7 INSTALLATION I.C.MAXI and I.C. MINI
The Comfort insert is supplied with a sliding base in
iron which allows it to be installed in a pre-existing
fireplace.
This sliding base allows you to slide out the insert
easily for maintenance and cleaning at the end of
the year.
If you do not already have an existing fireplace you
can build one using the insert support pedestal as
its function is to fix the insert to the floor.
Description of the components:
• Sliding base
• Rail
• Fume outlet pipe
• Primary air intake pipe
• Power plug
• Frame
Fitting the Comfort Maxi and Mini with sliding base
Take the sliding base and place it in the pre-existing
fireplace.
Using chalk, mark the base fixing holes on the floor
of the fireplace.
Make the holes for 8 mm steel expansion plugs.
Make a 60 mm hole in correspondence with the air
intake.
N.B. The air intake must be made outside the fire-
place, because it must not draw in overheated air.
In case, it is not possible to take air from outside, it
is possible to use air from inside, fitting a steel pipe
Ø 50 mm on the bottom or on the rear of the air
intake box , vacuuming the air outside the chimney.
N.B. The length of the primary air intake pipe
must not exceed 2 metres. There must be sufficient
air circulation in the indoor environment.
Provide a power socket on the rear of the insert, in
order to reach the plug easily once the installation
is made.
Fix the base by means of the fixing screws.
Make the connection to the fume outlet and air
intake, respecting the points described in paragraph
6.
Take the insert, tilt it as in fig. 8 so that the wheels
go into the provided rails, and slide it until the fume
scroll coupling is completely inserted in the fume
conveyor box.
