Move the insert close to its final position inside the wood-
burning fireplace. This unit is equipped with 6 levelling
screws located as follows: two are on either side of the
circulation blower on the rear panel; four are located front
and back on either side beneath the log support. Level
using four of the levelling screws. See Figure 1a. Levelling
the unit will eliminate rocking or excessive noise when the
fan is in operation. Once the unit is level, move it partially
into place within the fireplace to allow for all connections to
be made. It is not practical to level the insert once the it has
been installed. Determine the required depth prior to in-
stalling the unit and adjust the four levelling screws accord-
ingly.
Chimney installation must conform to both national and
local code requirements. The chimney must be lined with
one 2" or 3" diameter liner for intake and one 3" diameter
liner for exhaust. The minimum and maximum vent lengths
are 10 and 35 feet respectively. Recommended Continental
kits come in 3 lengths: While the liners must be continuous
from the fireplace to the terminal, to achieve the needed
length, they may be coupled, using an aluminium coupler,
provided installation is sealed & secured.
We recommend that exhaust vents that pass through
unheated spaces, such as a garage or attic, be
wrapped in a protective sleeve to minimize condensa-
tion and reverse flow symptoms. See Trouble Shooting
for details.
This unit is approved for use with a 2" liner for air intake
and a 3" liner for exhaust. For best performance,
however, it is recommended to use two 3" liners.
If a 2" liner is used for the intake, it is necessary to
adjust the primary air shutter. See "Air Shutter Settings"
on page 11.
1. OUTSIDE: Slip one
end of a liner a minimum
of 2" over one of the
collars of the terminal. Se-
cure using 3 screws. Then
seal the joint and screw
heads with high tempera-
ture sealant. Repeat with
the other liner.
NOTE: We recommend that the other end of the exhaust
liner be marked to eliminate the exhaust liner being con-
nected to the intake collar at the unit.

4. Detach the two screws from the back of the firebox and
remove the panel, as illustrated.
5. Reaching in through the insert, manoeuvre the vent con-
nection assembly through the openings in the firebox top,
taking care not to damage the gasket. In case of a low
ceiling fireplace, the extension should be removed and
reinstalled after the vent connection is secured to the fire-
box. Attach the restrictor plate to the centre stud and se-
cure the assembly using the three studs and ¼-20 hex
nuts.

2. Gently stretch the liners to the required lengths and in-
sert into the chimney. Place the terminal onto the top of the
chimney cap and fit the flashing plate to suit. Make weather
tight by sealing with caulking (not supplied) and fasten to
the chimney with screws and plugs (not supplied)
3. INSIDE: Attach and secure the flex liners to the vent
connection assembly using the same procedure as be-
fore, ensuring that the marked exhaust liner is attached
to the exhaust collar.
