Fireplace Insert Assembly
Before your new fireplace insert will be ready to exude warmth and a cosy
atmosphere, you should read these lines thoroughly, reviewing the requirements
for the assembly and the environment. Also, reference is made to all local
regulations, including those referring to national and European standards, to be
met in the installation of your fireplace insert.
The hole size required for assembly appears from the leaflet material as well as
the line drawings on the last page of these instructions.

The potential for the building-in of fireplace inserts is vast; they may be built
into the wall, on the outside of the wall, and may be suspended on the wall.
Building-in shall take place in connection with non-inflammable materials only.
Virtually all installations are designed individually, and in all cases the distance
to inflammable matter must meet the values stated below.
The Base
The base must, of course, be firm and have adequate load-bearing capacity.
This will usually pose no problem when assembling in an open fireplace.
In case of an inflammable floor, the height of the foundation for the insert must
be minimum 300mm.

Distance to inflammable material
When the fireplace insert is mounted in an existing brick fireplace, the
requirements for distance to inflammable material and fireproofing on the floor
will usually be in order.
If it is a matter of a new building, reference is made to any local regulations on
fireproofing etc. You may contact your chimney sweeper for clarification of
any issues of doubt.

For H570, the above distances to inflammable material shall apply, as
measured from the cabinet.
For H470, the distance behind the fireplace insert is 350mm. The distances
to the side and below are the same.
For furniture, a distance of 1.1 metres is recommended.
Distance to non-inflammable material
For non-inflammable material, no requirements apply.
The Chimney
A good chimney draught is essential for how well a fireplace insert will burn.
Note that there should be access to cleaning doors.
The working height of the chimney should typically range between 3.5 and 4.5
metres. Working height shall be understood as the distance from the fireplace
insert top to the top of the chimney.
