and the facing masonry must be permanently sealed with mortar.
NOTE: For installations in Canada this insert must be installed with a continuous
chimney liner with a diameter of 6” extending from the fireplace insert to the top of the

Inspection and cleaning are a prerequisite before installing
your insert. Your fireplace and chimney system must be free of all soot and creosote.
Inspect for deterioration of mortar joints and cracked liners for the safety of your unit and
your home. If chimney is damaged or if local regulations or insurance companies require
chimney lining for safety, install liner or reline the chimney following all of the liner
manufacturer’s instructions.
Installation in a masonry fireplace (see Fig 1)
Remove your damper from your
fireplace or block open permanently
to prevent it from accidentally
closing and causing smoke in your
room. A 6 inch chimney connector
must be connected from your insert
up through the damper area to the first
flue liner This connector should be
stainless steel chimney liner material.
Insert this liner in chimney now and
support up in chimney until your
insert is in place. Now position your
insert on the hearth
(Note: First
you
will want to place a thin sheet of metal
or cardboard on your hearth for
protection from chipping or
scratching your hearth.)
With
your insert positioned on the hearth,
you are now ready to fasten the
shroud on the sides of your insert Fig 1
with 2 screws on each side. Determine the depth of the insert in the fireplace and adjust
the shroud sides accordingly to line the flues up as close as possible. The sides are
adjustable and should be tightened to the insert at this time. The shroud should overlap
the face of the fireplace a minimum of 2 inches. This is necessary to hold the insulation
in place and insure a good airtight seal around fireplace. Contact your dealer if a custom
sized shroud is required. Pull chimney connector down into flue collar of the insert and
