Note: Though this is an allowable installation, we do not recommend it because of the possibility of poor
draft, and therefore poor stove performance.

1. Before the face plate is installed onto
the unit, glue a 6" (150mm) wide R20
fiberglass insulation strip around the
perimeter of the back of the panels using
RTV silicon or stove gasket cement.
When the face plate is installed onto
the unit the insulation must overlaps the
fireplace opening to form a seal between
the masonry fireplace and the unit's face
plate. Let the silicon or cement dry.
2. To make the installation of the surround
panel onto the unit easy have the unit 6"
(150mm) out from the fireplace,
3. Push the insert into the fireplace, allowing
the insulation to form a seal between
the panels and the fireplace. Tuck any
exposed insulation behind the face plate.

NOTE: To use this type of installation we
recommend your chimney have a minimum
cross-sectional area of 28 and a maximum of
144 square inch. If it is not within this range
your chimney may not have sufficient draw
for the fireplace to operate correctly. The
required cross-section may vary depending
on climate and if the chimney is inside (better)
or outside.
