Insert Wiring Kit
Normal installation requires the cord for the standard convection fan to run out from the bottom
of the finish panel to a wall outlet. If you do not want the power cord running across your hearth,
consider using the optional Insert Wiring Kit (Part # 97200315). This kit allows you to hard-wire
the insert’s electrical connection within your existing fireplace. Ask your Avalon dealer for details.

Inside-Fit Panels
You can modify (cut-down) the standard
rectangular panels to fit the inside opening
of your fireplace. This allows you to
showcase your original fireplace finish and
the fireplace face.
Lower Zero Clearance Panel
Designed to be used with the Rectangular
panel system, this lower panel offers a finished
appearance to your installation when the
existing fireplace opening is elevated above
the floor. This panel can be cut to size and
will cover up to 7” below the insert.
Sizing Your Fireplace For An Insert
Before visiting your Avalon dealer, answer
these helpful questions.
1. What purpose will the fireplace insert fill?
a) Zonal or Supplemental Heating
OR
b) Whole Home Heating
2. What room or rooms (determine
square footage) will the insert be used
to heat?
3. Do you have natural gas or propane
and has it been piped to the fireplace?
4. Is the fireplace Masonry or Zero
Clearance (Metal) construction?
It would be helpful to jot down these

and help select the correct fireplace insert
for your heating needs.
