Existing Fireplace Preparation
A few points must be considered before inserting the
785IL 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 785IL engine.
Cutting away
any sheet metal parts of the existing fi replace
to accommodate the installation of the 785IL 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 785IL 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 785IL 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 785IL engine will
fi t
behind any raised curb (some curbs may be removed
separately from the refractory base).
