Cleaning the Smoke Duct System
When the fireplace is used every day throughout the
heating season, we recommend that the smoke duct
system is swept once yearly. This is to maintain the
draught and efficiency. Soot isolate the ducts and
thus lower the efficiency. One can also notice that the
draught is reduced and that the flames are difficult
to control with the air vent function. Remember that
the fireplace must always be cold before it is swept /
inspected.
The inspection shall be performed by the Professional
servicemen.
Ash and Ash-pan
The ash-pan consists of an inner part which is used for
the regular emptying of ashes. The duct system can
be reached when the outer part of the ash-pan also is
removed.
In order to clean the ducts, remove the Thermotte
baffle plate and the two Thermotte side / back plates.
Remove the two revision covers in the Powerstone and
then insert the cleaning brush both up- and downwards.
The soot will collect in the bottom and can be removed
with an ash-cleaner by removing the ash grate and the
ash-boxes. The flue pipe can be swept by removing the
revision covers on top of the stove.
By rear or lateral connection the flue can be swept by
removing the smoke baffle and then opening the bypass
damper.
The ashes must be emptied periodically. Please note
that the ash may contain hot embers even several days
after the fire has ceased. Use a container of
non-combustible material to remove the ashes.
Weight
The home owner must ensure that the floor can
withstand the load of the total weight of the product.
Firewall
Freestanding fireplaces can be installed without a
firewall. Observe all safety distances to combustible
materials.
Connection to Chimney
Follow specifications from the chimney manufacturer
for connection to the chimney. Dry stack the fireplace
for accurate height and positioning of the flue/chimney
connection.
The product is not compatible with top connected
concrete chimney.
Maximum weight of steel chimney (top connection)
is 300kg.
By top connection to steel chimney, we refer to the
respective manufacturer's installation instructions.
Requirements for Floor Plate by Combustible Floor
Follow the requirements for floor plate (stone, steel,
etc.) that apply in the country that the product is
installed in.
Glue
The outer elements should be glued with the acrylic
which is included. Make sure that all the surfaces that
are to be glued are free of dust. The surfaces can be
cleaned for better adhesion. Ensure that the surfaces
are dry before spreading on the acrylic. Once the
fireplace is assembled, fill the joints with acrylic and
even it out with a sponge or finger and some soapy
water, in order to have a clear indentation between the
elements (FIG Z).
Minor Dents
Transportation and handling can cause minor dents to
the product. This can be repaired with the powder glue
which is included. For a perfect result you can fill and
grind with a suitable filler on top of the powder glue.
Fill smaller cracks and uneven surfaces with a float or
a brush. If the dent is deep, it is recommended to fill in
several stages to avoid sinking. Even out with e.g. a
damp sponge or a float.
Painting
The surface of the chimney surround is developed to be
painted without priming work. Use latex or acrylic based
paint (emulsion paint), or cement-based textured paint.
In the unlikely case that there are some irregularities in
the surface, these can be filled with the acrylic which is
included, or a light and appropriate filling material. Any
surface that has been filled needs to be smoothened
with fine sand paper.
Polishing
If a more traditional and polished surface is wished for,
it is recommended to dampen the surround and then
cover it with tile adhesive (powder glue) and a fibreglass
mesh, prior to possibly adding mortar or mineral polish.
Tiles
This fireplace can also be partially or completely
covered with tiles / natural stone of your choice. As for
the section above on "Polishing", we recommend that
the chimney surround is dampened before it is covered
with tile adhesive (powder glue) and a fiberglass mesh.
This is to ensure good adhesion and prevent the
formation of cracks at the joints of the surround.
Please note that the adhesive and mortar must
set before burning in the fireplace. Follow the
instructions from the mortar/adhesive producers.
Regardless of surface treatment it is advantageous to
mask the entire door frame to avoid having to clean it
later.
Please note that the air gap between the surround
and the door frame must not be filled with glue,
mortar or similar.
