PLEASE NOTE:
Your
CMC Wood Insert
must be assembled and installed correctly.
Please read and follow all instructions carefully. Incorrect assembly or installation could result in a damaged
CMC
Wood Insert
and/or a dangerous condition. Failure to heed these warnings could result in a fire and/or loss of life and
property. If you do not feel confident that you are equipped to complete the assembly and the installation properly
please contact

.
WARNING:
The
CMC Wood Insert
is not designed for installation into factory built “zero-clearance” (ZC) fireplaces,
nor for installation into mobile homes, nor in conjunction with gas log sets.
NOTICE:
Any fireplace used for the installation of a
CMC Wood Insert
must comply with NFPA 211, The Standard for
Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents and Solid Fuel-Burning Appliances.
If you have questions:
Contact
Fireplace Doors Online
before proceeding with installation.
INSTALLATION:
Inspect the fireplace and the chimney flue for signs of loose mortar, damaged brick, and creosote build-up. If repairs are
indicated contact a professional chimney sweep to arrange an inspection.
○ Clean the fireplace to remove all ashes and wood debris as necessary.
Check the floor of the fireplace with a level front to back. If the fireplace is pitched toward the back the leveling bolts will
be used. If the fireplace floor is pitched toward the front, the front of the
CMC Wood Insert
will need to be shimmed up.
Unpack the
CMC Wood Insert
carefully and inspect for any signs of damage.
○ If damage is noted please contact
CMC
for instructions.
Unlatch the Doors and remove them by lifting straight up. Remove the Mesh Screen Doors. Set these parts safely aside.
Assemble the Lintel Clamps by threading an adjusting nut onto each 6” bolt and adding the Lintel Bracket.
(Figure 2)
○ Thread the Lintel Clamp Bolts into the nuts welded onto the back of the
CMC Wood Insert
face.
Install the
CMC Wood Insert
into the fireplace and center it from side to side.
○ If the fireplace is pitched toward the back install the leveling bolts into the tabs inside the back corners of the
CMC
Wood Insert
. The bolts thread in from the top leaving the bolt heads accessible for adjustment. Adjust as necessary.
○ If the fireplace floor is pitched toward the front, the front of the
CMC Wood Insert
will need to be shimmed up using non-
combustible spacers such as steel washers. Seal the gaps between the shims with insulation as necessary.
○ Install insulation strips between the
CMC Wood Insert
top and sides and the face of the fireplace. Cover all gaps without
bunching the insulation. Large gaps created by rough openings may require additional insulation.
Through the front door opening rotate the Lintel Clamps up to grip the fireplace lintel. Tighten the adjusting nuts snugly.
The power cord is preinstalled to exit to the left side (facing the
CMC Wood Insert
). To route the power cord to the right
side, remove the Cord cover, (it is attached with magnets) reroute the cord, and reinstall the Cord Cover.
Reinstall the Mesh Screen Doors and the Firebox Glass Doors.
