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 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.
