CAUTION: The fireplace in which the Profile
INS is to be installed must be thoroughly cleaned if
it has been used to burn wood or synthetic logs.
Have the chimney and all inside surfaces of the
fireplace brushed and vacuumed so that no soot,
embers, or loose combustion deposits can be
drawn into the heat circulation blower and blown
into the living area. If any portion of the chimney
system shows signs of structural or mechanical
weaknesses, such as: cracks, leaky joints, corroded
or warped surfaces, the faulty portion must be re-
paired or replaced prior to installing this appliance.
IMPORTANT: When installing the Profile
into a factory built fireplace, the firebox must accept
the insert without modification other than removing
bolted or screwed together pieces such as smoke
shelf / deflectors, ash lips, screen or door tracks
and damper assemblies. Any fireplace component
which is removed must be retained so they can be
reinstalled to restore the fireplace to its original op-
erating condition. The removal of any part must not
alter the integrity of the outer shell of the pre-
engineered fireplace cabinet in any way.
