Installation Your Insert is designed to be installed into a masonry or factory built zero-clearance fireplace. The masonry fireplace must be built according to the requirements of the Standard of Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents and Solid Fuel Burning appliances, N.F.P.A. 211 (Latest Edition) or applicable National, Provincial, State or local codes.
Note: A clean-out door may be required under local codes, when a direct flue connection is used. Consult local codes. Pacific Energy highly recommends the use of a full liner as the safest installation and providing opti- mum performance. When connected to a full liner, the Insert is able to draft correctly and will prevent problems such as difficult start-ups and smoking out the door.
Insert, the baffle should be removed (See “Baffle Removal” on page 11). Figure 6: Neo 2.5 Insert LE Direct flue connection. Into a Factory Built Fireplace Your Insert may be installed into a factory built fireplace (size permitting) with the following requirements: 1.
Surround Installation 1. Attach the Backing Plate to the mounting brackets on the unit with the four screws provided (Figure 7). 2. Push the entire appliance back until the Backing Plate assembly is in contact with the fireplace facing. 3. Attach the Front Trim by inserting the mounting hooks into the slots between the fan mount brackets and the firebox on both sides of the firebox and sliding it down to engage the hooks onto the brackets (Figure SURROUND MOUNTING BRACKETS Figure 7: Backing Plate mounting brackets.
Combustion Air Consult local building codes regarding combustion air supply. Intake or combustion air can be supplied to the Insert in one of two ways: 1. Outside air supply: Remove the cover from ash clean out in the existing fireplace. Place a rodent screen in place of the cover.
Electrical Supply Circulating air blower electrical rating: 115V, 60 Hz. 1AMP For your protection against shock hazard, use only a properly grounded outlet that will accept a three pronged plug.
