The present invention proposes a gap-filler insert (20) for use with cooling plates (12, 12′) for a metallurgical furnace, the cooling plates (12, 12′) having a front face (14, 14′) directed towards the interior of the furnace, an opposite rear face (16, 16′) directed towards a furnace wall (10) of the furnace and four edge faces (18, 18′). In accordance with an aspect of the present invention, the gap-filler insert (20) comprises a metal front plate (24) with a front side (24) facing the interior of the furnace and anchoring means (28, 28′, 30, 30′, 32, 34) for mounting the front plate (24) between two neighboring cooling plates (12, 12′) in such a way that the front plate (24) extends between the edge faces (18, 18′) of both cooling plates (12, 12′), and that the front side (26) of the front plate (24) is flush with the front faces (14, 14′) of both cooling plates (12, 12′).
