  • Page 14: Installation Methods

    We at Archgard recommend the Full Liner installation for numerous reasons. The CHALET 1800 WOOD Fireplace Insert is designed with a 6" flue collar and by installing a full liner from the top of the flue collar of the insert all the way to the top of the chimney optimizes draft conditions and performance and it eliminates the need to pull the insert out of the fireplace every time you need to have the chimney swept.
  • Page 15 As Archgard has no control over what liner system is being used with the CHALET 1800 WOOD Fireplace Insert, here we can only give a general overview of the installation procedure of dropping a generic uninsulated liner from the top of the chimney and connecting it to the flue collar of the appliance.

If you are using a 6” outside dimension Stainless Steel liner (since this is a concealed area do not use “black” or “galvanized” pipe), the liner will slip right into the flue collar and can be at- tached into the three pre-punched flue collar holes or the two supplied angle brackets and the front flue collar hole may be used.

    CHIMNEY MAINTENANCE It is very important to carefully maintain your Chalet 1800 insert, including burning seasoned wood and main- taining a clean insert and chimney system. Have the chimney cleaned before the burning season and as nec- essary during the season, as creosote deposits may build up rapidly. Moving parts of your insert require no lubrication.
