1. Install the hearth pad
2. Lock fireplace damper in the open position
3. Install positive flue connector at the fireplace dampers.
4. Connect a tee or 90-° degree elbow to the exhaust pipe
5. This fireplace insert must be installed with a continuous
chimney liner of 3 or 4” diameter extending from the
fireplace insert to the top of the chimney. The liner must
conform to type 3 requirements of CAN/ULC S635.
6. (Recommended) Install fresh air intake either through the
back of the fireplace or through the positive flue connector..
When installing the insert into a masonry fireplace DO NOT
remove any bricks or masonry, with the following exception;
Masonry or steel, including the damper plate, may be
removed from the smoke shelf and adjacent damper frame if
necessary to accommodate a chimney liner. Provided that
their removal will not weaken the structure of the fireplace
and chimney, and will not reduce protection for combustible
materials to less than that required by the national building
code.
When installing the fireplace insert into a zero clearance
fireplace, DO NOT cut or modify any factory firebox parts. If
the fireplace insert does not fit into a zero clearance fireplace
we recommend you use an ENVIROFIRE model FS and
install as a hearth mounted unit. Install a 3” (76 mm) flex pipe from the stove to the top of the chimney.
