Ensure that existing chimney cleanouts fit properly.
The refractory, glass doors, screen rails, screen mesh and log grates may be removed from the fireplace be- fore installing the gas fireplace insert.
Smoke shelves, shields and baffles may be removed if attached by mechanical fasteners.
The ventilation openings in the fireplace may be ob- structed by the backer plates, aluminium trim etc. but these parts are not to be applied so as to have an air- tight seal.
Line the chimney with a 3" or 4" diameter approved liner. With a 4" liner, an increaser must be connected between the dilution draft hood and the liner. Chimney installation must conform to both national and local code requirements. The liner must be continuous from the fireplace to the chimney cap.
Remove the securing screw from the front of the dilution plate. Push the dilution draft hood out of the securing clips and attach the liner using 3 screws equally spaced. Pack insulation around the liner at the damper area to prevent air flow from entering the chimney. Move the insert into the centre of the woodburning fireplace making sure that the dilution draft hood inserts back into its securing clips. Level using the four leveling screws located front and back on either side of the fireplace base. Leveling the insert will eliminate rocking or excessive noise when the fan is in operation. Replace the securing screw to the front of the dilution plate.

Install rigid black pipe, a flex connector, if local codes per- mit, or 1/2" type L, copper tubing with a 3/8" to 1/2" adapter and a shut off valve to the fireplace. Seal and tighten se- curely. The adapter will be required between the gas valve and the copper tubing or flex connector. Do not kink flex- ible connector! Check for gas leaks by brushing on a soap and water solution. Do not use open flame!
