INSTALLING YOUR INSERT

Your insert is very heavy and will require two or three people to move it into position. The insert can be made lighter by removing the cast iron
door by opening it and lifting it off its hinges. Be sure to protect your hearth extension with a heavy blanket or carpet scrap during the installation.
Evaluate your minimum cavity opening. If the cavity height lends itself to conduct the install without removing the flue collar, then just slide the unit into place
and position the liner within the flue collar and secure.
If the cavity dictates the flue collar needs to be removed or the optional offset flue adaptor is required, please follow the steps below.
1. Remove door, manual package, and bricks - see instructions in manual.
2. Remove bypass rod - turn counter clockwise.
3. The bypass rod was threaded through a "fork" - access fork through the
flue and remove by bringing it through the front of the unit.

4. From inside the firebox - remove 7/16" bolt at back of firebox to remove
the flue collar.
