according to the surround.
Regulation of leg height (X) for N-24:
From: 210 mm To: 330 mm.
3. Install the smoke dome (FIG 5A). The dome
is assembled with 4 fasteners. Use a 13 mm
spanner/wrench and the fastening disks and bolts
that are included with the insert. The lid for the
smoke dome is placed on the top for a posterior
connection and on the posterior outlet for a
top connection. Use the parts as shown in the
illustration (FIG 5B).
4. Install the heat shield around the smoke dome
(FIG 6). The heat shield comes in two parts that
are fastened with 4 self-drilling screws. Fasten the
heat shield so that the flue can be connected later.

Connection of the Flue

Please be aware when connecting the 150 mm flue
to the smoke dome that the flue is placed outside
the flue outlet collar. Use stove cement in the joints.
For the flue connection to the chimney, follow the
recommendations from the chimney manufacturer.

Operational Control

When the insert is in an upright position, and prior to
mounting the surround, control that all functions are
easy to manoeuvre and appear satisfactory.

Pushed in = closed
Pulled out = open

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 Fire for the First Time

When the insert is assembled and all instructions
have been observed, a fire can be lit. Be careful with
touching the insert the first few times it is used as it
may damage the varnish. This is only true when the
insert is new and the varnish has not yet heat cured.
Avoid strong hits when inserting logs into the burn
chamber, in order not to damage the insulation plates.
Be aware that humidity in the insulation plates can
cause slow combustion at initial firing, which will be
resolved as the humidity evaporates. Possibly leave
the door slightly open the first 2-3 times that the insert
is used. It is advisable to air well when making the
fire for the first time as the varnish on the insert
will release some smoke or smell. This smoke and
smell will disappear and are not hazardous.

Lighting a fire
Insert small dry pieces of wood, ignite and ensure
that the flames have a good grip of the wood before
closing the door. Open the ignition vent control (FIG
7A) 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. The air supply is then regulated with
the air vent control (FIG 7B). NB! If the draught is low
after the fire has been lit, additional air supply can be
added by opening the ignition vent control.
When there is a glowing layer of coal, new wood logs
can be inserted. Remember to pull the hot ember
forward in the insert when inserting new logs so that
the wood is ignited from the front. The ignition vent
control should be opened each time new logs are
inserted so that the flames get a good grip. The fire
should burn with bright and lively flames.
Using the insert with low combustion effect increases
the pollution as well as the risk of 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 you will find a
natural rhythm for the fire.
IMPORTANT! Always remember to open the
ignition vent control as well as the air vent
control (preferably also the door) when new
wood logs are inserted into a hot burn chamber.
Let the flames get a good grip on the wood
before the draught is reduced.
When the draught in the chimney is low and
the vents are closed, the gas from the firewood
can be ignited with a bang. This can cause
damages to the product as well as the immediate
environment.

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 with 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 insulation plates when the ashes are
removed, particularly when using an ash spade.
