INSTALLING DAMPER CLAMP ACCESSORY
FOR VENTED OPERATION
Note:
When used as a vented decorative, ap pli ance must be installed
only in a solid-fuel burning fi replace with a working fl ue and con-
structed of noncombustible material.
If your heater is a non-thermostatically-controlled mod el, you may
use this heater as a vented prod uct. There are three reasons for op er -
at ing your heater in the vented mode.
1. The
fi replace does not meet the clear ance to com bus ti bles
re quire ments for vent-free operation.
2. State or local codes do not permit vent-free operation.
3. You prefer vented operation.
If reasons number 1 or 2 above apply to you, you must permanently
open chim ney fl ue damper. You must install the damper clamp ac-
cessory (to order, see
Accessories
, page 27). This will insure vented
op er a tion (see Figure 10). The damper clamp will keep damper open.
Installation instructions are included with clamp accessory.
See chart below for minimum permanent fl ue opening you must
provide. Attach damp er clamp so the minimum permanent fl ue
opening will be main tained at all times.
