Full Flue Liner -(Required in Canada)
1) Measure the chimney height from the top of the exist-
ing ue to the oor of the hearth. This will allow extra
length of liner for ashing and rain cap.
2) Feed the stainless steel liner from top of the chimney,
through the damper area and into the replace cav-
ity.
3) Attach a stove connector to the bottom of the liner.
4) Push the Insert into position inside the replace and
attach the connector to the stove collar. Use the rear
adjusting legs to level the Insert.
Note: For better access, the top of the casing may be
removed (Fig. #4). If it is necessary to get access to the
connector pipe through the ue outlet of the Insert, the
baffle can be removed (see Baffle Removal section).
5) Measure, trim and shape a top ashing to t the exist-
ing chimney ue. Plan for a 1” to 1-1/2” overlap on
each side. Place ashing over top of the liner and
seat rmly against the tile.
6) Screw ashing collar to liner. Caulk gap around ash-
ing with RTV silicone.
7) Attach a rain cap to the end of the liner. A storm collar
may be used if desired.
Consult your local Dealer about relining your replace
chimney.

Into a Factory Built Fireplace
Your Insert may be installed into a factory built replace
(size permitting) with the following requirements:
1) Inspect your replace for damage or other physical
defects. The replace must be in good working condi-
tion. If in doubt about its condition, seek professional
advice. Check for creosote build up or other obstruc-
tions inside the chimney, especially if it has not been
in use for some time. Before installing, clean your
chimney system thoroughly.
2) A full stainless steel rigid or exible ue liner meeting
type HT requirements (2100°F) per 1777 (U.S.) or
ULC S635 (Canada) must be used for both safety and
performance. The liner must be securely attached to
the Insert ue collar and the chimney top.
3) The surround must be sealed to the replace front
or the damper area around the chimney liner must
be sealed to prevent room air entering the chimney
cavity of the replace.
4) The air ow within and around the replace must
not be altered by the installation of the Insert (i.e. no
blockage of louvers or cooling air inlet or outlet ports).
This includes the circulating air chambers in a steel
replace or metal heat circulator.
5) Alteration of the replace in any manner is not permit-
ted with the following exceptions:
a: external trim pieces which do not affect the opera-
tion of the replace may be removed and stored on
or within the replace for re-assembly if the Insert is
removed.
b: the chimney damper may be removed to install
the liner.
