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 (face shield)
and attach insulation material provided using a nonflam-
mable adhesive (i.e. RTV 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 ma-
sonry or factory built fireplaces.
7. Set the insert on the protective cardboard laid out in front of
the fireplace centered in front of the fireplace 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 extending past the header
is required). See * note.
9. (Factory Built Fireplace) Slide insert into the fireplace 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 or-
dering information). Do not push insert in completely until
surround assembly is installed. Care should be used to
ensure that this adjustable connector is oriented so it does
not angle downhill when positioned on the flue outlet on
top of insert.
11. If the floor of the fireplace is lower than the hearth,
turn the adjusting bolts secured with 2 nuts (not in-
cluded with the hardware) located at the sides of the
insert clockwise until insert is level. The leveling
bolts should be 3/8" in diameter and about three
inches in length.
12. Reaching over the top of the insert, install the starter
pipe in the stove flue, or attach the positive flue
connection to the insert. See * Note.
