Preparing the Leveling Bolts

The insert is equipped with two rear leveling bolts to
enable the fireplace to be easily leveled. These
leveling bolts need to be fully retracted prior to
inserting the appliance into the opening. This is done
to prevent damage to the existing fireplace hearth.
Once the appliance is located inside the fireplace
enclosure. The bolts may then be extended to level the
fireplace.
ROUTING GAS PIPING TO
FIREPLACE
The STi fireplace insert provides a gas piping inlet
hole on the front left side of the appliance. Gas piping
must be routed to this location prior to installing the
insert.
Determine where the fireplace will be positioned when
the installation is complete. Once this position is
determined, gas line positioning can also be
determined.
Note: Improper installation of gas piping is
potentially dangerous. All gas piping should be
installed by qualified individuals and strict
adherence to applicable codes is required. If you
are not familiar with gas piping or your local
codes, do not attempt to install the gas piping.
