Currently applicable regulations

● Rüegg fireplace inserts are approved in accordance with European standard
DIN EN13229.

● These instructions are based on the "Document of generally accepted prac­ tices " of the VHP, version 1.1 and on German regulations.

● Fireplace installation must be in conformity with national and local regulations.
When installing a RÜEGG fireplace, in addition to the instructions contained

herein, you must ensure that the installation is in conformity with currently
applicable laws and regulations in your country. These include, for example:

- Building safety regulations, professional regulations and fire regula-
tions

- Laws and regulations relating to emissions

- Air purity laws and regulations

- Regulations and guidelines relating to fireplace fitters

- Laws and regulations regarding fire precautions (chimney sweep)

- Laws and regulations regarding fire insurance

● It is the fitter's responsibility to ensure conformity with the laws and regulations

in force in the country in question.

● Fireplaces should only be installed by qualified fitters.

Before installation

● Check immediately that there are no parts missing from the fireplace and that

it has not suffered any damage in transit. Check also that the dimensions are
correct, that the door opens without undue noise and that the fireplace pre­sents no defect.

● Check before installation that the fireplace glass door

functions correctly. Remove the security screws from
the counterweight and remove any other transport
safety elements. Any defects, such as operating diffi­culties or excessive noise, must be reported to your
dealer before starting the installation.

● Read the installation instructions carefully.

● Remove all the documents and accessories from the fireplace and give the

instruction manual to the end-user.

General points

Location

Open hearth fireplaces must not be installed:

- in stairways, except in residential buildings with no more than two apart-

ments

- in shared corridors

- in rooms where inflammable or explosive products are used, stored or

manufactured

- in rooms or apartments where air is removed on a continuous basis by a

fan system. This requirement does not apply to rooms where air is re­moved by ventilation systems fitted with safety appliances which safely
prevent the formation of a depression in the room in which the fireplace is
installed or which do not allow the formation of a depression under 0.04
mbar. These requirements do not apply to rooms fitted with ventilation
systems for the installation of heating systems sealed against ambient air.

Combustion air intake

Open hearth fireplaces can be installed in rooms which do not have external
combustion air intake flues, provided:

- they have at least one door opening to the outside, or a window that can

be opened, or they are directly or indirectly connected to other rooms
which can provide combustion air intake. If the fireplace is installed in an
apartment or similar, the combustion air intake must be connected only to
the room in question or to those rooms belonging to the apartment. Fire­places can only be installed in the afore mentioned locations if they have
a combustion air intake of at least 360 m³ per hour per m² of hearth open­ing. These requirements do not apply to fireplaces that can be operated
independently or separately from ambient air.

Open-hearth fireplaces can be installed in rooms with direct external combustion
air intake, provided:

- An external air flue corresponding to the fireplace insert is connected to

the exterior from the room in question. The flue must be fitted with an
hermetically-closing regulator in the room in which the fireplace is in­stalled. The regulator position must be clearly visible.

- External air flues are manufactured and installed in conformity with na-

tional construction regulations, so that in apartment buildings of more
than two floors, they fit over the firewalls so as to prevent the spread of
fire or smoke to other floors or rooms.

A1/B1 fireplaces

A1 and B1 fireplaces are fitted with an automatically closing door, certified and
tested in conformity with European standard DIN EN 13229 - A1. Open hearth
operation is forbidden, nor can these fireplaces be converted for open hearth
operation. The fireplace insert can be connected to a chimney flue for multiple
use. The effective height of the chimney flue must be at least 4 m, from the flue
gas intake. European standard DIN 4705/EN 13384-1 applies for the dimensions
of the chimney flue for the installation of a fireplace insert. Calculations for type AI
fireplace inserts are based on the volume of combustion air when the fireplace is
operating with its door closed. Type AI fireplace inserts meet the following re­quirements:

● Automatically closing door

● Efficiency > 70 %

● Nominal heating capacity < 11 kW

A2/B2 fireplaces

A2 and B2 fireplace inserts can also operate under open hearth conditions. It is
forbidden for the chimney flues to have multiple connections. The fireplace insert
must be connected to its own chimney flue, in other words only one heating unit
can be installed per chimney flue.

NOTICE
You should enquire as to whether multiple connections are legal in

your country.

Air-flow management

Operating modes and systems

● Rüegg fireplace inserts are designed so that the combustion air can be

drawn to the fireplace separately from the ambient air, for closed-door opera­tion. The combustion air is taken from outside the room in which the fireplace
is installed and is channelled directly to the fireplace where it is drawn into the
fire. The system is called AIR-Direct (= separate from ambient air)

● The second system for drawing air into the fireplace is the convection air

system, which is used mainly for heating the ambient air. Fireplaces in which
the convection air is guided by a convection jacket are called S fireplaces,
while those without the jacket are called K fireplaces. In this system, the con­vection air is taken in through a cavity in the fireplace casing and comes out
into the room through vents in the fireplace apron.

● If the fireplace insert also needs to operate with the door open, the convection

air system must be connected to an external air source. This means that the
external air will be heated by the convection air system and drawn into the
room and will arrive in the fireplace as combustion air, going through the open
door.

WARNING

If an open fired appliance is only supplied with fresh air by the AIR

DIRECT system, and the room is characterized by an airtight con­struction, a trouble free function cannot be guaranteed!

WARNING

Internal or external fans may never be attached to the combustion

air supply (AIR DRECT system) they are only used for advanced
convection air supply.

The diagrams below show a number of possible variations, with their correspond­ing airflows.

S-Fireplaces

On S fireplaces without a base/fan
chamber, the openings for the com­bustion air inlet sleeves (VL) and the
convection air inlet sleeves (KL) are
laser pre-cut in the housing.

Depending on your installation, the
blanking pieces can be removed on
the side or at the rear, and Ø150
mm air inlet sleeves fitted. You

should take into account the amount of
air required..

The convection air outlet sleeves
(KL) are factory fitted.

K-fireplaces

On K fireplaces without a base/ fan
chamber, the openings for the com­bustion air inlet sleeves (VL) are la­ser pre-cut on the housing. Depend­ing on your installation, the blanking
pieces can be removed on the side
or at the rear, and Ø150 mm air inlet
sleeves fitted. You should take into
account the amount of air required.
As K fireplaces are not fitted with a
convection jacket, the convection air
will circulate within the casing
through the openings that you will
have made for this. Make sure that
the inner lining of the casing is dust
free and abrasion resistant.

For casings made of heat storage
and radiation materials, for which a
convection circuit is generally not fit­ted, there must be a sufficient supply
of external air to the room in ques­tion for open hearth operation. The
openings are therefore precut by la­ser in the top of the glass panel pro­tective housing. For casings made of
heat storage and radiation materials,
without convection, these openings
can be connected up, in line with air
requirements. The openings are fit­ted with fresh-air connector units
with sleeves (article no. 12.59.0050),
to which a fresh air conduit of
Ø150 mm can be fitted.

Appliances on a socle

On appliances with a socle or venti­latorbox there are only openings
precut for the ambient air inlet (KL)

NOTICE

The lids of not used openings may never be taken away!
For a trouble free open use of the fireplace, the room must be suffi-

ciently supplied with fresh air from outside. The only use of the com­bustion air entry (VL) in this case is absolutely not sufficient.

External air ducts

● Use, if possible, round air supply ducts with a smooth internal surface.

● The internal surface of air supply ducts made of mineral materials or masonry
should be abrasion resistant

● The air supply ducts must be directly connected at their base or laterally to the
fireplace.

● The air supply ducts must be insulated with a non-inflammable material 3 cm
thick.

● The end of the air supply duct must be fitted with a removable fine mesh grid,
to prevent animals entering.

● All the systems must have an adequate supply of fresh air, with the appropri-

ate ducts and opening diameters, otherwise the system will not operate prop
perly in open or closed door modes.

● If the fitter estimates that ducts of smaller diameter will satisfy combustion air
requirements, then any such installation is at his own risk and responsibility, as
the manufacturer cannot guarantee proper operation under these conditions.

● Do not place the end of the external air conduit next to
a chimney flue or air exhaust outlet. Avoid also draw­ing external air from an area giving onto a road with
heavy traffic.

● Convection air ducts:

→ To prevent cold air ingress, thermal bridges or condensation,

hermetically closing valves should be fitted.

● Combustion air ducts:

→ To prevent cold air ingress, thermal bridges or condensation, non-

hermetically-closing valves should be fitted, and a free section of 10 cm

2

should be kept, which corresponds to an opening of Ø 3 cm. This prevents
dangerous build-up of gases.

● Avoid chimney flues larger than those listed in the table, as these could cause
the following issues:

- the flue gases cool too fast, which might cause condensation in the

chimney flue.

- insufficient chimney flue draft

● When wood fuel is used, the smoke exhaust system must be designed and
certified in consequence.

● The chimney flue must never be supported by the fireplace. The chimney flue
must be self-supporting and separated from the fireplace.

● When possible, a chimney flue of L < 4 m in length should not be used. To
obtain a stable draft for a chimney flue of length ≤ 4 m, an extractor fan can
be installed.

● If the fitter estimates that a flue of smaller section will satisfy requirements,
then any such installation is at his own risk and responsibility.

● New chimney flues of Ø25 or 30 cm, with a useful length of L ≥ 8 m or over,
and with good thermal insulation, can have the section reduced by a maxi­mum of 5 cm.

Thermal installation

General guidelines

● Fireplaces placed in a chimney system must always be thermally insulated
with regard to the building walls, floors and ceilings.

● Chimney systems installed in buildings with inflammable walls, floors or ceil­ings, must be clad with thermal insulation that meets the strictest requirements
(see table).

● Only insulation materials meeting the quality standards given below should be
used and must be approved by the relevant authorities (such as VKF in Swit­zerland or DIBT in Germany).

● Thermal resistance of the thermal insulation must be at least 700° C

● Thermal insulating materials that are in contact with circulating hot air (on all
the K-type fireplaces) must also be fitted with an abrasion resistant lining
(e.g. metal plates) with permanent thermal resistance.

● To prevent unpleasant odours during fireplace operation, only use thermal
insulation containing low-volatile bonding agents. Information on the composi­tion of thermal insulation maybe obtained from the manufacturers.

wall must be laid seamlessly to cover the whole of the building wall inside the
appliance casing cavity.

● The thermal insulation between the protective wall and the fireplace insert
must be laid seamlessly to cover the whole of the protective wall inside the
appliance casing cavity.

Ceiling (D1+D2)

● If the fireplace casing cavity above the fireplace inset extends to the ceiling,

then the ceiling needs to be protected by a layer of thermal insulation at
least 12 cm thick.

. The thermal insulation is laid on a non-inflammable cover, with a permanent,

unchanging thermal resistance.

● If the fireplace casing cavity above the chimney inset does not extend to the
ceiling, the cover does not need to be thermally insulated, but needs to be at
least 50 cm away from the ceiling.

Substitute thermal insulation

Substitute thermal insulation may be used instead of the protective wall, providing
it is certified and designed for this purpose. If this type of insulation is used, the
thickness of the total lagging (insulation/protective wall) may be reduced by up to
50%.

● If the protective wall and thermal insulation to the front of an inflammable

wall are replaced by substitute thermal insulation, the insulation must be ap­plied in two layers and the panel joints staggered.

● When certified thermal insulation is used for lagging, the reduction in total

lagging thickness (insulation/protective wall) is given by the manufacturer.

● Substitute thermal insulation must have proven long-term intrinsic static

stability.

Safety distances

At the front of the appliance

An inflammable coating or lining must be
laid at least 40 cm in front and on each
side of the loading door in solid-fuel-fired
fireplaces.

In case a bench is built, the same distance
is to be respected towards the fire opening.

On corner models as e.g. 720,
720 Giant, 720 Compact, Ellipse,
etc., if the side distances cannot
be realized, the inflammable lin­ing must be put to the wall.

If a fire bench is installed, the lining should
also extend at least 40 cm out from the
loading door.

Hot air vents

There must be no built-in or inflammable
elements (e.g. a wooden ceiling) within
30 cm to the side or 50 cm above the hot
air vents.

Additional installation instructions

Preparation / functional test

● Remove all the transport securing screws

WARNING

On the 720, 720 Compact and 720 Giant

appliances, remove 2 screws!

● Check the individual elements:

- raise and lower the hearth door

- swivel the hearth door

- open and close the air intake control

● Remove any accessories or documents to be found in the hearth.

● S type appliances can be fitted with an optional ventilation kit. Instructions for
fitting the kit are to be found in the packaging. The ventilation kit is installed at
the same time as the fireplace. Fan and speed regulator electrical connections
should be made before installation, by a qualified electrician. To avoid un­wanted noise and vibrations, the fan should only be fitted with the speed regu­lator supplied with it.

● The surface on which the fireplace is to be installed must be statically load­bearing. An appliance must not be laid directly on a floating floor.

● Electric wiring within the casing must be placed near the floor and insulated
when required. PVC-containing protective sleeves must not be used !

● The chimney flue must meet installation requirements.

Protective wall / concrete slab

● With regard to inflammable walls or those requiring protection, the walls within
the fireplace casing must be fitted with a suitable protective wall to provide the
required thermal insulation.

● With regard to an inflammable floor or one requiring protection, a concrete
slab must be laid directly on the load-bearing floor.

Thermal insulation

● All surfaces within the fireplace casing must be fitted with thermal insulation, in
conformity with requirements, while the fireplace is being installed..

● Thermal insulation on all K fireplaces must be made of abrasion resistant ma­terials.

CLASSIC-LINE
ECO-LINE Installation Guide

Air sleeves

Blanking pieces for unused air sleeves must not be removed.

● Unused air outlet sleeves (convection air) must be covered with airtight

blanking pieces

Placing the fireplace

● Fit the four adjustable legs and retract them completely (they
must not extend past the appliance jacket)

● Using the carrying handles and/or straps to move the appli­ance to where you wish to install it. Check that the carrying
handles are screwed in firmly to the appliance jacket.

● Set the fireplace down on the pre-prepared load-bearing surface

4 screws per
carrying handle

→ Corner fireplaces need 2 carrying handles,
while other models need 4 handles

CLASSIC-LINE
ECO-LINE Installation Guide

36

● In buildings with high acoustic standards, check the conformity of the appli-

ance's acoustic insulation with regard to the floor where it is to be installed.

WARNING

The fireplace must be set down on the four adjustable feet. The
bearing surface must be sufficiently strong to bear a load of up to
140 kg per foot. Additional static support can be added at a later
stage, using point bearings. K fireplaces must not be placed directly
against the thermal insulation at the rear and on the sides. A
continuous convection gap of 6 to 10 cm should be left.

● Thermal insulation should be placed under the bottom of the appliance.

● Adjust the horizontal and vertical position of the fireplace, using the four ad

justable feet and a spirit level.

Connecting up the external air

● Follow the instructions on pages 15 to 22 to connect up the external air.

● Fit the fresh air regulators as near as possible to the facing.

● When fitting the regulator controls, make sure they are readily accessible..

Connecting up the ambient air

● Follow the instructions on pages 15 to 22 to connect up the ambient air.

● Only place filters in the intake vent for appliances fitted with a fan.

Flue gas exhaust duct

● The following materials are allowed:

- steel sheet, thickness ≥ 2 mm

- chrome-plated steel sheet, thickness ≥ 1 mm or in accordance with manufac-

turer recommendations

● A smoke regulator must be fitted in the connector:

1. Fit the regulator onto the appliance sleeve

2. Screw in firmly

3. Connect up the regulator rod and block it using a retaining pin

4. Connect up the regulator control and block it using a retaining pin

CLASSIC-LINE
ECO-LINE Installation Guide

37

● If a flexible axle is used, it must not sit on the appliance.

● The smoke regulator must not close completely within the

flue gas exhaust duct and it should leave a small gap. This
gap is laser pre-cut in the RÜEGG and the cut-out can be
detached using pliers.

● The connection between the exhaust duct and the smoke
regulator must be completely airtight.

● Only valid for CH:

The connecting pipe must be completely insulated 3 cm

thick with incombustible material.

● The maximum authorised lengths of the flue-gas exhaust
duct horizontal runs are:

A/B2 fireplaces ≤ 80 cm
A1/B1 fireplaces ≤ 150 cm

These may be extended if a flue gas fan is used!

Check that horizontal runs are allowed in your country.

● The flue gas exhaust duct connects the fireplace to the

chimney flue, thereby facilitating air circulation.

● If the exhaust duct goes through construction elements
containing inflammable materials, cover the duct with a
mineral material, such as concrete, extending at least

20 cm outwards.

● Carry out an functional test of the smoke regulator, using

the regulator control, before fitting the fireplace casing.

● The exhaust duct should never be used to bear the weight

of the chimney flue.

Connecting up the convection air

● Follow the instructions on pages 15 to 22 to connect up the convection air.

Bearer frame

● The bearer frame is used to provide static support for the fireplace apron (cas­ing) in the front part.

● An expansion gap (fibreglass strip) should be placed between the appliance
and the bearer frame. There must be no direct connection between the
bearer frame and the appliance. The bearer frame must provide support for
the casing through the side pillars of the construction or through anchors set in
the building or in the ceiling.

Room-side facing

● The facing must be made of non-inflammable material.

● A fibreglass strip should be placed to cover the whole of the space between
the facing and the appliance.

● The facing must not prevent the glass door opening or closing.

● The facing does not need insulating if the free surfaces and the surfaces of the
areas designed for fuel storage cannot exceed a temperature of 85° C. On sur­faces made of mineral materials, for example ceramic tiles, upon which objects
might be placed, the maximum temperature is 120° C.

● Safety distances must be observed.

● The materials used must meet the required thermal resistance standards and
not produce odours when heated over time. This is why materials containing
plastics should be avoided.

Decorative beams

Wooden beams must be protected on the inner side by a heat shield (El 30) with
permanent thermal resistance. The rear of the beam must be covered by a 5 cm
thick layer of brick, a cellular concrete fireproof panel or non-inflammable insula­tion and covered by an non-inflammable EL 30 panel. There is no need to insu­late the appliance, if there is a hot air chamber between the fireplace insert and
the outer casing.

Combustion chamber lining in Thermobrikk®

The elements of the lining in Thermobrikk® consist of several loose items. The
illustrations below are applicable on all Rüegg fireplaces equipped with a lining in
Thermobrikk®.

Please proceed as follows when inserting the lining:

Insert wall parts in the combustion chamber; start
in the corner between back- and sidewall.

Insert wall parts in the combustion chamber. Next
to the fireplace opening, slide the element behind
the steel strip.

Custom cut parts must always be placed in front,
next to the fireplace opening!

Fill the side- and back walls with the wall elements
and slide them together without any space be­tween them.

Fix the L-Profile with screws to the wall of the
combustion chamber, as a fixation for the back­and side wall elements.

Place all floor elements correctly on the steel floor,
and divide the space between the different ele­ments evenly between the floor parts.

Steel fireplaces

When fitting steel fireplaces, follow the special fitting instructions which are deliv­ered with the fireplace.

The instructions can also be found online on www.ruegg-cheminee.com.

Additional weights for A1 appliances

For fitting extra weights, follow the special fitting instructions, which can also be
found online on www.ruegg-cheminee.com.

After the extra weights have been fitted, the door must close automatically and
completely. Open-hearth operation is forbidden on AI appliances.

After installation

Once the installation is finished, a number of final steps need to be carried out:

● Final visual inspection of the installation

● Functional test of the glass panel and unwanted noise, by raising and lower­ing it several times.

● Functional test of the hearth door by opening and closing it repeatedly.

● Functional test of the combustion air adjustment control operation (slight
rubbing or sliding noises are admissible)

● Functional test of the flue gas regulator.

● Functional test of the fresh air regulator.

● Functional test of the convection air fan (if fitted).

● Functional test of the flue gas fan (if fitted).

● The appliance handbook, with instructions, is personally handed over to the
owner

● Detailed instructions must be given to the owner as to fireplace operation
and safety rules.

● Detailed explanation and completion of the guarantee card.

Using your fireplace for the first time

The materials used (surround, parging, etc.) must be allowed to dry out complete­ly before the fireplace is used for the first time. Drying times are given in the man­ufacturers instructions.

 Open the doors and windows in the room in which the fireplace is installed.
 Instructions for the first heating are given in the attached booklet.
 It is normal for odours to be given off during the first heating. These occur due

to the evaporation of rolling oil and binding agents in the paintwork. The odours
are not harmful, but may be unpleasant.

 When the fireplace is initially heating up or cooling down, the materials will ex-

pand or contract and may produce cracking noises. These noises can vary in
intensity according to the type of fireplace.

Data plate

To ensure prompt after-sales service, we would ask
you to give the following details:

Type of appliance:

Serial number:

Date of manufacture:

Description of problem:

Data plate location depends on the type of appliance.
Front-opening fireplaces flat versions (Figure 1):

The data plate is located on the left of the appliance
just below the middle of the space reserved for raising
the door. To facilitate reading, it can be pulled out,
when the fireplace has cooled down,

Other fire-place forms (Figures 2+3):
The data plate, depending on the model, is located in
the middle or in the right or left hand upper corners
above the appliance door. To facilitate reading, it can
be pulled out, when the fireplace has cooled down.

Installation with heat storage materials

Modern, well insulated houses need heating systems with a low heat release rate.
This type of fireplace has a masonry heat storage jacket and a ceramic outer
casing (radiation panels, etc.). In these systems, part of the heat produced by
combustion is stored in the surround and then used for heating the room through
radiation. The casing is closed and has no air outlet vents. It must be designed to
allow the free circulation of heated air in the surround.

A heat storage system is different to a hot air appliance as regards the air flows
and thermal insulation. Except when stipulated otherwise (see below), the guide­lines and instructions given above also apply to heat storage systems.

Air circulation

 System and operating modes

> Page 11.

 Rüegg fireplaces can also be

fed with combustion air inside a
heat storage appliance, sepa­rately from the ambient air.

 For open hearth operation, ad-

ditional external air must be
drawn into the room. This can
be achieved by fitting additional
fresh air units
> Instructions Page 20.

 The fresh air units must be fit-

ted with an airtight connection
to a fresh air duct of Ø 150
mm.

 To prevent the ingress of cold

air when the appliance is not
being used and to prevent
thermal bridges, external air
ducts should be fitted with a
hermetically closing valve.

The fresh air duct must be drawn in from behind to the fresh air units. The height
difference between the sleeve on the fresh air unit and the inlet on the building
wall must be at least 80 cm. The height difference can also be obtained using a
siphon. The air inlet must, however, always be lower.

Thermal insulation

WARNING

There are more stringent insulation regulations for completely closed
constructions, due to higher retained temperatures.

Heat storage jacket

 The jacket will consist of heat storage

panels. It must be compact and fitted
around the fireplace insert.

 The materials used must have the fol-

lowing characteristics:

- High density (≈ 2,8 kg/dm3)

- Good conductivity

- High thermal resistance

 The distance between the appliance

and the internal face of the jacket
should be about 2 – 4 cm.

 Air vents of about 10 x 6 cm should be

fitted at the top, bottom and on the
sides of the jacket. See also the dia­gram on page 48.

 The cover will be made with heat stor-

age panels, and can be thermally insu­lated on top, depending on the type of
appliance.

 The cover sits statically on the side

walls of the heat storage jacket. There
must be no direct contact between the
cover and the fireplace insert.

 A distance of between 4 and 12 cm

should be left between the outside face
of the jacket and the thermal insulation.

 Avoid where possible any direct con-

tact between the appliance and the

heat storage system. If this cannot be
avoided, the contact surfaces should be
fitted with fibreglass-strip expansion
gaps.

Casing

 The material used must have the following characteristics:

- Good conductivity

- High thermal resistance

WARNING

Thermal insulating materials, such as expanded concrete, must not be
used as they might subject the appliance to excessive thermal stress.

 There must be no direct contact between the heat storage jacket and the

casing.

 To ensure even heat distribution, a gap of between 4 and 12 cm should be

left between the outside of the jacket and the inside of the casing.

 Ensure there is adequate internal air circulation between the appliance and

heat storage system and the storage system and the casing.

 The minimum casing surface area with regard to nominal heating power

(NWL= nominal power) is given by the following equation:

 If, for technical reasons, it is not possible to apply the optimal casing surface

area, an adjustable hot air vent should be fitted in the casing.
