9) Final check. Refer to the "Final Check"
section. Before leaving this unit with the
customer, the installer must ensure that the
appliance is fi ring correctly. This includes:
a) Clocking the appliance to ensure the
correct fi ring rate.
b) Adjusting the primary air, if required, to
ensure that the fl ame does not carbon.
Refer to the "Gas Insert Aeration
System" section.
c) Ensuring that the appliance is venting
correctly.
The E33 Gas Inserts have been tested and
approved to be vented into any masonry
fireplace or approved solid fuel burning
factory built fi replace that will allow the insert
to physically fi t into the fi rebox. Refer to the
"Minimum Fireplace Dimensions" section.
If the factory built fi replace* height is too low
for your Insert, you may remove the smoke
baffl e plate and damper from the factory
built fi replace as long as these items are
saved and are reinstalled in the event that
the Insert is removed. NOTE: Any alterations
made to the listed solid fuel burning factory
built fi replace may void the listing of the
fi replace. Cutting any sheet-metal parts of
the fi replace, in which the gas fi replace insert
is to be installed, is prohibited.
If the factory-built fi replace has no gas
access hole(s) provided, an access hole of
1.5" (37.5mm) or less may be drilled through
the lower sides or bottom of the fi rebox in
8
2) Make the gas connection. Refer to the "Gas
Connection" section.
3) Install the 3" fl ue liner to the sliding connector
plate. Refer to the "Flue Liner Installation" section.
4) Slide the unit half way into the fi replace.
5) Pull the vent connector plate through the tapered
brackets and fasten to the front plate. Refer to
Installer must mechanically attach the supplied
label to the inside of the fi rebox of the fi replace
into which the gas fi replace insert is installed.

MATERIALS
REQUIRED
No electrical power supply is required for the gas
control to operate. A 120 Volt AC power cord is
hooked up to the fan. Plug the 3 wire cord into
a suitable receptacle. Do not cut the ground
terminal off under any circumstances. When
connected with 120 volts, the appliance must be
electrically grounded in accordance with local
codes, current version of the Canadian Electrical
Code CSA C22.1 (in Canada) or in the absence
of local codes, with the National Electrical Code
ANSI/NFPA 70.
NOTE: This unit is equipped with a heat
sensor thermodisc which will prevent the
blower from operating until the unit reaches
the correct temperature.
VENTING
This appliance is designed to be attached to two
3" (76mm) co-linear aluminium fl ex running the full
length of the chimney. The fl ue length must be a
minimum length of 8 ' (2.44m) and a maximum
of 35' (10.7m). See chart above for minimum
distances from roof. Periodically check that the
vent is unrestricted.
Masonry chimneys may take various contours
which the fl exible liner will accommodate. However,
keep the fl exible liner as straight as possible,
avoid unnecessary bending.
FLUE LINER
INSTALLATION
1) Cut the fl ex liner as required.
2) Mark the end of one liner with an "E" to
indicate Exhaust.
3) Connect the other end of the above liner to the
exhaust side of the termination adaptor, seal
connection with high temperature silicone.
Secure with gear clamp.
4) Connect the 2nd liner to the inlet side of the
adaptor, seal connection with high temperature
silicone. Secure with gear clamp.

AERATION SYSTEM
The air shutter can be adjusted by moving the
adjusting wire up or down. The wire is accessed
through the bottom louver opening. Open the air
shutter for a blue fl ame or close for a yellower
fl ame. The burner aeration is factory set but may
need adjusting due to either the local gas supply
or altitude.
Minimum Air Shutter Opening:
5/16" Natural Gas
7/16" Propane
CAUTION: Carbon will be produced if air
shutter is closed too much.

GAS CONNECTION
WARNING:
Only persons licensed to work
with gas piping may make the
necessary gas connections to
this appliance.
1) If the appliance is to be installed into an existing
chimney system, thoroughly clean the masonry
or factory built fi replace.
2) The appliance is provided with an opening on
the left hand side of the control compartment.
A 3/8" NPT gas supply pipe must be brought
near this inlet hole.
3) Locate the center point where the vent will pass
through the chimney above the appliance. Move
the appliance into the exact location where it is
to be installed. Ensure that the Insert is level.
INSTALLATION
5) Install fl ashing.
6) Insert both liners into chimney , passing through
the damper opening.
7) Install termination cap.
8) Connect the marked end of the liner to the
exhaust collar of the vent connector plate
marked with an "E", seal connection with high
temperature silicone. Secure with gear clamp.
9) Connect the 2nd liner to the intake collar, seal
connection with high temperature silicone.
Secure with gear clamp.
NOTE:
10) Align vent connector plate with guides on unit.
11) Slide unit into masonry opening, while ensuring
that the slot at the rear of the connector plate
mates up with the hold down plate on the unit.
THE APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE
CONNECTED TO A CHIMNEY FLUE
SERVING A SEPARATE SOLID FUEL
BURNING APPLIANCE.
12) Secure with Screw.
1) Final gas connection should be made after
unit is in place to avoid damage to line when
pushing the unit into position.

GAS PIPE
PRESSURE TESTING
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas
supply piping system at test pressures equal to or
less than 1/2 psig. (3.45 kPa). Disconnect piping
from valve at pressures over 1/2 psig.
The manifold pressure is controlled by a regulator
built into the gas control, and should be checked
at the pressure test point.
NOTE: To properly check gas pressure, both
inlet and manifold pressures should be
checked using the valve pressure ports
on the valve.
1) Make sure the valve is in the "OFF" position.
2) Loosen the "IN" and/or "OUT" pressure tap(s),
turning counterclockwise with a 1/8" wide fl at
screwdriver.
3) Attach manometer to "IN" and/or "OUT"
pressure tap(s) using a 5/16" ID hose.

Note: the grate must be removed in order to
remove the bottom log. Ensure you slide the
bottom coal off to the right-hand side to avoid
chipping.
3) Unwrap the brick pattern panels from the
protective wrapping. Handle the panels with
care as they can break easily.
4) Remove the two screws from the bottom of the
baffl e plate. Install the bottom clips onto the
baffl e plate (refer to Diagram 1).
