INDEX 1. Prior to assembling the stove
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 with older models, the clean burning stoves
of today put signicantly higher demands on the
chimney. Even the best stove 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. 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
• Good air supply to the combustion
It can be difcult to obtain the right draught conditions
in case the chimney is too large relative to the stove,
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.
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 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. Insufcient
air supply can cause down-draught and thereby low
combustion efciency and the problems that this

11
GB
entails: soot stains on the glass, inefcient use of the
wood and a soot deposits in the chimney.
Dimensional drawing
The illustrations indicate the approximate centre height
of the recess for the ue. Consider possible inclination
of the ue prior to perforating the chimney. Distortions
in oors and walls may also inuence the height. Place
the stove for accurate height and positioning of the ue/
chimney connection.
For your own safety, comply with the assembly instructions.
All safety distances are minimum distances. Installation of the
stove must comply with the current rules and regulations of
the country where the product is installed. Nordpeis AS is not
responsible for wrongly assembled stoves.
Subject to errors and changes.

2. Technical Information
The stoves from Nordpeis have secondary combustion
and are clean burning. The combustion takes place in
two phases: rst the wood burns and then the gases
from the fumes are lit by the hot air. This ensures that
these new stoves have minimal emissions of soot
particles and unburnt gases (such as CO) and are
thus better for the environment. Clean burning stoves
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 moisture
content between 16% and 20%.

5. Lighting the re for the rst time
When the stove is assembled and all instructions
have been observed, a re can be lit. Be careful with
touching the stove the rst few times it is used as it
may damage the varnish. Take care when inserting
logs into the burn chamber, in order not to damage
the Thermotte plates. Please note that during the rst
few rings, the insulations panels within the rebox
will release moisture contained within them from
production. This will slow down the burn rate slightly
and could cause markings on the glass. These are
easily removed with glass cleaner once the glass has
gone cold. Possibly leave the door slightly open the
rst 2-3 times that the stove is used. It is advisable to
ventilate the room well when making the re for the
rst time as the varnish on the stove will release
some smoke or smell. Both the smoke and smell will
disappear and are not hazardous. When lighting the re
for the rst time we also recommend opening/shutting
the door regularly the rst two hours to aviod the door
gasket sticking to the varnish.
Lighting a re
Insert small dry pieces of kindling wood, ignite and
ensure that the ames have established before closing
the door. Open the air vent control (Fig 6) before you
close the door. Additional ignition air is obtained by
leaving the door slightly open. When the ames are
stable and the chimney is warm, the air supply is
regulated with this air vent control so that the stove and
chimney do not become overheated.
When there is a glowing layer of ash, new wood logs
can be inserted. Remember to pull the hot ember
forward in the burn chamber when inserting new logs
so that the wood is ignited from the front. Open the vent
or leave the door slightly open each time new logs are
inserted so that the ames get established. The re
should burn with bright and lively ames.
Using the stove with low combustion effect increases
pollution as well as the risk of a re in the chimney.
Never allow the stove or ue to become glowing
red. Turn off the air vent control should this happen.
Regulation of the air vent control takes some
experience, but after a little while a natural rhythm for
the re will be found.
IMPORTANT! Always remember to open the air
vent control (preferably also the door) when new
wood logs are inserted into a hot burn chamber.
Let the ames get established on the wood before
the draught is reduced.
When the draught in the chimney is low and
the vents are closed, the gas from the rewood
can be ignited with a bang. This can cause
damages to the product as well as the immediate
environment.
6. Maintenance
Cleaning and Inspection
The stove should be inspected thoroughly and cleaned
at least once per season (possibly in combination
with the sweeping of the chimney and chimney pipes).
Ensure that all joints are tight and that the gaskets are
rightly positioned. Exchange any gaskets that are worn
or deformed. Remember that the stove must always be
cold when inspected.
Ashes
The ashes should be removed at regular intervals.
Be aware that the ashes can contain hot ember even
several days after the re is nished. Use a container
of non-combustible material to remove the ashes. It is
recommended to leave a layer of ashes in the bottom
as this further insulates the burn chamber. Take care
with the Thermotte plates when the ashes are removed,
particularly when using an ash shovel, so as not to
damage them.
Thermotte™ Plates
The insulating plates in the burn chamber (FIG 5)
contribute to a high combustion temperature, which
leads to cleaner combustion of the wood and a higher
rate of efciency. Any ssures in the plates will not
reduce their insulation efciency.
If new plates are needed, contact your dealer.
In case the Thermotte plates need to be replaced, lift
the smoke bafe (A) in order to remove the sideplates.

B. Side plate
C. Back plate
D. Side plate
E. Log-stopper
F. Lower plate

13
GB
Please note: Wood logs that are too long can cause
strain and crack the plates, due to the tension created
between the side plates.
Please also note that the Thermotte plates may release
coloured dust when touched. Avoid touching any cast
iron parts with dust on your ngers. Any visible dust
on cast iron can be brushed off with the glove that is
included.
Door and glass
Should there be any soot on the glass it may be
necessary to clean it. Use dedicated glass cleaner.
(NB! Be careful, detergents can damage the varnish).
If different detergents are used they may damage the
glass. A good advice for cleaning the glass is to use a
damp cloth or kitchen roll paper and apply some ash
from the burn chamber. Rub around the ash on the
glass and nish off with a piece of clean and damp
kitchen roll paper. NB! Only clean when the glass is
cold. Check regularly that the transition between the
glass and the door is completely tight. Possibly tighten
the screws that hold the glass in place - but not too
hard, as this can cause the glass to crack. Periodically,
it may be necessary to change the gaskets on the door
to ensure that the burn chamber is air tight and working
optimally. These gaskets can be bought as a set
including ceramic glue.
Ceramic glass should
be disposed of as resid-
ual waste, together with
pottery and porcelain
CERAMIC GLASS
CANNOT BE
RECYCLED
Recycling of the ceramic glass
Ceramic glass cannot be recycled. Old glass, breakage
or otherwise unusable ceramic glass, must be discarded
as residual waste. Ceramic glass has a higher melting
temperature, and can therefore not be recycled together
with glass. In case it would be mixed with ordinary
glass, it would damage the raw material and could, in
worst case end the recycling of glass. It is an important
contribution to the environment to ensure that ceramic
glass does not end up with the recycling of ordinary
glass.
Packaging recycle
The packaging accompanying the product should be
recycled according to national regulations.
7. Warranty
For detailed description of the warranty conditions
see the enclosed warranty card or visit our website
www.nordpeis.com
8. Advice on lighting a re
The best way to light a re is with the use of lightening
briquettes and dry kindling wood. Newspapers cause a
lot of ash 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, karosine, alcohol 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%. The wood should be dried 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 the heat
effect is therefore minimal. This in addition 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 stored during the summer, covered
and in a location with adequate ventilation. The wood
pile must never be covered by a tarpaulin 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.
Usage
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. 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 heats up the whole combustion chamber to an
extremely high temperature (when using 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. Too many logs put on hot ember, may
result in combustion air starvation, and the gases will
be released unburnt. For this reason it is important to
increase the air supply just after adding logs.
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 density - the more
dense the wood is, the higher the energy value. Beech,

14 GB
oak and birch has the highest density.
Attention! We do not recommend using fuel
briquettes/ compact wood in our products. Use of
such fuel may cause the product to overheat and
exceed the temperatures determined safe.
Burning briquettes/ compact wood is done so at
your own risk and only small amounts (max 1/3 of
normal load) should be used for each load.
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 during
combustion they can form hydrochloric
acid and heavy metals that are harmful to
the environment, yourself and the insert.
Hydrochloric acid can also corrode the steel in
the chimney or masonry in a masonry chimney.
Also, avoid burning 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.

be installed in the room.
Downdraught in the room – caused by extractor and/or
central ventilation system that pulls too much air out of
the room.
Turn off/regulate extractor and/or other ventilation. If this helps, more
vents must be installed.
The ues from two replaces/stoves are connected to
the same chimney at the same height.
One ue must be repositioned. The height difference of the two ue
pipes must be of at least 30 cm.
The ue is in a declining position from the smoke dome
to the chimney.
The ue must be moved so that there is an inclination of at least 10º
from smoke dome to chimney. Possibly install a smoke suction device*.
The ue is too far into the chimney. The ue must be reconnected so that it does not enter into the chimney
but ends 5 mm before the chimney inner wall. Possibly install a smoke
suction device*.
Soot hatch in the basement or attic that is open and thus
creating a false draught.
Soot hatches must always be closed. Hatches that are not tight or are
defected must be changed.
Damper/top draught vents or doors on replaces that are
not in use are open and create a false draught.
Close damper, doors and top draught vents on replaces that are not in
use.
An open hole in the chimney after that a replace has
been removed, thus creating a false draught.
Holes must be completely sealed off with masonry.
Defect masonry in the chimney, e.g. it is not airtight
around the ue pipe entry and/or broken partition inside
the chimney creating a false draught.
Seal and plaster all cracks and sites that are not tight.
The cross-section in the chimney is too large which
results in no or very low draught.
The chimney must be retted, possibly install a smoke suction device*.
The cross-section in the chimney is too small and the
chimney cannot carry out all the smoke.
Change to a smaller replace or build new chimney with a larger cross
section. Possibly install a smoke suction device*.
The chimney is too low and hence a poor draught. Increase the height of the chimney and/or install a chimney cap/smoke
suction device*.
The stove

The stove
does not heat
sufciently.
The replace combustion receives too much oxygen
due to a leakage under the lower border of the stove
or too strong chimney draught. Difcult to regulate the
combustion and the wood burn up too quickly.
Any possible leakage must be sealed off. A draught regulator or possibly
a damper can reduce the chimney draught. NB! A leakage of only 5 cm2
is enough for 30% of the heated air to disappear.
Too much
draught
The smoke buffer is wrongly positioned. Verify the positioning of the smoke buffer – see assembly instructions.
In case of using oven-dried wood, this requires less air
supply than when using normal wood.
Turn down the air supply.
The gaskets around the door are worn and totally at. Replace the gaskets, contact your dealer.
The chimney is too large. Contact chimneysweeper or other professional for more details.
The glass is
sooty
The wood is too wet. Only use dry wood with a humidity of maximum 20%.
The air vent control is closed too tightly. Open the air vent control to add air to the combustion. When new
wood logs are inserted all vent controls should be completely opened
or the door slightly opened until the ames have a good take on the
wood.
