Transport
The following points are to be followed when transporting the fireplace insert:
Secure the fireplace insert so that it can be transported safely
Fully screw in or remove adjustable feet
Avoid transporting in a horizontal position
Secure firebox doors with safety screws
Remove loose single parts from the firebox
The appliances may not be braced over the protective box for the pane.
Otherwise, they will buckle together.
Installation
Delivery
Check the supplied fireplace insert upon receipt for completeness,
for transit damage, and for dimensional accuracy.
Remove all fixing screws of the counterbalances and other transport
supports.
Check that the doors are working before assembly.
Report any damage to the responsible customer service department
prior to assembly.
Read this manual through carefully prior to assembly.
Alignment
The fireplace insert must be aligned exactly at the installation location with the help of a spirit level.
Before the casing is fitted, a functional check must be made of the doors. Door mechanism components
can cause noise if the fireplaces are not aligned exactly.

Remove perforation!
To connect the combustion air feed, the corresponding perforation must be
removed.
Combustion air
Supply
Rüegg fireplaces are designed in such a way that the appliance can be supplied with non-ambient
combustion air for the closed operation. The combustion air is fed from outside the installation room
directly into the appliance and then internally to the fire.
Perforation for connecting supports Ø15 cm
Pipelines
For supply lines, round cross-sections with smooth inner surfaces are preferable.
Mineral supply lines (e.g. brickwork) must have wear-resistant internal surfaces.
Supply lines must be a minimum 3 cm thick across the entire length, non-flammable and thermally
insulated.
A fine-mesh, removable facade sieve must always be installed in the facade as a supply line
connection. The flow resistances declared by the manufacturer must be taken into account.
The cross-section of 175 cm2 (15 cm diameter) may not be reduced!
If lower cross-sections are installed because of the calculations, the installer will act at their own risk.
The perfect function of the system is not guaranteed.
External-air lines with a cross-section of 175 cm2(15 cm) may not exceed the following maximum
lengths:
with semi-rigid aluminium pipes (“Aluflex”): Lmax = 6 m
with smooth-walled pipes (“Aluflex”): Lmax = 8 m

Air valve
To avoid any ingress of cold air, cold bridges and the formation of condensation, we recommend that
you install a tightly sealed air valve close to the facade.
Flue gas system
General
The flue gas system must be designed and approved for use for fireplaces that use wood as a fuel. The
flue gas system must meet national and local regulations and it must satisfy at least the following
requirements:
Temperature class T400 (nominal operating temperature ≥ 400 °C)
Soot fire resistance category: G(system with soot fire resistance)
Corrosion resistance class: 2(natural wood)
Length
The draught calculated on the flue gas system must be between 10-12 Pa.
Flue gas systems without a flue gas fan with lengths L ≤ 4 m are not permitted.
The draught conditions must be checked by taking appropriate measurements before lining the
system.
To achieve stable draught ratios, a flue gas fan can be installed inside the flue gas system.
Static support!
The flue gas system must be erected to be self-supporting. It may not be
supported by the fireplace insert.
►Observe the details provided by the manufacturer
►Check the load-bearing capacity of the building shell involved in the
installation

Connecting piece
The following requirements must be met when installing the connecting piece.
Permitted materials:
Steel ≥ 2 mm sheet thickness
Chrome nickel steel ≥ 1 mm sheet thickness
The connecting piece must be fed directly from the fireplace insert to the chimney in a way that aids
the flow.
All connections must withstand long-term thermal resistance and be tight.
Feedthroughs for connecting pieces that feed through flammable environments must be carried out
professionally. The national and local requirements must be met.
Possibilities for regular cleaning must be provided.

Cross-section
If smaller or larger cross-sections are installed because of a draught measurement or calculation, the
installer will be responsible for any action. The perfect running of the system must be guaranteed.
Under certain circumstances the following faults may occur:
→ Formation of condensation as flue gases cool down too greatly
→ Formation of smoke because the draught conditions are too poor
Triple value
Flue gas valve / butterfly valve
A flue gas valve/butterfly valve is installed on the cast dome and forms part of the appliance. The
appliance is tested with this valve in accordance with EN-13240.
Corresponding cut-outs in the “Rüegg valves” are pre-lasered. These can be snipped out with a pair of
pliers. All connecting pieces must have long-term thermal resistance and be tight.

Flue gas temperature
The flue gas temperature is the maximum measured temperature on the
bracket during the test at nominal thermal performance. This can change if
the firing behaviour changes.
Check function!
Before installing the casing, check that the flue gas valve is working
properly.
►Open and close several times
Muffled explosions!
Dangerous muffled explosions can occur when using sealed flue gas
valves.
►Install non-tightly closing flue gas valves that have a mandatory
opening of at least 20 cm2of connecting area or at least 3% of the
smoke outlet cross-section.

Fire resistance radiation systems
Radiation systems are a construction model without a hot-air grille. The heat is emitted via the active
casing surface in the form of radiation. As the temperature in the cavity is higher in radiation systems
than in hot-air systems, particular requirements apply to the fire-protection requirements.
The installation method as a radiation system does not form part of the EN inspection. Certain countries
have their own requirements for how such systems have to be integrated.
Firebox casing
Thermobrikk installation
The firebox linings with Thermobrikk® consist of several wall and floor components. The following
images apply to all shapes and sizes of Rüegg fireplaces fitted with Thermobrikk®.
Install the firebox lining in the specified order and dismantle the individual components in the reverse
order.
Set up the wall elements in the firebox. Push behind the sheet metal
tab in the area of the firebox opening.
Always place the cut-to-size wall elements forwards in the area of the
firebox opening!
Place wall elements on the back walls. Push wall elements together
without any gap.
