In order to change to a posterior mounted ue outlet:
FIG 5A: Remove the perforated decoration lid in the
back with a hammer, or saw it out with a hacksaw
FIG 5B: Unscrew the sheet steel lid.
FIG 6: Unscrew the ue outlet collar with a 5 mm Allen key.
FIG 7: Fasten the sheet steel lid on the top ue outlet.
FIG 8: Fasten the collar on the posterior ue outlet.
Connection of the Flue
Please be aware when connecting the 150 mm ue to
the smoke outlet that the ue is placed outside the ue
outlet collar. Use stove cement in the joints.
* The approximate centre height of the hole for the
ue is marked in the dimensioned drawing. Consider
possible inclination of the ue prior to perforating the
chimney. Distortions in oors and walls may inuence
the height. Dry stack the replace for accurate height
and positioning of the ue/chimney connection. If
a fresh air supply set (accessory) is connected through
the oor, mark where the hole should be.
The insert expands when in use, and for this
reason the insert must NEVER rest on the
surround, 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 ue connection.
For the ue connection to the chimney, follow the
recommendations from the chimney manufacturer.
Operating control
FIG 9A/9B: The door is opened and closed by gently
pushing in the handle (about 10 mm) and then let it out
again.
FIG 10: The air vent control is adjusted by moving the
lever to the left.
FIG 11A: Remove ashes by shaking the ash grate with
the cold-handle, or alternatively with a spade.
FIG 11B: The ashtray is pulled out in front with the cold-
handle.
When the insert is in an upright position, and prior to
mounting the surround, check that all functions are
easy to manoeuvre and appear satisfactory.

Assembly instructions for the surround
(FIG 13 - FIG 25)
Acrylic glue is used for gluing the elements towards
wall, gluing the elements together and for lling joints.
When assembling, ensure that the vertical joints are
absolutely vertical(FIG 17).
FIG 14: Place the bottom element and ensure that it is
levelled. Adjust with wedges or powder glue if needed.
FIG 19: Carefully tilt the insert backwards in order to
place the lockring.
FIG 20 / FIG 21 / FIG 23: Ensure that there is a gap
between the insert and the surround as the insert
expand with heat.
FIG 23: Place two wedges on top of the insert before
assembling the top elements in order to avoid that the
element rests on the insert. Remove the wedges once
the glue is dry.
Read the text on Adjustment for more information.
FIG 25: Once the replace is assembled, ll the joints
with acrylic and even them out with a sponge or
nger and some soapy water, in order to have a clear
indentation between the elements (FIG Z).
6. Lighting the Fire for the First Time
When the replace is assembled and all instructions
have been observed, a re 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 rst
few times the replace is used. This will be resolved
once the humidity has evaporated. Possibly leave the
door slightly open the rst 2-3 times that the replace
is used. It is advisable to ventilate the room well
when ring for the rst time as the varnish on
the replace may release some smoke or smell.
Both the smoke and smell will disappear and are not
hazardous.
Lighting a re
Insert small dry pieces of kindling wood, ignite and
ensure that the ames have established on the wood
before closing the door. Open the air vent control
(FIG 10) before the door is closed. Additional ignition
air is obtained by keeping the door slightly ajar. The
air supply is regulated with the air vent control once
the ames are stable and the chimney is warm. New
wood logs can be inserted when there is a glowing
layer of ember . Pull the hot ember to the front of the
combustion chamber when inserting new logs so that
the wood is ignited from the front. Leave the door
