which the chimney connector passes to the
chimney. It keeps the walls from igniting. You
must use a wall thimble when installing a
chimney connector through a combustible wall to
the chimney.
•
A wall pass-through
package) also keeps the walls from igniting. You
must use one when connecting through a wall or
ceiling to a prefabricated chimney.
•
Only install this stove to a lined masonry chimney
or an approved high temperature prefabricated
residential
chimney. Do not connect this stove to a chimney
serving another appliance; you will compromise
the safe operation of both the wood stove and
the connected appliance.

NSTALLING A
Stovepipe sections must be attached to the stove and
to each other with the crimped end toward the stove.
If creosote builds up, this allows the creosote to run
into the stove and not the outside of the stovepipe
and onto the stove.
Secure all joints, including attaching the stovepipe to
the stove's flue collar, with three sheet metal screws.
Install #10 x 1/2" (3 mm x 13 mm) sheet metal screws
into the holes pre-drilled in the flue collar. Leaving off
