Installation Planning
Existing Fireplace Preparation
A few points must be considered before inserting the
785 into an existing
fi
replace cavity. Generally, no
modi
fi
cations are allowed to the existing
fi
replace that
will compromise the integrity of the existing
fi
replace.
Components that are bolted or screwed on such as
dampers or baf
fl
es may be removed to accommodate
the installation of the 785 engine.
Cutting away
any sheet metal parts of the existing
fi
replace
to accommodate the installation of the 785 is
prohibited
. Check with local authorities if in doubt.
Clean Fireplace and Chimney
Have the chimney swept and the
fi
replace cavity
including ash dumps and clean-outs cleaned before
installing the 785 heater and vent liners. Any creosote
or soot residue remaining in the
fi
replace cavity
chimney or clean-out may cause odors or stains once
the 785 insert is installed. Consult with chimney sweep
for information on how best to clean.
Existing Dampers
Factory-built, zero-clearance
fi
replaces will require the
damper to be removed in order to install the vent liners.
These dampers are usually bolted into place. Dampers
in masonry
fi
replaces must be
fi
xed open and may
remain in place.
Ash Retaining Curbs
Some
fi
replaces (particularly factory-built) have a
raised curb at the front edge to retain ashes. Check the
dimensions carefully to ensure the 785 engine will
fi
t
behind any raised curb (some curbs may be removed
separately from the refractory base).
