Provide adequate ventilation air.

front face of the unit.
FIGURES 1a-c
Clean out ashes from the inside of the wood-burning fire-
place. Make sure that the chimney and wood-burning fire-
place are in a clean and sound condition and constructed
of non-combustible materials. If necessary have any re-
pair work done by a qualified person before installing the
insert. Remove the existing fireplace damper or lock into
an open position.
Using screws, attach the fireplace warning tag
(W385-0199) to the inside of the firebox of the fireplace into
which the insert is being installed.
The sheet-metal parts of the fireplace, in which the gas
fireplace insert is to be installed, must not be cut.
If the wood-burning factory-built fireplace has no gas
access hole(s) provided, an access hole of 1½ inch or
less may be drilled through the lower sides or bottom
of the fireplace in a proper workman like manner. This
access hole must be plugged with non-combustible in-
sulation after the gas supply line has been installed.
Ensure that existing chimney cleanouts fit properly.
The refractory, glass doors, screen rails, screen mesh
and log grates may be removed from the fireplace be-
fore installing the gas fireplace insert.
Smoke shelves, shields and baffles may be removed if
attached by mechanical fasteners.
The ventilation openings in the fireplace may be ob-
structed by the backer plates, aluminium trim etc. but
these parts are not to be applied so as to have an air-
tight seal.
