PRE-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE INSTALLATION OF YOUR APPLIANCE

(NOTE: Before installing your appliance be sure to write down the model and serial numbers and keep them in

a safe place. Once installed this information is no longer visible on your appliance.)

1. Check with the building inspector’s ofﬁ ce 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 ﬂ ue 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 ﬂ ue 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,

ﬂ ammable liquids or other combustible materials too close to the unit. Refer to certiﬁ cation label on back of your

unit for required clearances.

9. Contact your local municipal or provincial ﬁ re authority for information on how to handle a chimney ﬁ re. Have a

clearly understood plan to handle a chimney ﬁ re. In the event of a chimney ﬁ re, slide air control to the lowest position

and CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

10. DO NOT tamper with combustion air control beyond normal adjustment.

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 pufﬁ ng 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 efﬁ cient 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 difﬁ cult time to raise the “chimney ﬂ ue” temperature

to give adequate draft, therefore causing a smoke back up, poor burn, or both.

Should you experience such a problem call 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.)

Attempts to achieve higher output rates that exceed heater design speciﬁ cations can result in permanent damage to the

heater. The recommended wood load is level with the top of the ﬁ rebricks. Overloading may prevent sufﬁ cient air

entering the heater to properly fuel the ﬁ re. Important: For optimum heater performance at “low” burn rate, operate the

fan at low speed.

CAUTION

After reading these instructions, if you have any doubt about your ability to complete your installation in

a professional like manner, you should obtain the services of an installer versed in all aspects as to the

correct and safe installation. DO NOT use temporary, makeshift compromises during installation.
