A few points must be considered before inserting the
739IR into an existing fi replace cavity. Generally, no
modifi cations are allowed to the existing fi replace that
will compromise the integrity of the existing fi replace.
Components that are bolted or screwed on such as
dampers or baffl es may be removed to accommodate
the installation of the 739IR engine. Cutting away
any sheet metal parts of the existing fi replace
to accommodate the installation of the 739IR is
prohibited. Check with local authorities if in doubt.
Clean Fireplace and Chimney
Have the chimney swept and the fi replace cavity
including ash dumps and clean-outs cleaned before
installing the 739IR heater and vent liners. Any
creosote or soot residue remaining in the fi replace
cavity chimney or clean-out may cause odors or stains
once the 739IR insert is installed. Consult with chimney
sweep for information on how best to clean.
Installation Planning
Existing Fireplace Preparation
Tools and supplies required
• Packing knife
• Screwdriver set
• Pliers
• Adjustable Wrench
• Sealant
• Dish soap/water solution
• Gloves
• Eye Protection
• Electric outlet if installing a blower
Existing Dampers
Factory-built, zero-clearance fi replaces will require the
damper to be removed in order to install the vent liners.
These dampers are usually bolted into place. Dampers
in masonry fi replaces must be fi xed open and may
remain in place.
Ash Retaining Curbs
Some fi replaces (particularly factory-built) have a
raised curb at the front edge to retain ashes. Check the
dimensions carefully to ensure the 739IR engine will fi t
behind any raised curb (some curbs may be removed
separately from the refractory base).
