The insert expands when in use, and for this
reason the surround must NEVER rest on the
insert, but have a gap of about 3 mm. The
insert must neither rest on the bench plate
or against the sides. It is recommended to
dry stack the surround in order to adjust the
insert prior to perforating the chimney for
the flue connection.
2. Carefully lay the insert on its back. Ensure that
the transportation padding is put inside the insert
before turning it over, so that the insulating plates
in the burn chamber do not fall down and break.
Please note that the insulating plates may release
coloured dust when touched. Avoid touching the
insert with dust on your fingers. Any visible dust on
the insert can be brushed off with the glove that is
included.
Start with assembling the legs (FIG 3) as follows:
•
Fasten the screws on to the insert with a 13 mm
spanner/wrench. The legs are placed as shown in
the illustration.
•
Adjust the legs (FIG 4) to the desired height (X)
before returning the insert to an upright position
( do not tilt the insert ). The height varies
according to the surround.
Regulation of leg height (X) for N-24:
From: 210 mm To: 330 mm.
3. Install the smoke dome (FIG 5A). The dome
is assembled with 4 fasteners. 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 placed on the top for a posterior
connection and on the posterior outlet for a
top connection. 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 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. *Alternative versions exsists due to
National requirements
For the flue 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.

Removing the self closing mechanism FIG 10
1. Remove the transport safety
2. Open the door and tighten the set screw using a
3mm Allen Key.
3. Carefully push the door upwards
4. Loosen the set screw with the Allen key. The door
can now be lowered back into place.
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 fire can be lit.
Take care when inserting logs into the burn chamber,
in order not to damage the Thermotte plates. Please
note that there might be some humidity in the
insulation plates which can result in a slower burn rate
the first few times the insert is used. These will be
resolved once the humidity has evaporated. 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 firing for the first time as the varnish
on the product may release some smoke or smell.
Both the smoke and smell will disappear and are not
hazardous.
Lighting a fire
Insert small dry pieces of wood, ignite and ensure
that the flames have a good grip of the wood before
closing the door. Open the ignition vent control (FIG
7A) 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 7B). NB! If the draught is low
after the fire has been lit, additional air supply can be
added by opening the ignition vent control.
When there is a glowing layer of ash, new wood logs
can be inserted. Pull the hot ember to the front of
the combustion chamber when inserting new logs so
that the wood is ignited from the front. Keep the door
slightly open 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 and firing
around the clock increase pollution as well as the
