Figure 4.2.
WARNING! Risk of Fire or Burns! Provide adequate
clearance around air openings and for service access.
Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be locat-
ed out of traffic and away from furniture and draperies.
• The firebrick (refractory), glass doors, screen rails, screen
mesh and log grates can be removed from a factory
built firebox in order to gain minimum gas insert opening
requirements.
• Any smoke shelves, shields and baffles may be removed
from the factory built firebox if attached with mechanical
fasteners.
• The appliance may not be placed directly on the base of
the outer wrap, a 1/4 inch airspace MUST be provided
between the insert and the floor of the outer wrap. Use
the levelling legs to raise the insert a minimum of 1/4
inch. The original fireplace may never be returned to solid
fuel in this condition. The sidewalls and top structure
of the firebox may not be altered with the exception of
removable baffles and dampers.
• The metal floor of the factory-built fireplace may be
removed to facilitate the installation of the insert.
• Cutting of any sheet metal parts of the fireplace in which
the gas fireplace insert is to be installed is prohibited,
except the floor as tested for and as noted above and in
Figure 4.1.
• A minimum 1/2 inch gap from the bottom of the
appliance to the metal floor of the factory-built firebox
is RECOMMENDED for optimal fan performance. See
side view in Figure 4.1.
• If the recommended 1/2 inch leveling leg height can not
be achieved, a section of the factory-built metal floor may

6 Installation Preparation
Prepare the existing solid fuel masonry or factory built
non-combustible firebox for installation.
A. Inspection and Cleaning
Prior to installing the gas insert:
• Have the chimney and adjacent structure inspected
and cleaned by qualified professionals. Hearth & Home
Technologies recommends that NFI or CSIA certified
professionals, or technicians under the direction of certi-
fied professionals, conduct a minimum of a NFPA 211
Level 2 inspection of the chimney.
• Replace component parts of the chimney and fireplace
as specified by the professionals.
• Ensure all joints are properly engaged and the chimney
is properly secured.
• Ensure combustible mantel and surround clearances
comply with applicable codes and regulations for solid-
fuel fireplaces. In the absence of local or regional codes,
refer to NFPA 211.
• Ensure chimney is constructed of non-combustible
materials.
• Ensure chimney is clean and in good working order.
• Ensure that all chimney cleanouts fit properly to prevent
air leakage into chimney.
B. Flue Damper
Fully lock the solid fuel fireplace’s flue damper in the open
position, OR completely remove it.
C. Gas Line
Note: If the factory built fireplace has no gas access hole
provided, an access hole of 1 inch (25 mm) diameter or
less may be drilled through the lower sides or bottom of the
firebox in a proper workmanship - like manner. This access
hole must be plugged with non-combustible insulation after
the gas supply line has been installed.
• Install gas line into firebox cavity.
• Check local codes and gas line sizing requirements
following NFPA51. See Section 9.
E. Electrical Outlet Box
An outlet box may be installed in a bottom back corner of
the existing solid fuel masonry or factory built fireplace to
permit blowers or other optional accessories to be used.
Alternatively, the supplied power cord may be routed out
onto the hearth to a nearby outlet.

Permanently attach the label with the following warning to
the inside lower back of the fireplace firebox into which the
insert is being installed. Silicone or mechanical fasteners
may be required to properly secure the label.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! This fireplace has been con-
verted for use with a gas fireplace insert only and cannot
be used for burning wood or solid fuels unless all original
parts have been replaced, and the fireplace re-approved
