SEALING THE TRIM PANELS
It is necessary to seal trim panels against the
stove and against the fireplace front. This will
prevent the loss of warm room air up the
chimney.
1. (See Figure 9) Using the caulking gun and
a cartridge of RTV silicone, run a bead of
silicone all the way around the inside of the
trim panels next to the stove.
2. (See Figure 10) Attach 1 1/2" x 2" strip in-
sulation around the back edge of the trim
panels. Set the strip back
1" from the edge.
NOTE: On rock face fireplaces, it may be
necessary to add additional pieces of
fiberglass
to fill large or deep mortar joints.

FINAL STEP
1. Slide the stove back into the fireplace. Be
sure the trim panels all tit snugly against the
face of the fireplace.
NOTE: Be sure the top
edge of the trim panel runs true with the
mortar joints
on a brick fireplace. It it does not,
one side of the stove can be shimmed from
the bottom with metal to give a
"square"
appearance.
2. Place a flashlight up through the damper
and onto the top of the stove. Visually check
all the way around the trim panels for evidence
of light seepage. Any seepage should
be
blocked with the use of additional fiberglass
and
RTV silicone until a tight seal is achiev-
ed. (See Figure
10)
