Installing Your Unit - Regency Alterra Pro i3000A Owners & Installation Manual

Installing Your Unit

Important: The catalytic monitor probe which is supplied with
this appliance must be installed prior to sliding the unit into
final position in the masonry fireplace. See next page.
Your insert is very heavy and will require two or three people to move it
into position. The insert can be made lighter by opening the cast iron door
and lifting it off its hinges. Be sure to protect your hearth extension with
a heavy blanket or carpet scrap during the installation.
Evaluate the minimum cavity opening. If the cavity is high enough to
install the insert without removing the flue collar, slide the unit into place,
position the liner within the flue collar, and secure.
If the cavity is too small and the flue collar needs to be removed, please
follow the steps below.
1. Remove the door, manual package, bricks, and C-Cast baffle packages
from inside the unit.
2. From inside the firebox, remove the two 7/16" bolts holding the flue
collar; using a socket with an extension is ideal. Slide the collar off the
unit. See following 2 diagrams.
NOTE: Bypass door must be fully open to gain access to the 2 bolts.

3. Install the stainless steel flex liner into the existing chimney per manu-
facturer's specifications.

4. Install the flue collar removed in Step 2 onto the end of the flex liner. Secure
the collar using 3 screws - 1 on the front, and 1 on the left and right sides.
5. Start by setting the rear of the unit into the fireplace. Ensure that the unit is
centered in the existing fireplace and lined up with the flue collar. Gently slide
unit inward into final position being careful not to damage the hearth. If cor-
rectly installed, the flue collar will be in same position when removed in step
2. Check for alignment as the bolts holes must line up.

6. Once the unit is in its final position, secure the flue collar by attaching the two
7/16" bolts that were removed in step 2.
