Initial Installation
QUALIFIED INSTALLERS ONLY
The height for the vent must be between 10 ft (3.05 m) and 40 ft (12 m) from
the top of the unit to the bottom of the termination
Install a sealed vent cap to prevent leakage of room air up through chimney.
The intake and the exhaust are 3" (76mm).
Measure the height of the chimney beforehand and purchase the appropriate
venting. Never attempt to over-stretch a flexible liner to accommodate the
height of the chimney. Every joint in the venting must be secured with three (3)
#8 x 3/8” HWH sheet metal screws and an appropriate sealant (either silicone
or stove cement).
The flue damper must be fully blocked using a non-combustable seal off plate;
the smoke shelves, shields and baffles may be removed if attached by
mechanical fasteners.
The air intake liner must extend a minimum of 12” above the seal off plate.
The exhaust liner must connect to the termination.
The fireplace and fireplace chimney must be clean, in good working order and
constructed of non-combustible materials.
Make sure that all chimney cleanouts are tight fitting and will not permit air to
leak into the chimney. It must be completely sealed.

:
This appliance comes equipped with an adjustable baffle plate that must remain closed when installation
ulitilizes the minimum permissable length of vent (10’ / 3.05m). For venting lengths between 20’-40’ (6.1
m-12 m) it may be necessary to adjust the baffle plate, depending on installation and climate, to prevent
flames from lifting/ghosting during start-up.
To adjust the baffle plate
remove the door as shown in the

Then, using a Torx T20 screwdriver, slightly loosen (DO NOT remove) the two baffle screws indicated below
in Figure 28. Slide the the plate down to open the baffle as needed (Figure 29) then re-tighten the screws
to set the plate position. If flames continue to lift re-adjust the plate and confirm venting, venturi setting,
and log setup are all correct.
