Technical description of the fireplace insert

Description of the main parts

The fireplace insert consists of a plinth which is fitted with rectifying screws to level

the fireplace insert into horizontal position. In the bottom part, there is an air-supply

box for combustion. This box enables to connect the air for combustion from another

room or exterior through flexible pipe. The bottom of the hearth serves for the

distribution of primary, secondary and tertiary air. In the bottom, there is also an ash

chamber with an ashpan. The hearth is lined with LacFire refractory concrete shaped

pieces. The hearth body is made from steel sheet, with the thickness of 3 or 4 mm. The

hearth area is closed by fireplace door which is made from heat-resistance ceramic

glass. The door is equipped with a seal. In the upper part of the hearth, there is a set of

deflectors for the regulation of the flue gas flow. These can also be used for the

regulation of draught with which flue gases are exhausted into the chimney. Flue gases

escape through a hub with the diameter of 160 mm which serves for the connection of

the flue pipe. The door, type SIGMA, enables horizontal movement. The door is led in

two rails and with four pairs of rollers. It is balanced with a counterweight connected

to the door with a stainless wire strand. After the door is arrested, it can also be

opened horizontally, e.g. for its cleaning.

Description of operating elements:

Operation of the fireplace insert is ensured by the following operating elements:

Handle –enables vertical movement of the door

Door stay –arrests the door for its horizontal opening or unhanging

Catch –enables horizontal opening of the door

Air-supply controller for burning –regulates the amount of air for burning and glass

rinsing.

The use of all operating elements is described in chapter Operation of the Fireplace

insert.

Main materials used

Fireplace inserts FLAMEN are made only from quality materials. The body of the

fireplace insert is made from steel sheet, with the thickness of 3 or 4 mm. The hearth,

including grate, is lined with a special accumulative refractory concrete LacFire.

Picture No. 2A. Assembly of the Exchanger deflectors.

Firstly install the exchanger deflectors. Install these deflectors before connection to

the flue line! Place the deflectors on the top of the hot-air exchangers (rectangular

tubes). Position is secured by bolts (see pic. 2A) which fit to the holes at the sides of

the deflector. Positions of these deflectors can regulate the chimney draught. The

position can be either fully closed or slightly open. If necessary, this deflector can be

disassembled to increase the chimney draught (leads to a slight loss of efficiency).

Now assemble the upper deflector –see pic. 2B. This deflector has got two holes which

has to be put onto two bolts placed at the front side of the insert.

Picture No. 2C. Assembly of the Bottom deflector.

Put this deflecor into the insert. The rear bent edge of the deflector has to be put on

the top side of the rear cladding –see pic. 2C. Lift the front side of the deflector up and

insert the delivered tubes on to the bolts placed on the left and right side. After

inserting the tube put the defletor down, the defletor will be supported by the tubes.

Herewith, the assembly of deflectors is fully finished.
