2.4 Installation Instructions
1. Inspect the fireplace according to the safety information and fireplace requirements and have it
cleaned and/or upgraded as necessary.
2. If the installation of the unit renders the existing damper control inaccessible, it will be necessary to
either secure the damper wide open or remove it entirely. An inaccessible damper, which may close,
could cause smoke to enter the room. This creates a potential health hazard.
3. CONNECTOR INSTALLATION: A flue connector may provide acceptable performance, however,
we recommend the use of a chimney liner to ensure satisfactory performance. Slip connectors for
continuous liners should also be installed. Use Listed Chimney Liners – UL1777, CAN/ULC-S635.
The connector must be secured with a minimum of three screws. In order to connect the chimney
liner to a chimney, refer to figure 2.3 and follow these steps. Secure a stove pipe adapter (B) to the
chimney (A). Then, secure the chimney liner (C) to the stove pipe adapter (B). Secure the chimney
liner (C) to the adapter (D). Finally, secure the adapter (D) to the appliance.
4. ATTENTION INSTALLER: When positioning the unit in a fireplace opening prior to the flue
installation, install the insert into the opening until the top lip of air jacket is flush with fireplace
facing.

with the unit in place. Remove the insert and locate the anchors.
