INSTALLATION
thimble as necessary, utilizing either a recently cleaned
and inspected masonry chimney (properly lined) or a
UL, ULC Listed chimney. Ensure that the fixed flue
baffle that is provided is installed in the flue collar. This
baffle is intended to be in a fixed location for optimal
combustion. Do not remove or alter the location of this
baffle. It is against federal regulations and will void the
warranty.
• Again, check the following illustrations and be sure
to have the clearances shown from the heater and
the connector pipe to combustible surfaces. If there
is a solid brick or stone wall behind the heater, please
consult the local building code for specific regulations
that may apply in the area. However, if the wall is only
faced with brick or stone, consider it a combustible wall.
To reduce flue clearances from combustible materials,
contact the local safety department.
• If the chimney drafts excessively, purchase and use
a Barometric Draft Regulator (DR6 available from
factory).
• The chimney connection should be as short as
possible, and the heater must have its own flue.
DO
NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE
SERVING OTHER APPLIANCES.
• Use three sheet metal screws in each stove pipe and or
elbow joint to firmly hold the pipe together. Seal around
the screws
• Do not install this heater in a mobile home or trailer.
• Check with local codes. The installation must comply
with their rulings. Observe closely the clearances to
combustibles.
CAUTION!
• KEEP FURNISHINGS AND OTHER COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIALS AWAY FROM THE HEATER.
• KEEP THE AREA ADJACENT TO THE HEATER
FREE FROM ALL COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS,
GASOLINE, AND OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS.

MASONRY CHIMNEY
The masonry chimney must be code approved and have
a flue liner. The masonry chimney must comply with UL,
ULC codes. Before using an existing masonry chimney,
clean the chimney and inspect the flue liner to be sure
it is safe to use. Make repairs before attaching the
heater. The connector pipe and fittings you will need
to connect directly to a masonry chimney are shown. If
the connector pipe must go through a combustible wall
before entering the masonry chimney, consult a qualified
mason or chimney dealer. The installation must conform
to local fire codes, and NFPA 211(USA) or CAN/CSA-
B365-M91 (Canada). Do not connect this heater into the
same chimney flue as the fireplace or flue from another
heater. The chimney used for a heater must not be used
to ventilate the cellar or basement. If there is a cleanout
opening at the base of the chimney, close it tightly.
