Your appliance may be hooked up with a factory built or masonry chimney. If you are using a factory built chim-
ney, it must comply with ULCS629 (Canada) or UL103 (USA) standards. It must therefore be a 6" HT Type
(2100°F) chimney. It is extremely important that it be installed according to the manufacturer's specifi cations.
The manufacturer's installation instructions and specifi ed clearances should always be followed in accordance
with local and national codes. In Canada the CSA B365 and the CSA C22.1 installation codes are to be fol-
