INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS cont.
GENERAL ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Carefully remove and inspect the insert parts from the shipping packages. Ensure there is no freight damage and you
have all the parts required.
2. Remove the 4 bolts in the back of the shield box, remove the 5 #10 screws from the top of the shield box and slide the
shield box off of the fi rebox.
3. Place the outer shield box (
Fig. 6
) into your fi replace opening and ensure that the bottom of the box is level with or
slightly higher than your hearth. Use only non-combustible material to fi ll any space under the shield box. Exact
placement of the shield box is determined by the overall shape of your fi replace and will be established in the next steps
4. IF YOU HAVE PURCHASED THE OPTIONAL GOLD TRIM KIT INSTALL THE TRIM BEFORE PROCEEDING
TO THE NEXT STEP. PROCEED TO “OPTIONAL ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS” ON THE NEXT PAGE.
5. Th
e shroud (
Fig. 8
) is shipped with the side extensions removed, they must be assembled on the shroud at this time.
To attach the side extensions place the short side of the “L” shaped extension against the back of the shroud and attach
with 3 screws (see
Fig. 5
for correct placement of side extensions). Slide the shroud (
Fig. 8
) complete with the side
extensions (
Fig. 4
) into the shield box. Th
e side extensions (
Fig. 4
) and the inside fl ange on the shroud, must slide
inside the shield box.
6. Slide the assembly in until the shroud (
Fig. 8
) is against the front face of the fi replace. Th
e shield box is adjustable to fi t
most fi replaces and fl ues. When the shield box is in the best location proceed to the next step.
7. When you are sure of the correct placement, secure the side extensions to the shield box using 3 sheet metal screws
through the pre punched holes in the shield box. Note: you will have to pre-drill 1/8” holes in the side extensions using
the shield box holes as templates.
8. While you have the shroud in place measure carefully to ensure you have adequate minimum clearances to all
combustible material. Clearances to combustibles are listed on the appliance label.
9. Disassemble the shroud (
Fig. 8
) from the side extensions (
Fig. 6
) and carefully set the shroud aside. Th
e shield box is
now sitting at its fi nal position and the side extensions are fi rmly attached to the shield box.
10. Remove the shield box assembly, (which now has the side extensions (
Fig. 4
) attached to it), from the fi replace
opening. Leave the side extensions (
Fig. 4
) securely attached to the shield box (
Fig. 6
) in the correct position as
established in step 7.
11. Slide the fi rebox (
Fig. 7
) into the shield box (
Fig. 6
) and attach it to the fi rebox using 4 bolts and washers through the
back of the shield box. It may be necessary to remove the shield box top to allow the fi rebox fl ue collar to slide into the
shield box. Replace the shield box top when the fi rebox is in place inside the shield box.
12. Your insert comes without a fan. An electrical harness is provided for future installation. (Note: It is necessary to use
the grommets where the wire passes through the holes on each of the shroud parts to avoid damage to the wire.)
IF
YOU PURCHASED THE OPTIONAL FANS GO TO “OPTIONAL ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS” ON THE NEXT
PAGE BEFORE PROCEEDING TO INSTALL THE FANS.
13. If you have not purchased the optional fans you must now install the fan housing pieces (
Fig. 1
). Th
e housing attaches
with 2 screws top & bottom with the large round hole facing out.
14. Blaze King strongly recommends that you install a complete insulated stainless steel fl ue liner system. Th
is is the safest
installation and will ensure proper draft control for best burn conditions and consistency.
15. If you have the fl ue liner installed check to ensure it is the proper length etc. If you decide to use an adapter plate in the
throat of your existing fi replace you should install it at this time and install the connector pipe as required. You must
follow all local building and fi re codes regarding this installation. Proceed only aft er you have completed the required
work on the fl ue system.
16. Carefully slide the complete assembly (fi rebox mounted inside the shield box) into the fi replace opening at the same
position as previously determined. Th
e unit weighs approx. 300 lbs. and you will require help. Be careful not to
damage the wire running around the back of the box by allowing it to get pinched under the shield box as you slide the
assembly into the fi replace opening. You will need to protect the hearth so it does not get damaged when sliding the
unit in or out.
