PRELIMINARY CHECKS:
*A preliminary check of the chimney should be made. Check for any obstructions, cracks, or deterioration. If there is any evidence of deterioration of any kind, repairs should be made before installation. Also check for excess creosote build up and clean if necessary. If a stainless steel liner system is being used, install according to the liner manufacturer’s instructions.
*Make sure the damper in your fireplace is in the full open position or removed before installing the insert. Also make sure there is no danger of the damper handle closing accidentally or that installation of the insert would bump the handle closed.
*Double check the drop in the fireplace from the hearth measured down to the bottom of the firepit are. Check to make sure you have the proper height roller or pipe (see fig. 6) needed to roll the insert into place. Option: 2– 3/8” N.C. bolts of appropriate lengths may be screwed into the threaded holes at the insert bottom rear corners for the “drop” in the firepit area if necessary. A piece of sheet metal laid in the firepit bottom will be helpful so the bolt heads can slide easily as the insert is being pushed in.
*Determine the position of the faceplate.
