A. Ignition and air vent
Left position = closed
Right position = open
The air vent control is turned to the right to increase the
air supply. Normal working area is between the minimum
setting and the noticable click pushing it right.
Between the click and maximum right is kindling position.
IMPORTANT: Kindling position may only be used
during priming the insert. Continuous use may dam-
age the insert or overheat the installation and laead
to uncontrolled fire.
Area between A and B = kindling position.
Area between B and C = normal operating range.
IMPORTANT!: Service access to the air regulation
system below the insert must be ensured for all
surroundings.

The air vent control lock can be removed (NOT APPLICA-
BLE IN NORWAY). Use a 2,5 mm allen key to remove it.
5. Lighting a 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.
This will be resolved once the humidity has evaporated.
If needed leave the door slightly open the first 2-3 times
the insert is used.
It is advisable to ventilate the room well when using
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.
Warning!
In order to avoid injuries, please be aware that the
surfaface may become hot during operation and
extra care need to be taken to avoid skin burn.
Kindling wood
Finely chopped (diameter of 3-5cm)
Length: 25-30cm
Ca. amount pr lighting : 2,1 kg (beech)
Place the air vent control in ignition position (right - FIG
A). Insert small, dry pieces of wood, ignite and ensure
the flames have taken proper hold of the wood. When
the flames are stable and the chimney is warm, push in
the air control out of the ignition mode and regulate the
fire normally.
When there is a glowing layer of ash, new wood logs
can be inserted. Pull the hot ember to the sides of the
combustion chamber when inserting new logs so that
the wood is ignited from the bottom. Insert 2 logs.
control
One positioned diagonally to the bottom with left end
closer to left front side of window pane. The second
leaned against first one also diagonally in opposite
direction. Set the air vent on 30% air valve opening.
The fire should burn with bright and lively flames.
Reload size
Chopped wood
Length: <50cm
Normal load size. 2,9 kg /h
(Max load size: 3,8 kg/h)
Attention!
Using the insert with low combustion effect and firing
around the clock increase pollution as well as the risk
for a fire in the chimney. Never allow the insert or flue 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 fire will be found.
IMPORTANT! Always remember to open
the air vent control (preferably also the door)
before new wood logs are inserted into a hot burn
chamber. Let the flames get a good grip on the
wood before the air control setting is reduced.
When the draught in the chimney is low and
the vent is closed, the gas from the firewood
can be ignited with a bang. This can cause
damage to the product as well as the immediate
Never leave the air control in ignition mode for pro-
longed periods as this may lead to overheating.
6. Maintenance
Cleaning and inspection
The insert should be inspected thoroughly and clened
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 insert must always be cold when
inspected. The inspection shall be performed by the
Professional servicemen.
Ashes
The ashes should be removed at regular intervals.
Be aware that the ashes can contain hot ember even
several days after the fire is finished. 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.
