Chimney Height / Rise and Run
This product was designed for and tested on a 6 inch
(152mm) chimney, 12 to 14 feet (420-480cm) high, (includes
stove height) measured from the base of the appliance to
the the top of the chimney (not including chimney cap).
The further your stack height or diameter varies from this
configuration, the possibility of performance problems exists.
Chimney height may need to be increased by 2 - 3% per
each 1000 feet above sea level. It is not recommended to
use offsets or elbows at altitudes above 4000 feet above sea
level or when there are other factors that affect flue draft.
WARNING
Fire Risk.
Inspection of Chimney:
• Chimney must be in good condition.
• Meets minimum standard of NFPA 211
• Factory-built chimney must be 6 inch
(152mm) UL103 HT.
WARNING
Asphyxiation Risk.
•
DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIM-
NEY FLUE SERVICING ANOTHER APPLI-
ANCE.
• DO NOT CONNECT TO ANY AIR DISTRIBU-
TION DUCT OR SYSTEM.
May allow flue gases to enter the house.

Masonry Chimney Liner
For optimal performance, masonry chimneys used to vent
this appliance should be:
1. Lined with a 6 inch (152mm) stainless steel liner.
• Installations into a clay flue without a stainless steel
liner may reduce draw which affects performance,
cause the glass to darken and produce excessive
creosote.
2. It is recommended that a chimney with a larger diameter
than 6 inches (152mm) be relined.
• The oversized flue can cause poor performance and
contribute to the accumulation of creosote.
3. Have the chimney cleaned before the stove is installed
and operated.
The following bullets list the more critical requirements for a
properly constructed chimney:
• The masonry wall of the chimney, if brick or modular
block, must be a minimum of 4 inches (102mm) nominal
thickness.
• A chimney of rubble stone must be at least 12 inches
(305mm) thick.
• The chimney must have a fire clay flue liner (or equivalent)
with a minimum thickness of 5/8 inch (16mm) and must
be installed with refractory mortar.
• An equivalent liner must be a listed chimney liner system
or other approved material.
• Since an oversized flue contributes to the accumulation
of creosote, the size of the flue should be checked to
determine that it is not too large for the insert.
• The chimney should also be checked to ensure it meets
the minimum standard of the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA) Standard 211.
• A chimney support package must be used when a
connection is made through the ceiling to a factory built
chimney.
• An approved thimble and chimney support package
are absolutely necessary to provide safe clearances to
combustible wall and ceiling material.
NOTICE: In Canada, the installation shall conform to
CAN/CSA-B365.
NOTICE: Check with your local building authorities
and/or consult the National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA 211).
