HT requirements. If the chimney is not listed as meeting HT requirements, or if the factory built fireplace was tested
prior to 1998, a full height listed chimney liner must be installed from the appliance flue collar to the chimney top. The
liner must meet type HT requirements (2100
o
F) per UL 1777 (US). The liner must be securely attached to the insert flue
collar and the chimney top. To prevent air passge to the chimney cavity of the fireplace, seal either the damper area
around the chimney liner with high temperature sealant or the fireplace front with fiberglass batting.

of the insert

A permanent metal warning label must be attached to the back wall of
the fireplace opening stating the following: “This fireplace has been
altered to accommodate a fireplace insert and should be inspected by a qualified person prior to re ‐ use as a
conventional fireplace.” This label is available upon request.
Drafting Performance
This appliance relies upon natural draft to operate. External forces, such as wind, barometric pressure, topography, or
factors of the home (negative pressure from exhaust fans, chimneys, air infiltration, etc.), may adversely affect draft.
Breckwell cannot be responsible for external forces leading to less than optimal performance.
Leveling Bolt Installation
Two leveling bolts are included to level the insert if the fireplace has a stepped ‐ up hearth. To install, raise the rear of the
insert up and insert the leveling bolts into the holes in the rear corners of the insert. Adjust the bolts until they extend the
same height as the hearth steps up. After the insert is installed, fine ‐ tune the leveling bolts to level the insert (see the
illustration).
