Locking Function Of The Combustion Chamber Door; Conversion, Locking Function Of The Combustion Chamber Door - Spartherm Mini R1V51 Installation Instructions Manual

1.1 LOCKING FUNCTION OF THE COMBUSTION
CHAMBER DOOR
The suitability of the fireplace insert for multiple allocation (two or more
fireplace inserts on the same chimney) depends on if the door has a
self-locking function:
Self-locking door function: fireplace insert is suitable for multiple allocation
No self-locking door function: multiple allocation is not permitted, thus, the
fireplace insert must be connected to its own chimney line.
Note: with a multiple allocation of the chimney, this must be built and
designed accordingly.
In doing so, the question must be asked if the fireplace insert is an "open
fireplace" or not. In Germany, an "open fireplace" is not subject to the emis-
sion requirements of the BImSchV level 1 (Ordinance in the Implementation
of the Federal Emission Control Act), but may be operated "occasionally".
The manufacturer specifies the mode of operation of the fireplace insert
and determines if the device can be used correctly when open and thus
must be termed as "open chimney": open burning permitted according to
the manufacturer: open fireplace only with occasional operation of open
burning according to the manufacturer is not permitted: closed chimney,
not limitations in use
Note: the former terms from "Design A1" or "Design A" that are derived from
the standard DIN 18895 that is no longer valid frequently resulted in the
mixture of the features specified above and are no longer valid.
Generally, Spartherm fireplace inserts are operated correctly when they are
closed thus, with the exception of feeding or cleaning, the fireplace insert
doors must be shut.
Fireplace inserts for burning with combustion chamber door open
tested by ourselves are marked in the installation instructions for
the fireplace insert enclosed separately in the technical data.
When operating on a chimney with single allocation (one fire area
for each chimney line), the operator can choose if the combustion
chamber door is self-locking or not self-locking. The correct lock-
ing of the combustion chamber door when operating the fire are is
always the responsibility of the operator and must be observed.
1.1.1 CONVERSION, LOCKING FUNCTION OF THE
COMBUSTION CHAMBER DOOR
Spartherm fireplace inserts that can be pushed-up are not carried out with
a self-locking combustion chamber door when delivered, folding fireplace
inserts are carried out with a self-locking combustion chamber door. The
door locking type with push-up fireplace insert with non-locking combustion
chamber door can be converted into a self-locking combustion chamber
door by removing the door counter-weights. The door locking type with
folding fireplace insert with non-locking combustion chamber door can be
converted into a self-locking combustion chamber door by relieving the door
closing spring.
The procedure for converting the door lock type can be found in the corre-
sponding installation instructions for the fireplace inserts.
