MASONRY FIREPLACE INSTALLATION - INSERT:
Unless you are experienced, we recommend installation by your dealer or a
professional installer.
It is recommended that you install the
decorative plates (if purchased) into the
shrouds before installing the unit. Refer to
“INSTALLATION OF PODS AND DECORATIVE PLATES -
INSERT”.
Install only in a masonry replace at least 25” (635
mm) wide, 22” (560 mm) high and 14” (356 mm)
deep with a good-condition chimney at least 15 ft
(4.6 m) high, both of which have been constructed
in accordance with the building code. Be sure the
replace and chimney are clean and sound without
any cracks or loose mortar. Do not remove any bricks
or mortar from the replace.
If there is a combustible oor in front of the masonry
replace, the replace insert must be 8” (203 mm)
above the combustible oor, and oor protection must
be provided 18” (457 mm) in front of the replace
insert and 8” (203 mm) to each side of the unit.
1. Remove any replace damper or fasten in a
permanent open position.
2. (IN CANADA) The stove is vented with a 6”
stainless steel liner that goes directly to the top of
the chimney and is covered with a rain cap. The
chimney top is sealed with a ashing or steel plate
that supports the weight of the chimney liner. The
installation must conform to the liner’s manufacturer’s
instructions.
This replace must be installed with a continuous
liner of 6” diameter (CANADA ONLY) extending
from the replace insert to the top of the
chimney. The chimney liner must conform to the
class 3 requirements of ULC-S635 Standard for
Lining Systems for Existing Masonry or Factory-
Built Chimneys and Vents, or ULC-S640 Standard
for Lining Systems for New Masonry Chimneys.
(IN U.S.A.)The appliance when installed, must
follow local building codes, in the absence of
local building codes, with the current NFPA 211
Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents, and
Solid Fuel-Burning Appliances.
