PRE-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE INSTALLATION OF YOUR APPLIANCE
1. Check with the building inspector’s office for compliance with local codes; a permit may be required.
2. This appliance requires a masonry or prefabricated chimney listed to ULC S629 (Canada) and UL
103HT (U.S.) sized correctly.
3. A 6
"
(152mm) diameter flue is required for proper performance.
4. Always connect this unit to a chimney and
NEVER
VENT TO ANOTHER ROOM OR INSIDE A
BUILDING.
5. DO NOT
connect this unit to any duct work to which another appliance is connected such as a
furnace.
6. DO NOT
connect this unit to a chimney flue serving another appliance.
7.
The connector pipe and chimney should be inspected periodically and cleaned if nescessary.
8. Remember the clearance distances when you place furniture or other objects within the area.
DO
NOT
store wood, flammable liquids or other combustible materials too close to the unit.
Refer to
certification label on back of your unit for required clearances.
9. Contact your local municipal or provincial fire authority for information on how to handle a chimney
fire. Have a clearly understood plan to handle a chimney fire. In the event of a chimney fire, turn air
control to closed position and
CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
10. DO NOT
tamper with combustion air control beyond normal adjustment.
11. If installing in a mobile home, use mobile home kit.
WHY THE CORRECT FLUE SIZE IS IMPORTANT — 6
"
(152 mm)
Draft is the force, which moves air from the appliance up through the chimney. The amount of draft in
your chimney depends on the length of the chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions, and other
factors. Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures in the appliance. An uncontrolled burn,
a glowing red part or chimney connector indicates excessive draft. Inadequate draft may cause back
puffing into the room and “plugging” of the chimney and/or cause the appliance to leak smoke into the
room through appliance and chimney connector joints.
Today’s solid fuel appliances are much more efficient than in the past. The units are designed to give
you controlled combustion, as well as maximum heat transfer, using less fuel to do so. The design of your
new appliance is such that the exhaust “smoke” is now at lower temperatures than in the past, therefore
requiring proper chimney size to give adequate draft. If your chimney is too large, the heating appliance
will have a difficult time to raise the “chimney flue” temperature to give adequate draft, therefore causing a
smoke back up, poor burn, or both.
Should you experience such a problem call in a local chimney expert.
With the door closed, the rate of burning is regulated by the amount of air allowed to enter the unit
through the air control. With experience you will be able to set the control for heat and burning time
desired.
Once the required chimney draft is obtained, operate only with doors closed and open slowly when re-
fueling. (This will reduce or eliminate smoke from entering the room.)
CAUTION
After reading these instructions, if you have any doubt about your ability to complete
your installation in a professional manner, you should obtain the services of an installer
versed in all aspects of correct and safe installation.
DO NOT
use temporary, makeshift
compromises during installation.
