2.1 FireplaceInstallation

1.Beforebeginninginstallation,removethefireplacetrimtoprotectitfromdamage.Thefastening

screwsarelocatedbehindtheupperandlowerlouvers.Makesurenomasonryproductsoracidscome

intocontactwiththetrimasthesemaydiscolorthefinishwhichisnotunderwarranty.

2.Removeallcombustiblefloorcoverings,e.g.carpeting,linoleum,etc.,fromtheareawherethe

fireplaceistobeinstalledandmakesurethesurfaceisleveled.

3.Thefireplacecanbeinstalleddirectlyonthefloororonaplatformmadeofcombustiblematerials,

suchaswoodorplywoodoranyotherhard,sturdysurface.

4.A48”x16”(1219mmx406mm)minimumhearthextensionmadeofnoncombustiblematerialis

required.Theextensioncanbeinstalledbelowthebaseofthefireplaceorflushmounted.

5.Topreventanyburningembersfallingbetweenthefireplaceandthehearthextensionfromcoming

intocontactwiththefloor,insertametalsheetunderthefrontofthefireplace.Thissheetmustextend

4”(102mm)onbothsidesofthefireplaceand2”(51mm)infront.Thenoncombustiblehearth

extensionshouldrestonthe2”(51mm)bandofsheetmetalinfront.Youcanalsopreventembers

fromfallinginthejointbetweenthefireplaceandthehearthextensionbyfillingitwithmortargrout.

6.Toanchorthefireplacetothefloor,unfoldthelowermetalattachmentsandscrewthemtothefloor

using1”(25mm)screws.

8ME150‐InstallationandOperationManual

7.Theopeningmustbeatleast24”(610mm)awayfromanywallatarightanglewiththeappliance’s

face(seefigureinsection4:FireplaceFinish).

8.Placetheapplianceinthedesiredlocation.Itmustdirectlyabutagainstthefinishedwallandnot

insulationoravaporbarrier.Donotaddanyinsulation.

9.Thestandardsinyourareamayrequireanoutsideairinlet.Evenifsuchisnotthecase,itisbeneficial

todososincethiswillimprovethefireplace’sperformance.Installaflexibleairductthatis4”(102mm)

indiameterandamaximumlengthof20’(6.1m).Ifalongerductisrequired,increasediameterto6”

(152mm)butmaximumlengthwillthenbe40’(12.2m).Theoutsideairintakemustnotcomefroma

garage,carport,basement,atticorthechimney’senclosure.

10.Installtheoutsideairinletinaplacewhereitisunlikelytobecomeblockedbysnowandissheltered

fromhighwinds.Makesureitisfarfromthegasmeteroranyotherdevicethatmayemitfumesor

gases,suchasautomobileexhaust.

11.Onceyouhavedecidedonthelocationoftheoutsideairinlet,drilla4¼”(108mm)holeinthewall.

Inserttheinletgrillintheholefromtheoutsideandscrewittothewallwithfour1”(25mm)screws.

12.Fromtheinside,inserttheinsulatedflexibleductandattachittotheinletgrillwithaluminumduct

tapeor¾”(19mm)metalscrews.

13.Onthelowerleftsideofthefireplace,removethemetalpieceblockingtheairintake.Cutthe

insulatingwool,inserttheadaptorincludedwiththefireplaceandscrewitinplaceusingtwo¾”(19

mm)metalscrews.Usinganadjustablecollaroraluminumducttape,attachtheflexibleducttothe

adaptor.

Youcanalsoinstalladecorativegasapplianceinthehearth.Todothis,installanautomaticshut‐offvalve.

3.1 GeneralInformation

Theventingsystemistheenginethatdrivesyourwoodheatingsystem.Eventhebestfireplacewillnot

functionsafelyandefficientlyasintendedifnotconnectedtoasuitablechimney.Theheatinthefluegases

thatpassfromthefireplacetothechimneyisnotwastedheat.Thisheatiswhatthechimneyusestomake

thedraftthatdrawsincombustionairandkeepsthecombustiongaseswithinthefireplace.Youcanthink

ofheatinthefluegasasthefuelthechimneyusestomakedraft.

3.2 SuitableChimneys

Thiswoodfireplacemaybeconnectedtoafactory‐builtmetalchimney.Tobesuitable,afactory‐builtmetal

chimneymustcomplywithUL103HT(U.S.A.),ULCS629(Canada),ULCS604(Canada).Factory‐built

chimneysaretestedasasystemwithallthenecessarycomponentsforinstallation.Theinstructions

providedwiththechimneybyitsmanufactureraretheonlyreliablesourceofinstallationguidelines.Tobe

safeandeffective,thechimneymustbeinstalledexactlyinaccordancewiththemanufacturer’s

instructions.Useonlycomponentsintendedforthebrandandmodelofchimneyyouareusing.Never

substitutepartsfromotherchimneybrandsorbuildyourowncomponents.

Thiswoodfireplaceistobeconnectedtoachimneywitha7”diameterfluepassage.

3.3 ChimneyInstallationNotes

1. Ifpossible,installaninteriorchimneyasitwillprovidebetterperformance.Inareaswithcontinuous

temperaturesbelow18C(0F),theuseofanexteriorchimneyincreasesthelikelihoodofoperating

problemssuchaslowdraft,highrateofcreosoting,andpoorstart‐upcharacteristics.Exteriorchimneys

arealsopronetodown‐draftingandflowreversal.Installations,whicharelocatedonlowerfloorsinthe

house,suchasinabasement,incombinationwithoutsidechimney,areespeciallypronetoflow

reversal.

2. TheME150islistedonlywithchimneysystemsdescribedintable1.

3. Achimneyventingafireplaceshallnotventanyotherappliance.

4. Theminimumchimneysystemheightforastraightinstallationis15ft.(4,5m).
