Installation

1.Seal all drafts and vents with non-fibrous insulation materials to prevent chimney debris from falling into the fireplace insert. Do not install into an existing fireplace that is prone to leaks or dampness.

2.Cap the top of the chimney flue to prevent rain from entering.

3.Plan your electrical power supply (refer to NOTE 1).

WARNING: To prevent personal injury you should hire a professional to cap the chimney flue or cut a hole in the existing fireplace for wiring. If you return your existing fireplace to its original use (example: wood burning), it should be inspected by the local building department prior to use to reduce the risk of fire and personal injury.
