previous section (page 7) of this installation instruction |
booklet. |
3. Wear gloves during installation in case of sharp edges on |
the stove and it’s parts |
Consult your dealer for the correct attachment piece. Compare lintel depth to the distance from the flue collar opening to the fireplace to determine if this caution per- tains to your installation. If there is sufficient clearance, a flue offset may also be used. Consult your dealer.
5.Open or remove the existing fireplace damper. Make sure the damper cannot fall closed.
6.Install the two 1/2” x 3” (13mm x 76mm) leveling bolts
7.Position the insert in the center of the fireplace opening and push it back until the surround brackets are approxi- mately 2” (51mm) away from the fireplace front.
8.Install the side surround panels and push the insert up snug against the fireplace face. Then with the location selected remove the surround panels and level the stove with the leveling bolts using a 3/4” (19mm) socket, exten- sions (to reach the bolt head), and a ratchet.

4. Determine the depth of the fireplace lintel. The lintel is |
the masonry area over the fireplace opening, and is sup- |
ported by a noncombustible plate, usually of steel. The |
depth may vary from a single brick width (4”/102mm) |
to that of several brick. If any portion of the flue collar |
opening on top of the insert (as shown in the diagram |
below) will project under the lintel area, a deflector plate |
must be mechanically attached to the fireplace insert to |
divert heat and gases away from the lintel. |
