A room air-dependent single fireplace, for example a wood-burning stove, draws its combustion air from the living room in which it is installed. Air extraction systems (e.g. domestic ventilation systems), which can create a negative pressure in the living space, therefore have a significant influence on the safe operation of the stove. The installation of a safety device, such as an air pressure switch, is therefore necessary. A room air-independent single fireplace, on the other hand, draws the combustion air required for combustion from outside the house via a separate shaft. This is routed from the outside wall or ideally via a suitable air/flue gas chimney system (LAS) directly to the installation site of the fireplace.

Further information can be found in our chimney & stove guide article: "Room air-independent or room air-dependent stove operation?"

For our KINGFIRE models, we use the abbreviation "S" for logs and "C" for Combustion Control. The KINGFIRE CLASSICO S is therefore a log stove without combustion control. A KINGFIRE GRANDE SC, on the other hand, is a log-burning stove with an optional combustion control system.

When choosing the location of a stove, distances to combustible materials, room ceilings, and walls play a key role and are defined by law.

The surface beneath the fireplace must be non-combustible. You can still enjoy parquet or wooden floorboards by placing a non-combustible protection plate - such as glass or steel - between the floor and the stove. Base plate dimensions are regulated to reduce the risk of flying sparks. Standard guidelines typically require the plate to protrude at least 30 cm to the sides and 50 cm to the front. If the stove features side viewing panels, the protective plate must be extended accordingly. Local building regulations and specific manufacturer instructions must always be observed.
