4 Installation
4.1 Delivery
Upon receipt, immediately check the delivered chim-
ney insert for completeness, transport damage and
dimensional accuracy.
Remove all fixing screws from the counter-weights
and other transport securing devices.
Check the door function before installation.
Report any deficiencies to the responsible Customer
Service before installation.
Read these instructions through carefully before in-
stallation.
4.2 Alignment
The chimney insert must be exactly aligned at the installation site using a spirit
level.
Before the covering is attached, a function check of the door must be carried out.
If the chimney inserts are not exactly aligned, components of the door mechanism
can cause noise.
4.3 Covering
The covering must consist of non-flammable materials.
Between the covering and the chimney insert, glass fabric tape must be mounted
on all sides.
The door must be able to swing out completely when the covering is installed.
The covering must not be heat-insulated if the chimney system is made so that
the free surfaces of the covering and surfaces of the recesses for storing fuel can
heat up to a max. of 85°C. For surfaces made of building materials, e.g. stove
tiles, with the exception of surfaces on which objects can be placed, instead of
the value 85°C, the value 120°C applies.
The valid safety distances must be complied with.
The processing materials must be thermally stable and must not emit a lasting
odor when under a thermal load. Therefore, no materials containing plastic may
be used.

4.4 Bearer frame
Depending on the design of the system, there are two different bearer frames
available for statically supporting the top covering. An expansion joint (e.g. glass
fabric tape) must be applied between the chimney insert and the bearer frame.
"Standard"
The one-piece bearer frame (Art. no.
12.70.00460 or 12.70.02460) is used if the top
covering goes up to the ceiling. The bearer
frame is fixed to the ceiling using a draw bar and
fastening elements suitable for accommodating
the load. Here, the load-bearing capacity of the
ceiling must be taken into account.
Note:
It is imperative that the bearer frame be installed
before installing the flue gas connection pipe!
The cut-out in the rear part of the bearer frame
is smaller than the diameter of the pipe!
"Free-standing"
The multi-part, free-standing bearer frame (Art.
no. 12.70.00465) is used when the covering
does not reach to the room ceiling and is
covered immediately above the chimney insert.
The bearer frame is positioned on the floor
together with the chimney insert and fixed in
place. Here, the load-bearing capacity of the
floor must be taken into account. Detailed
information can be found in the instructions
enclosed with the bearer frame.

5 Combustion air
5.1 Supply
Rüegg chimney inserts are designed such that the combustion air can be sup-
plied to the device for closed operation, separate from the ambient air. Here, the
combustion air is conducted directly into the device from outside of the set-up
room and is fed to the fire internally there.
Cross section 175 cm
2
(connection piece Ø 15 cm)
The combustion air pipe can come from behind, from underneath or from both
sides through the prepared openings to the attachment collar.

supporting construction
!
The bearer frame must be constructed so that it is self-supporting. There
must be no direct connection to the chimney insert, nor may it be supported
on this.
►Check the load-bearing capacity of the floor or ceiling.

5.2 Lines
For supply lines, round cross sections with smooth inner surfaces are preferably
to be used.
Mineral supply lines (e.g. masoned) must have abrasion-proof inner surfaces.
Supply lines must be 3 cm thick over their entire length, be non-flammable and
heat-insulated.
As the supply line terminator, there should always be a fine-mesh, removable
facade screen installed in the facade. The flow resistances declared by the man-
ufacturer are to be taken into account here.
The cross section of 175 cm
2
(Ø 15 cm) must not be reduced.
If smaller cross sections are installed due to calculations, the fitter does so at his
own risk. Perfect system function is not guaranteed.
Outdoor air lines with a cross section of 175 cm
2
(∅15 cm) must not exceed the
following maximum lengths:
with semi-rigid aluminum pipes ("Aluflex"): L
max
= 6 m
with smooth-walled pipes: L
max
= 8 m
5.3 Air flap
To keep cold air from entering, cold bridges and condensate formation, we rec-
ommend the installation of a tight-closing air flap near the facade.

6 Flue gas system
6.1 General
The flue gas system must be designed and approved for the fireplace application
with wood as a fuel. The flue gas system must meet the national and local regula-
tions and they must at least meet the following requirements :
Temperature class: T400 (nominal operating temperature ≥400°C)
Soot-burning resistance class: G(system with soot-burning resistance)
Corrosion resistance class: 2(natural wood)
6.2 Cross section
Recommended cross section: Ø 25 cm or □25x25 cm
If, due to a draft measurement or calculation, smaller or larger cross sections are
installed, the fitter acts at his own risk. The perfect function of the system must
be ensured.
Under certain circumstances, the following malfunctions could occur:
→Condensate formation due to excessive cooling of the flue gases
→Smoke formation due to weak draft conditions
6.3 Length
The determined draft in the flue gas system must lie between 10 - 12 Pa.
Flue gas systems without a flue gas fan with lengths L ≤4 m are not permissible.
The draft conditions must be checked by making suitable measurements before
covering the system.
To achieve stable draft conditions, a flue gas fan can be installed in the flue gas
system.
Static support
!
The flue gas system must be constructed so that it is self-supporting. It must
not be supported on the chimney insert.
►Observe the manufacturer specifications
►Check the load-bearing capacity of the cladding involved in the installa-
tion

6.4 Connection piece
When installing the connection piece, the following requirements must be com-
plied with.
Permissible materials:
Steel sheet thickness ≥2 mm
Chromium-nickel steel sheet thickness ≥1 mm
The connection piece must be directly routed from the chimney insert to the flue
so flow is favorable.
All connection points must have long-term heat resistance and be leak-tight.
Feedthroughs for connection pieces which are routed through flammable sur-
roundings must be properly designed. The national and local regulations must
be complied with.
Options for regular cleaning must be provided.
6.5 Damper flap
There must be a damper flap installed in
the connection piece. The damper flap
must not be tight-closing. It must have a
free cross section.
In "Rüegg flaps", the corresponding cut-
outs are pre-lasered. They can be broken
out with pliers.
The connection points must have long-term
heat resistance and be leak-tight.
Heat insulation
!
In Switzerland, the connection piece must be heat-insulated, except in hot-
air chambers.
►Insulation material: mineral wool in acc. with Table 2
►Insulation thickness ≥3 cm
►Fastening must be solid and have long-term heat resistance ≥700°C
