GB 4
The fireplace insert must never be modified! In particular, never insert any
installation components into the combustion chamber, combustion passages
or flue gas flue that have not expressly approved by SPARTHERM. Your
fireplace warranty will be rendered invalid by any fireplace modification
carried out using components not approved by Arcadia.
You may find that extractor hoods, ventilation equipment, etc., installed in
the same room (or linked space) as your fireplace or stove, have a negative
effect on the fireplace insert (such as the release of smoke into the room).
These devices should not be used at the same time as your fireplace or
stove, without first ensuring that the necessary room heating system pre-
cautions have been taken.
When using more than one fireplace in a single room or linked space ,
ensure that sufficient air is available for complete combustion!
This is a temporary fire area thus, longer continuous burning is not achieved
by piling up the fire repeatedly. Continuous burning without piling up the fire
in-between cannot be achieved even through withdrawal of the combustion
air and is not permitted.
Transport damage: immediately on arrival, please check the goods delivered
(visual inspection). Make a note of any damage on your delivery document.
Inform your stove or fireplace fitter of the damage before the installation
work begins. When installing the casing of your fireplace insert, take care to
protect the viewing glass from damage or soiling.
The technical data of your fireplace insert can be found from Seite 4.
1. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
These installation instructions comply with the provisions outlined in DIN EN
13229 "Solid-fuel fireplaces".
All national and regional regulations, standards and norms, methods of
installation and material specifications must be observed. Naturally, all our
fireplace inserts are subject to our own quality criteria, from incoming goods
inspection to the approval before shipping.
Small children, elderly or infirm persons:
As is the case with all heating devices, it is expedient that you attach a
protective fixture for these groups of persons, as the view pane and the
cladding parts of the fireplace can become extremely hot!
Danger of burn injuries!
Never leave these groups of persons unattended near the fireplace insert
when a fire is burning or has just been extinguished! Please ensure that
persons belonging to these groups are made aware of the dangers.
No combustible objects, materials or substances should be placed on or
near the free surfaces of the fireplace system. Do not attempt to dry out
clothing on the hot tiles of the fireplace system. When drying clothes, use
a proper drying stand or clothes' horse and ensure it is placed outside the
area of direct radiant heat!
The surfaces of your fireplace system such as the operating handles, doors,
viewing glass, etc. are quickly made hot by heat energy released during the
combustion process. Do not attempt to touch these components without
adequate protection (i.e. heat-resistant gloves).

GB 5
1.1 LOCKING FUNCTION OF THE COMBUSTION
CHAMBER DOOR
The suitability of the fireplace insert for multiple allocation (two or more
fireplace inserts on the same chimney) depends on if the door has a
self-locking function:
Self-locking door function: fireplace insert is suitable for multiple allocation
No self-locking door function: multiple allocation is not permitted, thus, the
fireplace insert must be connected to its own chimney line.
Note: with a multiple allocation of the chimney, this must be built and
designed accordingly.
In doing so, the question must be asked if the fireplace insert is an "open
fireplace" or not. In Germany, an "open fireplace" is not subject to the emis-
sion requirements of the BImSchV level 1 (Ordinance in the Implementation
of the Federal Emission Control Act), but may be operated "occasionally".
The manufacturer specifies the mode of operation of the fireplace insert
and determines if the device can be used correctly when open and thus
must be termed as "open chimney": open burning permitted according to
the manufacturer: open fireplace only with occasional operation of open
burning according to the manufacturer is not permitted: closed chimney,
not limitations in use
Note: the former terms from "Design A1" or "Design A" that are derived from
the standard DIN 18895 that is no longer valid frequently resulted in the
mixture of the features specified above and are no longer valid.
Generally, Spartherm fireplace inserts are operated correctly when they are
closed thus, with the exception of feeding or cleaning, the fireplace insert
doors must be shut.
Fireplace inserts for burning with combustion chamber door open
tested by ourselves are marked in the installation instructions for
the fireplace insert enclosed separately in the technical data.
When operating on a chimney with single allocation (one fire area
for each chimney line), the operator can choose if the combustion
chamber door is self-locking or not self-locking. The correct lock-
ing of the combustion chamber door when operating the fire are is
always the responsibility of the operator and must be observed.
1.1.1 CONVERSION, LOCKING FUNCTION OF THE
COMBUSTION CHAMBER DOOR
Spartherm fireplace inserts that can be pushed-up are not carried out with
a self-locking combustion chamber door when delivered, folding fireplace
inserts are carried out with a self-locking combustion chamber door. The
door locking type with push-up fireplace insert with non-locking combustion
chamber door can be converted into a self-locking combustion chamber
door by removing the door counter-weights. The door locking type with
folding fireplace insert with non-locking combustion chamber door can be
converted into a self-locking combustion chamber door by relieving the door
closing spring.
The procedure for converting the door lock type can be found in the corre-
sponding installation instructions for the fireplace inserts.

1.3 ASSEMBLY SEQUENCE
1. For fireplace inserts with push-up combustion chamber door, first
unscrew the locking screws of the counter weights!
2. If required, use the clamp or the one-hand clamping lock included to
attach the external combustion air swivel to the adapter in the desired
position.
3. The fireplace insert has to stand absolutely vertical and horizontal!
4. 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 A FIREPLACE SYSTEM
Before installing the fireplace insert, make sure that the air controls func-
tion perfectly and repair if necessary. Consult a local expert to establish
the condition of the chimney and combustion air intake before beginning
installation. Note and apply DIN 18160 and DIN 18896. The responsible
standard DIN EN 13229 must be used. Every fireplace system requires its
own chimney. Multiple allocation is only permitted for chimney systems with
self-locking combustion chamber door.
The chimney calculation is based on DIN 4705 T1, T2 or EN 13384-1 with
the value triplet specified in these instructions. The optionally available
convection jacket is not required for tiled fireplaces. The fireplace system
must be set up as per the professional tiled stoves and ventilation engineer
regulations (TROL-Richtlinien für den Bau von Kachelöfen, available from
the German Central Association for Sanitation, Heating, and Air Conditioning
(ZVSHK), Rathausallee 5, 53729 St. Augustin, Germany).
3. INSTALLATION POINT AND COMBUS-
TION AIR SUPPLY
3.1 BASIC REQUIREMENTS ON THE INSTALLATION
POINT
Fireplace systems may only be installed in rooms and places in which the
location, construction situation and type of use do not lead to hazards. In
particular, when the model is dependant on indoor air, sufficient combustion
air must flow into the room in which the fireplace is set up. The floor area
must be of sufficient size and of a suitable design to allow an open fireplace
to be used correctly.
3.2 THE OPERATION OF THE FIREPLACE SYSTEM IS
NOT AT DANGER IF
• the chimney system has integrated safety equipment that automatically
and reliably prevents the negative pressure in the installation room.
• the required combustion air volume flow and the volume flow of the ven-
tilation system as a whole do not require any greater negative pressures
than 0.04 mbar in the installation room and the room and the rooms of
the ventilation network.
GB

GB 10
3.3 FIREPLACE SYSTEMS MUST NOT BE INSTALLED
• in stairways, unless they are in residential buildings with two or fewer
flats.
• in hallways with general access.
• in garages.
• in rooms 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
• fireplace systems in rooms or flats that are ventilated through ventilation
systems or warm air heating through the use of fans, unless the safe
operation of the fireplace system is ensured.
3.4 COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY
Fireplace systems may only be installed in rooms with at least one door or
window opening to the outside of the building or in rooms, directly or indi-
rectly "linked with other rooms by the same combustion air". When installing
fireplaces in apartments or building units for sundry use, only the rooms in
the same apartment or building unit are deemed to be "linked by the same
combustion air".
Fireplace systems may only be installed in the aforementioned rooms, where
the flow of combustion air is at least 360 m³ per hour and the combus-
tion chamber opening at least x m² in area. If other fireplace systems are
installed in the same installation room or in rooms that are joined to the
installation room, according to technical guidelines the fireplace systems
must be provided with at least 540 m³ of combustion air per hour and x m²
combustion chamber, and the other types of fireplace systems must have
at least 1.6 m³ of combustion air per hour and per kW total nominal heat
output at a calculated pressure difference of 0.04 mbar with respect to
atmospheric conditions. An air flow velocity of around 0.15 m/s is generally
used for calculating supply pipe diameter. For a fireplace insert with a
door height of 51x60 cm, a feed pipe cross-sectional area of 175 cm² is
required, i.e. a supply pipe diameter of ca. 15 cm.
Where the volume of combustion air at the installation is inadequate (e.g.,
in houses with ventilation systems), a combustion air feed pipe must be
connected to the appliance. The combustion air feed pipe is designed to
supply the appliance with air from another room. (The source room must
have a plentiful supply of air. If in doubt, consult a local expert and refer to
the FeuVo and DIN 18896).
A shut-off valve must be installed, where the combustion air feed pipe runs
outside the building. It must be possible to easily determine the shut-off
valve setting. This arrangement allows the feed pipe to be isolated, in order
to guard against the formation of condensation. The pipe must be posi-
tioned, so that any condensation formed can run out of the pipe and water
or other foreign substances cannot get in.
NOTE
In the interests of providing adequate amounts of combustion air, the Jan-
uary 1980 issue of Furnace Regulations for instructions on system design
and the May 1998 issue of Furnace Regulations for examples of working
systems should be consulted. These can be found in Institute of Building
Technology Report No. 3/1980, 17th. Ann. Issue (see also the commentary
to DIN 18895).

GB 11
5. FIRE PROTECTION ON / IN THE FIRE-
PLACE SYSTEM
5.1 SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR FIRE PROTECTION
5.1.1 FLOOR COVERINGS NEAR THE FIREPLACE
With a floor covering that is not fireproof made from combustible materials
(e.g., carpet, parquet, etc.), a fireproof spark protection covering made from
non-combustible material (e.g., respectively loadable glass, natural stone,
glazed tiles, tiles, marble, granite or other mineral construction materials)
must be installed. If this material is metal, it must have a minimum thick-
ness of 1 mm.
The flooring must be fastened down and secured against sidewards move-
ment. The spark-protection covering must be directed to the front, the
height of the combustion chamber base (fire board height) must be H plus
300 mm, and must have a minimum length of 500 mm.
If a log guard (not included) with a height of at least 10 cm is fitted, the
minimum distances listed above are sufficient and can be measured from
the log guard.
3.5 COMBUSTION AIR PIPING
In accordance with local regulations (Landesbauordnung) pursuant to Article
37 Paragraph 2 of the German Model Building Code, combustion air piping
crossing a fire wall in buildings with more than two fully-sized floors must
be installed such that smoke or fire cannot be transmitted to other floors or
fire compartments.
NOTE
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. EXHAUST CIRCUIT SHUT-OFF DEVICE
Fireplace systems with Spartherm fireplace inserts may have a cut-off
device in the vent. These devices must not be self-closing and must not be
positioned such as to prevent or hinder the inspection and cleaning of con-
necting pipework. The position of the shut-off device must be visible from
the outside, e.g., from the position of the operating handle. Shut-off devices
may only be installed in the exhaust manifold or collecting pipe, the flue
gas pipe stub or the pipeline connecting piece. Instead of cut-off devices,
fireplace inserts with combustion chamber doors can have throttle devices.
4.1 THROTTLING DEVICE
Throttling devices may only be installed in the flue gas pipe stub or pipeline
connecting piece. Throttling devices must be easy to operate. They should
have cross-sectional areas at the pipe of at least 20 cm² and not less than
3% of connecting pipe cross-sectional area. The throttling device setting
must be readily discernible at the operating handle.
GB

GB 12
The area starting from the straight area of direct radiant heat of the effec-
tive combustion chamber opening must also each be 300 mm to the left and
right for protection reasons (see figure).
If and how the chimney walls in your installation situation have to be insu-
lated, please consult your responsible stove fitter and the chimney sweeper.

5.1.3 SILL BEAM MADE OF HARDWOOD
5. The sill beam must be located outside the area of direct radiant heat.
6 A ventilated distance of 1 cm must be guaranteed. For fastening, non-combustible holders must
be used, e.g., from metal. These must be arranged and carried out so that the fee flow of air is not
obstructed.
7. The gap between the inner edge of the combustion chamber and the sill beam has to be at least 165
cm.
5.2 CONCRETE AND REINFORCED CONCRETE
LOAD-BEARING COMPONENTS
Fireplace systems must be installed so 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 up to 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 with a minimum distance of 1 cm. Direct anchorage with
thermal bridges is not permitted.
5.4 INSULATING LAYERS
(See chapters 7 and 8)
Mineral wool is the insulating material normally referred to in testing insti-
tute data and current insulating material regulations. Other suitable insu-
lating materials may be used as an alternative. The materials used must be
approved by the DIBt (German Institute of Building Technology) and provided
with certificates or marking in confirmation thereof.
5.4.1 INSULATING MATERIAL THICKNESS
Details for the insulating material thickness can be found under chapter
„11. Technical details“on page 14.
The minimum insulation thicknesses there to combustible and protective
components are only valid for components with a thermal transmittance
value (U-value) >0.4 W/m2K. From a U-value < 0.4 W/m2K, additional
measures must be made for fire protection (see DIN 18896:2013-12).

GB 15
Mats, sheets or shells of silica-based insulation material (stone or slag and
ceramic fibres) of 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 gross density of 80 kg/m3 are to be used to produce
the insulating layers (see Special information on insulation of the mounting
wall/side wall). When using insulating materials of this type, ensure they are
provided with an AGI-Q 132 code number.
The code number of the insulating material used must not, however, contain
the code sequence "99"! Where the insulating layer is not held in place by
walls, cladding or plating, it should be pinned into position at a maximum
distance of 33 cm between the pins. Other insulation materials, e.g., gas
concrete or mineral construction materials, must be approved by the German
Institute of Building Technology in Berlin (DIBt). It has to be installed accord-
ing to the manufacturer's instructions.
The individual insulation materials have different coefficients of thermal
conductivity which means the insulation material thicknesses will vary. The
required insulation material thickness can be taken from the diagram pro-
vided by the insulation material manufacturer.
Some thermal insulation materials can be used as a stud wall and insula-
tion at one and the same time. This significantly reduces installation depth.
Thermal insulation made of non-abrasive material such as, e.g., stone and
slag fibre must be abrasion-resistant, e.g., with steel plate cladding, so
that the recirculating air does not transport insulation particles into the
room. Other thermal insulation sheets leave the factory with added abrasion
resistance as required. This type of insulation material may only be installed
offset and all joints must be sealed. Where multiple insulation layers are
required, the joints should be arranged to overlap. The installation must
be correct and abrasion-resistant. Moreover, the exact position must be
permanently ensured.
5.4.2 PROTECTING THE MOUNTING WALL WITH A
STUD WALL
• A protective stud wall must be constructed when installing a wall-
mounted fireplace system. The stud wall must protrude at least 20 cm
beyond the connecting piece.
• A stud wall is not needed, where the walls of the building are:
- at least 11.5 cm thick
- made from non-combustible components
- is not a bearing concrete or reinforced concrete wall
• Stud walls are normally of brick construction, but may also be con-
structed from the heat-insulating panels referred to above, in order to
reduce the total thickness of the stud wall and insulating material.

6. INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
6.1 IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING
WITH WINDOW FRAME
Generally, a difference is made in the orifice plates, self-supporting frames
in massive and folded shapes.
Plug-in collimator (1V fireplace inserts only) Self-supporting solid collimator Self-supporting folded collimator

GB 17
After completing the heating chamber surface, orifice plates can be pushed
on and permit a clean transition from the combustion chamber opening to
the heating chamber. When installing the heating chamber, take care that
sufficient space is considered for mounting the collimator!
No cladding material may be mounted on orifice plates! A supporting
frame must be provided for mounting the weight load.
Self-supporting beams are connected fixed to the combustion chamber and
are suitable for direct wall mounting. In doing so, the maximum weight load
to be applied is 200 kg Depending on the combustion chamber type, you
have the possibility to readjust the collimator when installed in order to,
e.g., compensate settlements.
We recommend that insulation material, e.g., fibre glass ceramic or 2 mm
fibre glass paper is inserted between the self-supporting collimator and the
body of the heating chamber. This allows minor thermal expansion of the
fireplace insert to be compensated.
Heating chamber bodies with self-supporting collimator should always be
created with fibre glass grating / expansion joints in order to reduce the risk
of expansion cracks!
GB

GB 18
For bodies of the heating chamber flush with the ceiling or bodies with high
own weight, the self-supporting collimator must be fastened on-site. For
this purpose, the connecting rode must be released from the fireplace insert
and secured to the body wall or on the ceiling. You can use e.g., impact
anchors in combination with links made of steel for this, depending on the
wall construction.
The alignment of the collimator should be carried out using a spirit level.
During assembly and creating the heating chamber, take care that the sup-
porting frame and collimator are not positioned lower than the door hood of
the fireplace insert. For cleaning purposes, check the ability to push-up or
pivot the combustion chamber door. The combustion chamber door must
be able to be moved freely and open without resistance.
6.2 EXPANSION GAP BETWEEN THE CASING AND
THE FIREPLACE INSERT
There must be no direct connection between the fireplace insert and the
casing. An expansion joint must be provided and sealed by means of an
appropriate sealing strip. Please note that there must be a minimum dis-
tance of 6 cm between the door frame and the fireplace hood/installation
frame in order to be able to disassemble the fireplace insert door if neces-
sary (e.g. replace the pane).
0
>0
 

GB 19
6.3 FIREPLACE APRON
A fireplace hood must never be connected directly to the fireplace insert.
The apron must be self-supporting. Please note that there must be a min-
imum distance of 6 cm between the door frame and the fireplace hood/
installation frame in order to be able to disassemble the fireplace insert
door if necessary (e.g. replace the pane).
6.4 CONNECTING PIECE
The neck tube for the connection piece is on the flue dome of the fireplace
insert. The connection to the chimney must be carried out as directly as pos-
sible and can be established vertically as well as horizontally. Connection
of the chimney must be carried out using a wall lining in the brickwork, or
arranged according to the specifications of the flue manufacturer. Connecting
pieces for house chimneys are made to shape from fire-clay or steel piping
(2 mm sheet steel according to DIN 1623, DIN 1298 and DIN EN 1856 is
normally used).
NOTE
Requirements to the connecting piece in accordance with DIN 18160 Part 2.
6.5 HEAT DISSIPATION
Since it is possible to use different fireplace types with our fireplace inserts,
it is essential to consult a professional company when planning a fireplace.
Make sure that the level of heat dissipation is sufficient. This can be
achieved by using convection air ducts in the cladding, via heat-dissipating
cladding elements or using a combination of both.
6.5.1 HOT AIR SYSTEMS
Fireplace systems designed to transfer heat generated by convection (stoves,
fireplaces, etc.) must comply with the following points:
• The cross-section for the air inlet opening and for the air outlet opening
must be obtained from the technical data. Deviating cross-sections are
possible on calculated verification.
• It must not be possible to close at least 50% of the air inlet and air
outlet openings.
• Convection air jackets must be attached at all four connecting stubs. It
must not be possible to close the air inlet and air outlet openings.
• Air circuit pipes must be manufactured from a non-flammable,
non-deformable material.
• No flammable objects or materials (wooden ceiling components, furni-
ture) may be positioned within an area 30 cm to the side of, and 50 cm
above the system hot air discharge grilles.

6.5.2 FIREPLACE SYSTEMS WITH HEATING GAS
LINES PREPARED BY A CRAFTSMAN
Spartherm fireplace inserts that are tested according to EN 13229 are suit-
able for the attachment of ceramic gas lines prepared by craftsmen. The
dimensioning and the layout of the ceramic heating gas lines prepared by a
craftsman must be carried out according to applicable set of rules.
Verification must be provided that the heating gas temperature can suf-
ficiently operate the chimney system after leaving the ceramic line and
that the fireplace system has a sufficiently dimensioned heating-up unit
cross-section.
The stove fitter must inform the operator about the mode of operation and
the correct handling of the fireplace system.
6.5.3 CLOSED FIREPLACE SYSTEM CASING
Systems, in which heat dissipation is transmitted across the external sur-
faces of the fireplace (stoves, hypo-caustic units, devices with closeable
convection air openings, etc.), i.e. to the surroundings via radiation from the
casing surfaces, must comply with the following:
• The fireplace system must be designed and installed in accordance with
KL industry specifications (TR OL 2006).
• We recommend the use of sufficient storage material (e.g. Magnetherm),
in order to guarantee optimal heating and prevent over-heating due to
temperature peaks.
• Stove dimensions, i.e. the size of the heat-transmitting surfaces, will be
dependent on thermal output and heating requirements!
• Fireplace casing components must be selected to meet the heightened
requirements.
• The installer is obliged to inform the operator (preferably in writing) of
any special constructional or operating features. The amount of wood
used must correspond to the heat-transmitting properties of the surface
and the storage capacity of the storage medium (as a general rule, the
fire should not need refuelling more than 2 - 3 times per day).
• It is recommended, that contacting surfaces manufactured from flammable
substances be protected by ventilation.
• In systems fitted with sliding firebox doors, the guide roller and bear-
ing temperature must not exceed 270°C. Wherever possible, the area
around the fireplace insert should be insulated separately by means of
moveable mechanical components.
• When fitting components, ensure that the manufacturer's installation
guidelines are strictly adhered to, especially in respect of allowable
operating or ambient temperature and (wherever possible) accessibility.
7. GENERAL INSTALLATION INSTRUC-
TIONS FOR INSTALLATION SPACES
MADE FROM NON-COMBUSTIBLE
CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS
Important note: fireplace inserts must not be mounted on floating floor
screed, these must be mounted on composite screed with sufficient
load-bearing capacity. There must be a cleaning opening for the exhaust
pipe in the chimney cladding and with the respective products, water, heat-
ing and power connections must be provided!
