Stove Installation

Hearth Requirements


Must extend in front of the insert and on both sides (see Insert Placement Requirements for details)

Must be non-combustible and at least .018" thick (26 gauge)

Drafting Performance

Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance up through the chimney. The amount of draft in your
chimney depends on the length of the chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions and other factors.
Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures in the appliance and may damage the heater.
Inadequate draft may cause backpuffing into the room and `plugging' of the chimney. Inadequate draft
will cause the appliance to leak smoke into the room through appliance and chimney connector joints. An
uncontrollable burn or excessive temperature indicates excessive draft.

Insert Rollers

Two rollers are built into the back edge of the insert. This
allows the insert to be rolled into position by lifting the front
of the insert and pushing it into position (see

Leveling Bolt Installation

Two leveling bolts are pre-installed on the insert to allow
for proper leveling within the fireplace. To access the
bolts, remove the back corner firebricks and cover plates
(see "a" and "b"). The bolts are pre-threaded to a

weld-nut on the base of the insert. Use a 3/4" socket
wrench to screw the bolts down (clockwise) until the insert
is level (see "c").
MASONRY NOTE: You may wish to place a metal plate
below the bolt if the masonry is weak.
SEALING THE COVER PLATE: We recommend sealing
the cover plate with furnace cement (place on underside of
cover plate).
BOLT LENGTH: The included bolts allow approximately 1"
of rise. If additional rise is required, use a longer 1/2-13
thread bolt. Make sure the additional bolt length does not
interfere with the cover plate.
