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.

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 Na-
tional, 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 23-1/2" (597 mm)
HEIGHT 19-7/8" (505 mm)
DEPTH 15" (381 mm)
Chimney height 15'(4.5m) (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: where a listed stainless steel rigid or exible
liner extends from the Inser t ue collar to the top of the chimney.
Direct Flue Connection: where a listed stainless steel rigid
or exible liner extends from the Insert ue collar to the rst
chimney ue liner.
Note: A clean-out door may be required under local codes,
when a direct 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 dif cult start-ups and smoking out the door.
