The insert must be installed as per the requirements of your local inspection
authority. A full fl ue liner is required in Canada and the US with this ap-
pliance as it has a catalytic combustor.

The installation of a full liner not only increases the safety of your insert by
directing the hot gases up the fl ue, but will also help increase the unit's ef-
fi ciency and decrease creosote deposits in the chimney.
When a connected fl ue or liner is in use, the insert is able to “breathe” better by
allowing a greater draft to be created. The greater draft can decrease problems
such as, diffi cult start-ups, smoking out the door, blocked catalyst,unburned
wood, and dirty glass.
1. When installed in a factory built fi replace, a full stainless steel rigid or
fl exible fl ue liner is mandatory, for both safety and performance purposes.

2. In order to position the fl ue liner, the existing rain cap must be removed
from your chimney system. In most cases the fl ue damper should also
be removed to allow passage of the liner.
3. In most cases opening the existing spark screens fully should give enough
room for the insert installation. If it does not, remove and store.
4. If the fl oor of your fi replace is below the level of the fi replace opening,
adjust the insert's levelling bolts to accommodate the difference. When
additional shimming is required, use non-combustible masonry or steel
shims.
5. Measure approximately the alignment of the fl ue liner with the position of
the smoke outlet hole on the insert to check for possible offset. If an offset
is required, use a proper stainless steel unit available with the chimney
liner.
6. Once the above items have been checked, slide your insert into position
after fi rst positioning the fl ue liner and offset if required. (Re-install raincap
at completion of installation).
NOTE: Refer to "Requirements for Installing Solid-fuel Inserts in Factory-
built Fireplaces" section for the requirements for installing solid
fuel inserts in factory built fi replaces.
