       CAUTIONS 

 

Trim panels or surrounds must not seal ventila-

tion openings in the existing fireplace that the 

appliance is installed in.

 

The fireplace in which this gas insert is to be 

installed must be thoroughly cleaned if it has 

been used to burn wood or synthetic logs. Have 

the chimney and all inside surfaces of the fire-

place brushed and vacuumed so that no soot, 

embers, or loose combustion deposits can be 

drawn into the heat circulation blower and blown 

into the living area. 

 

If any portion of the chimney system shows signs 

of structural or mechanical weaknesses, such 

as:  cracks,  leaky  joints,  corroded  or  warped 

surfaces,  the  faulty  portion  must  be  repaired 

or replaced prior to installing this appliance.

 

The factory built firebox must accept the insert 

without modification other than removing bolted 

or  screwed  together  pieces  such  as  baffles  / 

smoke shelf / deflectors, ash lips, glass door, 

screen or door tracks, log grates, refractory or 

masonry  lining  and  damper  assemblies.  Any 

fireplace component, which is removed, must be 

retained so they can be reinstalled to restore the 

fireplace to its original operating condition. The 

removal of any part must not alter the integrity 

of the outer shell of the pre-engineered fireplace 

cabinet in any way.  Any parts removed must be 

replaceable.  If any components are removed 

from  (or  altered)  from  the  existing  fireplace, 

a Warning Label (see Page 4) must be affixed 

inside the fireplace firebox, so that it shall be 

visible upon removal of the fireplace insert.  Note: 

RTV high temperature silicone is an approved 

adhesive to affix the label.
