Section M– K-300 Installation Instructions (continued…)

Installation Procedure:

1.Protect the hearth with a carpet or some soft material so the insert will not damage the hearth.

2.Set the insert on the hearth by dolly or some other means.

3.Place the roller about 6 inches back from the hearth in the firepit.

4.Center the insert and roll into the fireplace all the way to the back wall.

5.Position the faceplate pieces (left, right, and top) against the fireplace wall and check for fit. Make sure there is enough faceplate covering the fireplace brick to cover the opening. If the faceplate is too narrow, optional widths are available. Contact your dealer.

6.Mark the faceplate position on your insert sides and top.

Attaching the faceplate:

1.After marking for the faceplate, pull the insert out enough to attach the fasteners.

2.Reposition the faceplate back to the insert in the marked locations.

3.Attach the faceplate pieces with supplied self-drilling, self-tapping fasteners.

4.Place fiberglass insulation around the faceplate back to seal it against the fireplace brick. Note: Construction grade fiberglass building insulation may be used (make sure there

is no paper barrier attached.)

5.Assemble 3 piece gold trim kit and slide down over surround from the top (faceplate fits into 1/8” groove on gold trim interior).

6.Roll or slide insert back until faceplate contacts fireplace face. Check and make sure insulation is sealing up all gaps behind faceplate.

7.Check final non-combustible clearance at insert front. You must have 18” of non- combustible hearth in front of your K-300. If not, a hearth pad extension of 3/8” minimum thickness must be installed (brick, tile, metal, stone, etc.).

8.Your K-300 insert is now ready for operation. Be sure and check the operation and maintenance section of this manual before operation. Contact your dealer if you have any questions.
