Vermont Castings Seville Insert
Introduction
Thank you for choosing a Vermont Castings Seville Insert to meet your heating needs.
We're confident you will find the Seville Insert to be an effective wood-burning heater
incorporating modern, non-catalytic combustion technology with the classic aesthetic appeal
of its Vermont Castings lineage.
The Seville Insert achieves high-efficiency through precisely calibrated delivery of primary and
secondary air into a refractory-insulated firebox. Properly operated and maintained according
to the guidelines in this manual, your Seville Insert will provide safe, dependable, and
economical heating for years to come.
The Seville Insert Model 1600 series has been tested and is listed by CSA. The test
standards are ANSI/UL-1482 for the United States and ULC-S628 for Canada.
The Seville Insert Model 1600 is listed for burning wood fuel only. Do not burn other fuels.
The Seville Insert Model 1600 complies with the standards set forth by the Federal
Environmental Protection Agency, 40 CFR Part 60.532(b)(2), as stated on the permanent
label attached to each stove.
We recommend that you hire a professional, solid-fuel stove technician to install your Seville
Insert, or to advise you on the installation should you attempt to install it yourself. Consult the
authority having local jurisdiction (such as a municipal building department, fire department,
fire prevention bureau, etc.) before installation to determine the need for a building permit.
Also, consult your insurance agent to be sure your installation complies with specific
requirements that may vary locally.
In addition to directions on installation and operation, this manual includes directions on
f i r e - p a r t s . c o m
maintenance and assembly. Please read this entire manual before you install or operate your
new room heater.

This value can vary depending on how the stove is
operated, the type and moisture content of the fuel
used, as well as the design, construction and climatic
location of your home. Figures shown are based on
maximum fuel consumption obtained under laboratory
conditions and on average efficiencies.

These values are based on operation in building codeconforming homes under typical winter climate conditions in New England. If your home is of nonstandard
construction (i.e., unusually well insulated, not insulated, built under ground, etc.) or if you live in a more
severe or more temperate climate, these figures may
not apply. Since so many variables affect performance,
consult your Vermont Castings authorized dealer to
determine realistic expectations for your home.

Installation
SAFETY NOTICE: IF YOUR INSERT IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED, OPERATED AND MAINTAINED,
A HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT. FOR SAFETY,
FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND
MAINTENANCE DIRECTIONS. CONTACT LOCAL
BUILDING OFFICIALS ABOUT RESTRICTIONS AND
INSTALLATION INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS IN
YOUR AREA.
NOTE: CANADIAN INSTALLATIONS
In accordance with CAN/CSA B365-M01, you must
permanently secure the Fireplace Modification Tag
to the rear of the fireplace cavity if you have modified the fireplace in any way to accommodate
installation of a fireplace insert. This tag (1601246)
is in the hardware bag included with the Seville
Insert.
Before you begin an installation, review your plans to
be certain that:
• Your insert will be far enough from combustible
material to meet all clearance requirements.
• The floor protector is large enough and is con-
f i r e - p a r t s . c o m
structed properly to meet all requirements.
• You have all necessary permits from local authorities.
Your local building official is the final authority for
approving your installation as safe and determining
that it meets local and state codes.
The metal label permanently attached to the back of
the insert indicates that the Seville Insert has been
tested to current UL and ULC standards by CSA.
Clearance and installation information is also printed
on the label. Local authorities generally will accept the
label as evidence that, when the stove is installed
according to the information on the label and in this
manual, the installation meets codes and can be
approved. Codes, however, vary in different areas.
Before starting the installation, review your plans with
the local building authority. Your local dealer can
provide any additional information needed.
For any unresolved questions about installation, refer
to the National Fire Protection Association’s publication
ANSI/NFPA 211–1988 Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents and Solid Fuel Burning Appliances
Canada, the equivalent publication is
Installation Code for Solid Fuel Burning Appliances and
Equipment.

are accepted by most local authorities. Your local
dealer or your local building official may have a copy of
these regulations.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN A
DANGEROUS SITUATION, INCLUDING A CHIMNEY
OR HOUSE FIRE. FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS

COMPROMISES TO ENDANGER PROPERTY AND
PERSONAL SAFETY.
Chimneys
Your insert must be connected either to a sound
masonry chimney that meets local codes, to a relined
masonry chimney that meets local codes, or to an
approved prefabricated metal chimney. Whichever of
those types you use, the chimney and chimney connector must be in good condition and kept clean.
If you use an existing masonry chimney, it must be
inspected to ensure safe condition before the stove is
installed. Your local professional chimney sweep,
building inspector, or fire department official will be
able to make the inspection or direct you to someone
who can.
The chimney should extend at least 3' (914mm) above
the highest point where it passes through a roof, and at
least 2' (610mm) higher than any portion of a building
within 10' (3m).
To assure proper draft and good performance, any
chimney used with this stove should extend at least 16'
(5m) above the flue collar of the stove.

Masonry Chimneys
An existing masonry chimney must be inspected to
confirm that it has a lining. Do not use an unlined
chimney. The chimney also should be examined for
cracks, loose mortar, other signs of deterioration, and
blockage. Repair any defects before the chimney is
used with your stove.

• Unused openings in an existing masonry chimney
must be sealed with masonry to the thickness of the
chimney wall, and the chimney liner should be
repaired. Openings sealed with pie plates or
wallpaper are a hazard and should be sealed with
mortar or refractory cement. In the event of a
chimney fire, flames and smoke may be forced out
of these unused thimbles.
• The chimney should be thoroughly cleaned before use.
• A newly-built masonry chimney must conform to the
standards of local building code, or, in the absence
f i r e - p a r t s . c o m
of a local code, to a recognized national code.
Masonry chimneys must be lined, either with codeapproved masonry or precast refractory tiles,
stainless steel pipe, or a code-approved, "poured-inplace" liner. The chimney clean-out door must seal
tightly to ensure a good draft.
Prefabricated Chimneys
A prefabricated metal chimney must be one that is
tested and listed for use with solid-fuel burning appliances to the High-Temperature (H.T.) Chimney Standard UL-103-1985 (2100°F.) for the United States, and
High Temperature (650°C) Standard ULC S-629 for
Canada.
This Seville Insert is approved for venting into a masonry
chimney with a nominal flue size of 8" x 8" (203 x
203mm), and into a round flue size of 8" (203mm) or 6"
(152mm). It may be vented into larger chimneys as
well, however, chimneys with liners larger than 8" x
12" (203 x 305mm) may experience rapid cooling of
smoke and reduction in draft, especially if they are
located outside the home. Such large chimneys may
need to be insulated or relined for proper stove performance.
Existing Masonry Fireplace
The Seville Insert is listed only for installation within a
properly built masonry or heat circulating, masonrytype fireplace that is constructed in accordance with
the requirements of recognized building codes. A
heat-circulating masonry-type fireplace must conform
to building code standards for masonry fireplaces, and
must consist of a factory-built metal firebox with air
circulation pathways that are surrounded by masonry
materials.
The Vermont Castings' Seville Insert is not listed
for use in “zero-clearance” prefabricated fireplaces.
The fireplace and chimney must be clean and structurally sound. Have it inspected by a qualified professional chimney sweep, a mason, or your Vermont
Castings’ Authorized Dealer before the insert is
installed. Any deterioration (cracks, loose mortar or
loose bricks) must be repaired.
The fireplace should not be modified to install the
insert without first checking with your local building
inspector or fire marshal. Do not remove bricks or
mortar that may jeopardize the compliance of the
fireplace with local building codes.

Minimum Fireplace Dimensions
The Seville Insert will fit most masonry fireplaces. To
confirm that it will fit yours, measure the lintel depth,
plus the height, width, and depth of your fireplace and
your hearth. Compare them to the measurements in
the accompanying chart. (Fig. 4) If you choose to
install a new hearth over an existing fireplace hearth,
be sure to take its thickness into consideration when
measuring both front and back height of the fireplace.
After confirming that your fireplace is the right size,
check the clearances to combustibles. First mark with
tape the exact center of your fireplace opening on the
hearth. Measure the side clearance from this point.
Measure the top trim and/or mantel clearances from
the finished hearth surface. Measure the front clearance (to furnishings, etc.) from the door glass.
