the glass). Place the Thermotte as show in the
illustrations.
Powerstone assembly
Powerstone is an accessory. For assebling see a
separate instruction.
Flue collar and connection
Attention! Our inserts are prepared for
connecting the smoke pipe on the outside of the
flue collar Ø150. The collar can be adjusted
sideways or rotated FIG 4B.
*Alternative versions of the flue collar exsist due to
National requirements. For the connection to the
chimney, follow the recommendations from the chimney
manufacturer
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 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 installed and all instructions have
been observed, a fire can be lit.
Take care when inserting logs into the burn chamber,
in order not to damage the Thermotte plates. Please
note that there might be some humidity in the insulation
plates which can result in a slower burn rate the first few
times the insert is used. This will be resolved once the
humidity has evaporated. It is advisable to ventilate
the room well when using for the first time as the
varnish on the product may release some smoke or
smell. Both the smoke and smell will disappear and are
not hazardous.
! Close the insert door during usage
See separate usage and maintenance manual
Warning!
In order to avoid injuries, please be aware that the
surfaface may become hot during operation.be hot and
that extra care need to be taken to avoid skin burn.
Lighting a fire
Kindling wood
Finely chopped (diameter of 3-5cm)
Length: 25-30cm
Ca. amount pr lighting : 2 kg
20
Place the air vent control in ignition mode (B). Insert
small, dry pieces of wood, ignite and ensure the flames
have taken proper hold of the wood. When the flames
are stable and the chimney is warm, pull the air control
out of the ignition mode and regulate the fire normally (A).
Never leave the air control in ignition mode for pro-
longed periods as this may lead to overheating.
When there is a glowing layer of ash, new wood logs
can be inserted. Pull the hot ember to the front of the
combustion chamber when inserting new logs so that
the wood is ignited from the front. The fire should burn
with bright and lively flames.
Reload size
Chopped wood (diametre of 6-9cm)
Length: 25-50cm
Normal load size. 2,11 kg /h
(Max load size: 3,88 kg/h)
Using the insert with low combustion effect and firing
around the clock increase pollution as well as the risk
for a fire in the chimney. Never allow the insert or flue
to become glowing red. Turn off the air vent control
should this happen. Regulation of the air vent control
takes some experience, but after a little while a natural
rhythm for the fire will be found.
IMPORTANT! Always remember to open the air
vent control 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
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
