Ducting the Magnum to remote locations is not allowed. A cold air return positioned on the ceiling
above the heat outlet grill as a rule would be the easiest.
CAUTION:
Temperatures exceeding 400
will be common and cannot be handled by ordinary ductwork. Under no circumstances may this heat
be ducted into existing furnace ductwork.
•
Next, complete your chimney system. It is recommended that the chimney be built to a height of at
least two feet taller than the peak of the building.
Note:
A listed type HT per UL 103 chimney or an
all fuel masonry chimney is necessary. Never run a single wall steel pipe above the slab. There may
be some exceptions, but a chimney termination should always remain at least three feet above a
combustible roof and should never be less than 12 feet from the top of the fireplace. If using a listed
type HT Chimney, the chimney installation procedures may be generally stated, and instruct the
installer to follow the procedures specified in the chimney manufacturer’s installation manual, and use
all necessary parts specified for use with the listed chimney system.
•
A chimney cap must be installed on top of the chimney. (See Fig. 7)
•
After the installation is completed and the brick washed down, install glass doors and wood handles.
Install firebrick baffle inside unit just below flue opening. Position grills into their proper places.
Note:
Remove doors before washing brick to prevent finish from being permanently damaged.
•
A minimum of 10 days should be allowed for the masonry products to set up before using. Consult
with your brick or block layer for directions.
