1. Prior to assembling the insert
All our products are tested according to the latest
European requirements and also to the Norwegian
standard NS 3058 and NS 3059, which include particle
tests. However, several European countries have local
regulations for installation of fireplaces, which change
regularly. It is the responsibility of the client that these
regulations are complied with in the country/region
where the fireplace is installed. Nordpeis AS is not
responsible for incorrect installation.
Important to check
(please note that this list is not exhaustive)
• distance from firebox to combustible/flammable
materials
• insulation materials/requirements between
fireplace surround and back wall
• size of floor plates in front of fireplace if required
• flue connection between firebox and chimney
• insulation requirements if flue passes through a
flammable wall,
•
an access for cleaning the appliance, the flue gas
connector, the chimney flue must be provided
Chimney draft
Compared with older models, the clean burning inserts
of today put significantly higher demands on the
chimney. Even the best insert will not work properly
if the chimney does not have the right dimensions or
is not in good working order. The draught is mainly
controlled by gas temperature, outside temperature, air
supply as well as the height and inner diameter of the
chimney. The diameter of the chimney should never be
less than that of the flue/chimney collar. For draft
requirements at nominal heat output, see technical
table
The draught increases when
•
The chimney becomes warmer than the outside air
• The active length of the chimney over the hearth
increases
• There is good air supply to the combustion
It can be difficult to obtain the right draught conditions
in case the chimney is too large relative to the insert,
as the chimney does not heat up well enough. In
such cases you may want to contact professional for
evaluation of possible measures. Draught that is too
strong can be controlled with a damper. If necessary,
contact a chimney sweeper.
Attention! Adverse flue draught or adverse weather
conditions, e. g. mist, wind etc., may interfere the
necessary flue draught. This should be checked be -
fore lightening the fireplace. If there is no necessary
flue draught in the chimney, the use of the fireplace
should be avoided.
Shared flue gas system
Appliance can be connected to shared flue gas pipe
sytem. In case of simultaneous operation with other
heating appliances, there must be sufficient combustion
air provided.
Air supply (FIG AIR_mm)
A set for fresh air supply is available as accessory.
This will ensure that the air supply to the combustion
chamber is less affected by ventilation systems,
kitchen fans and other factors which can create a
down-draught in the room. In all new construction, we
strongly recommend that it is designed and prepared
for direct supply of outside air. In older houses, the use
of fresh air supply set is also recommended. Insufficient
air supply can cause down-draught and thereby low
combustion efficiency and the problems that this entails
soot stains on the glass, inefficient use of the wood and
a soot deposits in the chimney.
Warning! Keep the air intakes, supplying
combustion air, free from blockage.
If the requirements for ventilation are
NOT complied with, the product can overheat.
This can cause a fire.
For your own safety, comply with the assembly instructions.
All safety distances are minimum distances. Installation of the
insert must comply with the current rules and regulations of
the country where the product is installed. Nordpeis AS is not
responsible for wrongly assembled inserts.

2. Technical information
The inserts from Nordpeis have secondary combustion
and are clean burning. The combustion takes place in
two phases first the wood burns and then the gases
from the fumes are lit by the hot air. This ensures that
these new inserts have minimal emissions of soot parti-
cles and unburnt gases (such as CO) and are thus bet-
ter for the environment. Clean burning inserts require
a small amount of wood in order to obtain a good heat
output. Use exclusively clean and dry wood. We
recommend seasoned hardwood with a maximum
moisture content of 20%.
Warning! In case of the appliance connected to
shared flue gas pipe system - the Self Closing
Door system must be operational.
Warrning! Extractor fans when operating
in the same room or space as the appliance
may cause problem.
