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. #4). If it is necessary to get access to the connector pipe
through the fl ue outlet of the Insert, the baffl e can be removed
(see Baffl e Removal section).
5) Measure, trim and shape a top fl ashing to fi t the existing
chimney fl ue. Plan for a 1” to 1-1/2” 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 chim-
ney.

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 defects.
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 thoroughly.
2) A full stainless steel rigid or fl exible fl ue liner meeting type
HT requirements (2100°F) 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 re-
place.
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.
