CATALYTIC TEMPERATURE PROBE
Install temperature probe prior to installing insert
.
To install the
Catalytic Temperature Probe
locate the plug
on the top, right-hand side of the bypass control rod. Re-
move the plug, install the sleeve, and place probe in sleeve.
It may be necessary to bend the flange on the plug so it
won't interfere with the probe temperature indicator.
The Catalytic Temperature Probe is provided so you can
monitor the temperature of your Catalytic Combustor. Once
you have established a fire and the Catalytic Temperature
Probe indicates the temperature of your Catalytic Combus-
tor is between 500° - 600° F (approximately 20 - 25 min-
utes) close the Bypass Damper Control. Depending on the
type and size of the fuel load as well as the length of time
the stove has been burning, your Catalytic Combustor
should operate between 1000 - 1800° F.
POWER CORD CHANGEOVER
The power cord which is positioned on the left side of the
insert (as viewed while facing unit), can be relocated to
the right side, using an optional
Cord Changeover Kit
(See
Cat. No. 14M73, on page 29).
INSTALLATION STEPS
1. Remove all ashes from the fireplace.
2. Remove all materials inside the insert and set them
aside.
3.
Remove the three-piece surround assembly (pur-
chased separately) and attach insulation material pro-
vided using a nonflammable adhesive (i.e. RTV High
Temperature Silicone, rated 570
°
F).
4. Use a large piece of cardboard or other protective
material and place it in front of the fireplace to protect
floor or carpet during installation.
5. Remove the insert from its wood pallet by removing
the screws.
6. Prepare chimney connection system as specified
for masonry or factory built fireplaces.
7. Set the insert on the protective cardboard laid out in
front of the fireplace centered in front of the fire-
place opening.
8. (Masonry Fireplace) Slide insert into the fireplace
far enough to attach the starter pipe or positive flue
connection (a minimum of a 6" starter pipe extend-
ing past the header is required). See * note.
9. (Factory Built Fireplace) Slide insert into the fire-
place far enough to attach connector to flue outlet.
See * note.
10. Offsets can be handled using an offset adapter (it
aligns starter pipe with flue. See
Offset Adapter
,
page 25 for ordering information). Do not push in-
sert in completely until surround assembly is in-
stalled. Care should be used to ensure that this ad-
justable connector is oriented so it does not angle
downhill when positioned on the flue outlet on top of
insert.
Inspection Plug
Insert sleeve (small silver part)
and probe into this hole.
WRONG
CORRECT – Level
or even. Slightly up
at the outbound
end is better.
WRONG – This may
produce a problem
of smoking during
refueling, or poor
chimney draw.
CORRECT
Once offset is leveled and aligned to the vent
pipe, the offset must be sealed with high tem-
perature sealant.
