3.1 Preparing the Firebox for Installation
a) Unfasten and remove the front shipping cover of
the unit (Figure 3-3).
b) Unfasten the back of the unit from the pallet
(Figure 3-4).
c) Remove the door by opening it, lifting it, and
pulling it towards the bottom until the rod exits
from the hinge holes.
d) From within the firebox, push the chimney
sweeping cap upwards and place it to the side.
3.2 Liner Installation
a) Determine the required length of liner by
measuring the bottom of the hearth to the top of
the existing chimney. NOTE: Additional length of
the liner is needed for proper installation of the
flashing and chimney cap.
WARNING: The
minimum and maximum height of the liner is
15’ and 35’ respectively.
b) Slide the stainless steel liner down the existing chimney.
c) Lower the liner 24 inches from the hearth.
d) Fill the space between the liner and the baffle of the existing
chimney with Stone Wool insulation to prevent heat from
escaping.
3.3 Liner Adaptor Installation
Insert the 6
” diameter liner adaptor at the end of the liner. The liner
must be flush with the inferior rim of the adaptor.
a) Tighten the clamp to secure the liner with the liner adaptor.
b) Secure the liner adaptor in place with stainless steel self-
piercing sheet metal screw.
3.4 Firebox Installation
a) Slide the FLAIR fireplace insert into the masonry
fireplace.
b) Align the liner adaptor with the top opening of the
circulating chamber. Note that the top/front portion of
the circulating chamber can slide off to allow for
better access to the liner adaptor - loosen wing nuts
on front bracket (Figure 3-6).
c) Insert your hand in the chimney sweeping cap
opening and pull the liner down by the handle of the
adaptor.
d) Use your thumb to bend the 4 tabs of the liner
adaptor outward to secure the liner in place.
e) Reposition the chimney sweeping cap back in the
chimney sweeping cap hole of the baffle.
