Safety
Clearances
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLING AND
USING THIS APPLIANCE. FAILURE TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS MAY 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 fi 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 fi re may result. For your safety, follow the installation directions. Consult local building or fi re offi cials about
restrictions and installation inspection requirements in
your area.
The services of competent installer, certifi ed by the Wood
Energy Technical program (WETT) - in Canada, Hearth
Education Foundation (HEARTH) - in U.S.A. (or equivalent)
are strongly recommended.

Installation
Your Insert is designed to be installed into a masonry
or factory built zero-clearance fi replace. The masonry
fi 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 fi 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 fi replace is required to have the following minimum
sizes:
WIDTH (at front) 34-1/2" (876 mm)
WIDTH (at rear) 26-1/2" (673 mm)
HEIGHT 23-1/8" (587 mm)
DEPTH 18" (778 mm)

Rigid or Flex Liner
Full Flue Liner

Mantel or

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 fi replace for cracks, loose mortar or other
physical defects. If repairs are required, they should be
completed before installing your insert.
The fi 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 fi 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 fi 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 fl ue connection that are acceptable in most areas are:
Full Flue Liner: where a listed stainless steel rigid or
fl exible liner extends from the Insert fl ue collar to the top
of the chimney.
Direct Flue Connection: where a listed stainless steel
rigid or fl exible liner extends from the Insert fl ue collar to
the fi rst chimney fl ue liner.
Note: A clean-out door may be required under local
codes, when a direct fl 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 start-ups and smoking out the door.

Full Flue Liner - (Required in
Canada)
Fig. # 3
Direct Flue Connection
1) Measure the chimney height from the top of the existing fl ue to the fl oor of the hearth. This will allow extra
length of liner for fl ashing and rain cap.
2) Feed the stainless steel liner from top of the chimney,
through the damper area and into the fi replace cavity.
3) Attach a stove connector to the bottom of the liner.
4) Push the Insert into position inside the fi 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 re-
moved (Fig. #4). If it is necessary to get access to the
connector pipe through the fl ue outlet of the Insert, the
baffl e can be removed (see Baffl e Removal section).
5) Measure, trim and shape a top fl ashing to fi t the existing
chimney fl ue. Plan for a 1” to 1-1/2” overlap on each
side. Place fl ashing over top of the liner and seat fi rmly
against the tile.
6) Screw fl ashing collar to liner. Caulk gap around fl 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 fi replace
chimney.
Direct Flue Connection
1) Measure from the fi rst chimney fl ue liner to the top of
the Insert. Allow extra length of liner to insert into fl ue
tile.
2) Feed the stainless steel liner through the damper area
and into the fi rst chimney fl ue tile. Seal around pipe.
Note: A clean-out door may be required under local
codes, when a direct fl ue connection is used. Consult
local codes.
3) Push the Insert into position inside the fi 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 fl ue outlet of the Insert, the
baffl e can be removed (see Baffl e Removal section).

Into a Factory Built Fireplace
Your Insert may be installed into a factory built fi replace
(size permitting) with the following requirements:
1) Inspect your fi replace for damage or other physical
defects. The fi 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 fl exible fl 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 fl ue collar and the chimney top.
3) The surround must be sealed to the fi replace front or the
damper area around the chimney liner must be sealed
to prevent room air entering the chimney cavity of the
fi replace.
4) The air fl ow within and around the fi 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 fi replace
or metal heat circulator.
5) Alteration of the fi replace in any manner is not permitted
with the following exceptions:
a: external trim pieces which do not affect the operation
of the fi replace may be removed and stored on or within
the fi replace for re-assembly if the Insert is removed.
b: the chimney damper may be removed to install the
liner.
