place. The depth may vary as long as the starter
pipe or other connecting pipe system can be effec-
tively installed.
SURROUND ASSEMBLY
IMPORTANT: Do not face seal over chimney cooling
air system on superior brand or any brand fireplace
which is designed with the chimney cooling air sys-
tem.
15. Pull the insert slightly forward to its desired position,
and then attach the face shield using the surround
clips and hardware as shown. Assemble the gold-
tone trim, using the two sets of inside corner brack-
ets. If there is a mantel above the fireplace opening,
the heat deflector (provided) must be installed on
the top edge of the surround panel (see following il-
lustrations). Attach trim to the surround.

Heat Deflector Must Be
Installed If There is a Mantel
16. Push the insert back until surround panel insulation
is compressed against the fireplace front, forming a
tight seal. Test for air leaks by holding a candle
around the edge of the surround to see if the smoke
is pulled into the fireplace.
TEST FOR AIR LEAKS BY HOLDING A CANDLE
AROUND EDGE OF FACE SHIELD TO SEE IF
SMOKE IS PULLED INTO FIREPLACE.
* NOTE: Preferred method of attaching connector to
flue outlet is to install two L-Brackets (1” angle bracket,
3/4” wide) on opposite sides of the flue outlet: Use self-
tapping screws to secure in place. Cut a ½” (height)
and ¾” (width) notch in the front of connector (pipe,
liner or adapter that will attach to flue outlet). Install
connector into flue outlet and secure to angle brackets
using machine screws. Seal around connection with
furnace cement.
