INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS cont.
CHIMNEY
FACTORY-BUILT FIREPLACE
In Canada and in the USA: Th
is insert may be installed into a compliant factory built fi replace providing the
chimney is lined from the outlet of the insert to the top of the chimney using an insulated stainless steel liner
which meets UL1777 or ULC S635. Th
e liner must be securely attached to both the insert and the chimney top.
In both Canada and the U.S.A. the existing fi replace damper must be secured in the open position. If this is
not possible the damper must be removed. Any openings between the masonry of the fi replace and the facing
masonry must be sealed.
THE FIREPLACE CANNOT BE MODIFIED IN ANY WAY TO FIT THE INSERT
GENERAL CHIMNEY INSTALLATION
Connect the venting system to the fl ue collar of the insert using three sheet metal screws. Th
ere are three
predrilled holes in the fl ue collar. Place a bead of furnace cement around the fl ue collar connection to ensure the
fl ue pipe is properly connected, secured and sealed.
If this stove and its chimney components are not properly installed, a house fi re may result. For your safety,
follow the installation directions. Contact local building or fi re offi
cials about restrictions and installation
requirements in your area.
We recommend that the inside your chimney be at least the same diameter as the fl ue of your stove. If you
plan to use an existing masonry chimney, be sure it is free of cracks and loose joints. Gases traveling through a
chimney can reach extremely high temperatures. Cracks or loose mortar can allow hot gases to reach the wood
portion of the structure surrounding the chimney. Th
ese toxic gases can also re-enter the house through cracks
and small holes in the chimney, or cause back-puffi
ng which will result in excessive smoking. Be on the safe
side and have your chimney inspected by a certifi ed chimney sweep. A 6 inch insulated stainless steel chimney
liner with a direct connection to the stove is recommended for masonry chimney installations. A chimney must
extend at least three feet above the highest point where it passes through the roof and at least two feet higher
than any portion of the building within ten feet of the chimney. Smoke travels up the chimney in a circular,
spiraling motion. A 6 inch round insulated stainless steel liner allows the smoke to travel with less resistance. A
rough masonry chimney without a good smooth liner can result in the rapid build up creosote.
