PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
NILO - DANUBIO - RIO stoves heat the air using wood
pellets as fuel, with electronically controlled combustion.
Hereunder is the explanation of its functions (the letters
refer to figure 1).
The fuel (pellets) is transferred from the storage hopper (A
- see page 45) to the combustion chamber (D) by means
of a feed screw (B), which is driven by a gear motor (C).
The pellets are ignited by the air that is heated by an elec-
trical resistance (E) and drawn into the combustion cham-
ber by a smoke extractor (F). The fumes produced during
the combustion process are extracted from the hearth by
the same centrifugal fan (F) and expelled through the
outlet (G) located on the lower part at the back of the
stove.
The stoves allow for hot air channelling to to convey the
air to heat adjacent rooms. Two male pipes of a Ø 10 cm
for hot air channelling connection are found on the back
part. To channel the hot air in one or two adjoining rooms,
the stove is equipped with two pipes on the back, to which
special aluminium pipes must be connected.
KIT 11 and KIT 11 BIS optional are available to facilitate
air distribution (see page 41-42-43).
Fuel quantity, smoke extraction and combustion air supply
are all controlled by an electronic control board, which is
equipped with Leonardo® software to achieve high com-
bustion efficiency and low emissions.
The synoptic panel (M) is installed on the top, through
which all phases of operation can be displayed and con-
trolled.
The main functions can also be controlled by remote con-
trol.
A serial port is found at the back of the stove (optional
cable: code 621240) to be connected to devices that allow
remote ignition (e.g. remote telephone, local thermostat).
The stoves have an internal structure that is made entirely
of cast iron.

SAFETY INFORMATION
NILO - DANUBIO - RIO stoves are designed to heat the
room where they are placed, by means of radiation and air
movement that is let out from the front grilles, through auto-
matic pellet combustion in the hearth, and adjoining rooms
through air movement analysed by the pipes on the back.
• The only risks that may derive from using the stove pertain
to non-compliance with installation instructions, direct contact
with live electrical parts (internal), contact with the fire or hot
parts (glass, pipes, hot air output), or foreign substances being
put in the stove.
• Only use wood pellets as fuel.
• Should components fail, the stoves are equipped with safety
devices that guarantee automatic shutdown. These are activa-
ted without any intervention required.
• In order to function correctly, the stove must be installed in
accordance with the instructions given herein and the door
must not be opened during operation: combustion is fully
automatic and requires no intervention.
• Under no circumstances should any foreign substances be
entered into the hearth or hopper.
• Do not use flammable products to clean the smoke channel
(the flue section connecting the stove smoke outlet to the
chimney flue).
• Hearth and hopper components must only be cleaned with a
vacuum cleaner.
• The glass can be cleaned when COLD with a suitable pro-
duct (e.g. GlassKamin Edilkamin) and a cloth.
• Do not clean when hot.
• Ensure that the stoves are installed and ignited by a qualified
Edilkamin DEALER, in accordance with the instructions
given herein.
• When the stove is in operation, the exhaust pipes and door
become very hot.
• Do not place anything, which is not heat resistant near the
stove.
• NEVER use liquid fuel to ignite the stove or rekindle the embers.
• Do not obstruct the ventilation apertures in the room where
the stove is installed, nor the air inlets of the stove itself.
• Do not wet the stove and do not go near electrical parts
with wet hands.
• Do not use reducers on the smoke exhaust pipes.
• The stove must be installed in a room that is suitable for
fire prevention and equipped with all that is required (power
and air supply and outlets) for the stove to function correctly
and safely.
• Should ignition fail, DO NOT re-ignite until you have
emptied the combustion chamber.
• ATTENTION: THE PELLET EMPTIED FROM
THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER MUST NOT BE
DEPOSITED INSIDE THE HOPPER.
