Installer—READ THIS FIRST
Only qualifi ed licensed or trained personnel
should install this appliance.
1. YOU NEED TO KNOW FROM THE
HOMEOWNER:
•
What accessories (front trim, closure plate,
etc.) will be installed with this fi replace;
•
What is the venting confi guration
•
What is the required cavity size and hearth
fi nish - see front installation manuals;
•
What are the optional accessories to be
installed with this fi replace if any.
2. Clean cavity, chimney, ash dump, and clean-out.
3. Unpack the appliance, removing all items packed
inside and around the appliance.
4. Check that you have everything, using the Pack
Content sheet. Also check that you have the front,
fi rebox panels and fuel bed, optional accessories.
5. Remove the window of the appliance.
6. Convert the vent slider plate if necessary
(530CVA).
A few points must be considered before installing the
530 insert into an existing fi replace cavity. Generally, no
modifi cations are allowed to the existing fi replace that
will compromise the integrity of the existing fi replace.
Components that are bolted or screwed on such as
dampers or baffl es may be removed to accommodate
the installation of the 530 insert engine. Cutting away
any sheet metal parts of the existing fi replace to
accommodate the installation of the 530 insert is
prohibited. Check with local authorities if in doubt.
Clean Fireplace and Chimney
Have the chimney swept and the fi replace cavity
including ash dumps and clean-outs cleaned before
installing the 530 insert heater and vent liners. Any
creosote or soot residue remaining in the fi replace
cavity chimney or clean-out may cause odors or stains
once the 530 insert is installed. Consult with chimney
sweep for information on how best to clean.

Existing Dampers
Factory-built, zero-clearance fi replaces will require the
damper to be removed in order to install the vent liners.
These dampers are usually bolted into place. Dampers
in masonry fi replaces must be fi xed open and may
remain in place.
Ash Retaining Curbs
Some fi replaces (particularly factory-built) have a
raised curb at the front edge to retain ashes. Check the
dimensions carefully to ensure the 530 insert engine
will fi t behind any raised curb (some curbs may be
removed separately from the refractory base).
