Montpelier Medium Insert

Installing the Montpelier Medium Insert
1. Remove or Disable the Fireplace Damper.
If codes
allow, remove the damper. Many dampers can be
removed simply by removing a cotter pin and/or a
set screw.
If it is not permissible or possible to remove the
damper, secure the damper in the fully open posi-
tion.
~ NOTE: CANADIAN INSTALLATIONS ~
In accordance with CAN/CSA B365-M91, you must
permanently secure the Fireplace Modification Tag
to the rear of the fireplace cavity
if you have modi-
fied the fireplace in any way to accommodate instal-
lation of a fireplace insert.
This tag is in the hardware
bag included with your Insert.
2. Install the Floor Protector.
Make sure the floor pro-
tector satisfies the requirements discussed on Page
6. The finished height of the floor protector or raised
hearth needs to be considered before installing the
venting system.
3. Flue collar orientation:
The flue collar may be ori-
ented in the vertical position or rotated 180 degrees
on the top of the stove resulting in a 26 degree back-
ward angle. If possible, determine beforehand which
orientation will work best for your application.
In most applications, cleaning of the chimney system
will be easiest from the top (chimney cap) down. If this
is the planned method for your application, the center
iron pull down handle on the flue collar serves as pro-
tection to keep prevent a chimney brush from damag-
ing the baffle inside the stove. If cleaning can only take
place from inside the home, the center bar may be cut
out of the flue collar using a hack saw or reciprocating
metal cutting saw.
4.
Install the venting system:
Again, depending on
your application it may be easiest to install the con-
nector or stainless steel flue liner in the chimney first.
Refer to Figure 6 for the components of the venting
system.
•
Carefully remove the fiber baffle by first remov-
ing the front air tube. If necessary, removing the
remaining air tubes will allow easier access.
•
Remove the iron flue collar from the stove and
fasten either the adapter pipe or flue liner to it by
drilling three holes using the holes in the iron col-
lar as a guide.
•
Secure the flexible pipe to the pipe adaptor using
the same method.
•
Install the connector pipe or liner so that the
height measured from the finished hearth surface
to the center bar of the flue collar is 19” (483
mm). (Fig. 7) This will allow an easy connection
once the stove is rolled into place.
5. Route the blower power cord.
Run the power cord
out the left or right side of the insert. Remove the
cover plate and insert the provided grommet into the
slot. Reattach the cover plate.
6. Install the Optional Surround Kit.
Follow the in-
structions provided with the kit.
7. Roll the Firebox into Position.
At least two people
will be needed to move the firebox. Lift the front of
the stove slightly to put weight on the rear wheels
to ease installation. Position the firebox so the flue
collar lines up with the connector. Use the leveling
screws at the front of the Insert to adjust the level.
Route the power cord to the side nearest the power
supply and test the fans.
