  • Page 5 Masonry Chimneys, cont'd. • Unused openings in an existing masonry chimney must be sealed with masonry to the thickness of the chimney wall, and the chimney liner should be repaired.

  • Page 6 Vermont Castings Madison Double-wall Chimney Connectors The Madison is approved for installation in the U.S. and Canada with double-wall chimney connectors that have been tested and listed for use with solid-fuel burning appliances by a recognized testing laboratory. Follow the instructions for assembling and install- ing double-wall connectors provided by the manufac- turer of the double-wall chimney.

  • Page 7: Wall Pass-Throughs

    Connection Above the Fireplace In this installation, the chimney connector enters the fireplace flue through a thimble located above the fireplace. (Fig. 6) The liner of the fireplace chimney should extend at least to the point at which the chim- ney connector enters the chimney.

  • Page 8: Canadian Requirements

    Vermont Castings Madison • Placing a chimney connector pipe inside a section of 9" (230 mm) diameter, solid-insulated, factory- built chimney, with two inches of air space between the chimney section and combustibles. (Fig. 10) Canadian Requirements: In Canada, the Canadian Standards Association has established specific guidelines regarding wall pass- though design.
  • Page 9 To meet these requirements, a floor protector must be at least 54” (1372mm) wide (“A”,Fig. 12) and 52” (1320mm) deep (“B”, Fig. 12). Fireplace Hearth Protection Do not assume that your fireplace hearth is completely noncombustible. Many fireplace hearths do not satisfy the “completely noncombustible”...
  • Page 10 Vermont Castings Madison Wall Shields Wall shields should be constructed of 24 gauge or heavier sheet metal, or another noncombustible material such as 1/2" (13 mm) insulation board (Fig. 14) or common brick "laid on flat," with the 3 " (90 mm) side down.

  • Page 11: Alcove Installations

    Alcove Installations Because of their restricted air flow and heat retention characteristics, specific construction requirements and special clearances apply to installations into alcoves. No stove or chimney connector heat shields are used in alcove installations. ALCOVE INSTALLATION OF THE MADISON IS NOT PERMITTED IN CANADA.

This option can be installed in two different configurations, with Rear Heat Shield #1893 and without the heat shield.

  • Page 17: Operation

    Operation How the Madison Works Combustion control is achieved in the Madison through two separate air delivery systems. The primary air control lever, located at the left rear corner of the stove, controls the amount of incoming primary air for starting, maintaining, and reviving the fire.

  • Page 18: Starting And Maintaining A Fire

    Vermont Castings Madison A more effective option for delivering ample combustion air to the stove is to duct air directly from outdoors to the stove. In fact, in some areas, provisions for outside combustion air are required in all new construction. The optional Madison Outside Air Adaptor is available from your dealer.

  • Page 19: Ash Disposal

    NOTE: Some chimneys need to be “primed,” or warmed up, before they will draw sufficiently to sustain a fire. To correct this situation, roll up a couple pieces of newspaper, place them on top of the kindling and toward the back of the stove, light them, and close the doors.

  • Page 20: Maintenance

    Vermont Castings Madison Maintenance Let the fire in the stove go out and allow the stove to cool completely before beginning any maintenance procedure. Care of the Cast Iron Surface An occasional dusting with a dry rag will keep the painted cast iron of your Madison looking new.

  • Page 21: The Chimney System

    The Chimney System Creosote Your Madison is designed to reduce creosote buildup significantly. However, regular chimney inspection and maintenance must still be performed. For safety, good stove performance, and to protect your chimney and chimney connector, inspect your chimney and chimney connector on a regular schedule.

  • Page 22: Draft Management

    Vermont Castings Madison Draft Management Your stove is only one part of a system that includes the chimney, the operator, the fuel and the home. The other parts of the system will affect how well the stove works. When there is a good match between all the parts, the stove works well.

  • Page 23: Negative Pressure

    There should be no more than eight feet of single-wall stove pipe between the stove and a chim- ney. Longer runs can cool the smoke enough to cause draft and creosote problems. Use double-wall stove pipe for longer runs. Single Venting Your stove requires a dedicated flue.
