INSTALLATION AND USE MANUAL

2. INSTALLATION CONCEPTS ACCORDING TO UNI 10683

2.1. OPERATING AREA

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

The room volume must not be less than 60 m

Air must enter through permanent openings on the walls (near the product) that open outdoors with a minimum section of 150 cm

These openings (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 are not bedrooms or bathrooms or rooms where fire hazards exist such as garages, wood sheds or flammable material warehouses, strictly observing that stated in current regulations.

/h must be available) according to installation standards and

• The product may not be installed in bedrooms,

bathrooms and where another heating appliance is installed without autonomous air flow (chimney, stove, etc.).

• Placing the appliance in explosive environments

is prohibited.

• The floor of the room where the product 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 product at

least 5 cm. from the walls.

Chapter 2

page

2.2. PRECAUTIONS

The product must be installed in a suitable location that permits routine opening and maintenance operations.

The room must be:

• set for room operating conditions

• equipped with an adequate smoke exhaust system

• equipped with outdoor ventilation

INSTALLATION AND USE MANUAL

IMPORTANT!

• The installation and assembly must be carried

out by qualified personnel.

• The product must be connected to a chimney flue

or other vertical conduit that can discharge smoke at the highest point of the house in compliance with current standards.

• Smoke is generated from burning wood and,

therefore, may dirty adjacent or nearby walls.

• Before installing the product, drill a hole for the

external air outlet.

2.3. EXTERNAL AIR OUTLET

The room where the product is installed must have at least as much air flow as required by the normal combustion of the appliance and normal room ventilation. This may occur through permanent openings in the room walls that lead directly outdoors or to ventilated rooms according to UNI 10683 REV.

For this purpose, drill a hole on an exterior wall with a minimum free section of 150 cm² (a 15 cm diameter hole or a 10x15cm rectangle), protected by an indoor and outdoor grille.

The air intake must also:

• directly communicate with the installation room;

• be protected by a grille, 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;

• in the event of conduits, up to 3.5 ml, increase the section by

about 5%, while for larger sizes increase it by 15%.

Remember that the ventilation grilles always have a cm useful section on one side. When selecting the grille and hole dimensions, make sure the useful grille section is greater than or equal to the section required by MCZ for product operation.

Chapter 2

page

Connecting the air intake directly to the product is not mandatory but the aforesaid section must guarantee about 50 m³/h of air. See standard UNI10683 REV.

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

to the installation room as long as this flow occurs freely through permanent openings that communicate directly with the outdoors; avoid air intakes 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 great care and attention, because it will be very difficult to correct any construction anomalies or errors without damaging the hood. The connection is also made in a part of the fireplace where temperatures are very high, and thus it is important to use heat-resistant materials that are also resistant to the acidity of the fumes produced by combustion.

Before beginning work it is necessary to pay attention to the following points:

• 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 heating system and/or the excessive accumulation of creosote. It also avoids slowing down the evacuation of fumes.

• The connections must be metallic in aluminium-clad

steel with minimum thickness 20/10 or in stainless steel 316 with minimum thickness 10/10. The use of flexible pipes in stainless steel or aluminium is prohibited because it compromises the safety of the connection itself. Flexible pipes are liable to split or crack, 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, it is essential that they be insulated with suitable material such as ceramic fibre matting in order to avoid deterioration of the walls and the decorative hood.

IMPORTANT! Any increase in the section of the connecting pipe

must be made immediately above the hood of the insert and not part-way along the flue pipe.

2.5. CHIMNEY FLUE

The chimney flue 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 suitable heat-resistant materials that are

also 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-existent and previously operative, it must be clean.

INSTALLATION AND USE MANUAL

Chapter 2

page

The chimney flue is of primary importance for the correct operation and safety of your insert.

INSTALLATION AND USE MANUAL

2.5.1. Examples of chimney flues

Chapter 2

page

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

EXCELLENT

Refractory chimney flue with dual insulated chamber and external concrete sleeve and lightweight clay type honeycomb material.

GOOD

Traditional square section clay chimney flue with insulating hollow inserts.

AVERAGE

Square or rectangular section chimney flues 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 chimney flue according to its length is listed in the table below:

Height (m) Section (cm²)

3 mt or more

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 travel variations, functional smoke exhaust inspections must be conducted as per UNI 9615.

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

IMPORTANT! If you have any doubts about your chimney flue

performance or if its dimensions are different from those recommended, we highly advise you have an authorised MCZ technician inspect and measure chimney flue performance (micromanometer measurements).

MCZ s.p.a. is not liable for poor product operation if attributable to the use of a poorly dimensioned chimney flue or installation of the same which fails to meet the listed requirements.

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

POOR

INSTALLATION AND USE MANUAL

2.6. CHIMNEY POT

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

Chimney flue draught is also a function of its chimney pot.

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

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

exposed to wind from all directions, thus an industrial type is recommended.

Industrial chimney pot with overlapping prefabricated elements.

Permits excellent smoke exhaust.

Traditional hand made chimney pot.

The right exhaust section must be at least twice the internal section of the chimney flue,

2.5 times is ideal.

Chapter 2

page

Steel chimney pot for chimney flue with internal smoke deflector cone.

Permits excellent smoke exhaust.

Chimney pots must meet the following requirements:

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

• It must have a useful outlet section not less than twice that of

the internal section of the chimney flue.

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

from getting into the chimney flue.

• It must be installed so as to guarantee suitable smoke

dispersion and, in any case, out of the reflux area where counter-pressure formation is probable.

For paired chimney flues, the chimney pot for solid combustion or the one for the upper floor must be at least 50cm higher than the other to avoid pressure transfers between paired flues.

The chimney pot must not have obstacles within 10 mt such as walls, roof pitches or trees. Otherwise, raise it at least 1 mt above the obstacle and, in the event of other nearby chimney pots, keep them at least 2 mt apart. In any case the chimney pot must exceed the peak of the roof by at least 1mt.

INSTALLATION AND USE MANUAL

4. Installation and assembly

IMPORTANT! The insert must be installed and connected to the

chimney flue by specialised technicians or skilled personnel so that every local or national regulation is met and, in any case, in accordance with the standard UNI 10683 REV.

When the insert is unpacked, make sure all parts are in perfect working order and check for damages due to transport. If the

insert is being installed in a place with difficult access, it is possible to lighten the weight by removing the internal components which make up

the firebox. Remember to correctly reassemble all elements.

Any disassembly and assembly of internal parts must, however, be carried out by skilled and authorised personnel.

MCZ will not be held liable for any breakage in the event the aforesaid warning is not observed.

Chapter 4

page

4.1. PREPARATION AND UNPACKING

Open the packaging, take off the bands, remove the insert from the pallet and position it in the chosen location, taking care that its position fully complies with the instructions.

The insert must always be kept in a vertical position during handling, using the appropriate handles located on the sides. Be careful that the door and its glass are protected from impacts that could jeopardise their integrity. In any case, the product must always be handled with care. If possible, unpack the insert in the area where it is to be installed.

The materials which make up the packaging are not toxic or harmful, so no special disposal procedures are required.

The end user must store, dispose of or recycle packaging material in accordance with current regulations.

4.2. MAKING THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Before positioning the insert, a 230V - 50 Hz electrical power outlet must be prepared near the insert in order to connect the electrical cable that powers the fans.

The power outlet must be equipped with an earth connection.

The wiring must be carried out by first cutting off the electricity supply in the home.

When preparing the connection of the electrical cable provided with the insert, be very careful not to crush the cable while inserting the product. This could cause short circuits that can damage the entire electrical system.

Packaging example

INSTALLATION AND USE MANUAL

4.3. GENERAL ASSEMBLY RULES

The insert can either be inserted on existing fireboxes or inserted as an autonomous firebox thanks to its self-supporting structure.

If the insert is positioned in an existing firebox, check that the dimensions of the firebox are compatible for insertion.

If the insert is positioned over a floor or close to walls made of flammable materials, these surfaces should be suitably insulated in a safe manner.

The Superclima model has special requirements for positioning and assembly. The installer should refer to section 4.5

4.4. ASSEMBLY OF THE INSERTS (all models)

To facilitate insertion of the insert, especially on an irregular existing

firebox surface, the optional INSERTION GUIDE FRAME can be used, while the flue gas connection can be made using the optional

TELESCOPIC CONNECTION

the SmartBox model.

For this operation just fix the frame (A) to the firebox surface using the plugs (D) provided and, if necessary, use shims to level the frame.

Together with the insertion guide it is recommended to also use the

telescopic connection (B) that can be screwed onto the insertion guide using the anchorings (C) and allows to make the connection to the

chimney flue before inserting the product

The "Insertion guide" and "Telescopic connection" accessories are not available for the Smartbox model.

These accessories are not available for

(see section 4.5.2)

page

Insertion guide positioning and telescopic connection

4.5. CONNECTION TO THE CHIMNEY FLUE (all models)

We recommend connecting the insert to the chimney flue using pipes and bends in aluminium-clad steel, capable of withstanding the high temperatures reached in that section of pipe and resisting corrosion from the fumes. These connecting pipes are available on request in various sizes (see MCZ accessories), and they simplify installation since they are assembled by fitting one into another.

Flexible pipes in steel or aluminium cannot be used to connect the insert to the chimney flue as they are prohibited by current regulations.

4.5.1. Direct connection between insert and flue

pipe

Drill and disassemble the existing clay hood and engage the elements in the chimney flue, being careful not to exceed the 45° inclination and to correctly carry out any infilling necessary in order to prevent soot or ashes of the chimney flue from settling above the insert.

(Figure 3)

Infill of direct flue gas connection

INSTALLATION AND USE MANUAL

4.5.2. Connection using the telescopic connection

To simplify assembly of the insert it is possible to use the telescopic connection, an optional accessory that MCZ makes available to its installers and that allows to easily install the flue gas connection and the SmartBox.

The telescopic connection can be fixed to the top part of the prehood ring and, thanks to this accessory, the smoke outlet of the insert is precisely determined and it is possible to freely create the entire connection to the chimney flue without being obstructed by the volume of the machine.

Once the connection has been completed, seal the section between the

pipe and entrance with refractory mortar or ceramic fibre. This

operation requires great care, and the seal must be airtight since any passage of air may compromise the draught.

Any increase in the section of the connecting pipe must start immediately above the hood of the fireplace and not part-way along the flue pipe section

When the installation is complete, the connecting pipe must be insulated with ceramic fibre or other material capable of withstanding temperatures of at least 600 °C.

When the infilling operations are finished and the product is inserted, just extract the upper deflector from inside the fire mouth of the SmartBox, insert your hand inside the smoke outlet of the insert, turn the handle inside the telescopic connection and pull downwards. The telescopic connection will descend perfectly to the smoke outlet of the SmartBox, thus completing the connection to the chimney flue.

4.6. PARTICULARITIES OF THE SUPERCLIMA MODEL

Unlike the SmartBox and ClimaSystem inserts, the Superclima has a

compartment (M) located under the insert that contains the fan. This

compartment can be used as a support if cladding is built around the self-supporting structure of the insert, or it must be inserted on the fire bed of the firebox if Superclima is used to recover an old fireplace.

4.6.1. Superclima as a self-supporting structure

For those who are building the entire fireplace structure around the Superclima or have an existing fire mouth available which is large enough to allow full-height assembly of the insert, the two front

support brackets (B), provided in the package, can be used to balance

the structure which rests only on the fan compartment box.

For installation, unscrew the two front screws (A), attach the supports (B) as shown in the figure and screw the screws (A) back on.

Otherwise, for those who are unable to use this installation procedure, proceed as described in the following section.

4.6.2. Insertion of Superclima in a firebox

To install Superclima inside a firebox, first of all you must disassemble the motor housing (M) and all the internal components according to diagram 1 and create the compartment to hold this

component, enlarging the existing ash pit of the firebox or creating it by drilling the fire bed.

The motor housing has the dimensions: L 270 x H 170 x D 265 You must also provide space for the connection of the two air ducts

with 100 mm diameter, to be connected to the flanges (P) of the motor housing. Insert the motor housing (M) inside the hole that has been

made in the old fire bed of the firebox. Now, during this phase, make the air duct connections for the fan by

connecting one end of the flexible piping to the flanges (P) and the

other to the air intakes prepared previously (see next page).

Make a hole as well for the passage of the electrical wiring (N-H) that connects the control unit (Q) to the motor and the thermostatic probe. A compartment distant from the hot body of the insert must also

be provided to house the control unit so that it can be accessed for any maintenance

(see the “Ventilation assembly kit” section).

7. To reassemble Superclima, repeat the operations in the reverse

order from 6 to 1.

Connect the air ducts as follows:

One of the two outside the home so that it can draw in fresh clean air and the other inside the room where the insert is being installed. This procedure allows for proper mixing of the air inside the installation room and better cooling of the insert structure.

For those who do not have the possibility to perform this type of connection, it is in any case required to connect both air ducts regardless of whether they are both connected to the exterior or the interior. Depending on the choice of connection, the operating temperature will be slightly higher or lower than average, but this does not compromise correct operation.

When the installation of the fan compartment box and air ducts is finished, proceed to the next phases for connection of the chimney flue and the ventilation kit.

All the ventilation components can be assembled from inside the fire mouth of the insert except the motor housing which, however, we have already installed beforehand.

CLIMASYSTEM and SMARTBOX

If it is desired to use additional fan-assisted air outlets, we can attach

one or two HOT AIR OUTLET KITs (optional)

assemble the hot air ducts, it is necessary to break through the semi-

sheared plugs (A), screw on the flanges (B) and insert the flexible pipes (D) fastening them with the appropriate pipe clamps (E). At the opposite end of the flexible piping, attach the adjustable air outlets (C)

which will later be fixed to the decorative hood.

It is advisable to:

• Position the hot air outlets at a height of at least 2 mt. above

the floor so that the hot air does not flow directly onto people.

• Insulate the air duct pipes.

• Do not exceed 1.5 mt of ducting for each outlet.

• It is advisable to insulate the ducting pipes to avoid the

vibrations transmitted by the fans and forced air and to keep the outcoming air warmer.

The front hot air outlet cannot be excluded even though in the SmartBox model, by manually turning the fins located above the fire door, it is possible to direct more hot air through the top outlet pipes and the hood outlets.

4.8. HOT AIR OUTLET KIT ASSEMBLY SUPERCLIMA

If it is desired to use additional fan-assisted air outlets, we can attach

one or two HOT AIR OUTLET KITs (optional).

To assemble the hot air ducts, it is necessary to break through the

semi-sheared plugs (A), screw on the flanges (B) and insert the flexible pipes (D) fastening them with the appropriate pipe clamps (E).

At the opposite end of the flexible piping, attach the adjustable air

outlets (C) which will later be fixed to the decorative hood.

It is advisable to:

• Position the hot air outlets at a height of at least 2 mt. above

the floor so that the hot air does not flow directly onto people.

• Insulate the air duct pipes.

• Do not exceed 1.5 mt of ducting for each outlet.

The Superclima model also provides the possibility to install appropriate

buffers (F), which deflect the air flow to convey it inside the duct

piping. We recommend those using the air ducts to assemble these flow deflectors for improved air flow to the outlets.

To install the buffers, they must be inserted in the appropriate

openings (G) after removing the semi-sheared plugs, and then blocked

with the appropriate screws provided. Installation of the buffers allows to divide the air flow, sending about

70% towards the air ducts and 30% towards the front hot air outlet grille.

The front hot air outlet cannot be completely obstructed since it is necessary to cool the front part of the structure.

It is also advisable to insulate the ducting pipes to avoid the vibrations transmitted by the fans and forced air.

4.10. PERFORATED COMPENSATION FRAME KIT

ASSEMBLY

Chapter 4

page

If there is a space of more than 1 cm between the insert and the existing firebox, the appropriate compensation frame kit can be installed which uses a frame in perforated aluminium-clad steel to fill the cavity between the insert and the firebox.

The MCZ compensation frame has a standard width of 10 cm, while

the length is determined by the perimeter of the product being installed.

Before inserting the unit, it is necessary to measure the exact dimensions of the frames, cut them if necessary with sheet metal scissors if they are too large and fix them with the appropriate selftapping screws in the holes already arranged on the outer sides and roof of the Superclima insert.

Only after the compensation kit has been sized and assembled can the insert be definitively inserted inside the firebox.

4.11. COMPENSATION FRAME ASSEMBLY

The SmartBox and SuperClima models (not available for the ClimaSystem) also provide the possibility to assemble an exterior finishing frame that covers all four sides of the product.

This (optional) frame is assembled only after the installation and cladding are complete, and it anchors directly to the insert structure.

This frame is designed to finish and cover the crack that is formed between the metal structure of the unit and the wall.

To assemble the frame, just open the fire door, fit the frame as shown in the figure and use the four screws provided to fix it onto the stiles of the structure, inside the profile of the door.

4.13. SUMMARY DIAGRAM FOR IDEAL CONNECTION

OF THE INSERTS

The installation described below is ideal for inserts assembled on old or new fireplaces; the insert must never be walled up but kept 5mm detached from any masonry surface since it needs to be able to expand when it is hot; furthermore, if it is walled up there is a significant drop (30÷40%) in the thermal efficiency because the heat is not allowed out completely but only in part.

Insulate the structure thorou parts in wood or flammable material nearby.

5. OPERATION

5.1. PRE-LIGHTING WARNINGS

Make sure you have read and completely understood the contents of this instruction booklet.

Remove all accessories and supplies which might burn (various instructions and adhesive labels) from the firebox and door.

Remove the stickers from the ceramic glass or the high temperature could melt them and irreparably damage the glass. In this case, the MCZ warranty does not cover the glass.

Avoid touching the product the first time it is used since its paint completes drying and hardens during the first lighting.

If you touch the paint, you may expose the steel surface.

It is good practice to provide plenty of ventilation in the room during the initial lighting, as the product will give off a small amount of smoke and smell of paint.

If necessary, touch up the paint with aerosol spray in the original colour. (see the section "Accessories for fireplace

stoves and inserts").

Do not remain near the product and, as previously mentioned, ventilate the room. The smoke and the smell of paint will vanish after about one hour of operation. There are no health risks involved.

The structure will be subject to expansion and contraction during the lighting and cooling down stages, and may therefore make slight creaking noises.

This phenomenon is absolutely normal, the structure being made of sheet steel, and must not be considered a fault.

Chapter 5

page

It is extremely important to be sure not to take the product to full heat straight away, but to bring it gradually up to temperature.

This avoids damages to seals and the steel structure.

Do not demand full heating performance straight away!

5.2. FUEL

FUEL: Wood

To obtain the maximum performance from your product, it is of primary

importance to use wood with suitable characteristics. It is possible to use firewood such as oak, beech, ash, robinia or

ilex, or manmade logs from compressed wood without added resins. These have a high calorific value and must be used with caution to avoid overheating which could damage the product.

INSTALLATION AND USE MANUAL

Fuels such as poplar, pine, lime and chestnut have a low calorific value, being soft woods, soft in the sense of being pulpy, and they do not burn long. For all listed types, the humidity contained in them is a fundamental factor.

A high percentage of moisture produces condensation in the smoke duct causing an alteration in the draught and generating smoke and a significant deposit of soot in the firebox, on the glass of the door and in the flue pipe with a possible risk of a chimney fire later on. It also causes a

considerable overall drop in efficiency.

The use of damp or treated wood emits a higher quantity of

smoke than normal that can dirty glass faster. Also the low performance of the chimney flue can jeopardise glass cleanliness since smoke remains in the combustion chamber longer than normal.

Do not use treated fuels (such as painted or varnished wood) or unsuitable materials (such as plastics and derivatives), which could release toxic or polluting substances. Do not burn rubbish.

The gases produced by combustion based on the use of unsuitable fuels cause damage to the product and the chimney flue; they cause pollution and can significantly compromise your health.

5.3. USE OF THE INSERT

5.3.1. LOADING THE FUEL

To load fuel, simply open the door by rotating/lifting the handle and pulling the door open.

During use, the metal parts and the glass reach high temperatures, so it is necessary to use the special thermal glove supplied.

During combustion, the combustion chamber door must remain closed.

Loading quantities of fuel over those indicated in the technical sheets for each single product is prohibited.

Excessive quantities of fuel in the combustion chamber could damage and deform the firebox and structure.

MCZ is not liable for any damages caused by overloaded fuel or the use of fuel that does not meet specifications.

5.3.2. COMBUSTION CONTROL

PRIMARY AIR

The insert is equipped with primary air emission from the part underneath that guarantees proper combustion. Moving the lever towards the base of the arrow provides total opening with a more rapid combustion, while moving the lever towards the point of the arrow provides partial closure with slower combustion.

INSTALLATION AND USE MANUAL

SECONDARY AIR

The top part of the product provides emission of so-called secondary air that produces post-combustion, increasing efficiency while reducing polluting elements and helping to keep the glass clean. The same lever used to adjust the primary air is used to proportionally dose the secondary air in a calibrated manner, allowing the final user to enjoy excellent combustion regulation.

5.3.3. FIRST LIGHTING

It is advisable to approach the first lighting with caution, using good-quality, well-seasoned wood.

The combustion air entrance must be fully open.

Once combustion has started, normal-sized pieces of wood may be added.

The flame must have as far as possible a smooth and laminar flow.

When reloading, the fire door should be opened slowly to avoid blowbacks of smoke into the room.

Proceed as follows:

• Place a small amount of balled paper in the firebox.

• Cover the paper with a small quantity of twigs and a few

pieces of wood.

• Fully open the combustion air regulator.

• Light the paper and, if necessary, keep the door open for

several minutes until the combustion chamber and chimney flue are heated.

• When the twigs are burning, the door can be closed.

As the fire burns, add wood. Never overload the product with wood (see technical specifications in the table).

As soon as the flames have died down and a bed of embers has

formed, load the insert normally.

Small loads of wood are preferable to large ones for combustion.

We recommend that this fuel loading method be used even during subsequent product use.

To obtain nominal power, place the load of wood indicated in the technical specifications table in the combustion chamber (

hour. When the fire dies down, load the firebox again.

Caution !

• Do not use volatile or flammable substances

(petrol, alcohol, etc.) for lighting the fire.

• Do not use fuels which could release toxic

substances or pollutants.

• Do not put the fire out by throwing water on it.

• Check the external-internal air intakes and the

chimney flue at least once a year, arranging for them to be cleaned.

• During use, the metal parts and the glass reach

INSTALLATION AND USE MANUAL

high temperatures. For all loading, adjustment or ash cleaning operations, use the insulated glove provided.

• Never leave children unattended near the insert

when it is in use.

• The risk of burns from contact with hot surfaces

is very high.

• In the event of poor weather conditions for

insert use (low pressure, moderate temperatures, wind) back draught may occur in the chimney flue. If this occurs, use a small quantity of paper to heat the chimney flue and restore normal draught. Afterwards, proceed with normal product lighting.

5.4. FORCED VENTILATION OPERATION for the

SMARTBOX MODELS

The insert is equipped with two internal fans for forced propagation of the air inside the cavities of the product. The fans are internally mounted on the lower part of the insert structure.

The flow of hot air created by these fans is very slight in order to keep the temperature of the air coming out of the outlet very high and promote convection heating.

Using the control button located on the lower front panel is possible to select the desired operation mode:

• Button on I = MANUAL operation

• Button on II = AUTOMATIC operation.

IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO SWITCH THE VENTILATION OFF IF THE INSERT IS ON; this is to prevent high temperatures from damaging the structure.

(figure 10),

Fan control button.

Chapter 5

page

5.4.1. Manual operation

When the switch is positioned on I, the fans are always on, regardless

of whether or not there is a fire inside the mouth of the insert. To switch the ventilation off, when the fire is out

, the switch must be

positioned on II; in fact, in this case the internal probe, if it is not at

temperature (~50°C), will not allow operation of the fans.

5.4.2. Automatic operation

When the switch is positioned on II the fans switch on/off exclusively when the temperature of the probe is higher/lower than 50/60°C.

SmartBox panel setscrews

INSTALLATION AND USE MANUAL

The probe has a high setting because it is designed to operate as a probe for switching off the ventilation rather than a probe for

lighting. In fact, it is more convenient that the fans switch off automatically when you are not near the insert rather than at the beginning when it is still carrying out the initial lighting.

The temperature probe is located behind the On button; it is easily accessible and can be checked by disassembling the front panel (SmartBox) or taking off the fan box (Climasystem) by first removing the screws that secure it.

To check that the probe works properly, position the button

on II, heat the probe with a hair dryer and wait for the fans

to switch off. In this manner you can check that the probe is

intact.

Never perform this check by subjecting the probe directly to open flames (cigarette lighter, matches, etc.) since this could irreparably damage the probe.

If the reaction times of the probe are too long, then you should check why the structure takes a long time to increase its temperature. Normally this phenomenon is caused by unsuitable wood or wood with a low heat yield (see section

“4.10 Choice of fuel”

) or because the performance of the chimney flue does not allow suitable discharge of the fumes and a correct combustion.

Chapter 5

page

Climasystem ventilation box setscrew

5.5. SMARTBOX F80 VN NATURAL VENTILATION

The insert can also operate by natural convection, which means that the flow of hot air can pass through the entire structure even without the aid of fans. The Smartbox F80VN maintains as a hot air outlet the two fins located above the fire door

(figure 6)

from which a natural air flow will emerge at high temperatures that will be uniformly dispersed throughout the room.

5.6. FORCED VENTILATION OPERATION for the CLIMASYSTEM MODELS

The only substantial difference between the ventilation of the Climasystem and that of the Smartbox is represented by the fact that the Climasystem model has three fans which are more powerful and that the button has three positions instead of two.

The operating concept, on the other hand, is the same for the two models.

• Position I = MANUAL operation

• Position 0 = OFF

• Button on II = AUTOMATIC operation.

5.7. FORCED VENTILATION OPERATION for the SUPERCLIMA MODELS

5.7.1. FC 715 control unit operation

The device allows the speed of the fan, which is controlled by the radio remote control, to be regulated in one of two modes:

INSTALLATION AND USE MANUAL

MANUAL The fan (5) runs at the set speed regardless of the

probe.

AUTOMATIC The fan (5) runs at the set speed with the consent of

the probe.

5.7.1.1. Radio remote control

The radio remote control has 4 buttons with which it is possible to perform the following operations:

• On/off (blue button)

• Change operation mode from manual to automatic and vice

versa (red button)

• Variation of the 4 speeds of the fan (yellow buttons)

5.7.1.2. Switching on and off

SWITCHING ON: Prolonged pressure on the blue button of the

radio remote control switches on the fan at the

first speed in MANUAL mode. The control unit emits one short beep that identifies the1

speed in manual mode.

SWITCHING OFF: Prolonged pressure on the blue button of the

radio remote control puts the device in STAND-

BY, which is signalled by 1 very long beep,

and stops the fan.

Chapter 5

page

5.7.1.3. Manual mode

In a predefined manner at the switch-on using the ON/OFF button or through a simple click on the red MAN/AUT button, the system goes

into MANUAL mode. This mode can be recognized by the fact that all

the sound signals emitted by the control unit in this state are short beeps and the fan is always on, regardless of the

temperature.

The yellow buttons + and - can be used to increase/decrease the fan

speed from the 1 responds with a number of beeps corresponding to the selected speed:

to the 4th speed and vice versa. The control unit

1st Speed = 1 short BEEP

Speed = 2 short BEEPS

Speed = 3 short BEEPS

Speed = 4 short BEEPS

Regardless of whether the insert is on or off, the ventilation switches on and emits air according to the set speed.

5.7.1.4. Automatic mode

Once the ventilation has been switched on in manual mode, simply pressing the red MAN/AUT button cause the device to go into

AUTOMATIC mode. This mode can be recognized by the fact that all

the sound signals emitted by the control unit in this state are long beeps.

INSTALLATION AND USE MANUAL

The yellow buttons + and - can be used to increase/decrease the fan

speed from the 1 responds with a number of beeps corresponding to the selected speed:

to the 4th speed and vice versa. The control unit

1st Speed = 1 long BEEP

Speed = 2 long BEEPS

Speed = 3 long BEEPS

Speed = 4 long BEEPS

The switching on and off of the ventilation is determined exclusively by the temperature of the thermostatic probe.

AUTOMATIC SWITCH-ON BY THE PROBE:

If the temperature detected by the probe is above 45°C, the fan switches on at the set speed (1

speed) and an internal timer is activated which begins to count down a period of 40 minutes. This 40minute period is called the “

heating phase"

After the 40-minute period has passed, if the temperature of the probe is above 65°C, this means that the internal temperature is rising because the insert is in full operation and consequently the fan must remain on. If instead the 40-minute period has passed and the probe has not reached 65°C, this means that fire operation is low and thus the ventilation should switch off.

If the user changes the speed while the system is between 45°C to 65°C, this is interpreted as the desire to ventilate and thus the system returns to the

heating phase ,

resetting the timer to 40 minutes and

starting the countdown.

AUTOMATIC SWITCH-OFF BY THE PROBE:

If the temperature probe drops below 65°C, the ventilation switches off.

• STAND-BY: The fan is off because the blue ON/OFF button of

the radio remote control has been pressed. This shutdown is signalled by one long beep.

AUT

• SAFETY: In the STAND-BY state, if the temperature exceeds

the value of 150°C, the fan is activated at speed 1 and the system goes into AUTOMATIC mode. The ventilation continues until the temperature drops below 65°C.

• STATUS RECOVERY: The system automatically stores the last

power set by the user in the non-volatile memory , allowing the user to continue at this speed after a power failure.

5.7.1.6. Setting the transmission code of the radio

AND SWITCH

remote control

The radio remote control and the control unit are set with a neutral code that immediately allows control of the ventilation kit operation before completion of the cladding.

It may become necessary, however, to change this code and thus the transmission frequency in the event another fireplace heating system is present nearby (ex.: a neighbour has one) or if other signal interference creates transmission problems.

INSTALLATION AND USE MANUAL

Chapter 5

page

Follow this procedure to personalize the code:

• Disconnect the control unit plug from the power outlet

Switch inside the battery compartment of the radio remote control

• Open the battery compartment of the radio remote control by

operating on the door in the direction of the arrow

(figure 10)

• Raise any one or more of the 10 white keys as shown in the

example in

figure 11

• Close the radio remote control

• Press and hold pressed the red button of the radio remote

control and simultaneously reconnect the plug to the power outlet.

• After a maximum time of 15 seconds, one prolonged beep or a

series of beeps in sequence will confirm the successful connection between the radio remote control and the control unit with the new code.

5.8. EMERGENCY TREATMENT

If for any reason the fire needs to be suddenly and quickly put out or a fire in the chimney flue needs to be put out, proceed as follows:

• If time allows, remove the embers and ashes, using a metal

container.

• Put the fire out rapidly by means of a dry carbon dioxide (CO

extinguisher.

6. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

CAUTION! All cleaning operations of all parts should be

conducted when the product is off and completely cold.

6.1. CLEANING TO BE PERFORMED BY THE USER

6.1.1. Cleaning the glass

Specific products can be used to clean the glass (see our pricelist), a cloth dampened with water and ammonia or a bit of white ash and a

newspaper. Any soot and dirt accumulations take longer to clean.

CAUTION! Do not spray the product on the painted parts or on

the gaskets of the door (ceramic fibre cord)

The ceramic glass installed on MCZ products are resistant to temperatures of up to 750°C and are tested and inspected before and after assembly to check for cracks, bubbles and holes.

The glass, although highly resistant to elevated temperatures, is a fragile element, and thus the door should be handled with care without slamming or forcing it. Glass, since it is not elastic, can break.

This type of glass does not burst or shatter but if it should

break, due to the above, it will only crack.

Chapter 6

6.1.2. Cleaning upper calorite deflectors

These do not require particular care. With prolonged use, however, the effective but porous material of which the deflectors inside the firebox are made can wear out or become damaged. They should be replaced only when their thickness is reduced by half or they break.

6.1.3. Cleaning out the ashes

This operation should be performed with the insert off. Adequate ash drawer cleaning is also recommended for correct combustion.

Ashes which are still hot must not be dumped outside in an uncontrolled manner or put in the dustbin. Leave them to cool down in the open air in a metal container.

6.1.4. Cleaning of stainless steel and satin-finish surfaces

Normally these surfaces do not need to be treated, but if they do, avoid cleaning them with abrasive materials. For surfaces in stainless and satin brushed steel, we recommend cleaning with a paper towel or a clean dry cloth moistened with a detergent based on non-ionic surfactants ( < 5%). A spray glass cleaner may be used.

6.1.5. Cleaning of painted parts

Do not clean the painted parts with wet rags when the unit is in operation or hot in order to prevent thermal shock to the paint which

INSTALLATION AND USE MANUAL

may cause it to detach. Do not use abrasive or aggressive products or materials.

Clean with damp cotton or paper towels.

The silicone paints used to paint MCZ products have first-rate technical properties that make them resistant to very high temperatures.

There is, however, a physical limit (380°-400°) beyond which the paint begins to loose its characteristics and fade or (over 450°) vitrify; it may then flake and detach from the steel surface. If these effects are noticed, it means temperatures have been reached that are well above those at which the product should properly operate. Therefore, you should use

the amount of fuel specified in the technical tables.

6.1.6. Cleaning and characteristics of marble and potstone cladding.

Potstone and marble are natural materials taken from blocks of stone and then worked. Therefore, veins, colour variations or other characteristics are natural parts of the stone and should not be considered defects.

It is important to clean the cladding carefully and with the correct products. Cleaning incorrectly may stain or damage the finish of the stone or marble.

Cleaning these materials is a very important and delicate process. It must be done using specific products for treating stone/marble.

Carefully follow the instructions on the packages of the special products

used for cleaning. Generally, you should always use water-based

materials and a soft cotton cloth.

Chapter 6

6.1.7. Cleaning the chimney flue

Mechanical cleaning of the chimney flue is recommended at least once a year. Excessive deposits of unburned solid material can cause problems with the evacuation of smoke, and produces the risk of chimney fires.

6.2. CLEANING BY SPECIALISED PERSONNEL

CAUTION: The frequency with which the product is cleaned

should be determined based on the type of use that is made of the product and the type of installation.

MCZ suggests relying on an authorised service centre for end-of-season cleaning and maintenance, which will carry out all of the previously mentioned work and make a general check of the appliance's components.
