• Oval outlets (Figure 11)
Use a piece of string to measure
the distance around the stove collar
(Circumference)
If the string measures 19” or a little more
then use 6” stove pipe
If the string measures 22” or a little more
then use 7” stove pipe
If the string measures 25” or a little more
then use 8” stove pipe
Use the DVL 12” adjustable section and
eld ovalize it to match the shape of the oval
outlet on the stove.

MAINTENANCE:
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar
and other organic vapors, which combine
with expelled moisture to form creosote. The
creosote vapors condense in the relatively
cool ues of a slow burning re. As a result,
creosote residue accumulates on the ue
lining. When ignited, this creosote makes an
extremely hot re.
CLEANING:
1. Double wall connector pipe must
be installed so that access is provided for
inspection and cleaning.
2. The connector and chimney should be
inspected at least once every month during
the heating season to determine if a creosote
or soot has built up. If creosote or soot has
accumulated, it should be removed to reduce
the risk of chimney re.
3. Have your connector and chimney
cleaned by a professional chimney sweep if
you have doubts about your ability to clean it.
Use a plastic, wood or exible steel brush.
4. When burning Coal clean the chimney
thoroughly within 48 hours of shutting down
the stove for the season. Check the chimney
lining for sulfuric acid corrosion regularly.
5. Do not use chemical chimney cleaners.
Their use does not eliminate the need for
mechanical cleaning and they may be highly
corrosive.
6. If a ue re occurs, close all appliance
draft openings and call your Fire Department.
Do not use the chimney again until it is
inspected for possible damage.
