______________________________________________________________________________ 31
This insert must be installed with a continuous chimney liner of 6" diameter extending from the
insert to the top of the chimney. The chimney liner must conform to the Class 3 requirements of
CAN/ULC-S635, Standard for Lining Systems for Existing Masonry or Factory-built Chimneys and
Vents, or CAN/ULC-S640, Standard for Lining Systems for New Masonry Chimneys.
The insert is not approved for use with a so-called “positive flue connection” to the clay tile of a
masonry chimney.

CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL
The clearances shown in this section have been determined by test according to procedures set
out in safety standards ULC S628 (Canada), UL1482 (U.S.A.) and UL737 (U.S.A.). When the insert is
installed so that its surfaces are at or beyond the minimum clearances specified, combustible
surfaces will not overheat under normal and even abnormal operating conditions.
NO PART OF THE INSERT MAY BE LOCATED CLOSER TO COMBUSTIBLES THAN THE MINIMUM
CLEARANCE FIGURES GIVEN.
9.1
CERTIFICATION LABEL
Since the information given on the certification label attached to the appliance always overrides the
information published in any other media, it is important to refer to it to have a safe and compliant
installation. The model and the serial number can also be found on the label.
The certification label is usually located on the side of the insert, towards the front. The faceplate
may need to be removed to see it. Therefore, it is recommended to note the insert serial number on
page 4 of this manual. It will be needed to identify the version of the appliance in the event
replacement parts or technical assistance is required. It is also recommended to
register the
warranty online.
9.2
MASONRY FIREPLACE THROAT DAMPER
If the fireplace's draft control system is to remain in the masonry fireplace, it must be locked open
for access of the chimney liner or removed entirely. If you remove draft control system from the
masonry hearth, you will need to install the metal plate (27009), supplied with the owner’s manual
kit, indicating that the masonry hearth has been modified. It must be secured inside the masonry
hearth, in a visible place and easy to locate.
