Nordpeis Me Ceiling Stove with DV Kit
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS!
- Please follow the installation manual when connecting your stove / fireplace to the chimney / flue pipe. If connected differently from instruction please, consider the heat radiation from the flue pipe to the surrounding materials.
- Before use, please carefully read the user manual and follow the instructions.
- Integrated or defined convection openings may never be reduced or partially obstructed. This may lead to overheating, which again can cause house fire or serious damage to the product.
- Use only designated fire starters. Never use gasoline, diesel or other liquids to start the fire. This may cause explosions!
- Never use other fuel than natural dry chopped wood. Briquettes, peat, coke, coal and waste from construction materials develops far higher temperatures and emissions than natural wood. Since your product has been designed for use with natural wood only, other fuels may damage the product, chimney and surrounding constructions.
- In case of damage to glass or door gasket, all use of the product must be discontinued until the damage has been repaired.
- Products connected to a vented steel chimney must never be operated with open or ajar door other than reloading of wood or shortly during kindling process. Failure to follow these precautions will leave your warranty void and expose people and property to danger.
Advise : Even if not required in your area, it is always wise to have a qualified stove / fireplace fitter do the installation, or at least the final inspection before use.
IMPORTANT : When lifting or handling the stove we strongly recommend that the stove remain in its pallet crib or lifted using the provided harness. Lifting in the door or applying pressure to the glass may result in permanent damage and will not be covered by the warranty!
Before installing a new stove
All our products are tested according to the latest European requirements and
also to the Norwegian standard NS 3058 and NS 3059, which include particle
tests. However, several European countries have local regulations for
installation of fireplaces, which change regularly. It is the responsibility
of the client that these regulations are complied with in the country/region
where the fireplace is installed. Nordpeis AS is not responsible for incorrect
installation.
Important to check:
- distance from firebox to combustible/flammable materials
- insulation materials/requirements between fireplace surround and back wall
- size of floor plates in front of fireplace if required
- flue connection between firebox and chimney
- insulation requirements if flue passes through a flammable wall
Chimney draught
Compared with older models, the clean burning stoves of today put
significantly higher demands on the chimney. Even the best stove 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. Recommended effective chimney height is minimum 4 meters with a
diameter of 150 – 200mm. The diameter of the chimney should never be less than
that of the flue/chimney collar. For draft requirements at nominal heat
output, see technical table.
The draught increases when:
- The chimney becomes warmer than the outside air
- The active length of the chimney over the hearth increases
- There is good air supply to the combustion
It can be difficult to obtain the right draught conditions in case the chimney is too large relative to the stove, as the chimney does not heat up well enough. In such cases you should contact professional for evaluation of possible measures. Draught that is too strong can be controlled with a damper. If necessary, contact a chimney sweeper.
Air supply
A set for fresh air supply is available as accessory. This will ensure that
the air supply to the combustion chamber is less affected by ventilation
systems, kitchen fans and other factors which can create a down-draught in the
room. In all new construction, we strongly recommend that it is designed and
prepared for direct supply of outside air. In older houses, the use of fresh
air supply set is also recommended. Insufficient air supply can cause down-
draught and thereby low combustion efficiency and the problems that this
entails: soot stains on the glass, inefficient use of the wood and a soot
deposits in the chimney.
Warning! Keep the air intakes, supplying combustion air, free from
blockage. If the requirements for ventilation are NOT complied with, the
product can overheat. This can cause a fire.
Warning! Extractor fans when operating in the same room or space as the
appliance may cause problem.
For your own safety, comply with the assembly instructions. All safety
distances are minimum distances. Installation of the stove must comply with
the current rules and regulations of the country where the product is
installed. Nordpeis AS is not responsible for wrongly assembled stoves. The
illustrations indicate the approximate centre height of the recess for the
flue. Consider possible inclination of the flue prior to perforating the
chimney. Distortions in floors and walls may also influence the height. Place
the stove for accurate height and positioning of the flue/chimney connection.

Technical information
The stoves from Nordpeis all have secondary combustion and are clean burning. The combustion takes place in two phases: first the wood burns and then the gases from the fumes are lit by the hot air. This ensures that these new stoves have minimal emissions of soot particles and un-burnt gases (such as CO) and are thus better for the environment. Clean burning stoves require a small amount of wood in order to obtain a good heat output. Use exclusively clean and dry wood. We recommend seasoned hardwood with a maximum moisture content of 20%.

Intermittent combustion refers to normal use of a fireplace, .ie. new wood is
inserted when the previous load has burned down to ember.
Warning : If the requirements for ventilation are NOT complied with, the
cooling airflow around the product will be considerably reduced and the
product can overheat. This can cause a fire.
Distance to combustible material
Ensure that the safety distances are respected (FIG 1A, 1B and 1C). When
connecting a steel chimney to the top outlet use the security distances
required from the manufacturer.
Assembly
Operating control
When the stove is in an upright position, and prior to connecting it, control
that all functions are easy to manoeuvre and appear satisfactory.
Connecting the flue
Please be aware when connecting the 150 mm flue to the smoke dome that the
flue is placed outside the flue outlet collar. *Alternative versions exsists
due to National requirements. For the flue connection to the chimney, follow
the recommendations from the chimney manufacturer. We recommend a maximum
chimney weight of 150 kg.
Lighting the fire for the first time
When the stove is assembled 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 stove is used. These will be resolved once the humidity has evaporated. It is advisable to ventilate the room well when firing for the first time as the varnish on the stove may release some smoke or smell. Both the smoke and smell will disappear and are not hazardous.
Lighting a fire
Insert small dry pieces of kindling wood,open the air vent control and ignite. When the flames are stable and the chimney is warm, the air supply is regulated with the air vent control. 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.
Using the stove 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 stove 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 when new wood logs are inserted into a hot burn chamber. Let the flames get established on the wood before the air supply is reduced. When the draught in the chimney is low and the vents are closed, the gas from the firewood can be ignited with a bang. This can cause damages to the product as well as the immediate environment.
Maintenance
Cleaning and inspection
The stove 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 stove 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 with the Thermotte plates when the ashes are removed,
particularly when using an ash shovel, so as not to damage them.
Thermotte™ insulating plates
The insulation plates (Thermotte – FIG 3b) are classified as “wear and tear”
parts which will require to be exchanged after some years. The wear time will
depend on the individual use of your product. Nordpeis offers a one-year
warranty on these parts. After this, replacements can be purchased. If new
plates are needed, contact your dealer:
A. Baffle plate
B. Back plate
C. Fire plate
D. Right bottom plate
E. Left bottom plate
F. Lateral plate right – w/o side glass ()
G. Lateral plate left – w/o side glass ()
Please note : Wood logs that are too long can cause strain and crack the plates, due to the tension created between the side plates.
Door and glass
Should there be any soot on the glass it may be necessary to clean it. Use
dedicated glass cleaner, as other detergents may damage the glass. (Attention!
Be careful, even dedicated glass cleaner can damage the varnish on the door
frame). A good advice for cleaning the glass is to use a damp cloth or kitchen
roll paper and apply some ash from the burn chamber. Rub around the ash on the
glass and finish off with a piece of clean and damp kitchen roll paper.
Attention! Only clean when the glass is cold. Check regularly that the
transition between the glass and the door is completely tight. Periodically,
it may be necessary to change the gaskets on the door to ensure that the burn
chamber is air tight and working optimally. These gaskets can be bought as a
set, usually including ceramic glue.
Packaging recycle
The packaging accompanying the product should be recycled according to
national regulations.
Warranty
Warning!
Use replacement parts recommended only by the Manufacturer.
Warning!
Any unauthorized modification of the appliance without written permission of
the Manufacturer are prohibited. For detailed description of the warranty
conditions see the enclosed warranty card or visit our website:

Advice on lighting a fire
The best way to light a fire is with the use of lightening briquettes and dry
kindling wood. Newspapers cause a lot of ash and the ink is damaging for the
environment. Advertising flyers, magazines, milk cartons and similar are not
suitable for lighting a fire. Good air supply is important at ignition.
Warning : In order to avoid injuries, please be aware that the surfaface
may become hot during operation and that extra care need to be taken to avoid
skin burn.
Warning : NEVER use a lighting fuel such as petrol, kerosene, alcohol or
similar for lighting a fire. This could cause injury to you as well as
damaging the product.
Use clean and dry wood with a maximum moisture content of 20%. Humid wood requires a lot of air for the combustion, as extra energy/heat is required for drying the humid wood and the heat effect is therefore minimal. This in addition creates soot in the chimney with the risk of creosote and chimney fire.
In case of a chimney fire, close the door and air supplies on the stove and call the Fire Brigade. After a chimney fire the chimney must in all cases be inspected by an authorized chimney sweeper before you use the appliance again.
Storing of wood
In order to ensure that the wood is dry, the tree should be cut in winter and
stored during the summer, covered and in a location with adequate ventilation.
The wood pile must never be covered by a tarpaulin lying on the ground as the
tarpaulin will then act as a sealed lid that will prevent the wood from
drying. Always keep a small amount of wood indoors for a few days before use
so that moisture in the surface of the wood can evaporate.
Usage
Not enough air to the combustion may cause the glass to soot. Hence, supply
the fire with air just after the wood is added, so that the flames and gases
in the combustion chamber are properly burnt. Open the air vent in order for
the flames to establish properly on the wood.
Note that the air supply for the combustion also can be too large and cause an uncontrollable fire that very quickly heats up the whole combustion chamber to an extremely high temperature (when using with a closed or nearly closed door). For this reason you should never fill the combustion chamber completely with wood.
Choice of fuel
All types of wood, such as birch, beech, oak, elm, ash and fruit trees, can be
used as fuel in the stove. Wood species have different degrees of density –
the more dense the wood is, the higher the energy value. Beech, oak and birch
has the highest density.
Attention! We do not recommend using fuel briquettes/ compact wood in our products. Use of such fuel may cause the product to overheat and exceed the temperatures determined safe. Burning briquettes/ compact wood is done so at your own risk and only small amounts (max 1/3 of normal load) should be used for each load.
Warning:
NEVER use impregnated wood, painted wood, plywood, chipboard, rubbish, milk
cartons, printed material or similar. If any of these items are used as fuel
the warranty is invalid. Common to these materials is that during combustion
they can form hydrochloric acid and heavy metals that are harmful to the
environment, yourself and the insert. Hydrochloric acid can also corrode the
steel in the chimney or masonry in a masonry chimney. Also, avoid burning with
bark, sawdust or other extremely fine wood, apart from when lighting a fire.
This form of fuel can easily cause a flashover that can lead to temperatures
that are too high.
Warning :
Make sure the insert is not overheated- it can cause irreparable damage to the
product. Such damage is not covered by the warranty. Source “Håndbok, effektiv

Some advice in case of combustion problems
Error | Explanation | Solution |
---|
No draught
| The chimney is blocked| ****
Contact a chimney sweeper / dealer for more information or clean
the flue, smoke baffle and burn chamber.
The flue is sooty or there is accumulated soot on the smoke baffle
The smoke baffle is wrongly positioned| Verify the assembly of the smoke
baffle – see assembly instructions.
The stove release smoke when lighting the fire and during combus- tion
| Downdraught in the room caused by no draught, that the
house is too “air tight”.
| Light the fire with an open window. If this helps, more/bigger vents
must be installed in the room.
Downdraught in the room – caused by extractor and/or central ventilation system that pulls too much air out of the room.| Turn off/regulate extractor and/or other ventilation. If this helps,
more vents must be installed.
The flues from two fireplaces/stoves are connected to
the same chimney at the same height.
| One flue must be repositioned. The height difference of the two flue
pipes must be of at least 30 cm.
The flue is in a declining position from the smoke dome
to the chimney.
| The flue must be moved so that there is an inclination of at least 10º from smoke dome to chimney. Possibly install a smoke suction device*.
The flue is too far into the chimney.
| The flue must be reconnected so that it does not enter into the chimney but
ends 5 mm before the chimney inner wall. Possibly install a smoke suction
device*.
Soot hatch in the basement or attic that is open and thus creating a false
draught.| Soot hatches must always be closed. Hatches that are not tight or
are defected must be changed.
Damper/top draught vents or doors on fireplaces that are
not in use are open and create a false draught.
| Close damper, doors and top draught vents on fireplaces that are
not in use.
An open hole in the chimney after that a fireplace has
been removed, thus creating a false draught.
| Holes must be completely sealed off with masonry.
Defect masonry in the chimney, e.g. it is not airtight around the flue pipe
entry and/or broken partition inside the chimney creating a false draught.|
Seal and plaster all cracks and sites that are not tight.
The cross-section in the chimney is too large which results in no or very low draught.| The chimney must be refitted, possibly install a smoke suction
device*.
The cross-section in the chimney is too small and the chimney cannot carry out all the smoke.| Change to a smaller fireplace or build new chimney with a larger
cross section. Possibly install a smoke suction device*.
The chimney is too low and hence a poor draught.| Increase the height of the
chimney and/or install a chimney cap/ smoke suction device*.
The stove releases smoke inside when
it is windy outside.
| The chimney is too low in relationship to the surrounding terrain,
buildings, trees etc.| Increase the height of the chimney and/or install a
chimney cap/ smoke suction device*.
Turbulence around the chimney due to the roof being
too flat.
| Increase the height of the chimney and/or install a chimney cap/ smoke
suction device*.
The stove does not heat suf- ficiently.| The combustion receives too
much oxygen due to a leakage under the lower border of the stove or too strong
chimney draught. Difficult to regulate the combustion and the wood burn up too
quickly.| Any possible leakage must be sealed off. A draught regulator or
possibly a damper can reduce the chimney draught. NB! A leakage of only 5 cm2
is enough for 30% of the heated air to disappear.
Too much draught
| The smoke buffer is wrongly positioned.| Verify the positioning of the
smoke buffer – see assembly instruc- tions.
In case of using oven-dried wood, this requires less air supply than when
using normal wood.| Turn down the air supply.
The gaskets around the door are worn and totally flat.| Replace the gaskets,
contact your dealer.
The chimney is too large.| Contact chimneysweeper or other professional for
more details.
The glass is sooty
| The wood is too wet.| Only use dry wood with a humidity of maximum 20%.
The air vent control is closed too tightly.
| Open the air vent control to add air to the combustion. When new wood logs are inserted all vent controls should be completely opened or the door slightly opened until the flames have a good take on the wood.
White glass
| Bad combustion (the temperature is too low)| Follow the guidelines in this user guide for correct combustion.
Using wrong material for combustion (such as: painted or impregnated wood, plastic laminate, plywood etc)
| ****
Ensure to use only dry and clean wood.
Smoke is relea- sed when the door is opened
| A levelling out of pressure occurs in the burn chamber.| Open the air vent control for about 1 min before opening the door
– avoid opening the door too quickly.
The door is opened when there is a fire in the burn
chamber.
| Open the door carefully and/or only when there is hot ember.
White smoke
| The combustion temperature is too low.| Increase the air supply.
The wood is humid and contains water damp.| Ensure to use only dry and clean
wood.
Black or grey/ black smoke| Insufficient combustion.| Increase the air
supply.
IMPORTANT : Included in the installation kit are 4 x Ø8×120 wood screws.
These are only intended for use in solid wood beams. Follow the instructions
below on how to insert cross-beams between the original beams in order to
create a safe construction. If your ceiling construction is made from other
material we strongly suggest to use protruding M8 bolts or threaded bars with
appropriate washers on top. We recommend a maximum chimney weight of 150 kg.
ATTENTION : Always follow the chimney manufacturer’s instructions and
safety distances!
FIG 1 Me Ceiling – Stove Ceiling = mm / air / chimney
FIG 1A Me Ceiling – Stove – safety distances
FIG 1B: Me Ceiling – Stove with sideglass – safety distances
FIG 1C: Me Ceiling – Stove w/o sideglass – safety distances
FIG 2: ME with sideglass Thermotte plates disassembling
FIG 3: ME w/o sideglass Demontering av Thermotteplater / Demontering av thermotte-plattor Thermotte plates disassembling / Thermotte-levyjen irrotus
To re-install the thermotte plates reverse the order they were removed.
The air vent control is turned to the right to increase the air supply. The
vent is working in two modes.
A. Turn the vent all the way to the right for ignition mode.
B. Turning the vent gradually left will decrease the ignition air untill
a click can be noticed. This indicates that the ignition air is now cut off
and the stove is in normal operational mode. Further turning the vent to the
left will gradually decrease the combustion air in the operational mode.
Example on how to fit the cross-beams (FIG 2): For sufficient strength and stability we strongly recommend to use minimum 2×6” lumber. As the cross-beams are supporting the entire weight and stability of the stove and the chimney, it is very important that they are securely fixed to the original beams.
Make sure the bolts are placed in the middle of the prolonged bean-shaped holes in the ceiling collar. This will allow you to adjust the angle of the stove with 15 degrees in each direction after the ceiling collar has been fastend to the ceiling.
The supplied bolts are only intended for solid wooden beams measuring at least 150mm in height and 50mm in width.Pre-drill Ø6mm holes before applying the supplied bolts and capping them at the end with the supplied plastic caps.
