NOTE: The vent opening should be completely inside
the pedestal.
C) PEDESTAL: Attach using the three (3) drill screws,
provided. Drill the holes in the correctly positioned
pedestal. The front left corner (blower side of the stove)
will not have a screw. The screws will make their own
holes in the stove bottom.
6. ATTACHING THE STOVE PIPE
Secure the first section of the pipe to the top of the stove
using the "L" bracket and screw provided. Place the
bracket behind the stove pipe so that one leg rests on the
stove top and the other into the pipe to hold the joint
firmly together.
7. CHIMNEY INSTALLATION
A) GENERAL
1. The single wall stove pipe used to connect the stove
to the flue, whether masonry or factory built, must be a
minimum of 24 gauge, blue or black steel.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE GALVANIZED PIPE.
2. Secure every pipe joint with three or more sheet metal
screws to prevent accidental separation.
3. If an elbow is installed, the horizontal section of the
stove pipe should slope 1/4" per foot to run toward the
stove to allow creosote to drip into the firebox and burn.
4. Always install the single wall stove pipe with the male
FIGURE 7
(crimped) end down to prevent leakage of creosote or
moisture.
5. The pipe is to be a minimum of 6" inside diameter.
B) 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.
