1. Prior to assembling the insert
Our surrounds are all made of non-combustible
materials. All our inserts/stoves are tested according
to the latest European requirements and also to the
Norwegian SINTEF standard, which includes particle
tests. Several European countries however have
individual rules for installation of inserts, stoves and
fi replaces.
The client is entirely responsible for the fulfi lling of
these local rules concerning the installation in his
region/country. Nordpeis (Northstar) is not responsible
regarding correct installation. You should check local
regulations concerning: distance from fi rebox to
combustible/fl ammable materials, insulation materials/
requirements between fi replace surround and back
wall, size of fl oor plates in front of fi replace/stove if
required, fl uepipe connection between fi rebox and
chimney and insulation requirements if fl uepipe goes
through infl ammable wall such as a wooden wall.
For your own safety, comply with the user
manual. All safety distances are minimum
distances. Installation of the insert must
comply with the rules and regulations of the
country where installed. Nordpeis AS is not
responsible for wrongly assembled inserts.
Chimney Draught
Compared with older models, the clean burning
inserts of today put signifi cantly higher demands
on the chimney. Even the best insert 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 fl ue/
chimney collar. At nominal effect there should be a
negative pressure of 14 to 25 Pascal.
The draught increases when:
The chimney becomes warmer than the outside air•
The active length of the chimney is increased (over •
the hearth)
Good air supply to the combustion•
It can be diffi cult to obtain the right draught conditions
in case the chimney is too large in relationship to
the fi replace, as the chimney does not heat up well
enough. If possible, insert a smaller chimney pipe.
Draught that is too strong can also be controlled with
a damper.
Air Supply
A set for fresh air supply is available as an accessory,
and will ensure that ventilation systems, kitchen fans
and other factors that can create a downdraught in the
room of the fi replace affect less the air supply to the
insert. Insuffi cient air supply can cause downdraught
and thereby low combustion effi ciency and the
problems that this entails: soot stains on the glass,
ineffi cient use of the wood and a soot deposits in the
chimney.
