IMPORTANT INSTALLATION POINTS
1. Size chimney fl ue to stove collar. This stove requires a minimum of a 6" diameter fl ue.
2. Never connect this unit to a chimney serving another appliance.
3. The chimney must meet all minimum height requirements.
4. Never use a chimney to ventilate a cellar or basement.
5. Contact your local building authority for approved methods of installation and any necessary permits and/or inspections.

MASONRY CHIMNEY

Connection may be made to a code-approved masonry chimney with fl ue liner. Before using an existing masonry chimney, clean the
chimney, inspect the fl ue liner and make any repairs needed to be sure it is safe to use. Make repairs before attaching the stove. The
connector stove pipe and fi ttings you will need to connect directly to a lined masonry chimney are shown in fi gure 10. If the connector
stove pipe must go through a combustible wall before entering the masonry chimney, consult a qualifi ed mason or chimney dealer.
The installation must conform to local building and fi re codes and latest edition of NFPA 211. If there is a clean out opening in the
base of the chimney, close it tightly.
MANUFACTURED CHIMNEY
REFER TO CHIMNEY AND CHIMNEY CONNECTOR MAKER'S INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION AND USE.
Use only 6" diameter chimney listed to UL 103 HT. Chimney made to this listing is High Temperature rated to 2100 degrees Fahrenheit.
Use chimney from only one manufacturer. Never mix brands. Carefully follow the chimney manufacturer's stated requirements and
clearances. Use the chimney manufacturer's attic guards, roof supports, fl ashing and fi re stops when passing through a ceiling.
Use a listed thimble when passing through a combustible wall. Do not use makeshift
compromises during installation. WARNING: DO NOT USE A SINGLE-WALL CONNECTION PIPE AS A CHIMNEY!
When using a pre-existing chimney, have it's condition and installation inspected before using. Make sure that the chimney meets
all of the UL rating requirements listed above. Be aware that not all manufactured chimney is of the UL 103 HT type. NOTE: It is
recommended that you contact a licensed heating and cooling contractor (consult your
local yellow pages) for chimney installation. Manufactured chimney with the proper required UL listing is available from most home
centers, hardware stores, and HVAC supply stores. If you have access to the internet, you may wish to view chimney manufacturers'
information on-line. See, www.duravent.com, www.selkirkinc.com, or www.mtlfab.com.
VENTING TO EXISTING FIREPLACE
In some instances, people desire to convert an existing fi replace for stove use. Usually, safe connection to an existing masonry
chimney requires more work than using a prefabricated chimney. The existing fi replace must be closed and sealed at the damper
with high-temperature caulk, ceramic wool, or furnace cement. Prior to installation, clean and inspect the existing fl ue and smoke
shelf. Installation should be designed so the system can be dismantled for periodic cleaning and inspection. Before conversion,
make sure the existing chimney is structurally sound, the chimney incorporates a fl ue liner and make sure it is in good condition.
(A fl ue liner consists of clay tile that protects the brickwork of a chimney. If a chimney does not have a liner, or it is damaged, have
it relined by a professional.
