(B) must be removed. The smoke shelf (C),
internal baffles (D), metal screen (E), glass

B Install the pellet vent through the existing chimney, making sure to seal all joints. A
cover plate is required at the top of the chimney and must be sealed with silicone. Take
into consideration the optional exhaust vent configurations (horizontal or vertical) when
installing the vent. Install the outside air connection (if applicable).
C Install the optional igniter if it is being used. If the fireplace is stepped down, insert two
leveling bolts (included with the owner's pack) into the threaded nuts at the bottom rear of
the baseplate. Then adjust the bolts to the same height the fireplace is stepped down to.
If the fireplace is elevated, follow the directions for using the optional front support in the
section "Optional Equipment" or use a pair of front legs if the height is correct.
D Place the insert into the fireplace. The outside air connection may need to be attached
before the insert is fully in place.
NOTE: Do not pick the insert up by the hopper or any other internal component.
E Attach the pellet vent to the insert by reaching over the top or to the right of the insert.
Screw the pellet vent to the exhaust tube and seal the joint.
F Install the panels and brass trim to complete the installation. Read the section "Operating
the Heater" prior to plugging in the insert and operating.
