Clearances

doors), 36" of the front of the heater.

Insert must be placed a minimum 9" from a side wall (or combustible protruding more than
3/4").

Mantel Requirements

The mantel (combustible or non-combustible) must be a minimum13" above the hopper
lid (NOTE: measure clearance to the location where the mantel protrudes 3/4" or greater).

Hearth Requirements

The non-combustible hearth must extend 6" to the front and 6" to each side of the insert
(measure to the hopper lid).

Facing Requirements

The non-combustible facing must extend 6" to the side and 10" above the hopper lid.

Placing the Insert

The insert must be placed within an undamaged masonry or factory built (metal) fireplace.
Loose bricks or other damage must be fixed. Clean the fireplace before installing.

A 3/8" gap must be allowed between the surround panels and the face of the fireplace.

Run the power cord to the side
along the front of the fireplace
(do not route it under the insert).

The vent should
be routed to the
fireplace prior to
installing the
insert. See the
section "Vent

details on vent
location.

Use the leveling bolts for
fireplaces with recessed floors
(included with the insert).
Screw them into the baseplate
from below.

The insert must protrude 9-3//8"
onto the hearth for the panels to
fit correctly.

9-3/8"

Apply the "This fireplace has been
altered..." sticker to the fireplace. You
may wish to place it in a location where it
