Installation Planning
Existing Fireplace Preparation
A few points must be considered before inserting the
739-72 into an existing
fi
replace cavity. Generally, no
modi
fi
cations are allowed to the existing
fi
replace that
will compromise the integrity of the existing
fi
replace.
Components that are bolted or screwed on such as
dampers or ba
ffl
es may be removed to accommodate
the installation of the 739-72 engine.
Cutting away
any sheet metal parts of the existing
fi
replace
to accommodate the installation of the 739-72 is
prohibited
. Check with local authorities if in doubt.
Clean Fireplace and Chimney
Have the chimney swept and the
fi
replace cavity
including ash dumps and clean-outs cleaned before
installing the 739-72 heater and vent liners. Any
creosote or soot residue remaining in the
fi
replace
cavity chimney or clean-out may cause odors or
stains once the 739-72 insert is installed. Consult with
chimney sweep for information on how best to clean.
Installer—READ THIS FIRST
1. YOU NEED TO KNOW FROM THE
HOMEOWNER what accessories (surround,
etc.) will be installed with this
fi
replace;
2. Unpack the appliance, removing all items packed
inside and around it. Recycle the packaging.
3. Check that you have everything, using the Pack
Content sheet. Also, check that you have:
•
Fuel bed;
•
Venting accessories;
•
Gas conversion kit if necessary;
•
Electrical accessories if necessary;
•
Surround.
Existing Dampers
Factory-built, zero-clearance
fi
replaces will require the
damper to be removed in order to install the vent liners.
These dampers are usually bolted into place. Dampers
in masonry
fi
replaces must be
fi
xed open and may
remain in place.
Ash Retaining Curbs
Some
fi
replaces (particularly factory-built) have a
raised curb at the front edge to retain ashes. Check the
dimensions carefully to ensure the 739-72 engine will
fi
t
behind any raised curb (some curbs may be removed
separately from the refractory base).
4. Clean cavity, chimney, ash dump, and clean-out.
5. Carefully read the Installer’s Checkllist included
with the
fi
replace for the installation sequence.
Only quali
fi
ed licensed or trained personnel
should install this appliance.
