INSTALLATION INTO A MASONRY FIREPLACE
The insert must be installed as per the requirements of your local inspection
authority. A full flue liner is required in Canada and the US with this ap-
pliance as it has a catalytic combustor.
1) Positive Flue
Connection
with Cleanout
The installation of a full liner not only increases the safety of your insert by
directing the hot gases up the flue, but will also help increase the unit's ef-
ficiency and decrease creosote deposits in the chimney.
When a connected flue or liner is in use, the insert is able to "breathe" better by
allowing a greater draft to be created. The greater draft can decrease problems
such as, difficult start-ups, smoking out the door, blocked catalyst,unburned
wood, and dirty glass.
Note: On this appliance, there is a screw directly above the bypass rod located
on the flue collar as shown below. This screw is located in its position to prevent
the liner/adaptor from coming into contact with the bypass rod. Please do not
remove. This must remain in place at all times.

STEP-BY-STEP INSTALLATION INTO A
FACTORY BUILT FIREPLACE
1. When installed in a factory built fireplace, a full stainless steel rigid or
flexible flue liner is mandatory, for both safety and performance purposes.
When a flue or liner is in use, the insert is able to breathe better by allowing
a greater draft to be created. The greater draft can decrease problems
such as, difficult start-ups, smoking out the door, and dirty glass.
2. In order to position the flue liner, the existing rain cap must be removed
from your chimney system. In most cases the flue damper should also
be removed to allow passage of the liner.
3. In most cases opening the existing spark screens fully should give enough
room for the insert installation. If it does not, remove and store.
4. If the floor of your fireplace is below the level of the fireplace opening,
adjust the insert's levelling bolts to accommodate the difference. When
additional shimming is required, use non-combustible masonry or steel
shims.
5. Measure approximately the alignment of the flue liner with the position of
the smoke outlet hole on the insert to check for possible offset. If an offset
is required, use a proper stainless steel unit available with the chimney
liner.
6. Once the above items have been checked, slide your insert into position
after first positioning the flue liner and offset if required. (Re-install raincap
at completion of installation).
NOTE: Refer to "Requirements for Installing Solid-fuel Inserts in Factory-
built Fireplaces" section for the requirements for installing solid
fuel inserts in factory built fireplaces.
