Installation into a Masonry Fireplace:
Multiple installation methods may be available in your
area. Check with local building of
fi
cials for any permits
required for installation of this unit and notify your
insurance company before proceeding with installation.
Breckwell recommends the use of a full liner where a stainless steel
rigid or
fl
exible liner pipe is routed from the insert outlet collar to
the top of the chimney.
1. Clean
the
fi
replace opening properly disposing of any ashes in
a closed metal container. See Safety Instructions.
2. Install a 6
˝
(152mm) minimum diameter, continuous stainless
steel chimney liner into the existing chimney. The liner must
extend to the top of the existing chimney. Use only listed
chimney liners that meet UL1777 standards. Follow liner
manufacturer installation instructions.
3. Remove or lock the
fi
replace damper in the open position. Note:
Masonry or damper plate may be removed to accommodate the
chimney liner provided this does not weaken any structural
components of the existing
fi
replace or chimney nor reduces
protection of combustible materials required by national
building codes. Consult with your local building or
fi
re authority
before doing this.
4. Uncrate the appliance. Remove all packing materials, and
any items stored in the
fi
rebox.
5. WARNING:
Any
fi
replace which has had parts removed or
modi
fi
ed to accommodate the installation of this appliance
MUST have a warning plate permanently installed in a
visible location stating that the
fi
replace is un
fi
t for use with
solid fuel. Permanently attach the warning plate to a visible
location in the
fi
replace.
6. Position the appliance into the
fi
replace opening.
7. If necessary, 1/4-20 leveling bolts can be inserted into the
base and used as levelers for uneven
fi
replaces.
8. Connect the chimney liner to the appliance using a stainless
steel adapter and securing with a minimum of three (3) sheet
metal screws. The liner MUST be attached with the male
(or crimped) end of the adapter inside the
fl
ue collar of the
appliance to allow condensation and/or creosote to drain
back into the
fi
rebox.
9. Assemble the Surround. Lay pieces face down on carpet
or other soft surface to protect
fi
nish during assembly. The
Surround consists of two side panels, a top panel, and a
decorative trim frame.
