CHIMNEY SPECIFICATIONS
This appliance must be connected to a listed Stainless
Steel Liner, that meets UL1777, which extends from the
collar to the chimney cap according to the speci
fi cations
listed on the previous pages.
Chimneys perform two functions:
1. As a means of exhausting smoke and fl ue gases which
are the result of fuel combustion.
2. The chimney provides “draft,” which allows oxygen to
be continuously introduced into the appliance, so that
proper combustion is possible. This stove relies on
natural draft to operate.
NOTICE: Always provide a source of fresh air into the
room where the stove is located. Failure to do so may
result in air starvation of other fuel burning appliances and
the possible development of hazardous conditions,
fi re,
or death.
Your appliance itself does not create draft. Draft is provid-
ed by the chimney. To achieve proper draft your chimney
must meet the three minimum height requirements de-
tailed in
fi gure 8. A minimum draft of 0.05 w.c. (measured
in water column) is required for proper drafting to prevent
back puf
fi ng, smoke spillage, and to maximize perfor-
mance. (Gauges to measure draft are readily available
at stove stores and are economical to rent or purchase.)
Factors such as wind, barometric pressure, trees, terrain
and chimney temperature can have an adverse effect on
the draft. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible
for external factors leading to less than optimal drafting.
Should you have a problem with inadequate draft, you
should contact a licensed heating and cooling contractor
for assistance in solving the problem.
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION POINTS
1. Size chimney fl ue to appliance collar. This stove re-
quires a minimum 6” diameter fl ue.
2. Never connect this unit to a chimney serving another
appliance.
3. The chimney must meet all minimum height require-
ments.
4. Never use a chimney to ventilate a cellar or basement.
5. Contact your local building authority for approved meth-
ods of installation and any necessary permits and/or
inspections.
MASONRY CHIMNEY
Before using an existing masonry chimney, clean the
chimney, inspect the
fl ue liner, and make any repairs
needed to be sure it is safe to use. As mentioned previ-
ously, this appliance requires a continuous stainless steel
liner from the appliance collar to the chimney cap. Make
repairs before attaching the stove. The connector stove
pipe and
fi ttings you will need to connect directly to a ma-
sonry chimney are detailed in the installation instructions.
If the
fi replace chimney must go through a combustible
wall before entering the main chimney, consult a quali fi ed
mason or chimney dealer regarding proper materials that
meet all local building and
fi re authority codes. The instal-
lation must conform to local building and fi re codes and
latest edition of NFPA 211.
If there is a cleanout opening in the base of the chimney,
close it tightly.
