    General information Spartherm fireplace cassettes are high quality German products. They are easy to install because they are pre-assembled. Please observe these instructions and discuss them together with the new owner of the fireplace cassette. You should talk to the responsible heating inspector/chimney sweep in your district before installing your fireplace cassette.
  • Page 7: Certified Quality / Definition

    Certified quality / definition Our fireplace cassettes are tested according to DIN 13229. This family of cassettes can be installed in four standard sizes (500-900) into, for example, existing open fireplaces. However, it is also possible to install the fireplace cassette in a similar way to a fireplace insert if the appropriate tests have been completed.
