The HWAM I 30/55 consists of a moveable, external brickwork casing, as well as an insert that is pushed 
into place and connected once the brickwork casing has been assembled.

The HWAM I 30/55 can be connected in two ways:

1. Mounting and connecting in an existing fireplace.
2. New construction around the insert, possibly including heat ducts to other rooms.

1. Mounting and connecting in an existing fireplace (Drawing A1-A3).

Before mounting the insert in a brick-built fireplace, the regulating damper in the existing chimney must 
be removed and the smoke neck, if any, should be widened so that the fire tube from the insert can be 
connected directly to the chimney. Any bricks positioned on edge at the bottom of the fireplace should 
also be removed.

In advance, decide with a specialist or the chimney sweep where a soot door 

(1)

 should be placed, so 

that the fire tube can be cleaned from above while the door of the insert remains closed.

Mounting the smoke pipe (Drawing A1)

First mount the joining flange 

(2)

 with a suitable length of fire tubing or flexible tubing 

(3)

. Push the 

inner pipe into the connector. The inner pipe must be turned so that the handle goes as far as possible 
into the connector.
Trim approximately 3 fireproof batts of 50 mm each 

(4)

 so that they fit tightly into the chimney space 

and cut a hole in the centre to fit tightly around the tube.

Place the fire tube in the chimney so that the joining flange corresponds to the given measurements. 
a. Distance from front edge of the brick hole, if the insert must be flush with the brickwork.
b. Height over the bottom of the insert.

Now push the three batts up around the fire tube and press them up into the chimney thereby achieving 
a compact and tight-fitting seal.

Installing the outer casing (Drawing A2)

If you would like to mount hoses in order to distribute a portion of the convection heat to other rooms, 
push the two plates on each side of the smoke outlet hole on the casing outwards 

(see drawing H)

.

Push the outer casing 

(6)

 into place at the bottom of the fireplace. Carefully ensure that the outer casing 

is level and that its front edge is flush with the brickwork. The three adjustment screws in the bottom of 
the casing can be used for fine adjustment so that the casing is completely level 

(drawing F). 

Screw the 

connector to the building-in cassette with the help of the self-tapping screws supplied.

If the gap between the fireplace aperture and the outer casing is to be closed with brickwork, there must 
be a minimum distance of 5 mm around the outer casing The brickwork above the outer casing must 
therefore be self-supporting. Attach the casing to the masonry with 1-3 screws in the base.
