ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION (TAC - technical assistance centre)
Refer to the local regulations in the country of use for anything not expressly shown. In Italy, refer to UNI standard
10683/2005, along with any regional or local health authority regulations. If the insert is to be installed in a block of
flats, consult the block administration before installing.
COMPATIBILITY CHECK WITH OTHER DEVICES
The insert must NOT be installed in the same room as extractor fans or type B gas equipment.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION CHECK (THE PLUG MUST BE IN AN ACCESSIBLE PLACE)
The insert is fitted with an electrical power cord for connection to a 230 V 50 Hz socket, preferably protected with a
thermal-magnetic circuit breaker. Voltage variations of greater than 10% may impair insert operation (fit a suitable
residual current circuit breaker if not already installed). The electrical system must comply with the law; in particular
make sure the earth circuit is in working order. The power supply line must have a suitable cross-section for the
equipment rating.
FIRE SAFETY DISTANCES AND LOCATION
The insert must be level for correct operation.
Check the load-bearing capacity of the floor.
The insert must be installed in compliance with the following safety conditions:
- minimum safety distance at the sides and back from medium-level flammable materials: 40 cm
- easily flammable materials must not be located less than 80 cm from the front of the insert
If it is impossible to comply with the distances given above, technical/building measures must be taken to avoid all fire
risks.
If the smoke outlet pipe is connected to walls made of wood or other flammable materials, it must be insulated with
ceramic fibre or other materials with similar characteristics.
AIR INTAKE
An outside air intake with cross section of at least 80 cm
2
must be provided behind the insert to ensure sufficient air for
combustion.
Alternatively the air intake must be located in the room where the insert is installed and two suitable intake grilles must
be provided in the structure built around the insert.
It is advisable to ventilate the inside of the building work around the hood with air input from below, which leaves
through the grilles fitted at the top by convection, thus allowing heat recovery and preventing excessive overheating.
SMOKE OUTLET
The insert must have its own smoke outlet (it must not discharge into flues shared with other devices).
The smoke leaves the insert through the 8 cm diameter pipe on the cover.
The insert smoke outlet must be connected with the outside using suitable steel pipes, without obstructions
The pipe seals must be air-tight. To seal and insulate (if necessary) the pipes, material that withstands up to 300°C must
be used (silicone or high temperature mastic).
The horizontal sections may be up to 2 m long. Up to two bends with maximum curvature of 90° may be included.
If the smoke outlet does not end in a flue, a vertical section with wind guard at the end is essential (refer to UNI
standard 10683/2005). The vertical duct section may be indoor or outdoor. If the smoke duct* is outdoor, it must be
suitably insulated.
If the smoke duct* ends in a flue, the flue must be authorized for solid fuel. If it is more than 150 mm in diameter, it
must be renewed by inserting an internal pipe and sealing the smoke outlet from the brickwork.
All sections of the smoke duct* must be inspectable. If it is fixed, cleaning inspection openings must be provided.
Possible installation layouts are shown in figure 2 (A, B, C and D) on p. 9.
