Installation

MASONRY FIREPLACE INSERT INSTALLATION - FIREPLACE INSERT:

The Fireplace insert model requires a surround faceplate and a pedestal. When installing this unit, ensure that the pedestal is removed from the inside of the hopper and installed on the bottom of the unit (Refer

to INSTALLATION - INSTALLATION OF PEDESTAL AND LEVELING LEGS - FIREPLACE INSERT).

Adjust hopper height (see INSTALLATION - INSTALLING HOPPER COVER AND ADJUSTING HOPPER HEIGHT - FIREPLACE INSERT) and assemble surround panel (see Installation - INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL OF CONTROL PANEL IN THE SURROUND PANEL - FIREPLACE INSERT and Installation - ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION OF INSERT SURROUND PANELS - FIREPLACE INSERT)

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 ENVIRO freestanding model and install as a hearth mounted unit. Install a 3” (76 mm) flex pipe from

the stove to the top of the chimney (see “INSTALLATION - HEARTH MOUNT INSTALLATION - FREESTANDING”).
