The Lacunza Adour 800 is a wide, front-glazed fireplace insert where the fire is visible through a continuous rectangular pane. It provides a clear horizontal view of the fire without the side glass that characterizes the Adour 800 CLI/CLD and CLID, making it a natural choice for a straight, built-in opening.
Choose the model with a turbofan if you want to actively distribute warm air from the insert. The variant without a turbine lacks the fan-assisted function. Both have external air supply and Lacunza's Easy Fire Control air regulation, and the large glass front provides a good overview of the fire.
The Adour 800 is sold as the insert itself; the mantel, surround, and chimney connection are not included as a ready-made solution. Plan convection openings, free airflow, and space for sweeping and servicing according to the manual. For those who want to see the fire from the side, the Adour 800 CLI/CLD with a corner pane or the CLID with glass on both sides is available.
Installation
Installation must be carried out by a qualified installer in accordance with the Lacunza manual and applicable regulations. For the Adour 800, the manual specifies safety distances to combustible materials of 300 mm above, 1500 mm in front, and 250 mm to the sides/rear. Check that the support can withstand the weight of the installation and that heat-sensitive materials are properly protected.
Built-in Installation and Ventilation
When built in, the surround must have adequate air circulation. Lacunza specifies a minimum fresh air opening of 1000 cm² below the appliance and a minimum hot air outlet of 1250 cm² above. Keep the openings clear and connect external combustion air according to the manual when it is in use.
Firing, Care and Servicing
Check the glass, flue passage, seals, door, and deflector before the first firing. Use dry wood and follow the wood quantities specified in the manual. Clean the glass, ash compartment, air intakes, and flue passages when the insert is cold, and ensure access for chimney sweeping/servicing. On the turbine version, the fan's air passages and electrical components must be kept clean.
Combustion Air and Chimney
Size the chimney according to the model's flue connection and check whether the specific version has external air supply. Air ducts and any ducted hot air must be planned before the surround is closed and must remain accessible for inspection.
Firing and Air Control
Use dry, untreated wood and follow the Lacunza manual for wood quantities and air control. Double combustion and glass air flushing work best when the air passages are kept clear and the fireplace is not overloaded. Open the door slowly when adding wood and avoid overfiring.
