Installing The Stove; Importance Of Proper Draft - Appalachian Stove & Fabricators 52-Bay Installation And Operation Procedures

6. INSTALLING THE STOVE

A) Slide the stove into the fireplace, centering it within the
fireplace opening.
B) Push the stove back until the trim panels seat firmly
against the face of the fireplace, compressing the insulation
to accomplish a seal.
C) Do not block air inlets on a factory built fireplace.
(D) In a mobile home, the outside air connection of the
factory built fireplace MUST be connected with the stoves
outside air connector.
(E) Be sure to use class A of "HT" pipe
NOTE: Be sure the damper opening of the stove lies behind
the lintel to prevent overheating the fireplace facing.
NOTE: If the floor of the fireplace is recessed, it must be
built up with non-combustible materials such as brick, scrap
metal, etc. The 52 Bay should sit level in the fireplace to
function properly.
This completes the installation of your 52 Bay. Please refer to

7. IMPORTANCE OF PROPER DRAFT

Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance up
through the chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney
depends on the length of the chimney, local geography,
nearby obstructions and other factors. Too much draft may
lead to excessive temperatures in the appliance and may
damage the catalytic combustors. Inadequate draft may cause
backpuffing into the room and "plugging" of the chimney
catalyst.
NOTE: Inadequate draft will cause the appliance to leak
smoke into the room through the appliance and chimney
connector joints.
NOTE: An uncontrollable burn or a glowing red stove part
or chimney connector indicates excessive draft.
