3000271 03.07 3.3 Single Fan on Brick Chimney Step 1: Prepare fan location The installation procedure is the same whether the flue is round or square. If a clay tile flue liner is installed, it might stick up a few inches. Cut it back so it is flush with or no more than 1/2 inch above the chimney crown. Measure the inside diameter of the flue, cut a corresponding hole in the fiber mat leaving a minimum distance of 3/4” to any side of the fiber mat. The aluminum foil on the fiber mat must face upwards (against fan base). Step 2: Preparation of fan Locate the installation brackets in the grooves on the underside of the fan base using the bolts and nuts supplied to secure the brackets. -

3000271 03.07 5. Start-Up and Configuration 5.1 System testing Before any adjustments are made to the system, follow these procedures: Turn the chimney fan ON and make sure that it is operating. Increase and decrease the speed of the fan by adjusting the fan speed control to make sure it is operating properly. Danger: Check heating appliances (water heater, furnace, etc.) for proper operation while the chimney fan is operating. Make sure no flue gases are spilling out as this can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning. -
Page 12: Operating Fireplace And Stove
3000271 03.07 5.4 Operating Fireplace and Stove Prior to starting a fire, set the fan at high/full speed and start the fire following the normal instructions for burning a fire in a fireplace or stove. After the fire catches on, after 3-5 minutes, reduce the speed of the chimney fan to a level where it safely removes the flue gases and a perfect flame can be maintained. When adding wood to the fire, it may be necessary to increase the fan speed for a short period of time. Following this procedure will help conserve energy and at the same time assure a maximum heating output from the heating appliance. 5.5 Operating Pizza Oven Prior to starting a fire, set the fan at high/full speed and start the fire following the oven manufacturer’s instructions or, in the absence of such instructions, normal instructions for burning a fire in a fireplace or stove. After the fire catches on, after 3-5 minutes, reduce the speed of the chimney fan to a level where it safely removes the flue gases and a perfect flame can be maintained. When adding wood to the fire, it may be necessary to increase the fan speed for a short period of time. Caution: Do not over-fire the fireplace, stove or pizza oven. Small deposits of creosote could be ignited and start a small chimney fire which could cause the chimney flue to reach a dangerously high temperature. -
