7. Warranty
For detailed description of the warranty conditions
see the enclosed warranty card or visit our website
www.nordpeis.com
The inserts have a plaque with the RRF number 29 09
1918. The CE mark is placed on the side of the insert.
8. Advice on Lighting a Fire
The best way to light a re is with the use of lightening
briquettes and dry kindling wood. Newspapers
cause a lot of ashes and the ink is damaging for the
environment. Advertising yers, magazines, milk
cartons and similar are not suitable for lighting a re.
Good air supply is important at ignition. When the ue is
hot the draught increases and door can be closed.
Warning: NEVER use a lighting fuel such as
petrol, parafn, methylated spirits or similar
for lighting a re. This could cause injury to
you as well as damaging the product.
Use clean and dry wood with a maximum moisture
content of 20% and minimum 16%. The wood logs
should dry for a minimum of 6 months after it is cut.
Humid wood requires a lot of air for the combustion,
as extra energy/heat is required for drying the humid
wood and heat effect is therefore minimal. In addition
this creates soot in the chimney with the risk of creosote
and chimney re.
Storing of Wood
In order to ensure that the wood is dry, the tree should
be cut in winter and then stored during the summer,
under roof and in a location with adequate ventilation.
The wood pile must never be covered by a tarpaulin
which is lying against the ground as the tarpaulin will
then act as a sealed lid that will prevent the wood from
drying. Always keep a small amount of wood indoors for
a few days before use so that moisture in the surface of
the wood can evaporate.
Firing
Not enough air to the combustion may cause the glass
to soot. Hence, supply the re with air just after the
wood is added, so that the ames and gases in the
combustion chamber are properly burnt off. Open the
air vent and have the door slightly ajar in order for the
ames to establish properly on the wood.
Note that the air supply for the combustion also can
be too large and cause an uncontrollable re that
very quickly heat up the whole hearth to an extremely
high temperature (when ring with a closed or nearly
closed door). For this reason you should never ll the
combustion chamber completely with wood.
It is recommended to keep an even re with a small
amount of wood. If too many logs are put on the hot
ember, the air supply will not be sufcient for reaching
the require temperature, and the gases will be released
unburnt. For this reason it is important to increase the
air supply just after adding the logs in order to have
proper ames in the burn chamber so that the gases
are burnt.
Choice of Fuel
All types of wood, such as birch, beech, oak, elm, ash
and fruit trees, can be used as fuel in the insert. Wood
species have different degrees of hardness - the higher
the hardness of the wood, the higher the energy value.
Beech, oak and birch havest the highest degree of
hardness.
NB! We do not recommend the use of fuel briquettes /
compact wood in our combustion chambers, as these
products may develop signicantly higher temperature
than the combustion chamber can withstand. Burning
briquettes / compact wood is at your own risk and can
cause invalidity of the warranty.
Warning:
NEVER use impregnated wood, painted wood,
plywood, chipboard, rubbish, milk cartons,
printed material or similar. If any of these items
are used as fuel the warranty is invalid.
Common to these materials is that they
during combustion can form hydrochloric
acid and heavy metals that are harmful to the
environment, you and the insert. Hydrochloric
acid can also corrode the steel in the chimney
or masonry in a masonry chimney. Also, avoid
ring with bark, sawdust or other extremely ne
wood, apart from when lighting a re. This form
of fuel can easily cause a ashover that can
lead to temperatures that are too high.
Warning: Make sure the insert is not overheated
- it can cause irreparable damage to the product.
Such damage is not covered by the warranty.
