Installation
Requirements
This insert can be installed in most solid fuel burning fire-
places of either masonry construction or a prefabricated
factory built fireplace.
Prior to any installation, the existing chimney exhaust
flue must be thoroughly cleaned and completely in-
spected by a qualified chimney sweep or fireplace service
person.
Do not install this insert into a chimney that is dam-
aged. Any repairs must be made prior to installing the
insert. If you are unsure of the condition of your fireplace
and chimney, contact a professional fireplace technician
or your local authorized Scan dealer for professional as
-
sistance.
DO NOT REMOVE BRICKS OR MORTAR FROM THE
FIREPLACE OR CHIMNEY STRUCTURE.
However, masonry
or steel may be removed from the smoke shelf and ad-
jacent damper frame area to accommodate installation
of a chimney liner, provided that their removal will not
weaken the structure of the fireplace or chimney, and will
not reduce protection for combustible materials.
Figure 2. Firebox dimensions.
Leg Leveling Bracket Note:
Two right and left brackets are factory installed.
The brackets allow the insert to be raised up to
2 1/2” off of the hearth.
Also note that use of the leveling brackets
will affect required minimum clearance to
combustible top trim and mantle construction.
See the figures and tables on pages 8 and 9.
If the fireplace has been modified to accommodate
installation,
use anchors or masonry nails to attach the
metal Fireplace Conversion Notice Plate to the back wall
of the masonry fireplace firebox where it will be readily
seen should the insert be removed.
