CONVERTING CLASS-A
METAL CHIMNEY TO
DIRECT VENT SYSTEM
Prior to installation and connection of the vent
system to a factory-built or masonry chimney,
the chimney must be inspected and thoroughly
cleaned by a qualified service person, such as
a certified chimney sweep or home inspection
service.
The direct vent system must not be connected
to a damaged factory-built or masonry chimney.
For factory built, zero clearance, and masonry
chimneys cleanout doors and caps or plugs for
cleanout tee fittings and ash dumps shall be
secured in place and sealed before installing a
Direct Vent system within the chimney.
If the appliance shuts off during operation,
contact a qualified service person to determine
if a negative pressure and/or leaky chimney
condition exists. Do not operate the appliance
until the problem is corrected.
Approved for US Installations Only
The use of an existing chimney as an air intake
is not covered under the ANS Z21.88-2014/CSA
2.33-2014 test methods and the resulting ITS/
WHI product certification. The code Authority
Having Jurisdiction must be consulted prior to
proceeding with this installation method.
Converting a Factory Built Metal
Chimney
Important : If converting this appliance to a Fac-
tory Built Metal Chimney, the IPI/CPI switch
on the hand held remote control/transmitter
must be turned to CPI (Continuous Pilot
Ignition) at all times. This will avoid nuisance
pilot outages during operation of this appli-
ance. See Remote manual for setup of this
IPI/CPI switch.
