Maintenance; Cleaning And Inspection; Ashes; Thermotte - Nordpeis N-20 T Manuel D'installation

WARNING:
Never leave the air control in ignition mode for pro-
longed periods as this may lead to overheating.
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
environment.

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).
To see how to get access to the chimney in order to
chimney sweep see steps shown on FIG 20, FIG 21 &
FIG 24.
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 Professi-
onal 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.

Thermotte™

The insulation plates (Thermotte - FIG 2) are classified
as "wear and tear" parts which will require to be exchan-
ged after some years.The wear time will depend on the
individual use of your product.
Nordpeis offers a one-year warranty on these parts.

After this, replacements can be purchased.If new plates
are needed, contact your dealer.
In case it is necessary to take out the insulation plates,
this is done in followieng order.
A. Side plate
B. Bottom plate
See also drawings from FIG 20 to FIG 23.
Please note: Wood logs that are too long can cause
additional strain and crack the plates, due to the tension
created between the side plates.

Door and Glass

Should there be any soot on the glass it may be
necessary to clean it. Use dedicated glass cleaner,
as other detergents may damage the glass. (NB! Be
careful, even dedicated glass cleaner can damage the
varnish on the door frame and the gaskets). 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 finish off
with a piece of clean and damp kitchen roll paper.
NB! Only clean when the glass is cold.
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, usually including ceramic glue.
CERAMIC GLASS
CANNOT BE
RECYCLED
Ceramic glass should
be disposed of as resid-
ual waste, together with
pottery and porcelain
Recycling of 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. If 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.
