Floor plate
A reproof oor plate must be put in front of the replace
if the oor is of a combustible material.
Acrylic glue
The replace is to be assembled using acrylic glue.
Make sure all dust is removed and that the surfaces are
clean. When the replace is assembled, use the same
acylic glue for lling joints (FIG Z)
Minor damage
The replace can sustain minor damage during
transport and handling.
This can be repaired with acrylic/light ller. For perfect
results, you can ll and sand with a suitable ller. Minor
damage and uneven surfaces can be lled. If the
damage is deep or in the event of signicant damage,
you are recommended to ll repeatedly with tile
adhesive or cement putty to avoid sinking. Smooth o
with e.g. a damp sponge or a oat.
Fine Fissures
The building material around the replace can move.
In new houses in particular, it is common for building
materials to settle substantially in the early years. In
addition, all concrete elements shrink to a decreasing
extent for up to 15 months.
The result is that small cracks may appear in the
concrete/masonry.
Use the replace for a few months. If cracks appear,
scrape them out with a screwdriver or similar (to provide
more space for acrylic joint ller). Vacuum the surfaces
to remove any dust.
Inject acrylic joint ller and even it out with a spatula or
a nger wetted with soapy water.
The joint can be painted after a couple of days.
Painting
When the replace has been lled/sanded and the
glued joints are dry, the replace is ready to be painted.
Use only breathable paint (acrylic) intended for
masonry.
For your own safety, comply with the assembly instructions. All
safety distances are minimum distances.
Installation of the insert must comply with the rules and
regulations of the country where installed. Nordpeis AS
is not responsible for wrongly assembled inserts.
We accept no liability for typographical errors and changes.
2. Before Installing a new replace
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 replaces, which change
regularly. It is the responsibility of the client that these
regulations are complied with in the country/region
where the replace is installed. Nordpeis AS is not
responsible for incorrect installation.
Important to check
(please note that this list is not exhaustive):
• distance from rebox to combustible/ammable
materials
• insulation materials/requirements between
replace surround and back wall
• size of oor plates in front of replace if required
• ue connection between rebox and chimney
• insulation requirements if ue passes through a
ammable wall
Chimney draft
Compared to older models, the clean burning replaces
of today put signicantly higher demands on the
chimney. Even the best replace 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 ue/chimney collar. At nominal
eect there should be a negative pressure of 12 to 25
Pascal.
The draft 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 dicult to obtain the right draught conditions
in case the chimney is too large relative to the replace,
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. The product is type
tested and should be connected to a chimney that is
dimensioned for the smoke gas temperature indicated
in the CE declaration. When necessary, contact a
professional in advance
Air supply
A set for fresh air supply is available as accessory.
This will ensure that the air supply to the combustion
chamber is less aected 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. Insucient
air supply can cause down-draught and thereby low
combustion eciency and the problems that this entails:
soot stains on the glass, inecient use of the wood and
a soot deposits in the chimney.
