INSTALLATION CHIMNEY CONFIGURATIONS Top Vent Installation - Required components • Chimney termination cap • Insulated chimney • Storm collar • Roof flashing • Ceiling support box or joist shield/fire stop spacer • Chimney connector pipe • Chimney connector/flue adapter DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE. DO NOT CONNECT TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR SYSTEM.
INSTALLATION CHIMNEY CONFIGURATIONS This stove must be connected to a chimney complying with the requirements for Type HT chimneys in the standards for Chimneys, a Factory-Built, Residential Type and Building Heating Appliance, UL 103. Or a code-approved masonry chimney with a flue liner. This prevents any amount of condensed or liquid creosote from running down the outside of the pipe or the stove top.
INSTALLATION CHIMNEY CONFIGURATIONS There are five allowable ways that a chimney connector can be connected to a masonry chimney by passing through a combustible wall. NFPA Standard 211 allows the following wall pass-through systems.
INSTALLATION CHIMNEY CONFIGURATIONS 1. Using a minimum thickness 3.5” (89 mm) brick and a 5/8” (15.9 mm) minimum wall thickness clay liner, construct a wall pass-through. The clay liner must conform to ASTM C315 (Standard Specification for Clay Fire Linings) or its equivalent. Keep a minimum of 12” (304.8 mm) of brick masonry between the clay liner and wall combustibles.
INSTALLATION CHIMNEY CONFIGURATIONS 3. Starting with a minimum 24 gauge (.024” [.61 mm]) 6” (152.4 mm) metal chimney connector, and a minimum 24 gauge ventilated wall thimble which has two air channels of 1” (25.4 mm) each, construct a wall pass-through. There shall be a minimum 6” (152.4) mm separation area containing fiberglass insulation, from the outer surface of the wall thimble to wall combustibles. Support the wall thimble, and cover its opening with a 24-gauge minimum sheet metal support.
INSTALLATION CHIMNEY CONFIGURATIONS 5. A listed factory-built wall pass-through system may be used if installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Additional requirements pertaining to wall pass-through systems: 1. Insulation material used as part of a wall pass-through system must be a non-combustible material and have a thermal conductivity of 1.0 Btu • in./ft.² • °F (4.88 kg • cal/hr • m² • °C) or less. 2.
INSTALLATION CHIMNEY CONFIGURATIONS Protected Wall Reduced Clearances: Local codes in some areas will allow reduced clearances when the stove is installed adjacent to a protected wall system. Your local building official must approve the variance. For details, check your local building codes.
GENERAL OPERATION Ash Pan: The ash pan located behind the fuel door is designed to make cleaning easier by containing the ashes in a removable drawer. The ash pan should be emptied on a regular basis. Frequency will depend upon fuel and how often the stove is used. Ash Shaker Grate: Above the ash pan located in the floor of the firebox is a rotating ash or “shaker” grate to facilitate transferring ashes from the firebox into the ash drawer.
GENERAL OPERATION WARNING! Burning materials other than naturally dried, well seasoned wood may shorten the life of your stove and possibly lead to a dangerous over-firing condition. Do not burn garbage, particle board, scraps or pressed logs containing bonding agents because they can produce conditions which will deteriorate stove components. The use of anything other than wood, such as fuels, flammable liquids, grease, etc. can damage your stove and can lead to a house fire.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING WARNING! BE SURE THE FIRE IS OUT AND THE STOVE IS COLD BEFORE ANY CLEANING OR MAINTENANCE. WORKING ON OR CLEANING YOUR STOVE WHILE IT’S STILL HOT CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS BURNS. The chimney and chimney connector should be inspected at least once every two months during the heating season to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred. If creosote has accumulated, it should be removed. Failure to remove creosote may cause a house fire.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING Unscrew the bolts that hold down the four stainless-steel frame pieces on the inside of the stove door, then carefully remove the frame pieces one by one. Once the four frame pieces have been removed, the glass should be loose on the door. All of the the glass can now be remove. Dispose of the broken glass in an appropriate manner.
