correctly installed. (Follow vent manufacturer’s instructions). Seal all joints with high temperature silicone 
to create an airtight seal.  
 
 
3. WARNING: The high temperature paint on this Multi-Fuel Insert may take several hours of burning at a 
high fuel setting to cure fully. During this time, an odor that is not harmful may be evident. When odors are 
present, the area around the Multi-Fuel Insert should be well ventilated.
