Venting
Preliminary steps to prepare for the installation of the
CARINA Fireplace Insert
Remove the chimney cap if one exists so that the flue may be
cleaned and the venting installed.
Remove any existing hearth accessories such as glass doors,
spark screens, andirons and grates.
Clean the chimney thoroughly to remove ash, soot, and any
obstructions, and then clean ash, soot, dust and debris from the
fireplace.
Chimney cleanouts must fit properly
The damper must be locked open to allow the 2 x 3” venting to
pass through. If it is necessary to modify the damper area to allow
passage of the venting, the modifications should be allowed under
local codes. Confirm any planned changes with local building
officials.
Use Only Approved Venting
Observe local codes when venting the CARINA
Fireplace Insert.
Please consult the installation instructions supplied by the venting
manufacturer you are using. Additional brand specific installation
requirements may apply, follow the installation instructions included by
the venting manufacturer with the venting system components you
have chosen.
The venting manufacturer’s installation instructions
must be followed exactly.
Do not connect the venting to the flue of a chimney that serves a
separate solid fuel burning appliance.
The most efficient venting systems are those that have a minimum
number of bends and minimal horizontal runs.
WARNING: Operation of this heater when not connected to a properly
installed and maintained venting system can result in carbon
monoxide (CO) poisoning and possible death.
Exhaust restrictor plates must be installed depending on type of
gas and chimney height. See Page 13 to determine restrictor
requirements.
The fireplace and fireplace

good working order and
constructed of non-
combustible materials.
