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 cause excessive temperatures in the
appliance. Inadequate draft may cause backpuffing into
the room and 'plugging' of the chimney. Inadequate draft
will cause the appliance to leak smoke into the room
through appliance and chimney connector joints. An
uncontrollable burn or excessive temperature indicates
excessive draft. Take into account the chimney's location
to ensure it is not too close to neighbors or in a valley
which may cause unhealthy or nuisance conditions.
VENTING
WARNING:
• INSTALL VENT AT CLEARANCES SPECIFIED BY
THE VENT MANUFACTURER.
• DO NOT CONNECT THE PELLET VENT TO A VENT
SERVING ANY OTHER APPLIANCE OR STOVE.
• DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE
EXHAUST VENTING SYSTEM OF THIS UNIT.
This unit is certified for use with listed TYPE PL-Vent, 3"
or 4" diameter in size. The stove was tested with Simpson
Duravent brand. Class "A" chimney is not required. Refer
to the instructions provided by the vent manufacturer,
especially when passing through a wall, ceiling or roof.
This is a pressurized exhaust system. All vent connector
joints must be sealed with 500°F (260°C) RTV silicone
sealant to ensure consistent performance and avoid
smoke spillage. All horizontal connector joints must be
sealed with UL-181-AP foil tape. We recommend that all
vertical vent connector joints be secured with a minimum
of 3 screws. It is strongly recommended that you have a
minimum of 6' of vertical pipe in your exhaust system.
For best performance of the stove limit the number
of elbows and horizontal pipe as much as possible. A
chimney connector shall not pass thorough an attic or
roof space, closet or similar concealed space, or a floor,
or ceiling. Where passage through a wall, or partition of
combustible construction is desired, the installation shall
conform to CAN/CSA-B365, installation code for solid-
Fuel-Burning appliances and equipment.
ASSEMBLING PEDESTAL OR LEG SET
If using a pedestal, follow the instructions inside the
Pedestal Set. If using cast legs, follow the instructions
inside the Leg Set. Legs are installed by using the four
