INSTALLING DAMPER CLAMP ACCESSORY FOR VENTED
OPERATION
When used as a vented heater, appliance
must be installed only in a solid-fuel burning
fireplace with a working flue constructed of
noncombustible material. You may use this
heater as a vented product. There are three
reasons for operating your heater as a vented
model:
1. The fireplace does not meet the clearance
requirements for vent-free operation.
2. State or local codes do not permit vent-
free operation.
3. You prefer vented operation.
If reasons number 1 or 2 above apply, you
must permanently open chimney flue damper.
You must install the damper clamp accessory
(not provided). This will insure vented opera-
tion (see Figure 10). The damper clamp will
keep damper open. Installation instructions
are included with clamp accessory.
See chart below for the minimum permanent
flue opening you must provide. Attach damper
clamp so the minimum permanent opening will
be maintained at all times.

A. If installing appliance on the floor level,
you must maintain the minimum distance
of 14" to combustibles (see Figure 8).
B. If combustible materials are less than 14"
to the fireplace, you must install appliance
at least 5" above the combustible flooring
(see Figure 9).
