PLANNING YOUR INSTALLATION QUESTIONS TO ASK LOCAL BUILDING OFFICIAL A correct installation is critical and imperative for reduc- ing fire hazards and perilous conditions that can arise when wood burning appliances are improperly installed. The installer must follow all of the manufacturer's in- structions.
CLEARANCES WARNING: IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU OBSERVE THE MINIMUM CLEARANCES. DO NOT STORE FIREWOOD WITHIN THIS CLEARANCE SPACE. FAILURE TO MAINTAIN CLEARANCES TO ALL COMBUSTIBLES MAY RESULT IN A HOUSE FIRE. There are listed clearances for your fireplace insert, which were determined in a Laboratory testing and must be maintained.
FACTORY BUILT FIREPLACES (Not Approved In Canada) In the USA, this appliance is approved for installation into a listed factory built solid fuel burning fireplace (built to UL 127 or ULC S610 standards). The fireplace fire- box must accept the insert without modification other than removing bolted or screwed together pieces such as smoke shelf / deflectors, ash lips, screen or door tracks and damper assemblies, that must be reinstalled...
MASONRY FIREPLACES This appliance is approved for installation into a ma- sonry fireplace built to UBC 37 or ULC S628 standards. Do not remove brick or mortar form the masonry fire- place to accommodate this appliance. If the fireplace has been modified to accommodate the fireplace insert, a metal tag documenting what was modified must be attached to the fireplace (as required by Clause 5.1.11 it must be secured using screws or nails to the fire-...
FACTORY BUILT FIREPLACE REQUIREMENTS – Note: In Canada, installation into a Factory Built Fireplace is not approved. When installing the 2800HT into a "high dome" or "low profile" type factory built fireplace (ZC), a ZC Fire- place kit is required (kit consists of components to insulate and allow for heat dissipation).
POWER CORD CHANGEOVER DANGER: Risk of electrical shock. Disconnect power before servicing appliance. Do not route power cord under or in front of appliance. To change the power cord from one side of insert to the other, perform the following steps: 1.

10. Offsets can be handled using an offset adapter (it aligns starter pipe with flue. See Offset Adapter, page 26 for ordering information). Do not push insert in completely until surround assembly is installed. Care should be used to ensure that this adjustable connector is oriented so it does not angle downhill when positioned on the flue outlet on top of insert.
SURROUND ASSEMBLY IMPORTANT: Do not face seal over chimney cooling air system on superior brand or any brand fireplace which is designed with the chimney cooling air system. 13. Pull the insert slightly forward to its desired position; attach the face shield using the sur- round clips and hardware as shown.
POSITIVE FLUE CONNECTION FOR MASONRY FIREPLACE (continued) A preferable installation is the positive flue connection (a positive seal between the flue extension and the chimney). This can be achieved by using a filler plate. A filler plate can be made by making a cardboard pat- tern to fit the fireplace throat.

Start-Up Air Control To provide sufficient combustion air to achieve a clean burn as quickly as possible, the 2800HT supplements its primary air with a separate "Start-Up" supply. This con- trol should be used only when starting a fire or when refueling.
CARE AND OPERATION BLOWER SYSTEM The Blower System consists of a ON / OFF rocker switch, a variable speed blower speed control switch (rheostat) located on the right side panel, a thermally activated switch (fan disc) and 4 axial blowers. When starting a fire, leave the blower system off until the insert is thoroughly heated (approx.
FUEL BURN RECOMMENDED FUEL This appliance is approved for use with wood only. Use only natural dry untreated wood (see Important Warn- ings, page 2, #10). Do not burn particleboard scraps or pressed logs using bonding agents because they can produce conditions which will deteriorate metal.
MAINTENANCE DOOR GASKET A spun fiberglass gasket (3/4" [19 mm] in diameter) pro- vides the seal around the fuel door. Should this become frayed or damaged it should be replaced. Spun fiberglass "rope" gasketing can be purchased from your dealer. It must be the same diameter as the original.

MAINTENANCE Cleaning – If the chimney is to be cleaned without re- moving the insert from the fireplace, the baffle plate (in the firebox) must first be removed. Chimney cleaning should only be done by a qualified chimney sweep. See following –...
* SMOKES OUT FUEL DOOR WHEN OPEN 1. The primary air control is closed. 2. The chimney is too cool. Set the primary air control on HIGH setting with start-up control OPEN for a few minutes before opening the fuel door. 3.
