Fireplace Pre-Installation Preparation
NOTE: LENNOX HEARTH PRODUCTS RECOMMENDS PRO-
FESSIONAL INSTALLATION BY A LICENSED AND BONDED INSTALLER. SEE YOUR DEALER FOR RECOMMENDATIONS. IMPROPER INSTALLATION OR
Remove any doors or screen materials from the fireplace opening. Remove the damper mechanism completely. Also remove grates or ember catches inside the fireplace hearth. If your fireplace is equipped with a smoke shelf or baffle and if it interfers with the installation it may be removed. Side and rear refractory may also be removed, if necessary, to facilitate installation. No modifications shall be done unless allowed on the previous list. Retain all removed parts, they must be reinstalled before the fireplace can be used in it’s
original condition.
Insert Pre-Installation Preparation
Install the two 3” (76mm) long bolts (with the head up) through the nuts attached to the insert on the lower rear corner of each side. This will allow you to level the insert when placed into the fireplace.
Measure from the front of the top surround mount to the center of the flue. Determine if there is an alignment problem in connecting a liner from the chimney to the insert’s flue. If there is an alignment problem, connection can be made using a short piece of stainless flex or a stainless steel offset box (available from your dealer). Before installing the liner, make any attachment brackets or drill any holes in the liner, offset box, or insert. Once installed, it may be difficult or impossible to drill additional holes.
