Remove the existing chimney cap and install a stainless steel

liner into the chimney (if a special section has been used or

drilled to attach to the insert, it must be the bottom piece).

The next piece should be a dripless slip joint; followed by

the rest of the chimney liner. Fasten the chimney at the top

when it is positioned so that the slip joint will allow the lowest

piece to slide up enough to clear the insert during installa-

tion. Insulate the top four to six feet between the liner and

the chimney to prevent heat loss. Install the cap and flash

if necessary to prevent water or creosote from entering the

chimney’s venting system.

From inside the fireplace firebox, attach any adapters or

flue offsets and slide the liner up as far as necessary for the

bottom piece to clear the insert during installation.

Place the insert into the fireplace, making sure to center it

side to side. Slide the insert in until the surround mounts are

approximately 1/2” (13mm) from the face of the fireplace

where the surround panels cover.

Lower the chimney and make attachment to the insert. Level

the stove by using a 3/4” socket and a long extension and

adjusting the bolts on either side of the insert.

Install the side surround panels with the screws supplied.

Push the insert in until there is approximately a 1/4” (6mm)

gap between the back of the surround panels and the face

of the fireplace. Before installing the top surround panel,

make sure all connections are tight and that no part of the

insert or chimney is touching the firebox or chimney in the

fireplace. There must be a minimum of 1” (25mm) clearance

between the stove and the zero clearance fireplace. Install

the top surround panel.

If additional support is necessary, factory punched holes

in the front corners of the bottom air chamber will accept

leveling legs. Carefully measure the distance from the hearth

protection to the bottom of the stove. Use 3/8” diameter

bolts that are 1/2” (13mm) longer that the distance just

measured. Thread a nut onto the the bolt approximately 1”

(25mm). Lift the stove slightly and insert a bolt into each

hole and then thread the nut up the bolt until the front is

securely supported. Install another nut onto the bolt through

the air space in the stove and tighten securely. If desired an

insert front support, IFS2101, is available to fill the space

between the insert and the hearth protection.

Install the brick and baffle as per Page 6.
