FIREPLACE INSERT INSTALLATION CONTINUED……

The Countryside Model 3502 Fireplace Insert requires a fireplace shroud for proper installation. The shroud is designed to slip over the stove-top between the front and back hopper lids. Shrouds can be customized for particular installations (custom order).

1)Position unit so that the shroud can be slid over the top lid behind the sliding draft control knob (located on the left side of the unit). Alternate Method: Open the back lid, slide shroud over sides, slide onto front lid, close back lid, slide onto back lid.

2)Attach 3” flex pipe connector to the 3” exhaust tube on the back of the unit. Allow enough flex pipe to pull the unit out of the fireplace opening for maintenance but be careful not to crimp pipe when pushing insert into place.

3)You may silicone around the fireplace shroud connecting it to the stove or leave the shroud loose for easy removal during vent cleaning. This will have to be done after pushing unit into place. Be sure to route the stove plug-in-cord through the shroud before pushing the unit into place.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

At least once a year the chimney and smoke chamber must be inspected and cleaned. The fireplace insert will have to be removed for the purpose of inspecting the fireplace insert and the chimney. The buildup of fly-ash in the chimney pipe will cause the unit to operate inefficiently. Continued use will cause malfunction of the unit. Venting should be checked at least monthly

POWER CORD ACCESS

To Remove the Fireplace Insert:

Disconnect the power supply, slide the insert forward leaving the shroud in place and being careful not to dislodge the chimney flex pipe, open the clean-out to empty the fly-ash, inspect chimney conditions and connections, clean as needed, slide insert back into place, make sure that all chimney connections are in place and then re-connect the power supply.

It is important to do regular cleaning and maintenance to an insert as the venting is long and will build up with fly-ash.
