Initial Installation
QUALIFIED INSTALLERS ONLY
The total vent length must be between 8 ft (2.44 m) and 40 ft (12.19 m).
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 can be fully blocked open or removed for installation of the
unit; the smoke shelves, shields and baffles may be removed if attached by
mechanical fasteners.
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.
Refractory, glass doors, screen rails, screen mesh and log grates can be
removed from the fireplace before installing the unit.
The base, sidewalls and top structure of the solid fuel firebox cannot be altered with the exception of:
removal of dampers, removal of smoke shelf or baffle, removal of ember catches, removal of log grate,
removal of viewing screen/curtain, and removal of doors. THE ORIGINAL FIREPLACE MAY NEVER BE
RETURNED TO SOLID FUEL USE IN THIS CONDITION.
