ASSEMBLY
Positioning
The initial phase for the best installation of the fireplace heating
system is to determine its optimal location; regarding this the following data needs to be taken into account:
Possibility of creating an external air vent; Possibility of creating a straight flue and possibly coaxial at
the fireplace heating system outlet;
Possibility of creating piping necessary to discharge
boiling;
Proximity to the main liquid collector and /or the boiler if
one already exists);
Proximity or ease of connection to the water system.
Once the best location for the appliance is determined, it is possible to position the fireplace heating system following the indications below.
The appliance 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.
The minimum safety distance from inflammable materials must be at least 300 mm from the fireplace heating system.
Appliance installation must guarantee easy access for cleaning the appliance itself, the gas pipes and the flue.
The air extraction devices must not be used in the same room as the appliance, unless an adequate ventilation air supply is envisioned.
Page 15
15
Air vent
Modern houses are all equipped with hermetic fittings, which do not allow any air to pass. To burn one Kg of wood about 15 m3 of air is required (in fireplaces with closed hearth) and 40 m3 in fireplaces with open hearth. If the combustion of the wood inside the combustion chamber is perfect, the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) produced will be
equal to that absorbed by a living plant via the “chlorophyll
photosynthesis” process. The lack of oxygen leads to bad and incomplete combustion, which only makes partial use of the wood's energy and instead of developing carbon dioxide (CO2) causes the formation of carbon monoxide (CO), a highly toxic substance. Consequently it heats less and pollutes more.
This is why fireplace absolutely require an external air vent.
To realise the air vent in the wall behind the fireplace heating system, follow the indications given below:
IMPORTANT: Make an external air vent respecting the following minimum passages:
Solution A: 650 cm2 (Ø 30 cm)
Solution B: 390 cm2 (Ø 22 cm)
It is also mandatory to create a hood aeration grid "C" with minimum passages, 390 cm2 (Ø 22 cm), without filters or closures;

N.B.: It is important that the grid communicates with the external
air vent without connection via pipes.
If it is not possible to realise the air vent in the wall behind the fireplace heating system, make the hole in a perimeter wall where the fireplace heating system is installed. If it not possible to realise the external air vent in the same room where the fireplace heating system is installed, this hole can be made in an adjoining room as long as this room communicates permanently, by means of a transit hole (20cm minimum diameter).
The UNI 10683 Standard PROHIBITS the withdrawal of combustion air from garages, combustible material warehouses, or from activities where there is a fire hazard.
If there are other heating or suction appliances in the room, air vents must guarantee an air volume necessary for the proper functioning of all devices.
Only sealed appliances (e.g. C type gas appliances, according to the UNI 7129 Standard) or appliances that do not cause a lower pressure compared with the external environment can pre-exist or be installed in the place where the fireplace heating system must be installed.
Extractor fans can cause functioning problems to the thermo stove when they are installed in the same room or space where the fireplace heating system is found.
Page 17

Flue and connection to the same
The Flue is a fundamental component for correct functioning of the fireplace heating system. The minimum section of the flue must be that indicated in the fireplace heating system technical features (250 mm). Each fireplace heating system must be equipped with its own flue,
without other intakes (boilers, fireplaces, stoves, etc…). Flue
dimensions are closely related to its height, which must be measured from the fireplace heating system flue gas outlet to the chimney base. In order to guarantee draught, the chimney flue outlet surface must be twice as big as the flue section. The combustion products exhaust pipe, generated by the natural draught appliance, must respond to the following requisites:
Combustion products sealed, waterproof and suitably isolated
and insulated in the same way as the conditions of use (cf UNI
9615);
Realised with suitable materials in order to resist to normal
mechanical stress, heat, action of the combustion products and in the event of condensation;
Upward alignment after the vertical tract throughout the
remaining pathway with 50% minimum gradient. The sub­horizontal alignment part must not have a length greater than ¼ of the effective height of the flue or chimney and it must not however be longer than 2,000 mm;
Preferably circular internal section: squared and rectangular
sections must have rounded angles with radius larger than 20 mm;
Constant, free and independent internal section; Rectangular sections with 1:5 maximum ratio between the
sides;
If the flue is installed externally it is absolutely necessary
that it is insulated in order to avoid the flue gas cooling and the formation of condensate;
For the assembly of the flue gas pipes (which go from the
appliance to the flue inlet) elements of non-combustible material must be used, which are suitable for resisting combustion products and their condensation;
It is forbidden to utilise fibre cement pipes to connect the
appliances to the flue;
Page 18
18
Flue pipes must not pass through places in which the
installation of combustion appliances is forbidden;
The assembly of flue pipes must be performed in a way to
guarantee the sealing against flue gas for the appliance functioning conditions in low pressure;
The assembly of horizontal tracts is prohibited, unless
absolutely necessary;
It is forbidden to use tilted elements; The flue gas pipe must allow the recovery of soot or be
cleanable and must have a constant section;
It is prohibited to make other air intake channels and pipes, for
plant engineering, transit inside the flue gas pipes, even if over-dimensioned.
Page 19

Chimney
The chimney is a device crowning the flue, used to ease dispersion of combustion products. It must satisfy the following requisites:
Have a useful outlet section that is not less than the double
of that of the flue on which it is inserted;
Be conformed in a way to prevent the penetration of rain
and snow into the flue;
Be built in a way that, also in the case of winds from every
direction and inclination, to ensure combustion exhaust. The outlet height (where height means that which corresponds to the top of the flue, independently of any chimneys) must be outside of the so-called reflow zone in order to prevent the formation of counter­pressures, which prevent free exhaust of the combustion products into the atmosphere. It is therefore necessary that the minimum heights, indicated in the following figures, are respected:

CONNECTIONS
Electrical connection
The electric connection must only be performed by qualified staff, with respect to general and local Safety Standards in
force.
Check that the power supply voltage and frequency correspond to 220 V – 50 Hz.
Appliance safety is obtained when the same is correctly connected to an efficient earth plant. In the electric connection to the mains power supply, envision a 6 A – Id 30 mA differential magnet circuit breaker switch with relevant breaking load. The electric connections, including the earth, must be made after the voltage has been removed from the electric plant. When realising the system remember that the cables must be placed in an unmovable and away from parts subject to high temperatures. During the final wiring of the circuit, only use components with a suitable electric protection rating.
KLOVER srl declines all responsibility for injury to persons, animals or damage to objects deriving from the failure to connect the network to the fireplace heating system earth plant and failure to comply with the IEC Standards.

Electric control unit
The electric control unit (supplied with the fireplace heating system on request) is used to control and command the start-up of the pump and any motorised 3-way valves.
It is composed of:
master switch (used to supply power to the control unit
itself);
pump adjustable thermostat (used to activate or
deactivate the pump on reaching, or not, the temperature
we set on the thermostat itself);
valve adjustable thermostat (used to exchange any
motorised valve on reaching, or not, the temperature we set
on the thermostat itself. It is normally used for the DHW
connection with coupling to another boiler);
aux thermostat (used to control any service associated
boiler);
service thermostat (used to activate or deactivate the
circulation pump on reaching, or not, the temperature we
set on the thermostat itself);
thermometer (indicates the temperature of the water inside
the fireplace heating system);
acoustic alarm (it activates whenever the water of the
body-boiler reaches and exceeds the temperature of 90-
95°C);
For the connection to the control unit, consult the layout inside the box of the same.
The control unit has an internal fuse T 3,15A.

Control of any 3-way valve for the DHW circuit
The fireplace heating system control unit (supplied on request with he fireplace heating system) is equipped with a control as per standard for any motorised 3-way valve to be installed on the domestic hot water circuit. The control unit electric control board has three clamps (VALVE) to be used to control this 3-way valve. The three clamps on the electric control board have the following function:
N = COMMON TO 3-WAY VALVEL ON = FIREPLACE HEATING SYSTEM SIDEL OFF = GAS BOILER SIDE
Below find a connection example using a 3-way valve with spring return. Remember that the hydraulic connection must be made in a way that when the valve is at rest, the water passes from the gas boiler. Only when the fireplace heating system temperature is sufficient (value set on the valve thermostat), the 3-way valve is powered and therefore closes the gas boiler circuit and opens the fireplace heating system circuit.

Control of any coupled boiler
If the fireplace heating system is to be coupled with another boiler already installed in the system (e.g. wall-hung gas boiler), it must be ensured that when the fireplace heating system functions for the heating system, the boiler stops. So the fireplace heating system intervenes on the coupled boiler when the temperature set in the aux thermostat of the wood-burning fireplace heating system control unit is reached. In this way, there will never be two boilers functioning simultaneously in the same system. The coupled boiler will always be able to be used for the production of domestic hot water.
It is therefore easy to connect the clamps with the two wires connected to a relay that will control the Room Thermostat inlet of the coupled boiler.

LINEA: Connect the 1 and 2 clamps to the electrical power supply. AUX: This is used to control a boiler associated with the heating system.
Therefore connect the 4 and 5 clamps (or 3 and 4 depending on the type of connection to the associated boiler) to the TA (Room Thermostat) contact of the boiler. It is then possible to check the boiler associated with the temperature on the AUX thermostat; above the set temperature the associated boiler turns off and on again only below the set temperature
VALVOLA: Connect the 6, 7 and 8 clamps to the 3-way motorised valve. It is used to control a motorized 3-way valve (or two 2-way motorised valves) installed in the dhw system. The valve opens the circuit with temperatures higher than those set on the VALVE thermostat (230V voltage on clamps 6 and 7) and close the circuit with lower temperatures (230V voltage on clamps 7 and 8).
SERV: Connect clamps 9 and 10 to the circulation pump. This is used to control the circulation pump installed on the fireplace heating system. The circulation pump will operate at temperatures higher than those set on the SERV thermostat. We recommend setting temperatures ranging between 35°C and 40°C for the SERV thermostat to optimize the yield for the water and prevent condensation, which would damage the body of the fireplace heating system, from forming.
POMPA: Connect the clamps 13 and 14 to the pump of the heating system. This is used to control the pump installed on the heating system. The heating pump will operate at temperatures higher than those set on the PUMP thermostat. We recommend setting the pump thermostat at temperatures greater the 55°C to prevent condensation, which would damage the body of the fireplace heating system, from forming.
SONDA: Connect the water temperature probe to clamps 18 and 19. This is used to detect the water temperature inside the fireplace heating system. if the probe is not connected, the control unit's display shows “Lo”; if the probe is in short-circuit, the display shows “Hi”.
LIVELLOSTATO: Connect the level switch (water level sensor) to clamps 20 and 21. This is used to report the water level inside the body of fireplace heating system has not been reached.

Hydraulic connection
The hydraulic connections must be made in a rational mode. The fireplace heating system can be coupled to any other boiler already installed in the system; naturally it is indispensable to insert the due safety devices and shut-offs according to the system used.
N.B.: THE SYSTEM MUST BE DIMENSIONED WITH AVERAGE
FLOW TEMPERATURE OF 55°C.
IF THE FIREPLACE HEATING SYSTEM IS INSTALLED AS
THE ONLY SOURCE OF HEATING, IN ALL CASES IT IS DEEMED NECESSARY THAT THE SYSTEM IS SUPPLIED WITH: CLOSED EXPANSION VESSEL, FILLING UNIT, SYSTEM SAFETY VALVE (2.5 BAR), DHW SAFETY VALVE (6 BAR).
THE FIREPLACE HEATING SYSTEM MUST BE INSTALLED EXCLUSIVELY BY QUALIFIED STAFF. SCRUPULOUSLY
COMPLY WITH THAT STATED IN THIS GUIDE;
ALL LIABILITY IS DECLINED FOR DAMAGE CAUSED BY INCORRECT ASSEMBLY.
REMEMBER TO INSERT THE CONTROL UNIT PROBES AND BULBS INTO THE APPROPRIATE HOUSINGS. DO NOT PASS ELECTRIC CABLES IN THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY OF THE FLUE GAS PIPE, UNLESS THEY ARE INSULATED WITH SUITABLE MATERIALS. IN THE CASE OF WATER WITH FIXED RESIDUE AT 180°C THAT EXCEEDS 300 MG/L IT IS INDISPENSABLE TO INSTALL A WATER SOFTENER UPSTREAM FROM THE FIREPLACE HEATING SYSTEM INLET.

FIREPLACE HEATING SYSTEM COVERING
When installation has been completed, do not cover the fireplace heating system for at least 6-7 days, in order to verify the tightness of all hydraulic joints of the fireplace heating system itself.
BEFORE COVERING THE FIREPLACE HEATING SYSTEM, DISASSEMBLE THE TWO DOOR LOCK ANGLES AND CHECK THAT THE STEEL CABLE IS INSIDE THE METAL WHEEL GROOVE.
All of the front part must be on view and able to be inspected. The two angles for inspection of the wheel and steel rope must be easily accessible also after the fireplace heating system has been covered.
If the fireplace heating system should have defects or breakage, the warranty excludes all hydraulic disassembly and re-assembly works, any masonry work and any other intervention that is made necessary in order to remove the fireplace heating system from the covering.
The plasterboard hood must be easy to inspect and/or disassemble. An inspection hole must be made (see following figure) in order to access the upper part of the fireplace heating system.
Page 35

COMMISSIONING
Filling the system for the first time
After having connected the fireplace heating system, fill the system as follows:
Loosen the caps of any air vent valves; If necessary, very slowly loosen the pump/s vent valve cap,
making the fluid flow for a few seconds;
Have the system filled very slowly in order to allow air
bubbles to escape from the system through the air bleeding valve;
Bleed all radiators and any other deaeration systems
present in the system in order to ensure that there are no air bubbles;
When installation has been completed, do not cover the fireplace heating system for at least 6-7 days, in order to verify the tightness of all hydraulic joints and of the fireplace heating system itself.
BEFORE COVERING THE FIREPLACE HEATING SYSTEM, DISASSEMBLE THE TWO DOOR LOCK ANGLES AND CHECK THAT THE STEEL CABLE IS INSIDE THE METAL WHEEL GROOVE.
All of the front part must be on view and able to be inspected. The two angles for inspection of the wheel and steel rope must be easily accessible.
Page 37
37
Filling the fireplace heating system
When the system has been filled, then fill the fireplace heating system via the float. It is recommended to install a ball valve in the fireplace loading pipe in order to isolate the float if the same should break. Regulate this ball valve in a way that the
pressure of the float cock is not particularly high (LESS THAN 1 BAR).
Regulate the float dipstick in a way that the exchangers are completely inside the fireplace heating system water.
THE BEST LEVEL IS REACHED WHEN THE WATER EXCEEDS THE COPPER HEAT EXCHANGERS BY A FEW CENTIMETRES.
N.B.: IF THE FIREPLACE HEATING SYSTEM IS INSTALLED AS
THE ONLY SOURCE OF HEATING, IN ALL CASES IT IS DEEMED NECESSARY THAT THE SYSTEM IS SUPPLIED WITH: CLOSED EXPANSION VESSEL, FILLING UNIT, SYSTEM SAFETY VALVE (2.5 BAR), DHW SAFETY VALVE (6 BAR).
Never empty the water inside the fireplace heating system
so as not to compromise the duration of the same.
Page 38

Ignition
Perform the following operations:
Before switching the fireplace heating system on, make
sure that the control unit switch is on;
Make sure that there is water in the system; Regulate the thermostat that controls the pump to a
temperature of 55-60 °C;
Open the smoke damper completely (optional); Open the primary air front slots; Open the hatches or lift the vertical sliding door; Light the fire using seasoned, thin wood, if possible; When the wood has ignited well, close the doors, adjust the
smoke damper and the combustion agent air via the front
slots;
NEVER IGNITE THE FIREPLACE HEATING SYSTEM USING ALCOHOL OR OTHER HIGHLY INFLAMMABLE LIQUIDS.
Remember always to open the smoke damper and close the primary air front slots a few seconds before loading the fireplace heating system with new wood in order to prevent the backflow of smoke into the environment.
Page 39
39
Boiling
If for any reason (power cut, a pump fault, too much wood, etc…), the
water in the fireplace body reaches boiling point, carry out the following operations immediately, IN SPITE THAT THE FIREPLACE
HEATING SYSTEM GUARANTEES ABSOLUTE SAFETY:
Open the fireplace heating system smoke damper; Open the DHW cock and leave the water to run until the
temperature in the fireplace body drops (only for models
connected to the DHW plant);
Open the hatches or the vertical sliding door; Close the primary air front slots completely
After having ascertained the reason for the high temperature, wait for every thing to go back to normal (temperature below 60°C) check on the control unit that the water level LED is not on and, if necessary, open the cold water load from the float.
Anti-freeze protection
In intensely cold periods it is good practice that the heating system remains running. In the case of prolonged absence, anti-freeze must be added to the heating water or the system must be completely emptied. In a system subject to being emptied frequently it is indispensable that filling is performed with water that has been appropriately treated to eliminate hardness that can lead to lime scale deposits.
Functioning principle
The fireplace heating system is just a wood-burning boiler made in a way to be able to be inserted into a traditional fireplace. You therefore have the pleasure of seeing the flame through the ceramic glass like in a normal fireplace, but the radiators in the home are also heated and DHW is supplied for all of the family. The fireplace heating system can be integrated into an appliance that is already installed (gas boiler, diesel oil boiler or wood-burning etc...) or can function as a unique source of heating for the home.

MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the body-boiler
Punctual and systematic maintenance is a fundamental component for perfect functioning, excellent heat yield and duration of the appliance through time. It is therefore recommended to clean the boiler body periodically (at least once a year).
Before performing any cleaning or maintenance, make sure that the fireplace heating system is off and completely cold and that the ash is also cold.
The special manufacturing design means it is easier to access the elements. To clean the elements just open the large door and access all parts affected by flue gas.
It is possible to reach all points affected by the flue gas by acting as follows:
Use the brush supplied to clean the 4 slanted elements of the flue gas pass
inside the combustion chamber.
Page 41
41
Any deposits on the walls of the combustion chamber (if particularly resinous wood is burned) can be eliminated by making the fireplace heating system work at maximum conditions for 30-40 minutes (in this case take the thermostat to 85°C) by burning dry wood or, even better, charcoal. Leave the fire to go out and then scrape the inside walls using a steel spatula. We recommend you periodically remove ash from the base of the combustion chamber in order to always ensure a efficient flow of combustion agent air.
Cleaning the ceramic glass
Only clean the ceramic glass when the fireplace heating unit is off and completely cold. Use a damp cloth and specific detergent for ceramic glasses. Do not use abrasive sponges. To clean the glass is essential to open the door fitted with a "hinge opening".
To open the hinged door you should release the designated hook as shown
in the photo. The vertical sliding door must be open.
Page 42
42
To close the hinged door, you should push both at the top and at the
bottom - as shown in the photo - making sure that both parts are fixed
correctly when they are fastened.
Cleaning the flue
The flue must be cleaned at least once a year at the start of the winter season, and also every time it is necessary.
If it is not cleaned, the functioning of the fireplace heating system and its components may be jeopardised.
The frequency of cleaning of the fireplace heating system and the flue depend on the quality of the wood used.
USE TOP QUALITY WOOD IN ORDER TO OBTAIN THE BEST RESULTS.
Page 43
43
Maintenance of the boiler body
The fireplace heating system is equipped with a special magnesium anode to protect the boiler body and stainless steel heat exchangers from corrosion due to stray currents in the system.
This anode protects from galvanic corrosion.
The anode must be controlled at least once a year and replaced when its diameter measures less than 15 mm. To inspect the boiler body, remove the upper lid fixed using
the four knobs. To replace the anode, just loosen it and screw-in the new one, paying attention that the latter does not come into contact with the stainless steel heat exchangers.
NEVER EMPTY THE WATER INSIDE THE FIREPLACE HEATING SYSTEM SO AS NOT TO COMPROMISE THE DURATION OF THE SAME.

THE WOOD TO BURN
Wood features
Wood is one of the most precious materials offered by nature. For heating purposes, it must be verified that the features of the wood satisfy some important requisites that must not be ignored, the most important of which is without a doubt the correct seasoning or drying, in other words the wood must have the correct amount of humidity, around 10-15%, therefore also the period of the year in which it is felled becomes important. This should coincide with the winter period. The correct seasoning (at least 2 years) allows to have a fuel with excellent yield and not very pollutant. It must be kept in covered, well-aired places, already cut appropriately into pieces suitable for the hearth of the fireplace heating system. The wood is divided into softwood and hardwood on the basis of the weight kg of a cubed metre of material. A softwood that weighs about 300- 350 kg/m3 is fir, pine, poplar, European alder, chestnut, willow, while hardwood that weighs about 350-400 kg/m3 is beech, ash, carpine, acacia and oak. Softwood ignites easily, is consumed quickly and develops a long flame and is used in ovens that require a long flame pass. Hardwood is more compact, the combustion is slower with short flame, it lasts longer and is more suitable for domestic central heating. The wood to be burned for heating purposes has different features according to the plant variety from which it is obtained. Not all woods are the same and the features regarding the drying time and the calorific value vary from plant to plant. The calorific value depends on the level of humidity and its density. Top quality woods are beech, ash carpine and acacia. Avoid resinous woods as they could compromise the duration of the fireplace heating system. In fact, resinous woods have a rather sooty combustion and therefore, the flue and fireplace heating system must be cleaned more often.
Page 45
45
The calorific value of the different types of wood depends greatly on their humidity and consequently the power of the fireplace heating system is directly affected by the type of wood used, on average a well-seasoned wood has a calorific value of 3200 kcal/kg. Calorific value of wood depending on its humidity:
CALORIFIC VALUE of the wood means the amount of heat yielded during combustion, referring to the unit quantity of the material burned. The calorific value of a wood species depends on the presence of lignin (6000 Kcal/Kg) or cellulose (4000 Kcal/Kg) as well as the abundance of resin (8500 Kcal/Kg). The calorific value relative to the unit of weight ( = absolute) id highest in Conifers
Conifers absolute calorific value: 4700 Kcal/Kg  Broad-leaved species absolute calorific value: 4350
Kcal/Kg.
In opposition the SPECIFIC WEIGHT of the “broad-leaved species” is greater; therefore equal volumes introduced into the fireplace heating system, both the weight and amount of heat available for combustion are greater; in practice the relative calorific value is higher (referring to a unit of volume). Example: the calorific value of the white fir is practically the same as that of the oak, but the oak has a specific weight that is double that of the fir. Therefore half the volume of oak must be introduced into the fireplace heating system in order to have the same "heat" obtained with the fir.

USEFUL ADVICE
1. The temperature of the thermostat that controls the pump must never
be set below 55 °C.
2. The fireplace heating system must have a pump and the warranty
becomes null and void if it is mounted without connecting the control
unit thermostat (use KLOVER control units).
3. When priority is to be given to DHW (for prepared models only), take
the pump thermostat to 75°C (or set the DHW function) and burn small
pieces of dry wood in order to increase the flame. After use of the
DHW, lower the thermostat to 55-60 °C.
4. Open the smoke damper before loading the wood.
5. Never empty the content of the water from the fireplace heater
system, so as not to compromise the duration of the same.
