEELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
(the power socket must be located in an
easily accessible position)
The stove is equipped with an electrical power cord or
connection to a 230V 50 Hz socket, preferably with an
electromagnetic switch.
Variations in voltage of more than 10% can compromise
the operation of the stove.
The electrical system must be compliant; check the
operation of the earth in particular.
Edilkamin is not responsible for malfunctions resulting
from an improperly earthed 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 stove.
Power up the stove by setting its switch from 0 to 1.
There is a 4 A fuse on the socket with switch located at
the rear of the stove.
