Install the Firebox

The cast iron baffles must be removed to secure the 

draw-down adaptor to the firebox. The Left Baffle has 

three bosses cast into the underside that engage with 

corresponding locator holes in the air tubes to lock each 

tube in correct position. Use a flashlight to locate the 

bosses by lifting up on the Left Baffle. See fig. 12.
1.  Lift up the Left Cast Iron Baffle to disengage it from 

the air tubes, and remove each air tube.

2.  Push up on the Right Baffle and remove the Left 

Baffle, dropping it down and out. 

3.  Lift and remove the Right Baffle.
4.  Locate the fireplace insert in its final position. From 

within the firebox, reach up and pull the Draw-down 

Adaptor into the insert flue collar.

Install the Draw-Down Adaptor

1.  Insert the end of the chimney flue flex pipe as far as 

it will go into the non-crimped end of the adaptor or, 

if appropriate, the adaptor that may be supplied by 

the flex liner manufacturer.    

Orient the draw-down adaptor so that the retainer 

pin will be parallel with the front of the fireplace. 

This will ease locating the cotter pin hole. Fig. 11.

2.  Drill holes through the flex pipe at the three pilot 

hole locations in the adaptor and secure with sheet 

metal screws.

Installing the Fireplace Insert

Power Cord Orientation

1.  Determine to which side the blower power cord 

will be routed. DO NOT ROUTE THE POWER CORD 

ACROSS THE FRONT OF THE FIREPLACE. 

2.  Insert the AC power receptacle lead through the ap-

propriate inlet in the side of the firebox. See fig. 10. 

Remove the #8 x 5/8” phillips screw already in place 

and engage the receptacle bracket with the tab in 

the inlet opening. Reinstall the screw. 

3.  Route the AC power wire harness through the hole 

in the Inner Shroud and around the front of the 

blower. Plug the male quick-connector into the cor-

responding female connector on the blower wire 

harness, located between the two blowers. Loosen 

the Control Switchplate wingnut to swing the 

switch assembly out for better access to the female 

connector. 

  After connection, relocate the whole wire harness 

behind the blower and resecure the switchplate.              

4.  Plug the power cord into the receptacle, but do not 

plug it into the wall outlet until the installation is 

complete.

Remove Baffles and Front Secondary Air Tube.

5.   Insert the retainer pin through the appropriate holes 

in the adaptor ears, and lock the retainer pin in place 

using the cotter pin.

6.  Replace first the right baffle,  then the left baffle, 

followed by the  air tubes. ADJUST THE AIR TUBES AS 

NECESSARY TO BE SURE EACH IS PROPERLY ENGAGED 

WITH THE ADJACENT LOCATOR BOSSES ON THE LEFT 

BAFFLE.
