Use and Care Guide

x Distance to combustible materials – three feet (3 ft.). This includes adjacent buildings,

fences, protruding parts of the structure, roof overhang, plants and shrubs, etc.

x The installation must include a cleanout tee to enable the collection of fly ash and permit

periodic cleaning of the exhaust system. 90° elbows accumulate fly ash and soot,

thereby reducing exhaust flow and performance of the unit. Each elbow or tee reduces

draft potential by up to 30%.

x Total length of horizontal vent must not exceed 48” (4 ft.). Use three-inch (3”) U.L.-

approved CORN VENT TWIST-LOCK PIPE when installing this stove and follow the

manufacturer’s specifications for installation and clearances (we highly recommend

Simpson Dura-Vent corn twist-lock pipe – our Part Number AC-33000). Even though this

pipe interlocks, it is recommended to seal all connections with high temperature silicone

(our Part Number AC-RTV3) or aluminum duct seal tape. Use at least three screws to

secure the pipe to this unit’s exhaust blower. Also, if you do not use U.L.-approved twist-

lock corn pipe, be sure to use U.L.-approved Corn Vent pipe, and fasten each joint of the

pipe with at least three screws.

x The “L” vent or corn vent stainless exhaust system must be installed so as to be GAS

TIGHT! Follow the vent manufacturer’s installation instructions.

x The area where the vent pipe penetrates the exterior of the home must be sealed with

silicone or other means to maintain the vapor barrier between the exterior and the interior

of the home.

NOTE: These are guidelines only. Proper venting is accomplished by design and

common sense. In most installations, three-inch (3”) diameter venting is

adequate. If it does not vent properly, you must change it to four-inch (4”)

diameter venting.

DO NOT CONNECT TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR SYSTEM.
