We strive to reduce toxic emissions right from the design stage and achieve maximum efficiency to

Installation
The fireplace must be installed by a professional fitter.
Fireplace fitting and operation must be in strict compliance with European and national
standards, local regulations and building and fire regulations.
Any changes made to the fireplace or its accessories will render the manufacturer’s
warranty null and void.
Instructions
Ask your fitter to explain intensively how the fireplace works and you should inform about the existing
rules for using a fireplace.
Read these instructions carefully and do not hesitate to ask your dealer if you have any questions.
The explanantions in this manual are valid for all products of the Rüegg Classic-Line. For a more easy
explanation, remarks that are valid for all fireplaces at the same time are summarized and explained on
a certain model that may very well be different from yours. The applied dwrawings may differ from your
installation..
Further information can be found on our website www.ruegg-cheminee.com.
Regulations in most countries require chimneys to be professionally swept twice a year, including once
during the heating period. Should the fireplace not be used for an extended period, check before lighting
that the ventilation and evacuation systems are not blocked or obstructed.

Operating safety rules
●Model A1 = Fireplace with automatically-closing
doors
For safety reasons, systems connected to a single
chimney must be fitted with an automatically-closing
door (model A1). It is forbidden, for example, to use
the fireplace in open-door mode for grilling food. To
add wood to the fire or to clean the ceramic glass, the
door must be kept open against a predefined closing
force. Under no circumstances should the door be
kept open using a wedge or other blocking device.
Any interference with the automatic closing
mechanism will render the warranty null
and void.
This type of connection is not allowed in
France.
●Open hearth operation:
When used as an open hearth the fireplace must
remain guarded at all times.
●The temperature of surfaces such as the
ceramic glass door and the door frame
increases rapidly during operation and you are
advised to wear gloves when handling the
door.
●Children should be warned of all potential dangers.
Keep children away from the fireplace when
it is lit.
●With fireplaces fitted with a double door, it is
forbidden to open both doors at the same time.
●If a chimney fire occurs:
→Close all air intakes immediately
→Call the fire brigade as promptly as possible.
→Have the chimney flue checked by a professional.
