Installation Instructions - Osburn 2000-I Owner's Manual

3.4. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Inspect the fireplace according to the safety information and fireplace requirements and
have it cleaned and/or upgraded as necessary.
2. If the installation of the unit renders the existing damper control inaccessible, it will be
necessary to either secure the damper wide open or remove it entirely. An inaccessible
damper, which may close, could cause smoke to enter the room. This creates a potential
health hazard.
3. CONNECTOR INSTALLATION: A flue connector may provide acceptable performance,
however, we recommend the use of a chimney liner to ensure satisfactory performance.
Slip connectors for continuous liners should also be installed. Use Listed Chimney Liners –
UL1777, CAN/ULC-S635. The connector must be secured with a minimum of three screws.
4. ATTENTION INSTALLER: When positioning the unit in a fireplace opening prior to the flue
installation, install the insert into the opening until the top lip of air jacket is flush with
fireplace facing.
