BRICK FLUE BAFFLE &
SECONDARY AIR TUBE
INSTALLATION
The fl ue baffl e system located in the upper area 
of the fi rebox is removable to make cleaning 
your chimney system easier. The brick baffl es 
must be installed prior to your fi rst fi re.  Smoke 
spillage and draft problems may occur if the 
baffl es are improperly positioned.  Check the 
position of the brick baffl es on a regular basis as 
they can be dislodged if too much fuel is forced 
into the fi rebox. 
FIREBRICK ASSEMBLY
Firebrick is included to extend the life of your 
insert and radiate heat more evenly. Check to 
see that all fi rebricks are in their correct posi-
tions and have not become misaligned during 
shipping. 
DOOR HANDLE
Attach spring handle by rotating counter clock-
wise onto rod. Ensure that the rod fi ts into the 
entire length of the spring handle.

DRAFT CONTROL
Before establishing your fi rst fi re, it is important 
that your fully understand the operation of you 
draft control. The draft rod is on the left side of 
the Insert and it controls the intensity of the fi re 
by increasing or decreasing the amount of air 
allowed into the fi rebox. To increase your draft 
- slide left, and to decrease - slide right.
1) If the two air tubes are installed continue
on to Step 2), if not, follow the instructions 
below. Install the air tube into the holes in the 
side channels. The notch goes on the right 
hand side with the air holes facing toward 
the door. Slide the tube into the left hand 
side, as far as possible and then bring it back 
into the hole on the right hand side until it 
locks into position. If the tube will not slide 
in easily simply use a pair of vise grips or 
pliers and tap it into place with a hammer. A 
tighter fi t will ensure the tube will not move 
when the unit is burning. 
2) Slide the left baffl e brick over the front air
tube and then slide it back over the rear air 
tube.
3) Tilt the left baffl e brick up on top of the side
channel and it will leave enough room to 
position the right baffl e brick in the same 
manner as Step 1) above. Then reposition 
the left baffl e brick fl at on the air tube. 
4) Important: push both baffl e bricks so
they are tight against the side walls and 
to the back.
Note: When getting the chimney cleaned,
remove the baffl e bricks for access 
to the fl ue, then replace them when 
cleaning is completed.
As well as a primary and glass wash air system, 
the unit has a full secondary draft system that 
allows air to the induction ports at the top of the 
fi rebox, just below the fl ue baffl e.
WARNING: To build a fi re in ignorance or to 
disregard the informa tion contained in this 
section can cause serious permanent dam-
age to the unit and void your warranty.
