INSTALLATION PROCEDURE FOR MASONRY AND FACTORY-
BUILT FIREPLACES
READ THE ENTIRE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AND CHECK ALL
REqUIRED CLEARANCES PRIOR TO INSTALLING THIS APPLIANCE.
WEAR GLOVES DURING INSTALLATION IN CASE OF SHARP EDGES
ON THE FIREPLACE.
CAUTION
SHARP EDGES - WATCH YOUR
FINGERS
Wear gloves to guard against any
sharp metal edges.
Position Insert and Connect Venting
Place the insert into the fireplace, making sure to center it side to side.
Slide the insert in until the surround mounts are approximately 1/2” (13
mm) from the face of the fireplace where the surround panels cover.
Lower the chimney and make attachment to the insert.
Leveling the Insert in the Fireplace
The leveling leg access holes are accessible from inside the firebox.
Break away both cover plates and insert the leveling bolts (provided in
manual pack). Level the fireplace insert by using a 9/16” socket to adjust
the bolts. The leveling bolts are 1” in length and combined with minimal
clearance in the firebox, only allows for 1/2” adjustment. If more adjust-
ment is needed, longer 3/8-16 UNC bolts can used at the appropriate
lengths. For installs where the fireplace bottom is sloped down toward
the back, refractory brick can be used to first level the fireplace floor prior
to installing the insert.
Installing Surround Panels and Insert Top
Once the insert is in place and the venting has been connected, install a
surround panel kit to cover the exposed fireplace opening. For factory-built
fireplace installations, you must leave 1/4” space between the surround
panels and the fireplace front. After installing the surround panels, install
the insert top warming surface.
Installing Front Support
If front support is necessary, use a front support kit (Part# H8675 for
model ML230) to support the front of the insert and fill the space between
the hearth and the insert bottom. Leveling legs can be used to support
the front of the insert and can be inserted into two 3/8-16 holes located
under the front of the firebox.
NOTES:
• Although not required, a full-length stainless steel liner is recommended
for optimum safety and performance. If a full-length liner is not used
and a consistent draft cannot be maintained during operation, it may
be necessary to use a full-length liner. See your IHP dealer for details.
• When installing your fireplace insert with a positive flue connection
into a factory-built fireplace, be sure to leave the insulation off the
surround panels (flanges) and leave a 1/4” (6 mm) airspace insulation
off the surround panels and the facing of your fireplace.
• This appliance may be vented into a code-approved masonry chimney
with flue liner.
• It is necessary to permanently seal any opening between the masonry
of the fireplace and the facing masonry.
Offset Boxes
Offsets can be handled using an offset box (it aligns flue outlet of insert
with the fireplace flue
(see
Figures 12 and 13
)
. Care should be used to
ensure that this adjustable offset box is oriented so it does not angle
down when positioned on the insert flue outlet (level or slightly up at the
outbound end is recommended).
