INSTALLATION INSTALLATION REMOVING PELLET STOVE FROM PALLET To remove your new stove from its pallet, remove the two (2) screws securing the bottom to the pallet. Freestanding: One screw can be easily seen from behind but to access the second screw the ashpan must be removed. See figure 1. Fireplace Insert: There is one screw on either side of the bottom. See figure 2. Figure 2: Removing GFI55 From Pallet. Figure 1: Removing GF55 From Pallet.
INSTALLATION GF55 FREESTANDING PELLET STOVE INSTALLATION CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES ALCOVE CLEARANCES These dimensions are minimum clearances to combustibles, however it is highly recommended that you leave sufficient room on each side (20" where possible) for servicing, routine cleaning and maintenance. Minimum Width 36" (914mm) This pellet stove requires floor protection.
INSTALLATION INSTALLATION VENT TERMINATION REQUIREMENTS Letter Minimum Clearance Description A 24 in (61 cm) B 48 in (122 cm) C 24 in (61 cm) From above any door or window that may be opened. D 24 in (61 cm) To any adjacent building, fences and protruding parts of the structure. E 24 in (61 cm) Below any eave or roof overhang F 12 in (30 cm) To outside corner.

INSTALLATION EXHAUST AND FRESH AIR INTAKE LOCATION OUTSIDE FRESH AIR CONNECTION Base of unit to center of flue 20-5/16" (508mm) Side of unit to center of flue 6-11/16" (170mm) Center of unit to center of flue 5-3/4" (146mm) FRESH AIR INTAKE: Base of unit to center of intake 14-5/8" (356mm) Side of unit to center of intake 11-7/16" (291mm) Center of unit to center of intake A Fresh-air intake is strongly recommended for all installations.
INSTALLATION INSTALLATION HORIZONTAL EXHAUST THROUGH WALL INSTALLATION Vent installation: install vent at clearances specified by the vent manufacturer. A chimney connector shall not pass through an attic or roof space, closet or similar concealed spaces, or a floor, or ceiling. Where passage through a wall or partition of combustible construction is desired, the installation shall conform to CAN/CSA-B365 Installation Code for Solid-Fuel-Burning Appliances and Equipment.
INSTALLATION VERTICAL RISE WITH HORIZONTAL TERMINATION INSTALLATION 1. Choose a stove location that is ideal. Refer to "Locating Your Pellet Appliance" section. 2. Place the unit on the hearth pad (if installed on a carpeted surface) and space the unit in a manner so when the pellet vent is installed vertically, it will be 3” (76 mm) away from a combustible wall. 3. Locate the center of the fresh air intake pipe on the unit.
INSTALLATION HEARTH MOUNT INSTALLATION INSTALLATION OUTSIDE VERTICAL INSTALLATIONS To accomplish a outside vertical pipe installation, follow steps 1 through 5 in the "Inside Vertical Installation" section and then finish it by performing the following (refer to Figure 16). 1. Lock fireplace damper in the open position. 1. Install a tee with clean out on the outside of the house. 3. Connect a clean-out tee or a 90° elbow to the exhaust pipe. 2. Install PL vent upward from the tee.
INSTALLATION GFI55 PELLET INSERT The fireplace insert is certified to be installed into a masonry fireplace only and/or zero clearance wood burning factory built fireplace where allowed by local codes. This model includes 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.
INSTALLATION EXHAUST AND FRESH AIR INTAKE LOCATION INSTALLATION EXHAUST: Base of unit to center of flue 9-1/16" (229mm) Side of unit to center of flue 6-1/8" (156mm) Center of unit to center of flue 5-3/4" (146mm) FRESH AIR INTAKE: Base of unit to center of intake 3-7/16" (87mm) Side of unit to center of intake 10-7/8" (277mm) Center of unit to center of intake MASONRY FIREPLACE INSERT INSTALLATION The GFI55 requires a surround faceplate and a pedestal.
INSTALLATION When installing the fireplace insert into a zero clearance fireplace, where allowed by local codes, 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 Greenfire 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. Refer to "Hearth Mount Installation".
INSTALLATION INSTALLATION INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL OF CONTROL PANEL IN THE SURROUND PANEL When installing the circuit board control panel into the surround panel, the surround does not need to be assembled. The circuit board will be found in the firebox. Place the circuit board control panel on the backside of the right surround panel so the hinge is on the outside and the top and bottom holes on the control panel line up with those on the surround.

Remove the four (4) #8 hex nuts around the inside of the glass retainer shown in Figure 37. Remove door cover from door by gently sliding the studs out of the holes. If it is difficult to remove the cover, the glass retainer may be pinching the threads on the studs. Slightly loosen the four (4) screws (by each of the studs). 1.
INSTALLATION INSTALLATION SLIDER / DAMPER SET-UP THE SLIDER / DAMPER MUST BE SET AT TIME OF INSTALLATION, IT IS USED TO REGULATE THE AIRFLOW THROUGH THE PELLET STOVE.
