FAQ
The answers shown here summarize the information found in these specifications.
1) What fittings do I need in order to install Idrofox?
Smoke outlet of at least 80 mm in diameter (the outlet must ONLY receive smoke from Idrofox).
Air intake in the room of at least 80 cm
2
.
¾” G manifold outlet and inlet.
¾” G outlet to drain for overpressure valve.
Coupling for ¾” G filling line.
Connection to an electrical system compliant with standards, with a 230V +/- 10% 50 Hz thermal-magnetic
circuit breaker.
Refer to page 4 for dimensions. Read the safe installation information on page 8.
THE FLUE MUST ONLY RECEIVE SMOKE FROM IDROFOX
2) Can I use the stove without connecting it to the domestic water system?
NO. Use without water damages the stove.
3) Does the Idrofox stove give out hot air?
NO. All the heat goes where it is needed: to the water. Part of the heat produced is radiated into the room. It is
advisable to fit the room with radiators.
4) Can I connect the stove inlet and outlet directly to a radiator?
NO, like all other water heaters, they must be connected to a manifold from which the water is distributed to the
heat emitting units (radiators).
5) Does the Idrofox stove also provide domestic hot water?
It is possible to produce it using our kit No. 4 (consisting of a heat exchanger, three-way valve, high temperature
valve and regulator) or produce it and store it with one of our water heaters (see plumbing diagrams). This use
reduces the power available to the radiators.
6) Can the Idrofox smoke outlet pass directly through the wall?
NO, there must be a vertical section of at least 1,5 metres. Otherwise, a small amount of smoke may be perceived
in the room in the event of power failure or wind.
THE FLUE MUST ONLY RECEIVE SMOKE FROM IDROFOX
7) Does there have to be an air intake in the room?
Yes, to replenish the air in the room. There is no direct connection between the air intake and the stove: the
smoke extractor draws air from the room and supplies it to the combustion chamber.
8) What do I have to set on the stove display?
The water temperature required: the stove modulates the power on the basis of this setting to attain or maintain it.
For small systems, the stove may be programmed to turn on and off according to the water temperature reached.
9) How often do I have to clean the combustion chamber?
Ideally before each stove ignition, while cold before turning it on. Clean the chamber AFTER CLEANING THE
PIPES WITH THE BRUSHES and operating the cleaning scrapers (see p. 16)
10) Should I vacuum clean the pellet hopper?
Yes, at least once a month or if the stove has not been used for a long time.
11) Can I burn other things apart from pellets?
NO. The stove is designed to burn pellets. Other materials may damage it.
12) Can I turn the stove on with a mobile phone text message?
Yes, if the TAC or an electrician has installed a suitable dialler (contact an electrical shop) at the electronic
circuit board AUX PORT (see p. 5).
