1. Prior to assembling the insert
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 fireplaces, which change
regularly. It is the responsibility of the client that these
regulations are complied with in the country/region
where the fireplace is installed. Nordpeis AS is not
responsible for incorrect installation.
Important to check
(please note that this list is not exhaustive):
• distance from firebox to combustible/flammable
materials
• insulation materials/requirements between
fireplace surround and back wall
• size of floor plates in front of fireplace if required
• flue connection between firebox and chimney
• insulation requirements if flue passes through a
flammable wall

Chimney draft
Compared with older models, the clean burning inserts
9
of today put significantly higher demands on the
9
chimney. Even the best insert will not work properly
9
if the chimney does not have the right dimensions or
is not in good working order. The draught is mainly
10
controlled by gas temperature, outside temperature, air
supply as well as the height and inner diameter of the
10
chimney. The diameter of the chimney should never
be less than that of the flue/chimney collar. For draft
10
requirements at nominal heat output, see technical
10
table
10
11
The draught increases when:
11
• The chimney becomes warmer than the outside air
11
• The active length of the chimney over the hearth
11
increases
11
• Good air supply to the combustion
11
It can be difficult to obtain the right draught conditions
11
in case the chimney is too large relative to the insert,
as the chimney does not heat up well enough. In such
12
cases you may want to contact professional for
12
evaluation of possible measures. Draught that is too
12
strong can be controlled with a damper. If necessary,
12
contact a chimney sweeper.

Air supply
A set for fresh air supply is available as an accessory.
13
This will ensure that the air supply to the combustion
chamber is less affected by ventilation systems, kitchen
14
fans and other factors which can create a down-draught
in the room. In all new constructions, we strongly
recommend the product is designed and prepared
for direct supply of outside air. In older houses also,
the use of fresh air supply set is also recommended.
Insufficient air supply can cause poor draught and
thereby low combustion efficiency and the problems this
entails: soot stains on the glass, inefficient utilisation of
the wood and a soot deposits in the chimney.
For your own safety, fully comply with the assembly
instructions. All safety distances are minimum distances.
Installation of the insert must comply with the current rules
and regulations of the country where the product is installed.
