Installation

Prepare Appliance

The size of the existing fi replace cavity will aff ect the 
method of installation. Smaller fi replaces, particularly 
factory-built zero-clearance fi replaces will require the 
RF24 fi rebox to be disassembled then reassembled 
inside the fi replace. Plan your particular installation 
accordingly.
1.  Unpack appliance.
2.  Unhook window cover.
3.  Remove window (4 bolts).
4.  Remove articles from fi rebox.
5.  Strip fi rebox down by removing:

a.  Log support (4 screws);
b.  Burner module (4 screws);
c.  Vent plate (2 screws);
d.  Support Legs (2 screws per leg)

(required when inserting into 
small fi replaces only)

Remove Vent Plate 

(2 screws)

Remove Support Legs 

(2 screws each)

Remove Burner 

Module (4 screws)

Remove Log 

Support (4 screws)

Remove Window (4 bolts)

Unhook Window Cover

3” dia. Aluminum Liner

Rough-in Vent Liner

Rough-in the 3” diameter vent liner into existing 
chimney system being careful not to tear or damage 
the liner in the process. Leave plenty of liner at the 
bottom end if the heater will be connected while on the 
hearth—see diagram.
When connecting the liner in this manner, 

it is best to 

leave the top termination until later

 so the slack liner 

can be lifted after the insert is in place.
