This section outlines how to install the fireplace insert into either:
• An existing fireplace or;
• A new construction or renovation.
Existing Fireplace Installation
Thoroughly clean out the existing fireplace and hearth area.
Seal all drafts, vents or ash clean outs with fiberglass insulation. Seal the flue and once sealed,
close the damper to stop debris from falling onto the unit.
If the existing firebox is susceptible to moisture, cap the top of the chimney flue to prevent the
infiltration of water.
Note: It is strongly advised that you hire a qualified professional to undertake this step in order
to prevent personal injury. Once the flue is capped, the chimney is no longer suitable for wood
burning.
Note: Do not install this unit into a fireplace that is prone to dampness; the area of installation
must be dry.

be plugged in a three-prong permanently grounded outlet. The grounding pin cannot be cut off to
fit in a two-prong outlet.

a risk of fire. However, if you have to use an extension cord, the cord shall be no. 14 Awg minimum

grounding type plug and cord connection.

Carefully remove the unit from the box. Prior to installation of the unit, test it to make sure it operates
properly. Plug the unit’s power supply cord into a conveniently located 120-volt grounded outlet.
Caution : The unit’s power supply cord must be connected to a properly grounded and protected 120-
volt outlet. Always use ground fault protection where required by the electrical code.
