Connection of the Flue
Please be aware when connecting the 150 mm flue to
the smoke outlet that the flue is placed outside the flue
outlet collar. Use stove cement in the joints.
* The approximate centre height of the hole for the
flue is marked in the dimensioned drawing. Consider
possible inclination of the flue prior to perforating the
chimney. Distortions in floors and walls may influence
the height. Dry stack the fireplace for accurate height
and positioning of the flue/chimney connection. If
a fresh air supply set (accessory) is connected through
the floor, mark where the hole should be.
The insert expands when in use, and for this
reason the insert must NEVER rest on the
surround, but have a gap of about 3 mm. The
insert must neither rest on the bench plate or
against the sides. It is recommended to dry stack
the surround in order to adjust the insert prior to
perforating the chimney for the flue connection.
For the flue connection to the chimney, follow the
recommendations from the chimney manufacturer.
Operating control
FIG 9A/9B: The door is opened and closed by gently
pushing in the handle (about 10 mm) and then let it out
again.
FIG 10: The air vent control is adjusted by moving the
lever to the left.
FIG 11A: Remove ashes by shaking the ash grate with
the cold-handle, or alternatively with a spade.
FIG 11B: The ashtray is pulled out in front with the cold-
handle.
When the insert is in an upright position, and prior to
mounting the surround, check that all functions are
easy to manoeuvre and appear satisfactory.

Thermotte®plates
These insulating plates (FIG 12) in the burn chamber
contribute to a high combustion temperature, which
leads to cleaner combustion of the wood and a higher
rate of efficiency. Any fissures in the plates will not
reduce their insulation efficiency. If new plates are
needed, contact your dealer.
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.
In case the plates need to be replaced, lift the smoke
baffle (A) in order to remove the side plates.

Assembly instructions for the surround
(FIG 13 - FIG 25)
Acrylic glue is used for gluing the elements towards
wall, gluing the elements together and for filling joints.
When assembling, ensure that the vertical joints are
absolutely vertical(FIG 17).
FIG 14: Place the bottom element and ensure that it is
levelled. Adjust with wedges or powder glue if needed.
FIG 19: Carefully tilt the insert backwards in order to
place the lockring.
FIG 20 / FIG 21 / FIG 23: Ensure that there is a gap
between the insert and the surround as the insert
expand with heat.
FIG 23: Place two wedges on top of the insert before
assembling the top elements in order to avoid that the
element rests on the insert. Remove the wedges once
the glue is dry.
Read the text on Adjustment for more information.
FIG 25: Once the fireplace is assembled, fill the joints
with acrylic and even them out with a sponge or
finger and some soapy water, in order to have a clear
indentation between the elements (FIG Z).
Smaller damages
Powder glue is used to repair any notches or wounds in
the concrete. Mix the provided powder glue with water
(the consistency of the glue should be that of tooth
paste). Before you start, use a damp sponge to wet the
concrete surface. This will remove dust and provide
for better adhesion. Fill in any uneven surfaces. If the
damage is deep, we recommend filling twice in order to
avoid sinking. Fill smaller cracks and uneven surfaces
with a float or a brush. Smoothen the surface with a
damp sponge or sand paper.
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 emulsion paint and
a designated masking tape. Carefully remove the tape
in order not to damage the varnish.
Fine Fissures
