ADDENDUM #1 Altitude Considerations
This heater has been tested at altitudes ranging from sea level to 8,000 feet (2,400 M). In this testing we
have found that the heater, with its standard orifice, burns correctly with just an air shutter adjustment.
For information on adjusting the air shutter see page 18 of this manual.
!
Failure to adjust the air shutter properly may lead to improper combustion which can create a
safety hazard. Please consult your dealer or installer if you suspect an improperly adjusted air
shutter.
ADDENDUM #2 Class A Chimney Conversion Kit
Simpson Duravent provides a conversion kit for those wishing to use
an existing wood stove chimney to vent this direct vent stove. The
illustration below gives an overview of this type of installation. See
the instructions included with the kit for details.
! The conversion kit does not work on interior masonry chimneys.
! Do not exceed the maximum vertical rise (see the section
"Approved Vent Configurations" starting on page 9) allowable.
Remember to set the restrictor position to the correct position
(based upon the vertical rise height - see the chart on page 10).
