Removal of the self closing door mechanism FIG 6
The self closing mechanism is located on the
bottom hinge. To deactivate it, carefully unhook the long
end of the spring. To completely remove the spring,
remove the door as shown in FIG 7.
Removing the door FIG 7
Carefully lift the door up (A) and pull it out at the
bottom (B). Attention! Be carefull to lift the door
high enough so that the hinge does not scratch the
paint on the frame.
Inserting the door FIG 8
Reinsert the door by carefully lifting it upwards into the
hinges at the top of the frame. Follow by lifting the door
into the hinge at the bottom of the frame. Be carefull to
lift the door high enough so that the hinge does not
scratch the paint on the frame.
FIG 9
The air vent control lock can be removed (NOT
APPLICABLE IN NORWAY). Use a 3mm allen key to
remove it.
Assembly of the smoke dome FIG 10-13
The smoke dome is attached on three sides using the
added bolts and washers.
FIG 10
The insert can be connected at the rear or top. The
smoke cover needs to be moved accordingly.
FIG 11
The smoke dome is assembled with screws and
washers on each side. Use a 10 mm
spanner/wrench and the screws/washers included.
FIG 12
The smoke dome can be rotated to desired angle
before the screws are tightened.
Install the heat shield around the smoke dome
(FIG 13). The heat shield comes in two parts that are
assembled with 4 self-drilling screws. Fasten the heat
shield so that the flue can be connected later.
Flue collar and connection
Attention! Our inserts are prepared for
connecting the smoke pipe on the outside of the
flue collar Ø150.

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.

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.
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 first few
times the insert is used. This will be resolved once the
humidity has evaporated.
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 (Fig B) 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
A). 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 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.
