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 12, 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.
DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE
SERVICING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
Fireplace Speci cations
Your replace is required to have the following minimum
sizes:
WIDTH (at front) 28" (711 mm)
WIDTH (at rear) 26" (660 mm)
HEIGHT 23-1/8" (587 mm)
DEPTH 18" (457 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:
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.
Full Flue Liner: (Fig.2, Required in Canada) 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.
SINC 250314-24 7
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.
Attach a stove connector to the bottom of the liner.
3) Remove bay top and both right & left blower covers
(Fig #4 & 6).
4) Remove casing top by removing screws on each casing
side and pulling top forward(Fig. #5).
5) Push insert into replace. Use the rear adjustment legs to
level insert. (NOTE: Adjustment legs are located in bottom
rear of insert)
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) Caulk around liner with high temp stove cement and insert
into collar. Screw in fasteners to secure.
8) Attach a rain cap to the end of the liner. A storm collar
may be used if desired.
9) Reattach casing top with screws previously removed.
Consult your local Dealer about relining your replace
chimney.

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) Remove bay top and both right & left blower covers
(Fig #4 & 6).
4) Remove casing top by removing screws on side and pulling top forward(Fig. #5).
5) Push insert into replace. Use the rear adjustment legs
