Connection Of The Fl Ue; Operational Control; Painting The Surround; Lighting The Fi Re For The Fi Rst Time - Nordpeis N-21 Manuel D'installation

3. Install the smoke dome (FIG 5A). The dome is
assembled with a fastener on each side. Use a 13
mm spanner/wrench and the fastening disks and
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 fi replace
will be connected to a chimney at the top, move the
smoke lid to the rear fl ue outlet. Use the parts as
shown in the illustration (FIG 5B).
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 fl ue can be connected later.
Connection of the Flue
Please be aware when connecting the 150 mm fl ue
to the smoke dome that the fl ue is placed outside
the fl ue outlet collar. Use stove cement in the joints.
For the fl ue connection to the chimney, follow the
recommendations from the chimney manufacturer.

Operational Control

When the insert is in an upright position, and prior to
mounting the surround, control 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
breathing 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 fi re can be lit. Be careful with
touching the insert the fi rst few times it is used as it
may damage the varnish. This is only true when the
insert is new and the varnish has not yet heat cured.
Avoid strong hits when inserting logs into the burn
chamber, in order not to damage the insulation plates.
Be aware that humidity in the insulation plates can
cause slow combustion at initial fi ring, which will be
resolved as the humidity evaporates. Possibly leave
the door slightly open the fi rst 2-3 times that the insert
is used.
It is advisable to air well when making the fi re
for the fi rst 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 fi re
Insert small dry pieces of wood, ignite and ensure
that the fl ames 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 fl ames 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
fi re 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 coal, 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 fl ames get a good grip. The fi re
should burn with bright and lively fl ames.
Using the insert with low combustion effect increases
the pollution as well as the risk of a fi re in the
chimney. Never allow the insert or fl ue 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 fi nd a
natural rhythm for the fi re.
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 fl ames get a good grip 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 fi rewood
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.
