Masonry Fireplace - England's Stove Works Smartstove 50-SHSSW02 Installation & Operation Manual

INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION INTO A MASONRY FIREPLACE
Preparation
Measure your hearth to ensure it is large enough to accept the unit.
Unit must have a 36" clearance from the top of the stove to a mantel in accordance with NFPA 211
For the USA: Hearth must extend at least 16 in. from the front of the fuel opening.
For Canada: Hearth must extend at least 18 in (450.0 mm) from the front of the fuel opening.
Keep in mind that this type of a installation will make it difficult to change speeds on the
blower frequently. We recommend picking a blower speed and sticking with it, since
adjusting the blower will be difficult because of the tight installation.
WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ADJUST BLOWER DURING OPERATION. SKIN BURNS
MAY OCCUR WHEN MAKING CONTACT WITH THE UNIT. WAIT FOR UNIT TO COMPLETELY
COOL BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO ADJUST BLOWER.
Inspect your hearth to be sure it is constructed of a noncombustible material such as brick or
stone. Do not install this stove on a hearth that is constructed of wood framework that is covered
by brick or stone and do not install this unit in a zero (0) clearance fireplace. The manufacturer will
not be held responsible for an accident resulting from this stove being installed on a hearth
constructed of a combustible material.
Inspect your fireplace to ensure it is in proper working order and free of any obstructions.
Prior to installation, remove the existing damper or wire it to fasten it open.
Venting Your Stove - Direct Connect
When this unit is direct connected it will require six inch (6") diameter 24 gauge pipe from the stove
through the damper opening. (NOTE: The chimney connector must be attached to the appliance
with a minimum of three (3) screws, and 3 screws should be used to attach each adjoining
section.)
We highly recommend having the chimney fully lined with a 6 inch liner to ensure proper draft. This
will make it necessary to block off the open area on both sides of the pipe that passes through the
damper opening, which can be done with sheet metal or by packing flame retardant fiberglass
insulation in the open areas (no paper or combustibles). You must be sure the draft from the
chimney is being pulled through the stove, and not around the connector pipe. .
We highly recommend you have this done by a professional. You should also contact your local
authorities to be sure you are following all codes.
