Requirements for fireplace surround
Fireplace surrounds must be made of a non-inflammable material
Note that the entire back wall and, if any, side walls within the
surround must be covered with insulation/firewalls.
If the cowl is built up to the ceiling and the ceiling is of
inflammable material, extra panelling must be installed above
the top of the heating chamber and above the cowl's vents in
order to prevent the ceiling becoming hot. Use for example: Rock
wool, 100 mm thick, on a steel plate (min. 0.9 mm). See Fig. 2A.
Ensure there is adequate ventilation in the top of the cowl – e.g.
a gap under the ceiling.
NB: Remember that it must be possible to sweep and inspect
the installation.
3.3 Air supply (Fig. 2)
Air must flow between the insert and the brickwork, and it is
extremely important that there is an unimpeded air supply to
the air inlets.
The air inlet dimensions specified in the text are minimum
requirements.
Required air vent sizes (for air circulation):
Base: Minimum of 500 cm
2
Top:
Minimum of 750 cm
2
This is a safety measure to ensure that the build-up of heat inside
the surround does not become too great and that the output of
heat to the room is adequate.
If the house is poorly ventilated, the room must be fitted with
an additional supply of outside air, e.g. by means of a separate
duct under the fireplace, Fig. 2 C. The outside air duct should be
as straight as possible and must be made of a non-inflammable
material. It must be possible to close the ducts with a damper in
order to keep out cold air when the stove is not being used. We
recommend Jøtul's outside air damper, catalogue no. 10026690.
3.4 Ceiling
The fireplace can be fitted with the top edge of the hot air
opening of the surround at least 800 mm below a ceiling of
inflammable material. See Fig. 2. Ensure there is adequate
ventilation in the top of the cowl – e.g. a gap under the ceiling.
3.5 Chimney and flue pipe
• The fireplace can be connected to a chimney and flue pipe
approved for solid fuel fireplaces with flue gas temperatures
as specified in "2.0 Technical Data".
• The cross-section of the chimney must be at least that of the
flue pipe. Use "2.0 Technical Data" to calculate the correct
chimney cross-section.
• Several solid fuel stoves can be connected to the same chimney
system if the chimney cross section is adequate.
• Before a hole is made in the chimney, the fireplace should be
test-mounted in order to correctly mark the position of the
fireplace and the hole in the chimney. See Fig. 1 for minimum
dimensions.
• Make sure that the flue pipe rises all the way up to the chimney.
• Use a flue pipe bend with a sweep hatch to allow sweeping.
Please note that it is extremely important for connections to
have a degree of flexibility. This is to prevent any movement in
the installation leading to the formation of cracks.

free opening.
NB: A correct and airtight connection is extremely important for
the function of the product.
Weight must not be transferred from the fireplace structure to the
chimney. The fireplace structure must not hinder the chimney's
ability to move, and must not be anchored to the chimney.
For recommended chimney draught, see "2.0 Technical Data". If
the draught is too strong, a flue pipe damper can be installed
and used to reduce the draught.
3.6 Preparation/installation
NB: Check that the fireplace is undamaged before installation
begins.
The product is heavy! Ensure you have help when positioning
and installing it.
Attaching the legs and securing the base
heat shield (Fig. 3)
1. Unpack the insert. Take out the box with contents and, if
necessary, burn plates to make the product lighter. Close the door.
2. To make the installation easier, the entire front, including the
door, air chamber and exhaust deflector, can be removed. See
section "4.0 Service".
3. Lay the insert carefully down on its back (you can protect the
floor with the wooden pallet and cardboard packaging).
4. Assemble the 3 legs (A) with the 3 adjustable joints (C) using
the 3 screws and nuts that are in a bag in the box. Then attach
these to the insert using the three (3) M6 x 25 mm countersunk
screws (B) and washers. The screws and washers are already
attached to the base of the insert. Turn the adjustable joints
to obtain the required height.
5. Assemble the heat shield (Fig. 3H) under the base of the insert
using one (1) M6 nut and a washer.
6. Stand the burn chamber up.
7. Make final adjustments to the legs once the insert has been
test-mounted. The bracket (D) should be placed under the
screw heads to protect the surface and to prevent the insert
from slipping out of place. Make final adjustments using the
M10 x 45 mm screws attached to the joints.
8. Refit all the parts that were removed for easier handling of
the insert.
Log retainer (Fig. 5)
Mount the log retainer onto the knobs on the rear of the front
frame.
Assembling the smoke outlet (Fig. 6)
1. Position the smoke outlet (A), which is packed in the box, on
the top of the insert so that the screw attached to it is facing
forwards.
2. Place a clamping iron (B) on each side and attach with a
M8 x 30 mm screw (C) and nut.
