Smoke and CO Detectors
The use of smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) detectors
throughout the home is strongly advised, even if not
required by building codes or insurance regulations.
It is a good idea to install a smoke detector in the living
areas and each bedroom. Follow the smoke/CO detector
manufacture's placement and installation instructions and
maintain regularly.
You may not, however, wish to install a detector in the
immediate vicinity of the Montpelier insert. Depending on
the sensitivity of the unit, the alarm can be set off while you
are tending the fire or emptying the ashes. If you install a
detector in the same room, locate it as far away from the
insert as possible.
Safety Tips
Conveniently locate a "Class A" fire extinguisher to contend
with small fires. Be sure the fire extinguisher works and
is clearly visible. All occupants of the house should know
where it is, and how it operates. Have heavy stove gloves
available near the insert. Have special safety accessories
(e.g., Child Guard Screen) available for use if small children
will be in the home.
In the event of a stove pipe or chimney fire….
• Evacuate the house immediately
• Notify the fire department
• If the fire isn't too threatening, closing down the insert
tight, (damper, primary air, all doors) will help to smother
the fire.
• Inspect your insert, stove pipe and chimney for any
damage caused by the fire and correct any damage
before using your insert again.
8.
Connect the Flue Collar. :
From inside the stove, reach
up and pull the flue collar into place by lining up the two
1⁄4" studs in the stove top. Care should be taken to not
disturb the gasket which seals the collar to the top. Tighten
the two 1⁄4" nuts.
•
Replace the three rear stainless steel air tubes by
sliding them first to the right and then into the mating
holes on the left. Secure these in place with the
stainless steel cotter pins.
•
Before installing the front air tube, replace the fiber
baffle board and ensure it slides all the way to the
back. There should be a tight fit between the board
and the iron sides of the stove.
•
Replace the front air tube and secure it in place with
the cotter pin.
9.
Connect the Blower power cord to the power supply.
DO NOT ROUTE THE POWER CORD UNDER OR IN
FRONT OF THE UNIT.
10. Install the supplied wooden handle by twisting clockwise
onto the primary air control. (Figure 7)
