Installing the Insert Into the fireplace

The Clarity Fireplace Insert has an integrated draft 

hood. Therefore, a separate draft hood  is not re-

quired. 

Some fireplace openings may be large enough to 

connect the draft hood to the venting 

after 

the unit 

has been moved to its final position. Some openings 

will be too small and will require that the draft hood 

first  be connected to the venting, and then guided 

into position on the top of the insert as the unit is 

pushed back into the fireplace.

Particularly in installations with tight clearances, 

the procedure will be most easily accomplished if the 

trim and wing panels are installed as the last step. 

Follow these steps:

1. Connect the Clarity Insert's detachable draft 

hood to the end of the venting by sliding it inside the 

venting, then secure it with three sheet metal screws. 

 The right side trim panel installs in the same fash-

ion as the left, but the wiring (Two Amp Mate-N-

Lok connectors) that serves the On-Off switch at the 

top of the panel and the blower speed control switch 

on the bottom must be connected first.  

Move the right panel close enough to make the 

connection. Align the three wire male connector 

with the latch to the bottom. Push into the three 

wire female connector on the stove until it clicks. 

Do the same with the two wire connector with the 

latch turned to the top. Move panel into place while 

routing the switch wires into the opening of the wing 

bracket. Secure the panel. 

8. Install the top wing cover, which is also held in 

place by the magnets.

9. Install the gold wing trim by sliding the side 

pieces down from the top over each clip, one at a 

time.

Install the top wing panel last using two 1/4-0 fas-

teners. The mounting holes are near the inside edge 

of the side wing panels. Before tightening, make sure 

the outer edges of the top panel align with the edge 

of the side panels. Brass edge trim is added as the 

last step of installing the wing panels.

7. Mount the side trim panel, each is held in place 

by two magnets. Install the left side trim panel first 

by placing the bottom close to where it goes, then 

align the top and move it close to the insert body 

until it is held snugly by the two magnets.

. Line up the two draft hood guides with the 

fourth heat exchanger tube from each side, as shown 

above.

3. With assistance, push the insert back into the 

fireplace, while at the same time guiding the draft 

hood into position. Continue until both guides are 

far enough forward that  the retainer clamps and nuts 

can be installed on the threaded guide bolts.

4. Tighten the nuts to secure the draft hood.

5. Adjust the rear levelling bolts until the unit is 

level.

6. Install the wing panels; they attach to brackets 

on each side of the Clarity. Install the side wing pan-

els first, using two 1/4-20 fasteners for each panel. 

Their mounting locations are near the top and bottom 

of the panel.
