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.

Maintenance Checks
Check the following parts for damage such as cracks, excessive corrosion, burned out sections and
excessive warping: (See website for descriptions and more detail)
Weekly:
- Firebrick - Visual, for cracking.
- Door Gasket - sagging, placement, damage.
Monthly
- Brick rail tabs and brick rails.
- Air riser tube in the back of the rebox.
- Back side of airwash chamber.
- Baffle locking pin.
- Boost tube cover.
When Cleaning the
Chimney System:
- Top baffle board/blanket.
- Baffle.
- Top heat shield and mounting bolt.
- Baffle Gasket.
- Brick Rails.
- Manifold.
- Some warping of the baffle is normal(up to 1/4” or .65cm).
- Replace if the baffle has permanent warping greater than this or has cracking or breakage.
- Please contact your Dealer if you experience any of the damage listed above. Continuing to operate
your stove with broken parts may accelerate damage to other parts and may void your warranty
Blowers:
- The blowers should be cleaned out a minimum every six months by using a vacumn on the blower
intakes to remove any dust and debris. See “Fan Speed Controller Relocation” section on page 9,
steps 1 & 2, for how to remove the panels and access the blowers.

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 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.

Fireplace Speci cations
Your replace is required to have the following minimum sizes:
WIDTH (at front) 23 3/4" (602.44 mm)
WIDTH (at rear) 21-3/4" (552.5 mm)
HEIGHT 21" (533.4 mm)
DEPTH 18" (457.2 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.
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: (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: 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.

Rigid or Flex Liner

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
start-ups 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.
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) 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: For better access, the top of the casing may be re-
moved (Fig. #3). 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
should be used.
Consult your local Dealer about relining your replace chimney.
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 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 removed
(Fig. #3). 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 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.
