INSTALLATION INTO A MASONRY FIREPLACE
Ashley recommends the use of a full liner where a stainless steel rigid or flexible linear pipe is routed from the
insert outlet collar to the top of the chimney.
Multiple installation methods may be available in your area. Check with local building officials for any permits
required for installation of this unit and notify your insurance company before proceeding with installation.
1. Clean the fireplace opening properly disposing of any ashes in a closed metal container. See Safety
Instructions.
2. Install a continuous stainless steel chimney liner into the existing chimney. Follow liner manufacturer
installation instructions.
•
The liner must extend to the top of the existing chimney.
• The interior diameter of the chimney flue must be identical to the stove smoke exhaust.
•
Use only listed chimney liners that meet UL1777 standards.
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.
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. Permanently attach the warning plate to a visible location in the fireplace.
4. Uncrate the appliance, remove all packing materials, and any items stored in the firebox.
5. Position the appliance into the fireplace opening.
6. If necessary 1/4-20 leveling bolts can be inserted into the base and used as levelers for uneven fireplaces.
7. 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.
8. Assemble the facade. See “3.4 INSERT FIREPLACE FACADE ASSEMBLY” section for instruction on facade
assembly and installation.
