INSERT VENT CONNECTION
Move the insert close to its final position inside the wood- burning fireplace. This unit is equipped with 6 levelling screws located as follows: two are on either side of the circulation blower on the rear panel; four are located front and back on either side beneath the log support. Level using four of the levelling screws. See Figure 1a. Levelling the unit will eliminate rocking or excessive noise when the fan is in operation. Once the unit is level, move it partially into place within the fireplace to allow for all connections to be made. It is not practical to level the insert once the it has been installed. Determine the required depth prior to in- stalling the unit and adjust the four levelling screws accord- ingly.
CHIMNEY CONNECTION
Chimney installation must conform to both national and local code requirements. The chimney must be lined with one 2" or 3" diameter liner for intake and one 3" diameter liner for exhaust. The minimum and maximum vent lengths are 10 and 35 feet respectively. Recommended Continental kits come in 3 lengths: While the liners must be continuous from the fireplace to the terminal, to achieve the needed length, they may be coupled, using an aluminium coupler, provided installation is sealed & secured.

We recommend that exhaust vents that pass through unheated spaces, such as a garage or attic, be wrapped in a protective sleeve to minimize condensa- tion and reverse flow symptoms. See Trouble Shooting for details.
This unit is approved for use with a 2" liner for air intake and a 3" liner for exhaust. For best performance, however, it is recommended to use two 3" liners.
If a 2" liner is used for the intake, it is necessary to
adjust the primary air shutter. See "Air Shutter Settings" | ||

1. OUTSIDE: Slip one | ||
| ||
end of a liner a minimum |
| |
of 2" over one of the |
| |
collars of the terminal. Se- |
| |
cure using 3 screws. Then |
| |
seal the joint and screw |
| |
heads with high tempera- |
| |
ture sealant. Repeat with |
| |
the other liner. |

NOTE: We recommend that the other end of the exhaust liner be marked to eliminate the exhaust liner being con- nected to the intake collar at the unit.
2.Gently stretch the liners to the required lengths and in- sert into the chimney. Place the terminal onto the top of the chimney cap and fit the flashing plate to suit. Make weather tight by sealing with caulking (not supplied) and fasten to the chimney with screws and plugs (not supplied)
3.INSIDE: Attach and secure the flex liners to the vent connection assembly using the same procedure as be- fore, ensuring that the marked exhaust liner is attached to the exhaust collar.

5.Reaching in through the insert, manoeuvre the vent con- nection assembly through the openings in the firebox top, taking care not to damage the gasket. In case of a low ceiling fireplace, the extension should be removed and reinstalled after the vent connection is secured to the fire- box. Attach the restrictor plate to the centre stud and se- cure the assembly using the three studs and
