bolts that are included with the insert. The lid for
the smoke dome is normally already mounted on
the top for a posterior connection. If the fireplace
will be connected to a chimney at the top, move the
smoke lid to the rear flue outlet (FIG 5B). Use the
parts as shown in the illustration.
4. Install the heat shield around the smoke dome
(FIG 6). The heat shield comes in two parts that
are fastened with 4 self-drilling screws. Fasten the
heat shield so that the flue can be connected later.

Connection of the Flue

Please be aware when connecting the 150 mm flue
to the smoke dome that the flue is placed outside
the flue outlet collar. Use stove cement in the joints.
For the flue connection to the chimney, follow the
recommendations from the chimney manufacturer.

Operating Control

When the insert is in an upright position, and prior to
mounting the surround, check that all functions are
easy to manoeuvre and appear satisfactory.

Painting the Surround

It is recommended to use the insert a few times in
order to let the varnish harden before any eventual
masking and painting. Only use water based emulsion
paint and a designated masking tape. Carefully
remove the tape in order not to damage the varnish.

5. Lighting the Fire for the First Time

When the insert is assembled and all instructions
have been observed, a fire can be lit. Be careful with
touching the insert the first few times it is used as it
may damage the varnish.
Take care when inserting logs into the burn chamber,
in order not to damage the insulation plates. Please
note that during the first few firings, the insulations
panels within the firebox will release moisture
contained within them from production. This will slow
down the burn rate slightly and could cause markings
on the glass. These are easily removed with glass
cleaner once the glass has gone cold. Possibly leave
the door slightly open the first 2-3 times that the insert
is used.
It is advisable to ventilate the room well when
making the fire for the first time as the varnish
on the insert will release some smoke or smell.
This smoke and smell will disappear and are not
hazardous.
Lighting a fire
Insert small dry pieces of kindling wood, ignite and
ensure that the flames have a good grip of the wood

before closing the door. Open the ignition vent control
(Fig A) as you close the door. When the flames are
stable and the chimney is warm, close the ignition
vent control. If it is not closed the insert and chimney
may overheat. The air supply is then regulated with
the air vent control. (Fig B). NB! If the draught is low
after the fire has been lit, additional air supply can be
added by opening the ignition vent control.
FIG A
Ignition vent control
When there is a glowing layer of ash, new wood logs
can be inserted. Remember to pull the hot ember
forward in the insert when inserting new logs so that
the wood is ignited from the front. The ignition vent
control should be opened each time new logs are
inserted so that the flames get established. The fire
should burn with bright and lively flames.
Using the insert with low combustion effect increases
the pollution as well as the risk of a fire in the
chimney. Never allow the insert or flue to become
glowing red. Turn off the air vent control should this
happen. Regulation of the air vent control takes
some experience, but after a little while you will find a
natural rhythm for the fire.
IMPORTANT! Always remember to open the
ignition vent control as well as the air vent
control (preferably also the door) when new
wood logs are inserted into a hot burn chamber.
Let the flames get established on the wood
before the draught is reduced.
When the draught in the chimney is low and
the vents are closed, the gas from the firewood
can be ignited with a bang. This can cause
damages to the product as well as the immediate
environment.

6. Maintenance

Cleaning and Inspection

The insert should be inspected thoroughly and
cleaned at least once per season (possibly in
combination with the sweeping of the chimney and
chimney pipes). Ensure that all joints are tight and
that the gaskets are rightly positioned. Exchange any
gaskets that are worn or deformed. Remember that
the insert must always be cold when inspected.

Ashes

The ashes should be removed at regular intervals.
Be aware that the ashes can contain hot ember even
several days after the fire is finished. Use a container
