Maintenance - Nordpeis S-26R User Manual

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
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 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 shovel, so as
not to damage them.
Thermotte™ (FIG 12)
These insulating plates 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.
In case the plates need to be replaced, lift the smoke
baffle (A) in order to remove the side plates.
A. Smoke baffle
B. Left side plate - front
C. Left side plate - back
D. Right side plate - front
E. Right side plate - back
F. Back plate
G. Log-stopper
H. Left bottom plate
I. Right bottom plate
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.

Please also note that the Thermotte plates may
release coloured dust when touched. Avoid touching
any cast iron parts with dust on your fingers. Any
visible dust on cast iron can be brushed off with the
glove that is included.
Door and Glass
Should there be any soot on the glass it may be
necessary to clean it.
as other detergents may damage the glass. (NB! Be
careful, even dedicated glass cleaner can damage the
varnish on the door frame).
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.
Check regularly that the transition between the glass
and the door is completely tight. Possibly tighten the
screws that hold the glass in place - but not too hard,
as this can cause the glass to crack.
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 the ceramic glass
Ceramic glass cannot be recycled. Old glass, bre-
akage 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 impor-
tant 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.
