Distance To Combustible Material; Assembly; Connection Of The Flue; Operational Control - Nordpeis S-31A User Manual

3. Distance to combustible material

Firewall
Ensure that the safety distances are respected (FIG 2).
When connecting a steel chimney to the top outlet use
the security distances required from the manufacturer.
Floorplate
Please follow the rules and regulations regarding
floorplates in your country
Important! When placing the insert on a
combustible floor, a steel plate of at least 0.7mm
must cover the entire floor surface inside the
surround. Any flooring made of combustible
material, such as linoleum, carpets etc. must be
removed from underneath the steel plate.
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.

4. Assembly

Check the packing list to ensure that all loose parts
are included.
The door is opened by pulling the handle out FIG 4.
Assembly and adjusting the legs FIG 5
The insert is delivered with adjustable legs. These can
be mounted on the insert using the added washers and
bolts FIG 5.
Carefully lay the insert on its back. Ensure that the
transportation padding is put inside the insert before
turning it over, so that the insulating plates in the burn
chamber do not fall down and break.
Fasten the screws on to the insert with a 13 mm
spanner/wrench.
Adjust the legs (FIG 5) to the desired height before
returning the insert to an upright position (do not tilt
the insert). The height varies according to the
surround.
FIG 6
The amount of air to the combustion is regulated with
the air vent control.
FIG 7
The insert is delivered prepared for top connection. If
the insert is to be connected at the back, the flue outlet
collar must be placed according to FIG 8
4
FIG 8
Remove the cutout at the back of the radiation shield
(A). Remove the flue outlet cover and smoke outlet
collar (B). Mount the flue outlet collar on the back outlet
and fit the flue outlet cover over the top outlet (C). The
insert can now be connected at the back.
FIG 9 Removal of the self closing door mechanism
A. Open the door and tighten the set screw using a
3mm Allen Key.
B. Carefully push the door upwards
Loosen the set screw with the Allen key.
C. The door can now be lowered back into place.
Attention! In some countries removing the self
closing mechanism is not allowed. Make sure you
follow the local rules and regulations regarding self
closing doors.

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. *Alternative versions exsists due to
National requirements.
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.

Painting the Surround

It is recommended to use the insert a few times in
order to let the varnish harden before any 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 Thermotte 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.
