FIGURE 3
Line the chimney with a 3" or 4" diameter approved liner. With
a 4" liner, an increaser must be connected between the dilution
draft hood and the liner. Chimney installation must conform to
both national and local code requirements. The liner must be
continuous from the fi replace to the chimney cap.
Remove the securing screw from the front of the dilution plate.
Push the dilution draft hood out of the securing clips and at-
tach the liner using 3 screws equally spaced. Pack insulation
around the liner at the damper area to prevent air fl ow from
entering the chimney. Move the insert into the centre of the
woodburning fi replace making sure that the dilution draft hood
inserts back into its securing clips. Level using the four leveling
screws located front and back on either side of the fi replace
base. Leveling the insert will eliminate rocking or excessive
noise when the fan is in operation. Replace the securing screw
to the front of the dilution plate.
Install rigid black pipe, a fl ex connector,
if local codes permit
,
or 1/2" type L, copper tubing with a 3/8" to 1/2" adapter and a
shut off valve to the fi replace. Seal and tighten securely. The
adapter will be required between the gas valve and the cop-
per tubing or fl ex connector.
Do not kink fl exible connector!
Check for gas leaks by brushing on a soap and water solution.
Do not use open fl ame!
INSTALLATION
FIGURE 1
Clean out ashes from the inside of the wood-burning fi replace.
Make sure that the chimney and wood-burning fi replace
are in a clean and sound condition and constructed of non-
combustible materials. If necessary have any repair work done
by a qualifi ed person before installing the insert. Remove the
existing fi replace damper or lock into an open position.
Using screws, attach the fi replace warning tag (W385-0199)
to the inside of the fi rebox of the fi replace into which the insert
is being installed.
The sheet-metal parts of the fi replace, in which the gas
fi replace insert is to be installed, must not be cut.
If the wood-burning factory-built fi replace has no gas ac-
cess hole(s) provided, an access hole of 1½ inch or less
may be drilled through the lower sides or bottom of the
fi replace in a proper workman like manner. This access
hole must be plugged with non-combustible insulation
after the gas supply line has been installed.
Ensure that existing chimney cleanouts fi t properly.
The refractory, glass doors, screen rails, screen mesh
and log grates may be removed from the fi replace before
installing the gas fi replace insert.
Smoke shelves, shields and baffl es may be removed if
attached by mechanical fasteners.
The ventilation openings in the fi replace may be obstruct-
ed by the backer plates, aluminium trim etc. but these
parts are not to be applied so as to have an airtight seal.
