Full Flue Liner -(Required in Canada)
1) Measure the chimney height from the top of the existing
fl ue to the fl oor of the hearth. This will allow extra length
of liner for fl ashing and rain cap.
2) Feed the stainless steel liner from top of the chimney,
through the damper area and into the fi replace cavity.
3) Attach a stove connector to the bottom of the liner.
4) Push the Insert into position inside the fi replace and attach
the connector to the stove collar. Use the rear adjusting
legs to level the Insert.
Note:
For better access, the top of the casing may be removed
(Fig. #6). If it is necessary to get access to the connector
pipe through the fl ue outlet of the Insert, the baffle can be
removed (see Baffle Removal section page 13).
5) Measure, trim and shape a top fl ashing to fi t the exist-
ing chimney fl ue. Plan for a 1”(25mm) to 1-1/2”(38mm)
overlap on each side. Place fl ashing over top of the liner
and seat fi rmly against the tile.
6) Screw fl ashing collar to liner. Caulk gap around fl ashing
with RTV silicone.
7) Attach a rain cap to the end of the liner. A storm collar
may be used if desired.
Consult your local Dealer about relining your fi replace chimney.
Direct Flue Connection - (USA only)
1) Measure from the fi rst chimney fl ue liner to the top of the
Insert. Allow extra length of liner to insert into fl ue tile.
2) Feed the stainless steel liner through the damper area
and into the fi rst chimney fl ue tile. Seal around pipe.
Note:
A clean-out door may be required under local codes,
when a direct fl ue connection is used. Consult local codes.
3) Push the Insert into position inside the fi replace and at-
tach the connector pipe to the stove collar. Use the rear
adjusting legs to level the Insert.
Note:
For better access, the top of the casing may be removed
(Fig. #6). If it is necessary to get access to the connector
pipe through the fl ue outlet of the Insert, the baffle can be
removed (see Baffle Removal section page 13).

Into a Factory Built Fireplace
Your Insert may be installed into a factory built fi replace (size
permitting) with the following requirements:
1) Inspect your fi replace for damage or other physical de-
fects. The fi replace must be in good working condition.
If in doubt about its condition, seek professional advice.
Check for creosote build up or other obstructions inside
the chimney, especially if it has not been in use for some
time. Before installing, clean your chimney system thor-
oughly.
2) A full stainless steel rigid or fl exible fl ue liner meeting
type HT requirements 2100˚F(1100°C) per 1777 (U.S.)
or ULC S635 (Canada) must be used for both safety and
performance. The liner must be securely attached to the
Insert fl ue collar and the chimney top.
3) The surround must be sealed to the fi replace front or the
damper area around the chimney liner must be sealed
to prevent room air entering the chimney cavity of the
fi replace.
4) The air fl ow within and around the fi replace must not be
altered by the installation of the Insert (i.e. no blockage of
louvers or cooling air inlet or outlet ports). This includes
the circulating air chambers in a steel fi replace or metal
heat circulator.
5) Alteration of the fi replace in any manner is not permitted
with the following exceptions:
a: external trim pieces which do not affect the operation
of the fi replace may be removed and stored on or within
the fi replace for re-assembly if the Insert is removed.
b: the chimney damper may be removed to install the
liner.
