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 ENVIROFIRE model

FS and install as a hearth mounted unit. Install a 3” (76 mm) flex pipe from the stove to the top of the chimney.
