    Vermont Castings Madison SAFETY NOTICE: If your stove is not properly in- stalled, operated and maintained, a house fire may result. For safety, follow all installation, operation and maintenance directions. Contact local building officials about restrictions and installation inspec- tion requirements in your area. Before you begin an installation, review your plans to be certain that: •...
  • Page 5 Masonry Chimneys, cont’d. • Unused openings in an existing masonry chimney must be sealed with masonry to the thickness of the chimney wall, and the chimney liner should be repaired. Openings sealed with pie plates or wallpa- per are a hazard and should be sealed with mortar or refractory cement.
  • Page 6 Vermont Castings Madison Double-wall Chimney Connectors The Madison is approved for installation in the U.S. and Canada with double-wall chimney connectors that have been tested and listed for use with solid-fuel burning appliances by a recognized testing laboratory. Follow the instructions for assembling and installing double-wall connectors provided by the manufacturer of the double-wall chimney.
  • Page 7 Connection Above the Fireplace In this installation, the chimney connector enters the fireplace flue through a thimble located above the fireplace. (Fig. 6) The liner of the fireplace chimney should extend at least to the point at which the chimney connector enters the chimney.
  • Page 8 Vermont Castings Madison • Placing a chimney connector pipe inside a section of 9” (230 mm) diameter, solid-insulated, factory-built chimney, with two inches of air space between the chimney section and combustibles. (Fig. 10) Canadian Requirements: In Canada, the Canadian Standards Association has established specific guidelines regarding wall pass- though design.

Fireplace Hearth Protection Do not assume that your fireplace hearth is completely noncombustible. Many fireplace hearths do not satisfy the “completely noncombustible”...
  • Page 10 Vermont Castings Madison Wall Shields Wall shields should be constructed of 24 gauge or heavier sheet metal, or another noncombustible mate- rial such as 1/2” (13mm) insulation board (Fig. 14) or common brick “laid on flat,” with the 3¹⁄₂" (89mm) side down.
  • Page 11 Alcove Installations Because of their restricted air flow and heat retention characteristics, specific construction requirements and special clearances apply to installations into alcoves. No stove or chimney connector heat shields are used in alcove installations. ALCOVE INSTALLATION OF THE MADISON IS NOT PERMITTED IN CANADA.

  • Page 16 Vermont Castings Madison Install the Outside Air Adapter The optional #1891 Outside Air Adapter provides a collar to which a 3” diameter air duct may be attached directly to the air inlet area at the back of the stove. This option can be installed in two different configura- tions, with Rear Heat Shield #1893 and without the heat shield.

  • Page 17: Operation

    How the Madison Works Combustion control is achieved in the Madison through two separate air delivery systems. The primary air control lever, located at the left rear corner of the stove, controls the amount of incoming pri- mary air for starting, maintaining, and reviving the fire. More air entering the stove makes the fire burn hotter and faster, while less air prolongs the burn at a lower heat level.
  • Page 18 Vermont Castings Madison In newer homes that are well-insulated and weather- tight, poor draft may result from insufficient air in the house. In such cases, a slightly opened window near the stove on the windward side of the house will provide the fresh air needed.
  • Page 19 NOTE: Some chimneys need to be “primed,” or warmed up, before they will draw sufficiently to sus- tain a fire. To correct this situation, roll up a couple pieces of newspaper, place them on top of the kindling and toward the back of the stove, light them, and close the doors.

  • Page 20: Maintenance

    Vermont Castings Madison Let the fire in the stove go out and allow the stove to cool completely before beginning any maintenance procedure. Care of the Cast Iron Surface An occasional dusting with a dry rag will keep the painted cast iron of your Madison looking new. The stove’s paint can be touched up as needed.
  • Page 21 The Chimney System Creosote Your Madison is designed to reduce creosote buildup significantly. However, regular chimney inspection and maintenance must still be performed. For safety, good stove performance, and to protect your chimney and chimney connector, inspect your chimney and chimney connector on a regular schedule.

  • Page 22: Draft Management

    Vermont Castings Madison Your stove is only one part of a system that includes the chimney, the operator, the fuel and the home. The other parts of the system will affect how well the stove works. When there is a good match between all the parts, the stove works well.
  • Page 23 There should be no more than eight feet of single-wall stove pipe between the stove and a chimney. Longer runs can cool the smoke enough to cause draft and creosote problems. Use double-wall stove pipe for longer runs. Single Venting Your stove requires a dedicated flue.
