Clean all ashes out of the inside of the fi replace. Make sure that the chimney and fi replace are free of cracks, loose
mortar, cresote deposits, blockage or other signs of deterioration. If necessary, have any repair work done by a qualifi ed
professional before installing the insert.
Do not remove bricks or mortar from the fi replace.
1. Remove the fi replace damper or fasten it permanently open.
2. Measure the throat of the fi replace and mark this shape on a piece of 24 gauge sheet metal (fl ue cover). Cut a hole
sized for the pellet liner to lie directly below the fi replace fl ue opening. Allow two inches of material for a fl ange on all
sides and cut to these measurements. Bend down the fl anges. If you have never done this before, it might be a good
idea to make a cardboard pattern and test it fi rst. fasten this fl ue cover in position as high as possible with two
masonry screws per side through the fl anges into the fi replace.
3. If you plan on connecting outside air it is recommended to do so at this time.
4. Connect the pellet vent with a clean out tee to the back of the stove. Refer to manufacturer's installation instructions
and the "General Venting Section".
5. Run a liner down the chimney and connect to tee.
6. Position the stove in it's fi nal location.
