NSTALLATION
In order to assure safe and satisfactory performance of the fireplace, it is very important to properly install the
chimney. This is an important part of the installation and the sections of this manual pertaining to chimney
installation should be reviewed very thoroughly.
For your safety, some of the important things to remember in regard to chimneys are listed below:
1. Use only parts and accessories labeled for use with this fireplace.
2. Use only undamaged parts and accessories.
3. Enclose the chimney where it passes through the living spaces to prevent contact with and possible damage
to the chimney.
4. Install firestop spacers at each ceiling level.
5. Install the proper chimney cap or chimney housing on the chimney to prevent the entry of rain and debris
into the chimney and to assure the proper venting of smoke.
6. Do not use more than four elbows in the chimney.
NOTE: To select the proper chimney height, refer to Figures 1, 7, 9, and 14. The flue outlet must be a
minimum of three feet above the highest point where the chimney penetrates the roof and a minimum of two
feet above all portions of the building within ten feet. If the chimney is to include elbows to offset the chimney,
refer to the Chimney Offset and Cap Installation section of this manual. There must be at least two inches air
space between all sections of the chimney and combustible materials between floors.
