INSTALLATION
Existing Fireplace
WARNING: The electric masonry insert must be installed in an opening with the
MINIMUM dimensions 24” (61cm) wide, 21.5” (54.6cm) high and 12” (30.5cm) deep.
NOTE: To prevent personal injury always use a licensed electrician to install new outlets or
circuits.
NOTE: To prevent personal injury always use a professional to cap the chimney flue or cut a
hole in the existing fireplace for wiring.
NOTE: If returning your fireplace to its original use (ex. wood burning), it should be inspected
by the local building department prior to use to reduce the risk of fire and personal injury.
1. Seal all drafts and vents with non-fibrous insulation materials to prevent chimney debris
from falling onto the fireplace insert. Do not install into an existing fireplace that is prone
to dampness.
2. Cap the top of the chimney flue and close damper (if applicable) to prevent rain from
entering.
3. Plan your electric power supply. A 15 amp, 120 volt circuit is required. A dedicated
circuit is preferred but not essential in all cases. A dedicated circuit will be required if
after installation, the circuit breaker or fuse trips. Additional appliances may exceed the
current rating of the circuit breaker or fuse.
4. Install an outlet into the existing fireplace. If an outlet is not installed into the existing
fireplace the power cord can also run along the front of the hearth to an outlet near the
fireplace.
5. Ensure the insert power is off. (SEE OPERATION PAGE 3). Plug the masonry insert
into the outlet and slide the unit into the existing fireplace.
6. Push the insert into the firebox and center within the opening. Adjust the four feet on
the bottom of the insert by turning counter clockwise to raise and clockwise to lower so
that is level with the existing fireplace hearth.
7. Install the trim kit onto the fireplace insert (if applicable) and push the trim and or insert
back until the trim is flat against the finished wall.
WARNING:
The fireplace insert can be used with existing fireplace and screens.
Due to the heat produced from the heater, existing fireplace screens must provide
adequate air flow in front of the unit. Do not use existing fireplace doors that close,
sealing off the fireplace insert from the room. If installed behind bi-fold doors, doors
must be open to allow heat to be exhausted.
