designation similar to R-value (thermal resistance)
or k-factor (thermal conductivity).
Floor protector listed to UL1618.
Clearance diagram for Installations
Minimum Hearth Extension for the front
(E) and sides (F) are measured from the
fuel door opening.
HOW TO DETERMINE IF ALTERNATE FLOOR PROTECTION MATERIALS ARE ACCEPTABLE
The specifi ed fl oor protector should be 3/8"
(18mm) thick material with a K - factor of 0.84.
The proposed alternative is 4" (100mm) brick
with a C-factor of 1.25 over 1/8" (3mm) mineral
board with a K-factor of 0.29.
Step (a):
Use formula above to convert specifi cation
to R-value.
R = 1/k x T = 1/0.84 x .75 = 0.893.
Step (b):
Calculate R of proposed system.
4" brick of C = 1.25, therefore
Rbrick = 1/C = 1/1.25 = 0.80
1/8" mineral board of k = 0.29, therefore
Rmin.bd. = 1/0.29 x 0.125 = 0.431
Total R = Rbrick + Rmineral board =
0.8 + 0.431 = 1.231.
Step (c):
Compare proposed system R of 1.231 to
specifi ed R of 0.893. Since proposed system
R is greater than required, the system is
acceptable.

INSTALLING YOUR INSERT
Your insert is very heavy and will require two or three people to move it into position. The insert can be made lighter by removing the cast iron
door by opening it and lifting it off its hinges. Be sure to protect your hearth extension with a heavy blanket or carpet scrap during the installation.
Evaluate your minimum cavity opening. If the cavity height lends itself to conduct the install without removing the fl ue collar, then just slide the unit into place
and position the liner within the fl ue collar and secure.
If the cavity dictates the fl ue collar needs to be removed or the optional offset fl ue adaptor is required, please follow the steps below.
1. Remove door, manual package, and bricks - see instructions in manual.
2. Remove Bypass Rod - turn counter clockwise.

INSTALLATION INTO A MASONRY FIREPLACE
The insert must be installed as per the requirements of your local inspection
authority. A full fl ue liner is required in Canada and the US with this ap-
pliance as it has a catalytic combustor.
1) Positive Flue
Connection
with Cleanout
The installation of a full liner not only increases the safety of your insert by
directing the hot gases up the fl ue, but will also help increase the unit's effi ciency and decrease creosote deposits in the chimney.
STEP-BY-STEP INSTALLATION INTO A
FACTORY BUILT FIREPLACE
1. When installed in a factory built fi replace, a full stainless steel rigid or
fl exible fl ue liner is mandatory, for both safety and performance purposes.
When a fl ue or liner is in use, the insert is able to breathe better by allowing
a greater draft to be created. The greater draft can decrease problems
such as, diffi cult start-ups, smoking out the door, and dirty glass.
2. In order to position the fl ue liner, the existing rain cap must be removed
from your chimney system. In most cases the fl ue damper should also
be removed to allow passage of the liner.
3. In most cases opening the existing spark screens fully should give enough
room for the insert installation. If it does not, remove and store.
4. If the fl oor of your fi replace is below the level of the fi replace opening,
adjust the insert's levelling bolts to accommodate the difference. When
additional shimming is required, use non-combustible masonry or steel
shims.
5. Measure approximately the alignment of the fl ue liner with the position of
the smoke outlet hole on the insert to check for possible offset. If an offset
is required, use a proper stainless steel unit available with the chimney
liner.
6. Once the above items have been checked, slide your insert into position
after fi rst positioning the fl ue liner and offset if required. (Re-install raincap
at completion of installation).
NOTE: Refer to "Requirements for Installing Solid-fuel Inserts in Factory-
built Fireplaces" section for the requirements for installing solid
fuel inserts in factory built fi replaces.
When a connected fl ue or liner is in use, the inser t is able to “breathe” better by
allowing a greater draft to be created. The greater draft can decrease problems
such as, diffi cult start-ups, smoking out the door, blocked catalyst,unburned
wood, and dirty glass.
