Assembly Instructions
1. Clean the fireplace opening
properly disposing of any ashes
in a closed metal container. See
Safety Instructions.
2. Install a 6” (153 mm) minimum
diameter, continuous stainless
steel chimney liner into the
existing chimney. The liner must
extend to the top of the existing
chimney. Use only listed chimney
liners that meet UL 1777(US) or
ULC S635 (Canada).
3. Remove or lock the fireplace
damper in the open position.
Note: Masonry or damper
plate may be removed to
accommodate the chimney liner
provided this does not weaken
any structural components of
the existing fireplace or chimney
nor reduces protection of
combustible materials required
by national building codes.
Consult with your local building or
fire authority before doing this.
4. Uncrate the appliance, remove
all packing materials, and any
items stored in the firebox.
5. WARNING: Any fireplace which
has had parts removed or
modified to accommodate the
installation of this appliance
MUST have a warning plate
permanently installed in a visible location stating that the fireplace is unfit for use with solid fuel. This unit came
with a metal warning label. Permanently attach the warning plate to a visible location in the fireplace. After
choosing a visible location in the fireplace, permanently attach the warning plate by screwing or nailing it
into place. Note: Use the holes in the label to mark and predrill the holes needed for attaching the label.
6. Position the appliance into the fireplace opening until the top lip of the air jacket is flush with the fireplace
facing.
7. Level the appliance with the adjusting screws at the rear of the appliance.
8. Connect the chimney liner to the appliance using a stainless steel adapter and securing with a minimum
of three (3) sheet metal screws. The liner MUST be attached with the male (or crimped) end of the adapter
inside the flue collar of the appliance to allow condensation and/or creosote to drain back into the firebox.
9. Assemble the Surround. Lay pieces face down on carpet or other soft surface to protect finish during assembly.
The Surround consists of two side panels, a top panel, and a decorative trim frame.
10. Bolt the top panel (1) to the side panels (2 and 14) so the top surfaces are flush to one another using items 3
and 4.
