Convection; Minimum Clearances To Combustibles For Convection Air Grills - Spartherm Varia M60h Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

cavity of the fireplace. This may be accomplished by sealing the damper
area around the chimney liner, or sealing the appliance front.
E. The air flow within and around the appliance shall not be altered by
the installation of the insert (i.e. no louvres or cooling air inlet or
outlet ports are blocked), unless specifically tested as such for each
factory built fireplace manufacturer and model line. NOTE: Using a
louvered face plate (surround) complies with this requirement.
F. Alteration of the appliance in any manner is not permitted with the
following exceptions;
1. External trim pieces which do not affect the operation of the appli-
ance may be removed providing they can be stored on or within
the fireplace for reassembly if the insert is removed.
2. The chimney damper may be removed to install the chimney liner.
G. Circulating air chambers (i.e. in a steel fireplace liner or metal heat
circulator) shall not be blocked.
H. Means must be provided for removal of the insert to clean the chim-
ney flue.
I. Inserts that project in front of the fireplace must be supplied with
appropriate support means.
J. A permanent metal warning label must be attached to the back of
the fireplace stating that the fireplace must be restored to its original
condition for safe use without the insert.

4.5. CONVECTION

Spartherm stoves are convection stoves. Convection means that there is
a circulation of air, which ensures that the heat is distributed more evenly
throughout the entire room (see drawing).The cold air (blue arrows) is
drawn in at the base of the stove, then moved up through the convection
channel, which runs along the stove's combustion chamber.
The heated air (red arrows) pours out at the top of the stove, which
ensures a circulation of warm air throughout the room. Note, however, that
all exterior surfaces become hot during use – so take extreme care. Use the
insert optimally.
By installing hot air nozzles and flexible hoses (or similar) on top of the
stove, it is possible to "distribute" the heat to other rooms.
Consider the placement of convection air inlet and outlet holes. Ensure that
the holes are not blocked from the outside. There may be discoloration of the
wall above the stove doors, and above
the convection air outlet holes. This is
due to the ascending hot air Spartherm
accepts no liability for installation or
consequential damages.
Models should be installed only with
Spartherm provided convection air kits.
4.5.1. MINIMUM CLEAR-
ANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES
FOR CONVECTION AIR
GRILLS
Connect at least 4 gravity outlets 6 inch diameter to the convection air
outlet ports.
Exceptions: Arte 3RL60h and Arte U-50h: only connect 2 gravity outlets 6
inch diameter.
The minimum distance between the convection air grills the ceiling and
combustibles is 6.5 inch.
Do only use non combustible materials 6 inch surrounding the convection
air grills.
