• Carefully clean the fireplace and flue before installing the stove. Failure to do so may result in fumes
or soot being blown into the room and may cause a fire leading to death or serious injury.
1. Remove the unit from the box and remove all packaging material from the appliance.

3. Remove log and ember set and all wrapping material from the stove. Remove wrapping material from
log and embers and check for any damage. If damage is observed, do not use unit and contact your
local dealer.
4. Check that the chimney clean outs fit properly. The flue damper must be fully blocked open or removed
for installation of the E30GI; the smoke shelves, shields and baffles may be removed if attached by
mechanical fasteners.
5. If the fireplace opening is lower than 24” (610 mm), remove the vent collar plate from the top of the
insert by unscrewing the single T-20 Torx screw located on the center top of the stove above the door
opening (see Figure 27). Slide the collar plate backwards. Properly secure the vent collar plate to the
flexible vent pipe liner(s) previously installed in the chimney. Be careful not to over-stretch the liner(s).
6. Place the unit part way into the fireplace. Connect the gas line to the ⅜” NPT pipe nipple at the lower
left rear of the unit using locally approved methods (see

Place the electric cable so it can be connected to the power supply.
7. As you push the unit into its final position in the fireplace, if the vent collar plate was removed, reinstall
it to the stove by sliding it along the top of the unit and secure with the screw previously removed.
8. Adjust the levelling legs to ensure the unit is level and high enough if a base shelf and/or riser is to be
installed. There are four levelling legs on the bottom of the unit (shown in Figure 28).
