INSTALLATION INTO A MASONRY FIREPLACE
Preparation
Measure your hearth to ensure it is large
enough to accept the unit.
Unit must have a 36" clearance from the top of
the stove to a mantel in accordance with NFPA
211.
For Canada: Hearth must extend at least 18 in
(450.0 mm) from the front of the fuel opening.
Keep in mind that this type of installation
will make it difficult to change speeds on
the blower frequently. We recommend
picking a blower speed and sticking with it,
since adjusting the blower will be difficult
because of the tight installation.
WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ADJUST
BLOWER DURING OPERATION. SKIN
BURNS MAY OCCUR WHEN MAKING
CONTACT WITH THE UNIT. WAIT FOR UNIT
TO COMPLETELY COOL BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO ADJUST BLOWER.
Inspect your hearth to be sure it is constructed
of a noncombustible material such as brick or
stone. Do not install this stove on a hearth that
is constructed of wood framework that is
covered by brick or stone and do not install
this unit in a zero (0) clearance fireplace.
The manufacturer will not be held responsible
for an accident resulting from this stove being
installed on a hearth constructed of a
combustible material.
Inspect your fireplace to ensure it is in proper
working order and free of any obstructions.
Prior to installation, remove the existing
damper or wire it to fasten it open.
Venting Your Stove - Direct Connect
When this unit is direct connected it will require six inch (6") diameter 24 gauge pipe from the stove through the
damper opening. (NOTE: The chimney connector must be attached to the appliance
with a minimum of three (3) screws, and 3 screws should be used to attach each adjoining section.)
We highly recommend having the chimney fully lined with a 6 inch liner to ensure proper draft. This will make it
necessary to block off the open area on both sides of the pipe that passes through the damper opening, which
can be done with sheet metal or by packing flame retardant fiberglass insulation in the open areas (no paper or
combustibles). You must be sure the draft from the chimney is being pulled through the stove, and not around
the connector pipe.
We highly recommend you have this done by a professional. You should also contact your local authorities to
be sure you are following all codes.
INSTALLATION
The 10‐3‐2 Rule: The chimney system must terminate 3.0 ft. above the
point where its centerline passes through the roof AND the chimney
must terminate 2.0 ft. above any part of the dwelling within a 10 ft.
radius of the chimney.
