INSTALLING DAMPER CLAMP ACCESSORY FOR VENTED OPERATION
NOTE:
When used as a vented heater, the heater must
be installed only in a solid-fuel burning fireplace with a
working flue constructed of noncombustible material.
You may use this heater as a vented product. When
used as a vented decorative appliance, use of the
thermostat function is prohibited—operate manually
only. There are three reasons for operating your heater
as a vented model:
1. The fireplace does not meet the clearance requirements
for vent-free operation.
2. State or local codes do not permit vent-free operation.
3. You prefer vented operation.
Any chimney damper must be fixed in a manner that will maintain the minimum permanent vent opening
at all times. Installing a damper clamp to prevent the damper from accidentally closing is recommended
(see Fig. 9).
