The Fireplace insert model requires a surround faceplate and a pedestal. When installing this unit, ensure that
the pedestal is removed from the inside of the hopper and installed on the bottom of the unit (see “Installation of
Fireplace Insert Pedestal and Leveling Legs” and “Assembly and Installation of Insert Surround Panels”.)
A noncombustible hearth pad must cover combustible
flooring underneath, as well as 6” (150 mm) in front of
the heater and 6” (150 mm) to the side of the heater
1. Install the hearth pad.
2. Lock the fireplace damper in the open position.
3. Install a positive flue connector at the fireplace
damper.
4. Connect a tee or 90° degree elbow to the exhaust
pipe.
5. This fireplace insert must be installed with a
continuous chimney liner of 3 or 4” diameter
extending from the fireplace insert to the top of
the chimney. The liner must conform to type 3
requirements of CAN/ULC S635.
6. (Recommended) Install fresh air intake either
through the back of the fireplace or through the
positive flue connector.
When installing the insert into a masonry fireplace DO
NOT remove any bricks or masonry, with the following
exception; masonry or steel, including the damper
plate, may be removed from the smoke shelf and
adjacent damper frame if necessary to accommodate
a chimney liner. Provided that their removal will not
weaken the structure of the fireplace and chimney, and
will not reduce protection for combustible materials to
less than that required by the national building code.
When installing the fireplace insert into a zero clearance
fireplace, DO NOT cut or modify any factory firebox
parts. If the fireplace insert does not fit into a zero
clearance fireplace we recommend you use an ENVIRO
freestanding model and install as a hearth mounted
unit. Install a 3” (76 mm) flex pipe from the stove to
the top of the chimney.
