REQUISITES OF THE PLACE OF INSTALLATION
Positioning
The initial phase for better installation of the insert is
that of identifying its best location. Evaluate the following elements to do this:
Possibility of creating an external air vent;
Possibility of creating a straight flue and possibly coaxial at the insert outlet;
Proximity to the main liquid collector and /or the boiler if one already exists);
Proximity or ease of connection to the water system;
Ease of access for cleaning the insert, the flue gas exhaust pipes and the flue.
The insert must be installed on a floor with suitable load capacity. If the existing building does not fulfil this requirement appropriate measures (e.g. load
distribution plate) must be taken.
Once the best location for the appliance is determined, it is possible to position the insert, following the indications below.
IF THE INSERT IS INSTALLED IN A TRADITIONAL HEARTH, ALREADY EXISTING, POSITION IT AS FOLLOWS:
1.
Check that the support surface has the features indicated below:
it must be able to support the weight of the insert and any accessories.
It must have consistency such to allow anchorage using plugs, in maximum safety. If this is not the case, it is indispensable to make a new floor in
reinforced cement with metal mesh over the previously-cleaned fire surface.
It must be perfectly level.
The embrasures must be as perpendicular tot he surface as possible.
2.
Check that the housing compartment is big enough to hold the insert.
After having checked the conditions necessary for correct installation, proceed with assembly:
3.
House the insert with the base in the heart compartment and, once the correct position has been decided, make the holes for anchorage of the base to
the surface.
4.
Block the insert base using the relative expansion plugs. This operation must be performed with great care in order to prevent the structure
tipping during extraction of the insert.
5.
Make the hydraulic and electrical connection and also connect the flue with respect to the Standards in force.
N.B.: during the hydraulic and electrical connection it is IMPORTANT to check that the flexible hoses and the electric cable has an extension
that allows the complete travel of the insert guides, towards the outside of the hearth.
IF THE INSERT IS INSTALLED AS "NEW SYSTEM", POSITION AS FOLLOWS:
1.
Check that the support frame support surface has the features indicated below:
it must be able to support the weight of the insert and any accessories.
It must have consistency such to allow anchorage using plugs, in maximum safety. If this is not the case, it is indispensable to make a new floor in
reinforced cement with metal mesh.
It must be perfectly level.
2.
Rest the support frame at the wall and anchor it using the relevant expansion plugs.
This operation must be performed with great care in order to prevent the structure tipping during extraction of the insert.
3.
Make the hydraulic and electrical connection and also connect the flue with respect to the Standards in force.
N.B.: during the hydraulic and electrical connection it is IMPORTANT to check that the flexible hoses and the electric cable has an extension that
allows the complete travel of the insert guides, towards the outside of the hearth.
4.
Assemble the external covering.
Do not cover the insert for at least 6-7 days, in order to verify the tightness of all hydraulic joints of the insert itself.
Spaces around and above the insert
The figure below indicates the minimum measurements to be respected when positioning the insert with respect to the walls and/or the two "covering"
embrasures (if the latter cannot be easily removed).
The space existing between the walls of the insert and the hearth compartment can be closed via a compensation frame that must be easily removable if
maintenance is to be performed on the insert.
It is recommended to make lateral or rear inspections for any maintenance.
