*Alternative versions of the flue collar exist due to
National requirements. For the flue connection to the
chimney, follow the recomenndations from the chimney
manufacturer.
Assmebling Upper Covers FIG 8, 9, 10
1. Place rear upper cover on the insert as it is shown
on FIG 8.
2. Loosen the screw shown on the FIG 9 - Detail A,
unscrewing it by approximately 720 degree.
3. Take front upper cover - place on the Insert.
Pay attention that small assembling plates, on the
cover side, have to be inserted to the side slots of
rear cover. See FIG 9 & 10.
4. The assembling is completed when cover is fastened
by the screw - FIG 10 - Detail D.
Removing the self closing door mechanism FIG 11
The self closing mechanism is located on the bottom
hinge. To deactivate it, carefully unhook the long end of
the spring. To completely the spring, remove the door as
shown in FIG 12
Removing the door FIG 12
Remove door protection (A). Carefully lift the door up
(B) and pull it out at the bottom (C).
Attention! Be carefull to lift the door high enough so that
the hinge does not scratch the paint on the frame.
The door is installed by following the same steps in
reverse order FIG 12.
Operational control
When the insert is in upright position, and prior
to mounting the surround, control that all functions are
easy to maneuver and appear satisfactory. The X-20F
insert is equiped only with an Ignition vent control.

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.
The horizontal mark on the back of the combustion
chamber indicates maximum intended woodloading
hight. See drawing FIG 13. Please note that there might
be some humidity in the insulation lates which can result
in a slower burn rate the first few times the insert is
used. 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.
Lighting a fire
Insert small, dry pieces of wood, ignite and ensure the
flames have a good grip of the wood before closing the
door. Open the ignition vent control as you close the
door. When the flames are stable and the chimney is
warm, close the ignition vent control. If it is not closed
the insert and chimney may overheat
When there is a glowing layer of ash, new wood logs
can be inserted. Pull the hot ember to the front of the
combustion chamber when inserting new logs so that
the wood is ignited from the front. Keep the door slightly
open each time new logs are inserted so that the flames
get established. The fire should burn with bright and
lively flames.
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 experien-
ce, but after a little while a natural rhythm for the fire will
be found.
