INTO THE FIREPLACE

The Clarity Fireplace Insert has an integrated draft hood, so a separate draft hood is not re- quired.

Some fireplace openings may be large enough to connect the draft hood to the venting after the unit has been moved to its final position. Some openings will be too small and will require that the draft hood first be connected to the venting, and then guided into position on the top of the insert as the unit is pushed back into the fireplace.

Particularly in installations with tight clearances, the procedure will be most easily accomplished if the trim and wing panels are installed as the last step.

Follow these steps:

1.Connect the Clarity Insert's detachable draft hood to the end of the venting by sliding it inside the venting, then secure it with three sheet metal screws.

2.Line up the two draft hood guides with the

fourth heat exchanger tube in on each side on the back of the stove as shown above.

3.With assistance, push the insert back into the fireplace, while at the same time pulling on the draft hood to coax it into position. Continue until both guides are far enough forward that the retainer clamps and nuts can be installed on the threaded guide bolts.

4.Tighten the nuts to secure the draft hood.

5.Adjust the rear levelling bolts until the unit is level.

6.Install the wing panels; they attach to brackets on each side of the Clarity. Install the side wing

panels first, using two 1/4-20 fasteners for each panel. Their mounting locations are near the top and bottom of the panel.

Install the top wing panel last using two 1/4-20 fasteners. The mounting holes are near the inside edge of the side wing panels.

Before tightening, make sure the outer edges of the top panel align with the edge of the side pan- els.

Brass edge trim is added as the last step of install- ing the wing panels.

7.Mount the side trim panel—each is held in place by two magnets.

Install the left side trim panel first by placing the bottom close to where it goes, then align the top and move it close to the insert body until it is held snugly by the two magnets.

The right side trim panel installs in the same fashion as the left, but the wiring (Two Amp Mate- N-Lok connectors) that serves the On-Off switch at the top of the panel and the blower speed control switch on the bottom must be connected first.

Move the right panel close enough to make the connection. Align the three wire male connector with the latch to the bottom. Push into the three wire female connector on the stove until it clicks.

Do the same with the two wire connector with the latch turned to the top. move panel into place while routing the switch wires into the opening of the wing bracket. Secure the panel.

AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT

The final step of the installation is to check the flame pattern, which should resemble the pattern illustrated in the right column.

The flames should be relatively well-defined and stable. They should be bright yellow with a blue base where attached to the burner ports, and should not look orange or sooty.

Start the fire according to the directions on page 11 and allow the heater to burn for approximately 15 minutes. The flames will increase in length and become more yellow in color as the unit heats up.

Three adjustment levers—one for each burner— are used to adjust the flames for a particular installation. They are accessible when the front control access door is opened. The levers may become hot to the touch after prolonged operation.
