1. GENERAL NOTES
Please consult your district master chimney sweep before assembling and
installing your SEO stove. He will advise you of building law regulations, the
suitability of your chimney, and will conduct the ac-ceptance procedure for
your stove. The chimney calculation is executed in accordance with DIN EN
13384 with the value triplet specified in this manual (see technical data).
Important for 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
stove can become extremely hot! Danger of burn injuries!
Never leave these groups of persons unattended near the stove when a
fire is burning or has just been extinguished! The stove should never be
operated for an extended period of time unattended.
ATTENTION: The heat-resistant glove provided serves only as thermal protection when using the operating handle and the cold hand. The glove is
not fire-proof!
National and European standards, the respective state-specific and local
directives and regulations, in particular the respective firing installation
ordinance of the German Federal State, must be complied with for setup
and operation of your stove and for the connection to the chimney.
The stove must always be operated with the door closed. Modification of the
closing device is prohibited!

1.1 QUALITY CONTROL
OUR STOVE HAS BEEN TESTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH DIN EN 13240
AND SATISFIES THE REQUIREMENTS STIPULATED IN THE CONSTRUCTION PRODUCTS DIRECTIVE. (DECLARATION OF PERFORMANCE IS
AVAILABLE AND CAN BE VIEWED AT WWW.SPARTHERM.COM)
These stoves have a self-closing fire door which means the door is only
opened when the fireplace has to be serviced (e.g. to clean the combustion chamber or add more fuel). For safety reasons, the closing mechanism
must not be tampered with; furthermore, any such action would render the
warranty and operating licence null and void. The warranty and operating
licence are also rendered invalid if the customer modified the technology of
any other area of the stove.

The following points must be noted to ensure safe and problem-free
transport.
• It should always be shipped in an upright position, or slightly tilted on
its back!
• If wheelbarrows are used for transport, always lay the backs of stoves
in them.
2. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The assembly and installation of your SEO S and SEO L stove must be
carried out by a specialist. Before your stove is assembled and installed you
should meet with the master chimney sweep responsible for such matters
in your area to discuss the suitability of your chimney and the installation
location and to clarify other matters.

Fireplaces may only be installed in rooms and places where the location,
construction situation and type of utilisation do not lead to hazards. The
floor area of the installation must be of a design and size such that the
fireplace can be operated properly and as intended.
2.1.1 INSTALLATION SITE
Your SEO S / SEO L stove must not be installed:
1. In stairways, unless they are in residential buildings with two or fewer
flats.
2. In hallways with general access.
3. in garages.
4. 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 stove is ensured.
5. 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
Closed flue stones can be installed in rooms, apartments or utilization units
of comparable size from which air can be extracted using fans, e.g. in ventilation or hot air heating systems. The condition is that the vacuum-capable
equipment cannot create a vacuum > 8 PA.
2.1.2 MULTIPLE CONNECTION
Multiple use of the chimney in accordance with DIN 18160 is possible
because the SEO S / L stove has a self-closing fire door (type A1). Without
exception, this should always be discussed and agreed in advance with the
local chimney sweep. All fireplaces connected to a chimney must also be
approved for multiple connection!

2.3 INSTALLATION / ASSEMBLY
Your SEO S / SEO L stove must be installed on floors made of non-flammable
materials with a sufficient load-bearing capacity. Please observe the overall
weight (cf. Chapter 2.2 Technical data on page 7)! The load-bearing capacity may have to be ensured by a sufficiently thick board (weight distribution).
When selecting the installation site, also note the necessary measures for
fire protection in the floor area (cf. Chapter 2.5 Fire protection on page 12).
The stove is placed on the floor in compliance with the safety distances (cf.
Chapter 2.5 Fire protection on page 12) and aligned horizontally. The feet
are adjustable in height.
2.3.1 CHANGING THE FLUE GAS CONNECTION
DIRECTION
The stove is prepared for the flue gas connection at the top when delivered.
The flue gas connection position can be changed to the back. If the position
of the flue gas connection is changed, the following assembly steps must
be performed:
Installation from back to top
As a first step, remove the top sealing cover by pulling it forwards. Lift off
the blanking plate with the help of the recessed aperture. Dismantle the
inner cover plate by unfastening the two screws (Fig. 2a).
In the next step, remove the flue gas connector on the back of the stove by
unfastening the hexagon screws (waf 13 mm) (Fig. 2b).
Fit the unfastened connection journal at the top of the stove connection
flange (Fig. 2c) with the help of the two hex screws. Now fit the cover plate
removed in step 1 back to the inside rear wall panel using the two screws.
Seal the outer rear cladding panel with the help of a second cover plate
supplied in the stove combustion chamber.
Finally, slide the cladding cover removed in step 1 back onto the top plate
(Figs. 2d+2e).
Make sure that the sealing elements are correctly positioned under the
dummy cover and the flue gas outlet and ensure a tight seal.
Note for SEO S: If the SEO S model is connected to the rear flue point, this
blocks the turning function!
1. Remove the 3 cladding parts at the top in the following sequence (Fig.
2a):
- Cap (forwards)
- Blanking plate (upwards)
- Inside cover plate (upwards)
2. Remove the back connecting socket by unfastening the two screws (Fig.
2b)
3. Fit the connecting socket on the top appliance flange using 2 screws
(Fig. 2c).
4. Fit the 3 back cladding parts (Figs. 2d+2e)

2.4 COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY
The combustion air can be supplied in accordance with Chapter 2.4.1 Open
flue and Chapter 2.4.3 Closed flue in different ways.
2.4.1 OPEN FLUE OPERATING METHOD
Your ambiente SEO S / SEO L stove draws the combustion air from the
installation area (open flue operation). Ensure that there is a sufficient supply of fresh air to the installation area (for more details, refer to the applicable regional Fire Installation Ordinance (German ‘FeuVO’), DIN 18896,
applicable rules of technology etc.).
The fresh air supply must be checked by the installer and the operator.
When operating several fireplaces in a single room or linked space, ensure
that sufficient air is available for combustion! It is possible that there is not
a sufficient supply of fresh air if the windows and doors are sealed (e.g., in
combination with energy saving measures).
As a result, the ventilation of the stove can be affected. This can also
adversely affect your well-being and, potentially, your safety. If necessary,
an air valve must be installed near the pellet stove for the additional supply
of fresh air, or a combustion air line must be routed outwards (see 2.4.2) or
in a well-ventilated room (except for the heating room). In particular, ensure
that the necessary combustion air pipes are open during the operation of
the fireplace insert.
This means that simultaneous operation with a ventilation system (e.g.
extractor hood, bathroom fan, etc.) in the same room or connected space
can adversely affect the function of the stove (to the point of smoke or flue
gas accumulating in the living room, despite the firebox door being closed).
It is therefore prohibited to operate appliances of this kind simultaneously
with a fireplace without first taking appropriate precautionary measures.
GB
GB 11
2.4.2 SEPARATE COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY
The stove can be supplied with combustion air separately. The separate
combustion air connection is located on the underside of the appliance
(Ø = 100 mm). The combustion air line to be attached can be connected
underneath or at the back. A connection is integrated in the plinth for a
bottom connection.
To connect up combustion air, the following steps must be taken.
Assembly of the combustion air channel on the underside of the
appliance:
1. Place the appliance above the combustion air port in the floor and
remove the cladding plate (Fig. 3a).
2. Next, remove the sealing cover (Fig. 3b).
3. Connect the combustion air neck to a flexible and removable combustion
air line. If the combustion air connection is rigid at floor level, the separate combustion air nozzle supplied must be pushed into the connection
to form an airtight seal.
4. Finally, press together the combustion air line and install the combustion
air neck (Fig. 3c).
Fitting the combustion air channel to the back of the appliance:
1. First of all, unscrew the outer and inner cover plates (Fig. 3d).
2. Now fit the combustion air nozzle (Figs. 3e+f).
3. Lastly, connect the combustion air nozzle with the combustion air line.
When connecting a pipe connection to the combustion air neck, the combustion air can be supplied to the stove from the outside or from other
rooms such as the cellar. When connecting the stove to a combustion
air line, the TROL instructions (technical rules), DIN 18896, etc. must be
observed and applied.

GB 12
The combustion air openings and lines must not be closed or blocked unless
it has been ensured that the fireplace can only be operated with an open
lock by means of special safety equipment. The cross-section must not be
narrowed by a fastening or a grille. A shut-off valve must be installed, if
this combustion air feed pipe runs outside the building. In doing so, it must
be possible to easily determine the shut-off device setting from outside of
the connecting line. This arrangement allows the feed pipe to be insulated
to guard against the formation of condensation. The pipe should be positioned so that no water or other foreign substances from outside cannot get
into the stove, and that any condensation formed can run out of the pipe.
Even with a separate combustion air line for the stove, its operation can be
impaired by a ventilation system. Therefore, simultaneous operation is not
possible.
In accordance with regulations, combustion air lines crossing a fire wall in
buildings with more than two floors must be established in such a manner
that smoke or fire cannot be transmitted to other floors or fire compartments. Country-specific and local fire safety regulations must be observed!
2.4.3 CLOSED FLUE OPERATION
The SEO S / SEO L closed flue stoves have been developed for use with
residential ventilation systems for a vacuum range of up to 8 Pa in the
installation area and can be operated without additional safety equipment.
The combustion air must be supplied in airtight lines from the outside or
via an LAS system to the device for room-air-independent operation without
fail. To do this, the combustion air duct must be permanently sealed to the
combustion air neck (connection type back or bottom) of the stove.
When connecting the close flue stove to a combustion air line, the TROL
instructions (technical rules) and DIN 18896, etc. must be observed and
applied. In particular, ensure that the dimensions are adequate! Comply
with all country-specific and local fire safety regulations! Make sure that
the pipes are always airtight.
2.5 FIRE PROTECTION
The handover inspection of your stove before commissioning is performed
by the chimney sweep responsible. You can also advise the chimney sweep
prior to installation about installation conditions on site, and can provide
advice on how to install your stove properly.
General information on fire prevention
Stoves are heat generators and are subject to regulations and necessary
measures for fire protection. Right from selection of the installation site
stage, fire regulations and recommended minimum individual clearances for
the appliance must be observed.
Basically, a minimum wall clearance of 5 cm to the back wall must be
adhered to. For reasons of safety and fire protection, make sure that large
distances to walls to be protected or combustible components are maintained. See the following installation examples.
The following table documents the permissible safety distances. Using the
diagrams (Figs. 4a-4f), match the mounting situation, taking into account
the specified distances that need to be complied with.
During installation, please pay attention to the fire protection instructions
and contact your local chimney sweep with any questions you may have.
• Mounting walls that are non-combustible or which do not require protection are able to withstand permanent exposure to tempera-tures > 85°C
thanks to their structure and material type.
• Combustible mounting walls in need of protection (e.g. stud partition
construction) must be protected from temperatures above 85°C.
