Maintain at least the minimum clearances to combustible material as specified in this manual.Clearances are measured to the nearest part of the insert (i.e. top edge on the side). Clearances toany combustibles, when measured directly out from the front, must be a minimum of 48" (1219mm).4.

The insert is to be connected only to a lined masonry chimney and masonry fireplace conformingto building codes for use with solid fuel. Do not remove bricks or mortar from the existingfireplace when installing the insert.7. Minimum chimney size is 6" (152mm) diameter.

Chimneys should be inspected to check fordeterioration and to determine if they meet the minimum requirements, and be upgraded ifnecessary. The chimney must extend at least 3' (914mm) above the roof and at least 2' (610mm)above the highest point within an area of 10' (3m) of the chimney.8.
