Page 4: Introduction
INTRODUCTION This manual contains all the information required for safe, efficient installation and use of your Valcourt fireplace. Read carefully all the instructions contained herein and keep this manual handy so you may refer to it whenever necessary. Before starting to install the fireplace, consult local authorities to obtain a construction permit and learn about all applicable regulatory requirements. -

ATTENTION: Do not modify or adapt the fireplace’s construction or components. This would void the warranty. In this event, VALCOURT FIREPLACES INC. would not be held responsible for any damages which may occur. - Page 6 pressure and smoke flow reversal. Fireplaces with outdoor chimneys installed on lower floors (basements) are particularly prone to smoke flow reversal. As for the chimney’s configuration, there are several possibilities. See Figure #3 to determine the appropriate configuration for your home. The straighter the chimney, the easier it will be to clean and maintain. Figure #2: Various Fireplace Locations...

CHIMNEY INSTALLATION 1. Assemble the first chimney section with the adaptor (provided by the chimney manufacturer) using three ¾” (19 mm) screws. 2. Screw this assembly to the fireplace using four ¾” (19 mm) screws, taking care not to block the rotation of the flue damper key. - Page 11 INSTALLATION: The chimney must be relined with a stainless steel liner model Tubinox or Projet SS or any other listed liner or flexible liner to ULC-S635, ULC-S640 or UL777 of the same diameter as the outlet of the fireplace. For connection at 45 angle, a special connector (BISPMA for the 7 in. chimney) must be used to connect the liner to the insulated chimney.

- Page 13 Figure #6.1: Minimum Chimney Height Installation with an 7 in. EXCEL chimney Installing your fireplace with a masonry chimney still requires using EXCEL chimney from the top of the fireplace to the wall where it will connect to a listed liner that will run up inside the masonry chimney. The stainless steel liner should be fitted inside the clay liner all the way to the top of the masonry chimney.
- Page 14 3. You will need enough room to secure an elbow to it with at least two screws. If it difficult to install rigid stainless steel liner in the existing masonry chimney or for a masonry chimney with less than 10” x 10” inside, a listed stainless steel flexible liner can be used along with a flexible/rigid adaptor (LM-LAF) available from your ICC dealer.

Page 21: Use And Safety
DO NOT OVERHEAT 8. Use the log support made by VALCOURT FIREPLACES INC. Burn only the quantity of combustible it can contain. Do not burn garbage, painted wood or wood that has been exposed to salt water. -
Page 22: Creosote
CREOSOTE When wood burns slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors which combines with humidity to produce creosote. Creosote vapor condenses in the chimney left relatively cool by the slow fire and coats the inside of the flue with residue. When creosote ignites, it produces a red-hot, extremely dangerous fire. It is therefore recommended to make small, brightly burning fires rather than lazy, smoldering fires. -
Page 23: Replacing Glass
5. Handle the glass with care to avoid injury. 6. Allow to dry for 24 hours. NOTE: Never use substitute parts. Use only Valcourt brand parts. REPLACING FIRESTONE IN A MONTCALM FIREPLACE Do not use the fireplace with a broken or missing firestone. - Page 24 Figure #15: Replacing Montcalm Firestones...

TROUBLESHOOTING Expansion and contraction noises during the heating and cooling cycle are normal.
