VENTING AND INSTALLATION

1.  Before beginning, remove glass door and log package from 

unit. Also check to make sure there is no hidden damage to 

the unit. Take a minute and plan out the gas, venting and elec-

trical route. It is best to start with the gas line first, followed 

by the chimney liner and electrical supply requirements.

2.  Minimum  fireplace  opening  requirements  are  shown  in  

Figure  2

  of  this  installation  manual. The  firebrick  (refrac-

tory), glass doors, screen rails, screen mesh and log grates  

can be removed from a factory built fireplace in order to gain 

minimum gas insert opening requirements prior to installing 

the gas fireplace insert.

3.  This insert requires no hearth extensions. Combustible ma-

terial on the floor may be installed up to the insert. Do not 

obstruct the lower louver of the insert. The original fireplace 

cannot be returned to solid fuel in this condition.

4.  The metal floor of the solid fuel firebox may be removed to 

facilitate  the  installation  of  the  insert.  CLEARANCE  TO 

COMBUSTIBLE  MATERIAL  UNDER  THE  INSERT  IS 

1/4”. YOU MUST USE THE LEVELING LEGS TO RAISE 

THE INSERT A MINIMUM OF 1/4” IF THE INSERT IS 

TO SIT ON COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL. The side walls 

and top structure of the firebox may not be altered with the 

exception of removable baffles and dampers. Smoke shields, 

shelves  and  baffles  may  be  removed  if  attached  with  me-

chanical fasteners. The original fireplace cannot be returned 

to solid fuel in this condition.

5.  Combustible  facing  material  may  be  installed  over  the 

original  combustible  facing  material  on  the  solid  fuel  fire-

place.  The  original  specified  clearances  of  a  factory-built 

fireplace  must  be  maintained,  with  the  exception  of  the 

hearth.  Clearances  on  a  masonry  fireplace  must  be  main-

tained at 12” from the opening for combustible projections 

over  1  1/2”.  Clearances  for  combustible  projections  under  

1  1/2”  must  be  maintained  at  6”  from  the  opening  per 

NFPA211.  Plan  the  surround  size  accordingly. A  surround 

must be used with the insert. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE 

CAN COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL BE PLACED BEHIND 

THE SURROUND!

6.  The insert surround is tested and approved with this gas insert 

and may cover existing air circulation vents or grills on the 

solid fuel fireplace it is installed into. If the surround does 

not cover the entire ventilation grill surface, the exposed grill 

area should be left open.

NOTE: Surround panel kits have been tested and approved to 

cover existing air circulation vents or grills.
NOTE: Cutting of sheet metal parts of a fireplace in order to 

install the fireplace insert is prohibited.

WARNING: Only the surround as supplied may be used 

to cover integral grills on the solid fuel-burning fireplace. 

No other components such as shrouds, sheet metal plates, 

etc. may be used to seal off vents.

7.  To assure top performance, safety and efficiency, inserts must 

be  installed  with  an  approved  flue  liner  as  per  CAN/CGA 

B-149 or National Fuel Code ANSI Z223 and these instruc-

tions.

Note: The following statement is also provided on a separate 

label plate in the instruction packet. Prior to installation of 

the fireplace insert, the installer must mechanically secure this 

warning plate to the inside of the fireplace for future reference 

as required.

WARNING: The solid fuel fireplace has been converted 

for use with gas only and cannot be used for burning wood 

or solid fuels unless all original parts have been replaced 

and the fireplace has been reapproved by the authority 

having jurisdiction.

8.  The solid fuel fireplaces’ flue damper must be fully locked 

in the open position or removed for installation of the gas 

fireplace insert.

9.  The fireplace and fireplace chimney must be cleaned and in 

good working order and constructed of noncombustible ma-

terials.

10.  Make sure that all chimney cleanouts fit properly so air can-

not leak into the chimney.

11.  Install  the  insert  without  the  surround  panels  attached  and 

make all gas, venting, and electrical connections.

If the factory built fireplace does not have gas access holes 

provided, an access hole of 1 1/2” diameter (37.5mm) or 

less may be drilled through the lower sides or bottom of 

the firebox in a proper workmanship like manner. This 

access hole must be plugged with a non-combustible insu-

lation after the gas supply line has been installed.

12.  To complete the installation, install surround panel assembly. 

Please refer to instructions included with the surround panel 

kit.

Ensure there are no obstructions to side air passages of 

decorative trim once installed on insert.

INSTALLING THE VENT SYSTEM
Vent System Installation Precautions

Before starting installation of vent kits, the installer should read 

these instructions and the Vent Kit Instructions to ensure that a 

proper vent installation is completed. Consult your local Building 

Codes before beginning the Installation.

MUST  BE  VENTED  DIRECTLY  TO  THE  OUTSIDE 

AND MUST NEVER BE ATTACHED TO A CHIMNEY 

SERVING  A  SEPARATE  SOLID  FUEL  BURNING 

APPLIANCE.  EACH  GAS  APPLIANCE  MUST  USE 

A  SEPARATE  VENT  SYSTEM.  COMMON  VENT 

SYSTEMS ARE PROHIBITED.
