SAFETY NOTICE:
IF THIS STOVE IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED, A HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT. FOR YOUR
SAFETY, FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION DIRECTIONS. CONTACT LOCAL BUILDING OR FIRE
OFFICIALS FOR RESTRICTIONS AND INSPECTIONS IN YOUR AREA.
SECTION I: FLUE SYSTEM
This stove is designed to install into a masonry fireplace. The minimum opening is 28" wide x
24" high x 16" deep and you must have at least fourteen inches (14") of hearth extending from the
fireplace face.
Flue Size Needed:
The proper flue size is normally determined by the inside diameter of the opening on the unit,
which in this case is six inches (6"). Therefore, the connector pipe should be the same size or larger
and never less in diameter than the opening on the stove. The area of the chimney liner in square
inches must also be equal to or larger than the area of the opening on the stove. If the area of the flue
is larger than the area of the opening on the stove, it should never be more than three (3) times larger.
SECTION II: INSTALLATION INTO A MASONRY FIREPLACE
A. Preparation
Measure your hearth to ensure it is large enough to accept the unit. Your hearth should be at least
1.
thirty-six inches (36") wide and fourteen inches (14") from the face of the fireplace to the edge of
the hearth.
Inspect your hearth to be sure it is constructed of a noncombustible material such as brick or
2.
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.
3.
Prior to installation, remove the existing damper or wire it to fasten it open.
4.
Place the insert on the hearth and slide about one-third (1/3) of it into the opening.
5.
B. Venting Your Insert
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.) 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. (See Illustration 3
and "Backplate Instructions"). We highly recommend you have this done by a professional. You
should contact your local authorities to be sure you are following all codes.
