Powerstone assembly
Powerstone is an accessory. For assebling see a
separate instruction.

Flue collar and connection

Attention! Our inserts are prepared for
connecting the smoke pipe on the outside of the
lue collar Ø150. The collar can be adjusted or
turned around FIG 4B.
*Alternative versions of the lue collar exsist due to
National requirements. For the connection to the
chimney, follow the recommendations from the chimney
manufacturer

Painting the surround

It is recommended to use the insert a few times in order
to let the varnish harden before any eventual masking
and painting. Only use water based breathing paint and
a designated masking tape. Carefully remove the tape
in order not to damage the varnish.

5. Lighting the ire for the irst time

When the insert is installed and all instructions have
been observed, a ire 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 irst
few times the insert is used. This will be resolved once
the humidity has evaporated. If needed leave the door
slightly open the irst 2-3 times the insert is used.
It is advisable to ventilate the room well when using
for the irst time as the varnish on the product may
release some smoke or smell. Both the smoke and
smell will disappear and are not hazardous.
! Close the insert door during usage
See separate usage and maintenance manual
Warning!
In order to avoid injuries, please be aware that the
surfaface may become hot during operation and that
extra care need to be taken to avoid skin burn.
Lighting a ire
Kindling wood
Finely chopped (diameter of 3-5cm)
Length: 25-30cm
Ca. amount pr lighting : 2 kg
Place the air vent control in ignition mode (B). Insert
small, dry pieces of wood, ignite and ensure the lames
have taken proper hold of the wood. When the lames
are stable and the chimney is warm, pull the air control
out of the ignition mode and regulate the ire normally.

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. The ire should burn
with bright and lively lames.
Reload size
Chopped wood (diametre of 6-9cm)
Length: 25-50cm
Normal load size. 1,86 kg /h
(Max load size: 3,26 kg/h)
Using the insert with low combustion efect and iring
around the clock increase pollution as well as the risk
for a ire in the chimney. Never allow the insert or lue
to become glowing red. Turn of 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 ire will be found.
Never leave the air control in ignition mode for pro-
longed periods as this may lead to overheating.
IMPORTANT! Always remember to open the air
vent control before new wood logs are inserted
into a hot burn chamber. Let the lames 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 irewood
can be ignited with a bang. This can cause
damage to the product as well as the immediate

6. Maintenance

Cleaning and inspection

The insert 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 insert 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 ire is inished. 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.
