1. Prior to assembling the stove
10
All our products are tested according to the latest
10
European requirements and also to the Norwegian
10
standard NS 3058 and NS 3059, which include
particle tests. However, several European countries
11
have local regulations for installation of fireplaces,
11
which change regularly. It is the responsibility
11 of the client that these regulations are complied
11 with in the country/region where the fireplace is
11 installed. Nordpeis AS is not responsible for incorrect
installation.

Important to check
12
(please note that this list is not exhaustive):
12
• distance from firebox to combustible/flammable
12
materials
12
• insulation materials/requirements between
fireplace surround and back wall
13
• size of floor plates in front of fireplace if required
13
• flue connection between firebox and chimney
• insulation requirements if flue passes through a
flammable wall

Chimney Draught
Compared with older models, the clean burning stoves
of today put significantly higher demands on the
chimney. Even the best stove will not work properly
if the chimney does not have the right dimensions or
is not in good working order. The draught is mainly
controlled by gas temperature, outside temperature,
air supply as well as the height and inner diameter
of the chimney. The diameter of the chimney should
never be less than that of the flue/chimney collar. At
nominal effect there should be a negative pressure of
12 to 25 Pascal.
The draught increases when:
•
The chimney becomes warmer than the outside air
• The active length of the chimney over the hearth
increases
• Good air supply to the combustion
It can be difficult to obtain the right draught conditions
in case the chimney is too large relative to the stove,
as the chimney does not heat up well enough. In
such cases you may want to contact professional for
evaluation of possible measures. Draught that is too
strong can be controlled with a damper. If necessary,
contact a chimney sweeper.
Dimensional drawing
The illustrations indicate the approximate centre
height of the recess for the flue. Consider possible
inclination of the flue prior to perforating the chimney.
Distortions in floors and walls may also influence
the height. Place the stove for accurate height and
positioning of the flue/chimney connection.
For your own safety, comply with the assembly instructions.
All safety distances are minimum distances. Installation
of the stove must comply with the current rules and
