Adjusting The Feet Of Linear Fireplace Cassettes; Fundamental Requirements For The Installation/Use Of An Open Fireplace; Installation Location - Spartherm XS 500 Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

2.1 ADJUSTING THE FEET OF LINEAR FIREPLACE
CASSETTES
Fig. 1
Your fireplace cassette is delivered with the feet secured by a nut (Fig. 1).
Undo the nut before installation (Fig. 2). You will need a size 19 spanner.
The feet can then be adjusted from the inside during installation of the
fireplace cassette.
2.2 FUNDAMENTAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE
INSTALLATION/USE OF AN OPEN FIREPLACE
All necessary national and European standards, as well as local regulations
in the German state (DIN, DIN EN, state building regulations, fire regula-
tions etc.) must be observed and applied for the installation, connection
and operation of the fireplace cassette. The following is a list of the relevant
regulations (without any claim to completeness).
FeuVo/LBO/VKF: Fire regulations of the relevant federal state / state
building regulations or fire protection regulations of
the VKF (Switzerland)
2.BlmSchV: First ordinance for implementing the Federal Immis-
sion Control Act
TR-OL: Specialist regulations issued by the Tile Stove and Air
Heating System Association (ZVSHK)
DIN 1298 / EN 1856: Connecting flue pipes for heat generating systems
DIN EN 13229: Inset appliances including open fires using solid fuels
DIN 18896:
DIN EN 13384:
DIN 18160-1/2:
Fireplaces may only be installed in rooms and locations where no danger
results from their position, structural conditions and type of use. The sur-
face area of the installation room must be designed in such a way and be
large enough to ensure that the fireplace can be properly operated in line
with its intended purpose.

Fireplace cassettes are fireplaces that are dependent on room air. This
means that problems can arise when a ventilation system is operated at the
same time (e.g. cooker extractor hood, bathroom fan, etc.). In these cases,
suitable measures (e.g. low pressure monitor) must be taken to ensure that
safe operation is guaranteed.

2.2.1 INSTALLATION LOCATION

General requirements placed on installation sites for fireplaces and
fireplace cassettes:
Fireplace cassettes may only be installed in rooms and locations where no
danger results from their position, structural conditions and type of use. In
particular, in the case of fireplace designs dependent on room air then suf-
ficient combustion air must flow through the installation space. The surface
area of the installation room must be designed in such a way and be large
enough to ensure that e.g. open fireplaces with cassettes can be properly
operated.
There is no risk to the operation of fireplace cassettes when:
• The system has safety devices that independently and reliably prevent
low pressure in the installation room.
or
• The total combustion airflow volume required for the fireplace cassettes
