IMPORTANT
INSTALLATION PREPARATION
Inspect and Clean Existing Chimney
Verify existing chimney is constructed of non-combustible material.
Verify existing chimney is clean and in good working order. Clean existing chimney and fireplace to prevent a creosote odor
from entering the home.
Verify combustible mantel and sidewall clearances comply with the Safety Barrier Installation section of this manual.
The refractory, glass doors, screen rails, screen mesh, and log grates may be removed from existing fireplace before installing
this gas fireplace insert.
Flue Damper
The appliance flue damper can be fully blocked open, or removed for installation of this gas fireplace insert. Remove existing
chimney cap.
Gas Line
A gas line must be able to be installed to the insert (see the Gas Line Connection section of this manual).
If the factory-built fireplace has no gas access hole(s) provided, an access hole of 1-1/2 in. (37.5 mm) or less may be drilled
through the lower sides or bottom of the firebox in a proper workmanship like manner. The access hole must be plugged with
non-combustible insulation after the gas supply line has been installed.
Run gas line to the gas fireplace insert through the gas line hole provided. Do not run gas line in a manner that would obstruct
fan operation.
If the gas fireplace insert is to be installed into minimum opening dimensions, the gas line may need to be run after appliance
placement due to space limitations.
Electrical Wiring
Provisions must be made to provide electrical power for appliance operation.
Refer to the Appliance Dimensions section of this manual for electrical outlet box location to run any necessary electrical
wiring to the gas fireplace insert.
