If, once installed, the solid-fuel appliance does
not draw steadily, burns poorly or inefficiently,
back-drafts or experiences back-puffing when
adding fuel.
VENTING (DRAFT) REQUIREMENTS
WARNING:
RISK OF FIRE - EXCESSIVE DRAFT CAN CAUSE
OVERFIRING AND A POSSIBLE STRUCTURE
FIRE. DO NOT OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE
WITH THE FLUE DRAFT EXCEEDING 0.06 in.
w.c. (0.1 Pa).
The chimney flue is a critical component to the
proper and efficient operation of any heating
appliance. Heating appliances do not create draft,
draft is provided by the chimney. This appliance
requires a draft of 0.05” water column (0.1 Pa) at the
flue collar. To achieve proper draft, your chimney
must meet three minimum height requirements;
minimum height from top of appliance (15 ft. total
height from top of appliance), minimum height
above roof penetration (3 ft.), and minimum height
(2 ft.) above highest point of roof within a 10 ft.
diameter from the chimney. The chimney must
also meet minimum and maximum cross sectional
requirements. For that reason a continuous 6”
stainless steel liner from the flue collar to the top
of the chimney is required. A stainless steel adapter
is recommended for fastening the stainless steel
liner to the flue collar. The male (or crimped) end
of the adapter must be installed inside the flue
collar to allow condensation or creosote in the liner
to drain back into the firebox. Chimney liners and/
or adapters must be permanently fastened using
a minimum of three (3) screws at each connection.
Chimneys outside of the home or on an exterior
wall are difficult to keep at operating temperatures
and may result in increased creosote buildup, less
draft, back drafting problems and poor appliance
performance and should be avoided.
WARNING:
RISK OF FIRE - DO NOT ALLOW COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIALS (CARPET, FURNITURE, FUELS)
TO BE PLACED ON OR COVER THE FLOOR
PROTECTOR. ALL COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS
MUST REMAIN OUTSIDE OF THE MINIMUM
CLEARANCE DIMENSIONS.

1.
Clean the fireplace opening properly disposing
of any ashes in a closed metal container. See
Safety Instructions.
2.
Install a 6” (153 mm) minimum diameter,
continuous stainless steel chimney liner into
the existing chimney. The liner must extend to
the top of the existing chimney. Use only listed
chimney liners that meet UL 1777(US) or ULC
S635 (Canada).
3.
Remove or lock the fireplace damper in the
open position. Note: Masonry or damper
plate may be removed to accommodate the
chimney liner provided this does not weaken
any structural components of the existing
fireplace or chimney nor reduces protection
of combustible materials required by national
building codes. Consult with your local building
or fire authority before doing this.
4.
Uncrate the appliance, remove all packing
materials, and any items stored in the firebox.

WARNING: Any fireplace which has had parts
removed or modified to accommodate the

location stating that the fireplace is unfit for
use with solid fuel. This unit came with a metal
