place any mounting parts in the combustion chamber, flue or vent if these
parts are not approved by SPARTHERM. Without express permission, any
modification or change in the fireplace will render the guarantee and oper-
ating permit invalid.
Exhaust hoods, ventilation systems, etc. that are installed in the same room
or ambient air network as fireplaces may adversely affect the functioning
of the fireplace insert (including allowing smoke to escape into a room) and
require suitable measures before they can be operated at the same time as
the fireplace.
If several fireplaces are being operated in a room or an ambient air network,
make sure that the combustion air supply is adequate.
This is a fireplace for temporary fires. The fireplace can only be used for
heating by repeatedly adding wood to it and not removing the combustion
air.
TRANSPORT DAMAGE: Inspect this product upon delivery (visual check). Be
sure to note any damage on the delivery slip. Then inform your fireplace
fitter. Protect the viewing pane of your fireplace insert against dirt and
damage while the facing is being installed.
The TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS for your fireplace insert start on page 15.
1.1. CERTIFIED QUALITY
OUR FIREPLACE INSERTS HAVE BEEN TYPE-TESTED AND LABELLED AS PER
DIN EN 13229. DECLARATION OF PERFORMANCE MAY BE VIEWED AND IS
AVAILABLE FROM WWW.SPARTHERM.COM
1. GENERAL NOTES
These installation instructions comply with the specifications in DIN EN
13229 „Fireplaces for Solid Fuel.“
You must also comply with national and regional specifications, standards,
installation methods, and materials. Our fireplace inserts are for temporary
fires and not for permanent heating. This means that the fire will burn as
long as wood continues to be added to it. Of course our fireplace inserts are
subject to our company quality criteria – from incoming shipment inspection
to shipment release.
Young children, older or infirm adults:
As with all heaters, it makes sense to set up a protective device for this
group of people because the viewing pane and the facing panels of the
fireplace unit can become extremely hot.
Risk of burning!
Never leave this group of people near an active or recently extinguished
fireplace insert without supervision. Inform this group of people that the
fireplace insert is a source of potential danger.
Do not place or lay any combustible objects on the exposed surfaces of
the fireplace unit. Do not place any pieces of clothing on the installation‘s
heating tiles in order to dry them. Set up a laundry rack for drying clothing
outside the area of radiation only!
The burning process releases heat energy that leads to the fireplace unit
(surfaces, door handles and operating knobs, viewing pane, etc.). Do not
touch or operate the active fireplace unit without suitable protection (e.g.
the heat-resistant glove included).
Do not make any modifications to the fireplace insert. In particular, do not

GB 5
A = Fireplace door, manual closure
• Open operation may be possible
• Multiple use of chimney prohibited
We also recommend operating Type A devices with closed viewing panes.
This improves the utilization of the wood energy and increased operational
safety. When the fireplace door is open, air movement or weak/irregular
chimney draft may quickly cause soot or odors to permeate the room. Valid
for the following devices: multiple use of the chimney and open operation is
prohibited for Type A with manually closing fireplace door!
Speedy MR/MRh/M/Mh
Varia Sh
Varia C-45h
A1 = Fireplace door, automatic closure
• Closed operation
• Multiple use of chimney possible
For Type A1, the fireplace door must always be locked in order to prevent
combustion gas leakage (except when loading/unloading).
These fireplace inserts have automatically closing fireplace doors so that
the doors are only opened when the fireplace has to be serviced (removing
ashes, re-supplying with fuel, etc.). For this fireplace insert, multiple use
of the chimney, etc., is possible. Modifying the closing mechanism of Type
A1 is prohibited for safety reasons, and would render the guarantee and
operating permit invalid. The guarantee and operating permit would also
be rendered invalid if the customer modified the technology of any other
area of the fireplace insert. You should discuss the required type with your
customer or with the local building code inspector before ordering it.
1.2. INSTALLATION STEPS
1. The feet are included with the device for transport purposes.
2. Before unscrewing the locking screw for the counterweights (transport
security for liftable fireplace inserts), carefully place the device on its
„back“ so you can attach the feet.
3. As required, use the clamp included to attach the safety valve lugs to the
adapter in the required position at this time.
4. The fireplace has to stand perfectly plumb-vertical and horizontal.
5. A horizontal connection to the chimney is possible by rotating the flue
gas dome. To do this, open the clamp, put the flue gas dome in position
and clamp it in place again.
2. BASIC REQUIREMENTS FOR SETTING
UP AN OPEN FIREPLACE
Before installing the fireplace insert, you have to make sure that the air
controls function perfectly and make them function if they do not. Consult
the local building code inspector responsible as to whether the chimney and
combustion air intake are suitable before beginning installation. Note and
apply DIN 18160 and DIN 18896. Apply the relevant standards in DIN EN
13229 as well. Every open fireplace requires its own chimney. Multiple use
is only permitted when the unit is to be operated closed (Type A1).
Perform the chimney calculation as per DIN 4705 T1, T2 or EN 13384-1
with the value sets specified in these instructions. The convection sheath
in stock is not required for tiled fireplaces. Set up the combustion system
according to the professional tile fireplace and ventilation engineer guide-
lines („TROL-Richtlinien für den Bau von Kachelöfen,“ available from Central
Association for Sanitation, Heating and Air-conditioning (ZVSHK), Rathausal-
lee 5, 53729 St. Augustin, Germany).

3. LOCATIONS AND COMBUSTION AIR
SUPPLY
3.1. BASIC REQUIREMENTS OF LOCATIONS FOR OPEN
FIREPLACES AND PROHIBITED LOCATIONS
Open fireplaces may only be installed in rooms and places in which the
location, construction situation and type of utilization do not lead to hazards.
In particular, when the type is dependant on indoor air, sufficient combustion
air must flow into the locations. The floor space of the location has to be
designed for the proper operation of open fireplaces and has to be large
enough.
3.2. THE OPERATION OF OPEN FIREPLACES IS NOT
HAZARDOUS IF
• the units have safety devices that automatically and reliably prevent a
partial vacuum from forming in the location, or
• the total combustion air volume flow rates and the exhaust system air
volume flow rates required for open fireplaces do not cause a partial
vacuum greater than 0.04 mbar in the open fireplace location and the
rooms of the ambient air network.
3.3. OPEN FIREPLACES MAY NOT BE INSTALLED
• in stairways, unless they are in residential buildings with two apartments
or less
• in hallways with general access
• in garages
• in room in which highly combustible or potentially explosive substances
or mixtures are processed, stored or manufactured in quantities that
would be hazardous in the event of ignition or
• explosion.
Open fireplaces may not be set up in rooms or apartments in which the ven-
tilation system or forced-air heating system is ventilated with fans unless
the open fireplace has been inspected and determined to function safely.
3.4. COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY
Open fireplaces may only be installed in rooms that have at least one door that leads
to the outdoors or a window that can be opened, or are directly next to other rooms
or indirectly part of an ambient air network. For installation in apartments or other
facilities, only rooms in the same apartment or facilities may belong to the ambient
air network.
Open fireplaces may only be set up or installed in the above-named rooms if at least
360 m3combustion air/hour and/m2of combustion chamber opening is able to flow
into them. If other fireplaces are in the rooms where this one is to be installed or in
rooms that are connected to it, according to technical regulations at least 540 m3
combustion air/hour and /m2of combustion chamber opening is able to flow into
all of the open fireplaces and at least 1.6 m3combustion air/hour and /kW total
nominal heat capacity into all other fireplaces for a calculated pressure difference of
0.04 mbar to the outdoors. A flow speeds of 0.15 m/s is a valid guideline value for
dimensioning the air supply ducts. For a fireplace with a door height of 52x60cm,
this equals an air supply channel of 175 cm2, therefore a diameter of approx. 15 cm.
If the combustion air is not allowed to be removed from the room (e.g. for buildings
with ventilation systems), a coupling has to be connected to the combustion air lugs
on the device. This coupling has to lead to a different room. (Make sure that this
room has a sufficient supply of air: talk to the building code inspector responsible
and observe DIN 18896 and the German Combustion Ordinance). If this duct for
the combustion air leads out of the building, it required a cutoff device. The position
of the cutoff device has to be obvious. For this design, the inlet duct should be
insulated to prevent condensate from forming. And the duct should be positioned
so that water and other substances are not able to penetrate it and any condensate
that does form can run off.

GB 7
COMMENT
For guidance on realizing a sufficient supply of combustion air, see the the German
Sample Combustion Ordinance (May 1998 version) and the example of the standard
operating procedure for the German Sample Combustion Ordinance (January 1980
version); the examples were published in the Institute for Construction Technology
Bulletin no. 3/1980, 17th year (also see comments on DIN 18895).
3.5. COMBUSTION AIR FLUE
As per the specification of the German federal state construction ordinance
that corresponds to § 37, para. 2 of the sample construction ordinance,
combustion air flues in buildings with more than two full storeys and com-
bustion air flues that bridge firewalls must be constructed to prevent them
from transferring fire and smoke to other storeys or fire zones.
COMMENT
For information on how to comply with the above-mentioned specifications,
see the fire inspection guidelines for the fire prevention requirements of
ventilation systems (draft) – January 1984 version.
4. CUTOFF DEVICE IN THE VENT
Open fireplaces with SPARTHERM fireplace inserts may have a cutoff device in
the vent. The cutoff device may not hinder the inspection and cleaning of con-
necting pieces and may not close automatically. The position the cutoff device
is in must be obvious from the outside, e.g. from the position of the operating
handle. Cutoff devices may only be installed in the exhaust manifold, the flue
gas neck tube or in the connecting piece. Instead of cutoff devices, fireplace
inserts with combustion chamber doors can have throttle devices.
4.1. THROTTLE DEVICE
Throttle devices may only be installed in the flue gas neck tube or in
the connecting piece. Throttle devices have to be easy to operate. Their
openings have to be like the segment or section of a circle whose total
area is not less than 3 % of the cross section area but has a size of at least
20 cm2. The position the throttle device is in has to be obvious from the
setting of the operating handle.
5. FIRE PREVENTION IN FRONT OF THE
COMBUSTION CHAMBER OPENING
5.1. FLOORS
In front of the firemouths of fireplaces with closed combustion chambers,
floors made of combustible construction materials have to be protected by
a covering of noncombustible construction materials. The covering has to
protrude beyond the firemouth by at least 50 cm at the front and at least
30 cm at the sides.
In front of fireplaces that can be operated open, floors made of combustible
construction material must be protected at the front by a covering of non-
combustible construction material equal to the height of the combustion
chamber base or the firedog above the floor plus 30 cm (but at least 50 cm),
and at the sides equal to the height of the combustion chamber base or the
firedog above the floor plus 20 cm (but at least 30 cm). If a log guard with
a height of at least 10 cm has been installed, fire protection of 50 cm at the
front and 30 cm at the sides is sufficient.
The non-combustible covering can be made of ceramic (e.g. tiles), natural
stone or other mineral construction materials (e.g. marble, granite, etc.),
metal with a thickness of at least 1 mm or suitably treated glass. The covering
must be fastened in a manner that makes it impossible to be pushed away.
If a log guard (not included) with a height of at least 10 cm has been
installed, the minimum distances listed above are sufficient and can be
measured from the log guard.

5.1.1. SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR FIRE
PROTECTION OF FLOOR COVERINGS
NEAR THE FIREPLACE
A spark protection apron is required (e.g. to cover carpets,
parquet…); a fireproof floor covering made of non-flammable
material (natural stone…) must be put in place.

GB 9
5.2. LOAD-BEARING STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS MADE
OF CONCRETE AND REINFORCED CONCRETE
Open fireplaces must be installed to that no load-bearing structural ele-
ments made of concrete or reinforced concrete are located within 30 cm
of the warm air exit points at the sides and lower than a height of 50 cm
above the exit points.
5.3. WOODEN BEAMS
Wooden beams may not be installed within the radiation area of the fireplace
insert. Air has to circulate around wooden beams above an open fireplace
with a minimum distance of 1 cm. You are not allowed to directly anchor
them with thermal bridges.
5.4. INSULATION LAYERS
(see fig. 6 + 7; page 13)
Due to the information of the testing institute and the applicable standards,
all of our statements on insulation material are based on mineral wool as
the reference insulation material, details as follows. Alternative, suitable
insulation material can also be used. But is has to be certified by DIBt or
have received a permit.

5.2.1. SPECIAL MEASURES FOR FIRE
PREVENTION OR ADJACENT,
COMBUSTIBLE STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS
1 Between built-in furniture and the fireplace facing, a distance of at least 5 cm has to be
maintained.
2 For structural element that only abut on small areas (wall, floor or ceiling covering), we
recommend a gap of 1 cm.
3 From the combustion chamber opening, there needs to be at least an 80cm gap toward the
front, the sides, and the ceiling between structural elements made of combustible construc-
tion materials or flammable components as well as between built-in furniture, unless the
assembly and operation manual for the device does not contain any other specifications.
4 When installing a radiation guard that is ventilated on both sides, a distance of 40 cm is
sufficient. The ventilated distance to the radiation guard has to be at least 2 cm.
GB

GB 10
5.4.1. THERMAL INSULATION MATERIAL THICKNESS
For information on the thermal insulation material thickness relevant to your
fireplace insert, see „Technical Data“ on page 15.
Use mats, sheets or shells of silica-based insulation material (stone or slag
wool and ceramic fibers) in construction material class A1 as per DIN 4102,
part 1 with an upper application limit temperature of at least 700 °C when
measured as per DIN 52271 and a rated density of 80 kg/m3to produce
the insulating layers. They need to have a corresponding insulation material
code as per AGI-Q 132.
The insulation material code may not contain the number sequence „99“. If
this insulating layer is not framed by walls, facing or adjacent sheets, use
fasteners at a maximum distance of 33 cm to each other. Other insulation
material, e.g. gas concrete or mineral construction materials, have to pos-
sess a general construction inspection permit from the German Institute of
Construction Technology Berlin (DIBt). It has to be installed according to the
manufacturer‘s instructions.
The other insulation materials all possess different heat transfer coeffi-
cients, so insulation material thickness will vary. The required insulation
material thickness can be determined from the diagram provided by the
insulation material manufacturer.
Some thermal insulation materials can be used as a stud wall and insulation
at the same time. This reduces the installation depth significantly. Thermal
insulation made of stone and slag wool require abrasion-resistant cladding
so the circulation air volume flow does not transport insulation particles into
the room. Other thermal insulation sheets leave the factory with added abra-
sion resistance as required. This insulation material may only be fastened
with offset joints and end to end. If several layers are to be fastened, the
edges have to overlap.
5.4.2. STUD WALL FOR WALLS THAT NEED
PROTECTION
• When installing the open fireplace on a wall that needs protection, a
stud wall is required. The stud wall has to protrude at least 20 cm over
the connecting piece.
• A stud wall is not necessary if the building wall:
- is at least 11.5 cm thick
- consists of non-combustible construction materials
- is not a load-bearing concrete or reinforced concrete wall
• The stud wall can be built in a traditional manner, e.g. made of bricks,
or can consists of thermal insulation sheets as mentioned above. This
significantly reduces the overall construction depth, which consists of
the stud wall and insulation.
5.6. FLEXIBLE GROUTING BETWEEN FACING AND
INSERT
A direct link between the fireplace insert and the facing is not allowed. Plan
to use flexible grouting that will be sealed by sealing band, for example.
Please note: a minimum distance of 6 mm has to exist between the door
frame and the fireplace hood or the installation frame, in order to disassem-
ble the fireplace insert door as required (e.g. replacement viewing pane).
5.7. FIREPLACE HOOD
A fireplace hood may never be directly connected to the fireplace insert.
It must bear itself after being set up. See „Facing“ section for the addi-
tional requirements. Please note: a minimum distance of 6 mm has to exist
between the door frame and the fireplace hood or the installation frame, in
order to disassemble the fireplace insert door as required (e.g. replacement
viewing pane).

GB 11
5.8. CONNECTION PIECE
The neck tube for the connecting piece is on the flue dome of the fireplace
insert. Connect to the chimney directly if possible. The fireplace insert can
be connected either vertically or horizontally. Use an enclosed wall lining
to make the connection to the chimney or follow the instructions of the
chimney manufacturer. Make the connecting piece out of molded firebrick
for house chimneys or sheet iron pipes made of steel plate that is at least
2 mm thick as per DIN 623, DIN 1298, DIN EN 1856 and the corresponding
molded parts.
Flue gas pipes inside the facing of the open fireplace have to be sheathed
with class A1 stone wool mats that are at least 3 cm thick, dimensionally
stable and non-combustible as per DIN 4102 part 1 and contain less than
1.2 % binder. The application limit temperature is at least 750 °C when
tested as per DIN 52271. The thickness has to be 6 cm instead of 3 cm if
the flue gas manifold is made of metal.
This does not apply if the connection piece is intended to be used for con-
vective heating of the ambient air.
COMMENT
Requirements of the connecting piece as per DIN 18160 part 2.
5.9. HEAT DISSIPATION
Since it is possible to use different fireplace unit construction types with
our fireplace inserts, it is essential to consult a professional company when
planning a fireplace unit. Make sure that the level of heat dissipation is
sufficient. Implement this by using convection air ducts in the facing or heat
dissipating facing elements.

FOR HARDWOOD MANTELS
1 The beam has to be located outside of the radiation area.
2 The ventilated distance must be 1 cm or a dimensionally stable insulation sheet with a
thickness of approx. 2cm has to be attached below the beam.
3 The gap between the inner edge of the combustion gas manifold and the mantel has to be
at least 16.5 cm.
GB

GB 12
5.9.1. WARM AIR HEATING SYSTEMS
For fireplace units that use convection to dissipate heat (wood-burning
stove, tile oven, etc.), observe the following points (see instructions, „5.8.
Connection piece“ on page 11)
• Please refer to the Technical Data (page 15 onwards) for the air inlet
and air outlet opening cross-sections. Different cross-sections are pos-
sible if arithmetical proof is provided.
• It must not be possible to close the air inlet and air outlet openings
more than 50%.
• All four pipe connections must be occupied if using the convection air
housing. It must not be possible to close up the air inlet and air outlet
openings.
• The air ducts may not be made of combustible, dimensionally stable
construction material
• Do not place any combustible construction materials or objects such as
wood ceilings or built-in furniture within an area of 30 cm next to and
50 cm above the warm air outlet grids.
5.9.2 CLOSED FIREPLACE UNITS
For fireplace units that are intended to dissipate heat via the outer fireplace
facing (masonry heater, hypocaustic system, systems with closing convec-
tion air openings, etc.), and therefore dissipate heat into the room via the
facing, it is essential to observe the following points:
• The fireplace unit must be dimensioned and built according to the
relevant, professional tile fireplace and ventilation engineer guidelines
(new: TR-OL 2006).
• We recommend using sufficient storage material (e.g. Magnetherm) to
optimally use the heat and avoid the risk of overheating in temperature
spikes.
• The size of the oven, i.e. the size of the heat dissipating surface, should
be determined depending on the heat output and heat requirement.
• The facing elements must be selected to meet the higher standards.
• The builder should provide written instructions on the special type/
means of operation to the operator if possible. The quantity of wood
used has to correspond to the heat dissipation of the surface or the
storage capacity of the storage medium, for example (in general, stoke
no more than 2 – 3/day).
• We recommend protecting installation surfaces made of combustible
construction materials with active rear ventilation in addition to the
thermal insulation specified.
• The insulation thicknesses listed on page 11 apply to warm air heating
systems only. For closed fireplace units, the insulation thicknesses have
to be calculated as per TR-OL.
• For liftable combustion chamber doors, the temperature on the reverse
or guiding rollers and the bearings must not exceed 270 °C. And areas
of the insert that have movable mechanical parts require separate
insulation.
• When installing accessory parts, observe their installation specifica-
tion, especially the permissible operating or ambient temperatures and
accessibility requirements, if any.

The open fireplace has to be designed and installed in a manner that allows
the ambient air ducts to be cleaned easily, the space between the ceiling and
walls and built-in furniture to be easily inspected and kept unobstructed,
and facilitates the cleaning of the connecting pieces and the chimney.
