Safety
Clearances
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLING AND
USING THIS APPLIANCE.
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 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 SolidFuel-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 Specications
Your replace is required to have the following minimum
sizes:
WIDTH (at front) 30-5/8" (777.8 mm)
WIDTH (at rear) 22-1/4" (565.2 mm)
HEIGHT 21" (533.4 mm)
DEPTH 18" (457.2 mm)

A metal tag is provided and is to be fastened to the back
wall of the replace, if the replace has been modied
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.
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:
Full Flue Liner: where a stainless steel rigid or exible
liner extends from the Insert ue collar to the top of the
chimney.
Positive Flue Connection: 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.
Pacic 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 start-ups and smoking out the door.

Full Flue Liner - (Required in Canada)
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 top of the chimney,
through the damper area and into the replace cavity.
3) Attach a stove connector to the bottom of the liner.
4) Push the Insert into position inside the replace and
attach the connector to the stove collar. Use the rear
adjusting legs to level the Insert.
Note: For better access, the top of the casing may be
removed (Fig. #4). 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).
5) 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.
6) Screw ashing collar to liner. Caulk gap around ashing
with RTV silicone.
7) Attach a rain cap to the end of the liner. A storm collar
may be used if desired.
Consult your local Dealer about relining your replace
chimney.
Direct Flue Connection
1) Measure from the rst chimney ue liner 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) 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: For better access, the top of the casing may be re-
moved (Fig. #4). 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).

Into a Factory Built Fireplace
Your Pacic 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 1777(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.
