9.5.2 If the Chimney Liner Does Not Align with the Insert's Flue Outlet

You can install a liner offset adapter (AC01370), which is sold separately. Please
note that an offset adaptor reduces the free flow of exhaust gases and may result in
smoke roll-out from the insert when it's door is opened for loading. Only use an
offset adaptor if a) there is no other alternative and b) if the total height of the
fireplace and chimney is at least 20 feet. If you must install a liner offset adapter,
secure the three brackets with the three screws provided (30131) on top of the
insert in the three holes in front of the flue outlet. The long end of the brackets must
be attached to the insert. The brackets and screws are in the insert's owner's
manual kit. Then follow the instructions in the manual provided with the liner offset
adapter kit.
9.6 Minimum
Height
The top of the chimney should be
tall enough to be above the air
turbulence caused when wind
blows against the house and its
roof. The chimney must extend at
least 1 m (3 ft.) above the highest
point of contact with the roof, and
at least 60 cm (2 ft.) higher than
any roof line or obstacle within a
horizontal distance of 3 m (10 ft.).
