9.Install the completed frame/surround assembly into the firebox and level/plumb the wing to the fireplace face using the leveling bolts as jacks.
* Ash protection must be used from hearth opening to 6" in front of door glass and 6" to each side of the stove body to protect any combustibles from hot ashes. A minimum size will be 16.5" deep by 30" wide and be made of a non- combustible material or meet UL approval.

10.Test fit the cast ash lip (See fig. 25) on the shell frame mounting rails. The ash lip should slide on these side rails without lifting upward off of the rails as the ash lip is slid inward. A small clearance of about 1/16" is an ideal space between the legs of the ash lip and the hearth. This cast ash lip is a decorative part that does not and should not support any weight.
11.Tighten the (2) 1/2" threaded wedging rods up against the lintel of the fireplace opening. It is also recommended to use some form of anchoring screws through the bottom of the shell into the hearth. There are up to 5 holes provided. Note: It is a good idea to check the ash lip again. The frame may have shifted when the final anchoring was completed. See fig. 26.
12.Complete the flue piping, and outside air piping, if used. Make sure the damper area is sealed.
CAUTION: IF THE STAINLESS STEEL FLUE PIPE DOES NOT EXTEND FAR ENOUGH ABOVE THE OLD DAMPER OPENING, MAKE SURE THE FIBERGLASS INSULATION DOES NOT EXTEND UPWARD AND COVER THE PIPE OUTLET.
WARNING DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO ANY AIR DIS- TRIBUTION DUCT OR SYSTEM.
13.If a rear exit flue configuration is used, with or without outside air, make sure the flue pipe termination clearances are followed as per the manufacturers recommendations.
16.Place the stove body on the mounting shell gasketed rails and insert the body into the opening far enough that it can't tip out. Note: A service rail kit (part #
Ash lip
17.Complete the following electrical connections (Caution: mounting
Disconnect the power cord.) There are 5 connections that rails
must be completed. See Fig. 33 & 34.

Flue Pipe Stub Assembly
There are three different diameter flue pipe stub assemblys.
1. The unit comes standard with the largest for use with 4”
stainless steel flex pipe.
2.Part
3.Part #
The flue stub assembly base is a round plate which al- lows it to swivel to allow the flue pipe to exit the mount- ing frame in other positions rather than straight up. See fig. 28.
14.Install the flue pipe insulation wrap. See Fig. 27. This ceramic insulation is precut to form around the flue pipe stub, to reduce heat transfer into the area around the rear of the hopper and motor area. This insulation must be installed in all configurations, even if a rear discharge is used. See Fig. 29.

insulation wrapped around the flue pipe | Twisted tie wire |

With larger flue pipes this bottom edge of the insulation will need to be trimmed to complete the wrap.
