GENERAL INFORMATION
Installation and repair should be done by a qualified service person. The heater should be inspected before use and at least annually by a professional service person.

It is impera tive that control com partm ents, burn pot and circulating air passageways of the heater be kept clean.
The EASYFIRE Pellet Insert has been designed and approved for burning wood pellet fuel only. Burning solid fuel in other forms is not permitted and will void all warranties.

Ashes must be disposed of in a metal container with a tight fitting lid and placed on a noncombustible floor or ground, well away from all fuels, pending final disposal.
NOTE : During the first few burns the high tem perature paint and sealant used in manufacture will emit some odor and smoke. Open doors and windows to the outside for proper ventilation during the first burn cycle and curing of the paint.
This heater, when installed, m ust be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 702006.

This adapter is used on Selkirk Metalbestos™ and other Ø2.950" I.D. Pellet Vent Pipes.
Use conduit pipe or metal flex pipe and/or fittings to make the air intake hook-up.
Also, the structural integrity of the mobile hom e floor, walls and ceiling/roof must be maintained.
1.Clean and inspect the fireplace and its chim ney for any structural defect that may cause any future problems. Secure gas piping that is installed with a cap and verify there are no leaks. Seal ash dump or any other access to the firebox area. Fix the damper in an open position or remove it as required for vent pipe installation.
2.Verify the required hearth and side and clearances to mantels (fig. 2 & 3).
