VENTING SPECIFICATIONS FOR
INSTALLATION
The fireplace chimney flue and vent must be drafting properly. To
check the vent for proper drafting: Light a tightly rolled newspaper
on one end and place it at the inside front edge of the fireplace.
Observe the smoke and be sure the vent is properly drawing it up
the chimney. If the smoke spills out into the room, extinguish the
flame and remove any obstruction until proper venting is achieved.
The chimney flue damper must be fixed open to provide a minimum
of 81 sq. in. of free air opening during operation of this log set. A multi-
purpose damper clamp is provided to fix the damper in position.
INSTALLING DAMPER CLAMP
Secure the damper stop clamp provided to the leading edge of the
damper as shown in Figure 3. If for any reason this clamp doesn't
work on your fireplace, another suitable clamp or permanent stop
must be installed, or the damper blade must be cut or removed.

CAUTION: Use only new, black iron or steel pipe.
Internally-tinned copper tubing may be used in certain
areas. Check your local codes. Use pipe of 1/2" diam-
