Provide adequate ventilation air.
Provide adequate accessibility clearance for servicing

FIGURES 1a-c
Clean out ashes from the inside of the wood-burning fi replace. 
Make sure that the chimney and wood-burning fi replace 
are in a clean and sound condition and constructed of non-
combustible materials. If necessary have any repair work done 
by a qualifi ed person before installing the insert. Remove the 
existing fi replace damper or lock into an open position. 
Using screws, attach the fi replace warning tag (W385-0199) 
to the inside of the fi rebox of the fi replace into which the insert 
is being installed.
The sheet-metal parts of the fi replace, in which the gas fi re-
place insert is to be installed, must not be cut.
If the wood-burning factory-built fi replace has no gas access 
hole(s) provided, an access hole of 1½ inch or less may be 
drilled through the lower sides or bottom of the fi replace in 
a proper workman like manner. This access hole must be 
plugged with non-combustible insulation after the gas supply 
line has been installed.
Ensure that existing chimney cleanouts fi t properly.
The refractory, glass doors, screen rails, screen mesh and log 
grates may be removed from the fi replace before installing 
the gas fi replace insert.
Smoke shelves, shields and baffl es may be removed if at-
tached by mechanical fasteners.
The ventilation openings in the fi replace may be obstructed 
by the backer plates, aluminium trim etc. but these parts are 
not to be applied so as to have an airtight seal.
