BEFORE INSTALLING AND USING THIS APPLIANCE.
The installation of Smoke and Carbon Monoxide detectors
along with a minimum of a five pound fire extinguisher is
highly recommended in any home. When you first fire up
your CHALET 1600I WOOD Fireplace Insert, you may
notice the smoke detectors operating more frequently.
This may be due to the curing of stove paint or oils from
manufacturing or fumes caused by accidentally leaving
the door open. Do not disconnect the detectors.
Consult local building or fire officials about restrictions and
installation inspection and permit requirements in your
area. Let your home insurance company know that you
plan to install this CHALET 1600I WOOD Fireplace Insert
in your home.
Please read this entire manual before you install and use
this CHALET 1600I WOOD Fireplace Insert in your home.
Failure to follow instructions may result in property dam-
age, bodily injury or even death.
Install and use only in accordance with manufacturer’s
installation and operating instructions. CHALET 1600I
WOOD Fireplace Insert is designed to be installed into a

the chimney and fireplace inspected and swept prior to
installing the Insert to be sure that the chimney/fireplace

ing another appliance.
The chimney damper may be removed or lock in the open
position to install the chimney liner. Check local codes
first.
A permanent metal warning label must be attached to
the back of the fireplace stating that the fireplace may
have been altered and may be unsafe to use without
the insert.
Do not use unlabelled parts, or substitute parts made for
another chimney system.
Install only to liner/chimney manufacturer's installation
instructions.
The chimney must be suitable for wood burning use.
Check for creosote build up or other obstructions.
The insert is very heavy and will require two or more peo-
ple to move it into position. Be sure to protect your hearth extension with a heavy blanket or carpet scrap during the
installation.
This fireplace insert must be installed with a continuous
chimney liner of 6” diameter extending from the fireplace
insert to the top of the chimney. The chimney liner must
conform to the Class 3 requirements of CAN/ULC-S635,

highest point where it passes through the roof and at least
2 ft. (.6m) higher than the highest part of the roof or struc-
