himney iner nstallation
Remove the existing chimney cap and install a stainless steel
liner into the chimney (if a special section has been used or
drilled to attach to the insert, it must be the bottom piece).
The next piece should be a dripless slip joint; followed by
the rest of the chimney liner. Fasten the chimney at the top
when it is positioned so that the slip joint will allow the lowest
piece to slide up enough to clear the insert during installa-
tion. Insulate the top four to six feet between the liner and
the chimney to prevent heat loss. Install the cap and flash
if necessary to prevent water or creosote from entering the
chimney's venting system.
From inside the fireplace firebox, attach any adaptors or
flue offsets and slide the liner up as far as necessary for the
bottom piece to clear the insert during installation.

nstalling the nsert
Place the insert into the fireplace, making sure to center it
side to side. Slide the insert in until the surround mounts are
approximately 1/2" (13mm) from the face of the fireplace
where the surround panels cover.
Lower the chimney and make attachment to the insert. Level
the stove by using a 3/4" socket and a long extension and
adjusting the bolts on either side of the insert.
Install the side surround panels with the screws supplied.
Push the insert in until there is approximately a 1/4" (6mm)
gap between the back of the surround panels and the face
of the fireplace. Before installing the top surround panel,
make sure all connections are tight and that no part of the
insert or chimney is touching the firebox or chimney in the
fireplace. There must be a minimum of 1" (25mm) clearance
between the stove and the zero clearance fireplace. Install
the top surround panel.
If additional support is necessary, factory punched holes
in the front corners of the bottom air chamber will accept
leveling legs. Carefully measure the distance from the hearth
protection to the bottom of the stove. Use 3/8" diameter
bolts that are 1/2" (13mm) longer that the distance just
measured. Thread a nut onto the the bolt approximately 1"
(25mm). Lift the stove slightly and insert a bolt into each
hole and then thread the nut up the bolt until the front is
securely supported. Install another nut onto the bolt through
the air space in the stove and tighten securely. If desired
an insert front support, Part# 71129, is available to fill the
space between the insert and the hearth protection.
Install the brick and baffle as per page 6.
