INSTALLATION AND USE MANUAL

2. INSTALLATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH UNI 10683

2.1. OPERATING AREA

For good operations and good heat distribution, the fireplace stove should be positioned in a place where the air required for combustion can flow (at least 60 m standards and current regulations in the country of installation.

The room volume must not be less than 60 m

Air must enter through permanent apertures on the walls (near the fireplace stove) that open outdoors with a minimum section of 360 cm

These apertures (air vents) must be made so as not to be obstructed in any way.

Air can also be taken from adjacent rooms as long as these are equipped with outdoor air vents and not bedrooms or bathrooms or rooms where fire hazards do not exist such as garages, wood sheds, flammable material warehouses, strictly observing the provisions of current regulations.

• Fireplace stoves may not be installed in

bedrooms, bathrooms and where another heating device is installed without autonomous air flow (fireplace, stove, etc.).

• Placing the fireplace stove in explosive

environments is prohibited.

• The floor of the room where the fireplace stove

is to be installed must be strong enough to support its weight.

• In the event of wood floors, install a protective

covering in accordance with current regulations in the country of installation.

• If walls are not flammable, install the fireplace

stove at least 5 cm from the walls.

/h must be available) according to installation

Chapter 2

page

2.2. PRECAUTIONS

The fireplace stove must be installed in a suitable surface that permits routine opening and maintenance operations.

The room must be:

• suitable for room operating conditions

• equipped with power supply 230V 50 Hz (EN73-23)

• equipped with an adequate smoke exhaust system

• equipped with outdoor ventilation

• provided with an earth connection complying with CEI 64-8

IMPORTANT!

• The fireplace stove must be installed and

assembled by qualified personnel.

• The fireplace stove must be connected to a flue

pipe or other vertical smoke stack that can discharge smoke at the highest point of the house.

• The fireplace stove must be connected to a flue

pipe or an internal or external vertical duct conforming to current standards UNI 7129 7131 9615.

• Smoke is generated from burning wood and,

therefore, may dirty adjacent or nearby walls.

• Before positioning the fireplace stove, you must

make a hole for the intake of external air.

2.3. EXTERNAL AIR OUTLET

INSTALLATION AND USE MANUAL

Chapter 2

page

The room where the stove is installed must have at least as much air as requested by normal combustion of the equipment and by room ventilation. This may take place through permanent apertures in the room walls that lead directly outdoors or ventilated rooms according to UNI 10683 REV.

For this purpose, drill a hole with minimum 360 cm² free section near the fireplace stove (22 cm diameter or a 20x18cm rectangle), protected by an indoor and outdoor grille.

The air intake must also:

• directly communicate with the installation room

• be protected by a grill, made of metallic anti-insect mesh or a

suitable protection as long as it does not reduce the minimum section.

• be installed so as to avoid obstruction

• for ducts, up to 3.5 linear metres, increase the section by about

5% while increased by 15% for larger measurements.

Remember that the ventilation grills always have a cm

useful section on one side. When selecting the grill and hole dimension, make sure the useful grill section is greater than or equal to the section required by MCZ for product operations.

Connecting the air outlet directly to the fireplace stove is not mandatory but the above mentioned section must guarantee about 50 m³/h of air. See standard UNI 10683 REV.

IMPORTANT! Air flow may also be obtained from a room adjacent

to the installation room as long as this flow is free through permanent apertures that directly communicate with the outdoors; avoid air outlets connecting with heating units, garages, kitchens or bathrooms.

INSTALLATION AND USE MANUAL

2.4. CONNECTION TO THE FLUE PIPE

Chapter 2

page

The connection to the flue pipe is a very important element. The connection must be made with a great deal of care; in the event of erroneous or anomalous construction, it is extremely difficult to remedy without damaging the hood liner. In addition, the connection is made in a part of the stove where temperatures are very high, and for this reason it is important to use materials that are capable of resisting heat and also the acidity of the fumes produced by combustion.

Before beginning work, please note the following:

• The connecting pipe must have a maximum slope of 45

degrees. This is to avoid excessive deposit of condensation produced in the initial phases of lighting the fireplace stove, and/or the excessive accumulation of creosote. It also keeps the release of smoke from being slowed down.

• The connections must be made of stainless steel 316

with a minimum thickness of 10/10, or in aluminised steel, minimum thickness 20/10. It is prohibited to use stainless steel or aluminium hoses as they compromise the safety of the connection and are subject to tears and gaps, causing leakage of smoke.

• The components making up the connecting pipe must be

perfectly sealed.

• The joint to the flue pipe must not be too long (to avoid

obstructions), nor too short (to avoid smoke leakage).

If metal connecting pipes are used, they must be insulated with suitable material such as ceramic fibre matting, to avoid deterioration of the masonry and of the decorative hood liner.

IMPORTANT! Any increase in the section of the connecting pipe

must start immediately above the hood of the fireplace and not along the flue pipe section.

2.5. FLUE PIPE

The flue pipe is a fundamental element in discharging smoke and

therefore must have the following requisites:

• It must be waterproof and thermally insulated.

• It must be made with heat resistant materials, resistant to

combustion products and any condensation.

• It must have a vertical slope with axis deviations not over 45°

and without narrowing.

• It must meet the requisites indicated in the technical table for

the internal chimney section and height.

• It must preferably have a circular interior section.

• If pre-existing and previously used, it must be cleaned.

The flue pipe is of primary importance for the correct functioning and safety of your fireplace stove.

INSTALLATION AND USE MANUAL

2.5.1. Examples of flue pipes

AISI 304 stainless steel flue pipe with dual chamber insulated with ceramic wool or equivalent resistant to 400°C.

EXCELLENT

Flue pipe in refractory brick with insulated double wall and external coat of cement mix lightened with honeycomb material such as clay.

GOOD

Square or rectangular section flue pipes must have rounded internal corners with radius not less than 20mm. For the rectangular section, the ratio between internal dimensions must be ≤1.5.

The recommended section for a flue pipe according to its length is listed in the table below:

Height (m) Section (cm²)

Traditional square section clay flue pipe with insulating hollow inserts.

GOOD

Chapter 2

page

Avoid flue pipes with internal rectangular sections whose larger side is double the smaller such as 20x40 or 15x30.

AVERAGE

From 3.5 to 5 m

From 5 to 7 m

Over 7 m

900 (30x30 cm or ∅ 30 cm)

625 (25x25 cm or ∅ 25 cm)

400 (20x20 cm or ∅ 20 cm)

N.B. Too small or too large a section reduces draught and insulation.

For special sections, or section or path variations, functional smoke exhaust inspections must be conducted as per UNI 9615.

The smoke duct should be equipped with a solid material collection chamber at the mouth of the smoke duct to be easily opened with an airtight door.

IMPORTANT !

If in doubt about your flue pipe operations or if its dimensions are different from those recommended, we highly suggest an authorised MCZ technician inspect and measure flue pipe performance (via micro-gauge measurements)

MCZ s.p.a. shall not be held liable for poor operation of the fireplace stove that is due to a flue pipe of improper size or installation that does not comply with provided requirements.

INSTALLATION AND USE MANUAL

2.6. COWL

If underestimated, it is a severe impediment to correct "chimney system" operations.

Flue pipe draught also depends on its cowl.

Therefore, if hand made, its four exhaust sections must correspond to

more than twice the internal section of the flue pipe. Having to exceed the peak of the roof, the cowl will be

exposed to wind, therefore an industrial type is recommended.

An industrial cowl, with prefabricated sections fitting together, allows optimal disposal of the flue gases.

The cowl must meet the following requisites:

• It must have an internal section equal to that of the chimney.

• It must have a useful output section not less that double that

of the internal section of the flue pipe.

• It must be built to prevent rain, snow and any foreign objects

from getting into the flue pipe.

• They must be installed to guarantee adequate smoke

dispersion and out of the reflux area where negative pressure forms.

For paired flue pipes, the cowl for solid combustion and the one for the upper floor must be at least 50cm higher than the other to avoid pressure transfers between paired flues.

The cowl must not have obstacles within 10 m such as walls, roof slopes and trees. Otherwise, raise it at least 1 m over the obstacle and, in the event of other nearby cowls, keep them at least 2 m away. In any case, the cowl must exceed the peak of the roof by at least 1m.

A traditional handmade cowl. The right exhaust section must be at least twice the internal section of the flue pipe, 2.5 times is ideal.
