Owner`s manual
A  noncombustible  hearth  pad 
must  cover  combustible  flooring 
underneath, as well as 9” in front of 
the heater and 6” to the side of the 
heater
1. Install the hearth pad.
2. Lock  the  fireplace  damper  in  the 
open position.
3. Install a positive flue connector at 
the fireplace damper.
4. Connect a tee or 90° degree elbow 
to the exhaust pipe.
5. This  fireplace  insert  must  be 
installed  with  a  continuous 
chimney liner of 3 or 4” diameter 
extending  from  the  fireplace 
insert  to  the  top  of  the  chimney.  
The liner must conform to type 3 
requirements of CAN/ULC S635.
6. (Recommended)  Install fresh air 
intake  either  through  the  back 
of  the  fireplace  or  through  the 
positive flue connector.
When  installing  the  insert  into  a 
masonry  fireplace DO  NOT  remove any  bricks  or  masonry,  with  the  following  exception;  masonry  or 
steel, including the damper plate, may be removed from the smoke shelf and adjacent damper frame if 
necessary to accommodate a chimney liner.  Provided that their removal will not weaken the structure 
of the fireplace and chimney, and will not reduce protection for combustible materials to less than that 
required by the national building code.
When installing the fireplace insert into a zero clearance fireplace, DO NOT cut or modify any factory 
firebox parts.  If the fireplace insert does not fit into a zero clearance fireplace we recommend you use 
an ENVIRO freestanding model and install as a hearth mounted unit.  Install a 3” (76 mm) flex pipe from 
the stove to the top of the chimney (see “
installation - hearth mount installation - freestanding”).

The Fireplace insert model requires a surround faceplate and a pedestal. When installing this unit, ensure 
that the pedestal is removed from the inside of the hopper and installed on the bottom of the unit (Refer

Adjust hopper height (see 
installation - installing hopper cover and adjusting hopper height - fireplace insert) 
and assemble surround panel (see Installation -
