•This insert is listed to ASTM E 1509 Standard and is approved for installation into listed factory-built zero clearance fi replaces listed to UL 127 conforming to the following specifi cations and instructions:

•The original factory-built clearance fi replace chimney cap must be re-installed after installing the approved chimney liner meeting type UL 103 HT requirements (2100°F) per UL 1777.

•If the chimney is not listed as meeting HT requirements, or if the factory built fi replace was tested prior to 1998, a full height listed chimney liner must be installed from the appliance fl ue collar to the chimney top.

•The liner must be securely attached to the insert fl ue collar and the chimney top.

•The air fl ow of the factory-built zero-clearance fi replace system must not be altered. The fl ue liner top support attachment must not reduce the air fl ow for the existing air-cooled chimney system.

•No dilution air is allowed to enter the chimney.

2.Seal damper area of chimney around chimney connector with a high temperature sealant or seal insert against the face of the fi replace.

3.Both methods must be removable and replaceable for cleaning and re-installation.
