accident resulting from an insert being installed on a hearth constructed of a combustible
material.
3. Inspect your fireplace flue liner to be sure it is free of any obstructions and in good
working condition.
4. Remove the existing damper from the fireplace. If this cannot be done, open the
damper and secure it so it will not close accidentally.
5. Place the insert on the hearth and slide it about one-third of the way into the opening.
6. Attach the pipe adapter to the exhaust blower with high temperature silicone and a hose
clamp. Extend and lock the five feet (5’) of pellet flex pipe into the adapter, then run the
open end of the flex pipe through the throat of the fireplace. It is necessary to block off the
open area on each side of the flex pipe with metal or flame-retardant insulation.
7. The back plate and gasket kit are standard with this unit and are required to cover the
fireplace opening. The cover plate is 32” x 46” and should overlap each side and the top of
the fireplace opening by a minimum of two inches. Refer to the drawing in this manual for
the proper method of installing the cover plate. The adhesive side of the gasket will attach to
the rear of the plate and butt against the firebrick.
8. Once the back plate has been installed, you can carefully slide the entire unit into the
fireplace opening until the plate makes solid contact with the face of the fireplace. You
should check to be sure there is a tight seal around the outside of the cover plate.
NOTE ON PARTS:
Refer to the “Replacement Parts List” in the earlier section of this manual for replacement parts
for your insert. For flex pipe, you may order Part Number PU-3060F (3” x 5’ long pellet vent flex
pipe). May also require PU-3079 or another adapter, call Customer Service at [phone] if
you have any questions or need these parts.
ACCESSORY ITEM
AC-104 Brass Trim
This kit consists of four (4) pieces of J-Channel brass trim. The brass will fit on the bottom lip
of the stove and the three outside edges of the back plate. The stove lip trim is simply matched
to the proper edge and pressed onto the stove; the back plate trim is assembled together with
the two angle clips and then slipped over the back plate. The top piece of this trim must be
twisted out to go over the top lip of the cover plate. After the screws in the angle clips are
tightened, the trim will stay in place. NOTE: For models manufactured 2001 and later, there
will be an extra piece of J-Channel trim left over (five pieces total will be in the kit).
