Safety
Clearances
Please read this entire manual before installation
and use of this wood burning insert. Failure to follow
these instructions could result in property damage,
bodily injury or even death.
We strongly recommend that smoke detectors be installed. If
smoke detectors have been previously installed, you may notice
that they are operating more frequently. This may be due to curing
of stove paint or fumes caused by accidentally leaving the re
door open. Do not disconnect the detectors. If necessary, relocate
them to reduce their sensitivity.
SAFETY NOTICE: If this stove is not properly installed, a
house re may result. For your safety, follow the installation
directions. Consult local building or re officials about
restrictions and installation inspection requirements in
your area.

Installation
Your Insert is designed to be installed into a masonry or factory-built,
zero-clearance wood burning replace. The masonry replace
must be built according to the requirements of the Standard of
Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents and Solid Fuel Burning appliances,
N.F.P.A. 211 (Latest Edition) or applicable National, Provincial,
State or local codes. The installation shall conform to CAN/
CSA-B365, Installation Code for Solid-Fuel-Burning Appliances
and Equipment. The factory-built, zero-clearance replace and
its chimney must be listed per UL 127 or ULC S610 standards.
Warning: Under no circumstances is this heater to be installed
in a makeshift or "temporary" manner.
DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE
SERVICING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
Fireplace Speci cations
Fig. # 2
Full Flue Liner
(Required in Canada)
Rain Cap
Stainless Steel
Rigid or Flex Liner
Your replace is required to have the following minimum sizes:
WIDTH (at front) 24 1/2" (622 mm)
WIDTH (at rear) 24" (610 mm)
HEIGHT 21" (533 mm)
DEPTH 18 1/4" (464 mm)
Chimney height 15' (minimum)
A metal tag is provided and is to be fastened to the back
wall of the replace, if the replace has been modi ed to
accommodate the insert.
Into a Masonry Fireplace
Inspect your replace for cracks, loose mortar or other physical
defects. If repairs are required, they should be completed before
installing your insert.
The replace chimney must be suitable for wood burning use.
Check for creosote build up or other obstructions, especially if it
has not been in use for some time - have chimney swept.
The existing replace damper is to be locked open or removed
completely.
WARNING: Do not remove bricks or mortar from your existing
replace.
Exception: Masonry or steel, including the damper plate, may
be removed from the smoke shelf and adjacent damper frame if
necessary to accommodate a chimney liner, provided that their
removal will not weaken the structure of the replace and chimney,
and will not reduce protection for combustible materials to less
than that required by the National Building Code.
The Insert must be installed in accordance with local and or
national building codes. The two methods of ue connection that
are acceptable in most areas are:
Mantel or
Top Facing
Full Flue Liner: (Fig.2) where a stainless steel rigid or exible liner
extends from the Insert ue collar to the top of the chimney.
Positive Flue Connection(In U.S.A. only): where a throat blocker
plate and a short connector pipe is used.
Note: A clean-out door may be required under local codes,
when a positive ue connection is used. Consult local codes.
Paci c Energy highly recommends the use of a full liner as
the safest installation and providing optimum performance.
When connected to a full liner, the Insert is able to draft
correctly and will prevent problems such as difficult startups and smoking out the door.
For difficult installations, this insert is approved for use with
a SPND.3OFFSETA - 3” ue offset box. Only this offset box is
approved for use with this insert. The use of any other offset
box may cause a hazard and/ or void any warranty.

Full Flue Liner (Required in Canada) Fig #2
This replace insert must be installed with a continuous liner
of 6” diameter extending from the replace insert to the top of
the chimney. The chimney liner must conform to the class 3
requirements of CAN/ULC-S635, Standard for Lining systems
for Existing Masonry or Factory-Built Chimneys or Vents, or
CAN/ULC-S640, Standard for lining systems for New Masonry
Chimneys. In U.S.A. liner must conform to UL1777.
Consult your local Dealer about relining your fireplace
chimney.
1) Measure the chimney height from the top of the existing ue
to the oor of the hearth. This will allow extra length of liner
for ashing and rain cap.
2) Feed the stainless steel liner from the top of the chimney,
through the damper area and into the replace cavity.
3) Attach a stove connector to the bottom of the liner, as per
the instructions provided with the chimney liner.
4) To mount optional rear leveling leg bolts, prop unit up to access
threaded inserts under rear of unit. Thread supplied bolts into
inserts, set depth to correspond to depth of replace drop.
5) Push the Insert into position inside the replace and attach
the connector to the stove collar and secure with screws.
Use the rear adjusting legs to level the Insert.
Note: To access the holes for securing connector to the stove
collar, remove the top front casing. To remove, undo the
screws located on both sides of the top front(Fig #3) then
pull casing toward you and up. Reverse these steps to install
casing top. If it is necessary to get access to the connector
pipe through the ue outlet of the Insert, the baffle can be
removed (see Baffle Removal section).
6) Measure, trim and shape a top ashing to t the existing
chimney ue. Plan for a 1” to 1-1/2” overlap on each side.
Place ashing over top of the liner and seat rmly against
the tile.
7) Screw ashing collar to liner. Caulk gap around ashing with
RTV silicone.
8) Attach a rain cap to the end of the liner. A storm collar should
be used. (Follow vent manufacturers instructions.)
Into a Factory Built Fireplace
Your Paci c Insert may be installed into a factory built replace
with the following requirements:
1) Inspect your replace for damage or other physical defects.
The replace must be in good working condition. If in doubt
about its condition, seek professional advice. Check for
creosote build up or other obstructions inside the chimney,
especially if it has not been in use for some time. Before
installing, clean your chimney system thoroughly.
2) A full stainless steel rigid or exible ue liner meeting type
HT requirements (2100°F) per UL1777(U.S.) or ULC S635
(Canada) must be used for both safety and performance.
The liner must be securely attached to the insert ue collar
and the chimney top.
3) The surround must be sealed to the replace front or the damper
area around the chimney liner must be sealed to prevent room
air entering the chimney cavity of the replace.
4) The air ow within and around the replace must not be altered
by the installation of the Insert (i.e. no blockage of louvers or
cooling air inlet or outlet ports). This includes the circulating
air chambers in a steel replace or metal heat circulator.
5) Alteration of the replace in any manner is not permitted with
the following exceptions:
a: external trim pieces which do not affect the operation of
the replace may be removed and stored on or within the
replace for re-assembly if the Insert is removed.
b: the chimney damper may be removed to install the liner.

1) Measure from the rst chimney ue liner tile to the top of the
Insert. Allow extra length of liner to insert into ue tile.
2) Feed the stainless steel liner through the damper area and
into the rst chimney ue tile. Seal around pipe.
Note: A clean-out door may be required under local codes, when
a direct ue connection is used. Consult local codes.
3) To mount optional rear leveling leg bolts, prop unit up to
access threaded inserts under rear of unit. Thread supplied
bolts into inserts, set depth to correspond to depth of replace
drop.
4) Push the Insert into position inside the replace and attach
the connector pipe to the stove collar. Use the rear adjusting
legs to level the Insert.
Note: To access the holes for securing connector to the stove
collar, remove the top front casing. To remove, undo the
screws located on both sides of the top front(Fig #3) then
pull casing toward you and up. Reverse these steps to install
casing top. If it is necessary to get access to the connector
pipe through the ue outlet of the Insert, the baffle can be
removed (see Baffle Removal section).
