Intrepid 1640 Woodburning Stove
30000830
SAFETY NOTICE: IF YOUR STOVE IS NOT PROP-
ERLY INSTALLED, OPERATED AND MAINTAINED, A
HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT. FOR SAFETY, FOLLOW
ALL INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTE-
NANCE DIRECTIONS. CONTACT LOCAL BUILDING
OFFICIALS ABOUT RESTRICTIONS AND IN�.
Before you begin an installation, review your plans to
be certain that:
•
Your stove and chimney connector will be far
enough from combustible material to meet all clear-
ance requirements.
•
The floor protector is large enough and is construct-
ed properly to meet all requirements.
•
You have all necessary permits from local authori-
ties.
Your local building official is the final authority for ap-
proving your installation as safe and determining that it
meets local and state codes.
The metal label permanently attached to the back of
the stove indicates that the Intrepid has been tested
to current UL and ULC standards by CSA. Clear-
ance and installation information is also printed on the
label. Local authorities generally will accept the label
as evidence that, when the stove is installed according
to the information on the label and in this manual, the
installation meets codes and can be approved. Codes,
however, vary in different areas. Before starting the
installation, review your plans with the local building
authority. Your local dealer can provide any additional
information needed.
For any unresolved questions about installation, refer
to the National Fire Protection Association’s publication
ANSI/NFPA 211–1988 Standard for Chimneys, Fire-
places, Vents and Solid Fuel Burning Appliances. In
Canada, the equivalent publication is CSA CAN-B365,
Installation Code for Solid Fuel Burning Appliances and
Equipment. These standards are the bases for many
national codes. They are nationally recognized and are
accepted by most local authorities. Your local dealer
or your local building official may have a copy of these
regulations.
IMPORTANT: FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE IN-
STALLATION INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN A
DANGEROUS SITUATION, INCLUDING A CHIMNEY
OR HOUSE FIRE. FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
EXACTLY AND DO NOT ALLOW MAKESHIFT COM-
PROMISES TO ENDANGER PROPERTY AND PER-

Chimneys
Your stove must be connected either to a sound
masonry chimney that meets local codes, to a relined
masonry chimney that meets local codes, or to an
approved prefabricated metal chimney. Whichever of
those types you use, the chimney and chimney connec-
tor must be in good condition and kept clean.
If you use an existing masonry chimney, it must be
inspected to ensure safe condition before the stove is
installed. Your local professional chimney sweep, build-
ing inspector, or fire department official will be able to
make the inspection or direct you to someone who can.
The chimney should extend at least 3’ (914mm) above
the highest point where it passes through a roof, and at
least 2’ (610mm) higher than any portion of a building
within 10’ (3m).
To assure proper draft and good performance, any
chimney used with this stove should extend at least 16’
(5 m) above the flue collar of the stove.
Masonry Chimneys
An existing masonry chimney must be inspected to con-
firm that it has a lining. Do not use an unlined chimney.
The chimney also should be examined for cracks,
loose mortar, other signs of deterioration, and blockage.
Repair any defects before the chimney is used with
your stove.
