6. DO NOT connect this appliance to any air distribution duct
or system.
7. DO NOT tamper with the combustion air control of this unit
beyond normal adjustment range.
8. Provide adequate combustion air to the room where the appliance is installed. Restricting combustion air will result in a
lazy fi re which causes soot or creosote buildup and greatly
reduces effi ciency.
9. Always connect this appliance to a chimney that vents to the
outside. Never vent into another room, crawl space, attic,
or inside a building. DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A
CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
10. DO NOT connect a wood burning appliance to an aluminum
Type B gas vent. This is not safe. Use approved masonry
or a UL 103 HT (U.S.) Listed Residential Type and Building
Heating Appliance Chimney. Use a 6” diameter chimney, that
is high enough to create suffi cient draft.
11. Be sure your chimney is safely constructed and in good
repair. Have the chimney inspected by the fi re department
or a qualifi ed inspector. Your insurance company should be
able to recommend a qualifi ed inspector.
12. Creosote or soot may build up in the chimney liner or chimney
and cause a house/building fi re. Inspect the chimney and
chimney liner twice monthly during the heating season and
clean if necessary.
13. In the event of a chimney fi re, turn the air controls to the
closed position, leave the building and CALL THE FIRE
DEPARTMENT IMMEDIATELY!

temperatures. Never leave small children unsupervised
when they are in the same room as the appliance during
operation. To prevent burns, always wear protective clothing,
leather hearth gloves, and eye protection when refueling or
fi re maintenance. Always be aware of heated surfaces. Heat
radiating from the appliance can potentially discolor, melt,
or even ignite combustible materials. KEEP ALL COMBUS-
TIBLE MATERIALS WELL AWAY FROM THE HEATER!
17. WARNING: RISK OF FIRE. Keep the feed door tightly closed
at all times except when tending the fi re.
18. DO NOT overfi re this appliance. Overfi
feed door is left open during operation. If any part of the
appliance glows, you are overfi ring. Adjust air controls to a
lower setting to slow down the fi re.
19. DO NOT ELEVATE THE FIRE! Build the fi re directly on the
fi rebrick. This appliance has not been tested with the use of
any means to elevate the fi re and it should not be attempted.
20. Ashes should not be allowed to accumulate more than two
to three inches in the fi rebox.
21. The paint on your appliance is durable but will not stand rough
handling or abuse. The paint used may give off smoke and/or
an odor during the fi rst few fi res. This will occur until the paint
has cured. Animals / people with lung problems should not
be present during the curing process. Build small fi res at fi rst
to help this process and open windows and doors as needed
to clear the smoke and odor. If the appliance is overfi red,
the paint will discolor. When installing your unit, take care
in handling. Clean with soap and water when the appliance
is not in use. Do not use any acids, abrasive cleaners or
scouring soap as these solvents wear and dull the fi nish.
22. DO NOT ROUTE THE BLOWER POWER SUPPLY CORD
NEAR OR ACROSS HOT SURFACES!
23. Canada Installations requires that this fi replace must be
installed with a continuous chimney liner of 6 inch diameter
extending from the fi replace insert to the top of the chimney.
The chimney liner must conform to the Class 3 requirements
of CAN/ULC-S635, Standard for Lining Systems for Existing Masonry or Factory-Built Chimneys and Vents, or CAN/
ULC-S640, Standard for Lining Systems for New Masonry
Chimneys.
24. Permanently seal any opening between the masonry of the
fi replace and the facing masonry.
25. Fireplace insert surround panels may be removed to inspect
fi replace insert and fi replace.

FIREPLACE CONDITION AND
ZERO CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS
A masonry fi replace must meet minimum code require-
ments, National Fire Protection Association, (NFPA) 211,
or the equivalent for a safe installation. Contact a professional, licensed installer, your local building inspector or
the local fi re authority for the requirements in your area.
Your insurance company should be able to recommend a
qualifi ed inspector.
Inspections should include the following:
1. Condition of the fi replace and chimney. A masonry
fi replace and chimney MUST be inspected prior to installation of this appliance. They must be free from
cracks, loose mortar, creosote deposits, blockage or
other evidence of deterioration. If found, these items
MUST be repaired prior to installation. DO NOT REMOVE BRICKS or MORTAR from existing fi replace
when installing this unit.
2. Chimney Size. Minimum chimney size is 6˝ (152mm)
diameter. Maintain a 15 ft. minimum overall chimney
height measured from the top of appliance to the top
of the chimney. Chimneys must extend at least 3 ft.
above the roof and at least 2 ft. above the highest
point within 10 ft. of the chimney top. See the Chimney Connections section of this manual.
3. Zero Clearance or Metal Heatform Fireplaces.
These fi replaces and chimneys must meet the mini-
mum code specifi cations as noted above. Factory
built zero clearance fi replaces must be listed and
suitable for solid fuel use. Chimneys must be at least
7 inch diameter to accommodate a required, continuous, stainless steel liner from the appliance’s fl ue col-
lar to the top termination of the chimney.
Only detachable parts that can be easily replaced (i.e.
damper parts, screens, doors and side, and back refractory panels) are to be removed. These parts must
be stored and readily available for replacement if the
appliance is ever removed. The removal of any parts
that render the fi replace unusable for burning solid
fuel requires a permanent label to be affi xed by the in-
staller that states the fi replace is unsuitable for burn-
ing solid fuel unless the missing parts are replaced
and the fi replace is restored to its original, certifi ed
condition.
4. Chimney Caps. Mesh type chimney caps and spark
arrestors must be able to be removed for regular inspection and cleaning. Otherwise the mesh should be
removed to prevent possible plugging. Check your local fi re and building codes.
5. Chimney Liner. The chimney must be suitable for

draw steadily, burns poorly or ineffi ciently, back-
drafts or experiences back-puffi ng when adding
fuel.
VENTING (DRAFT) REQUIREMENTS
The chimney fl ue is a critical component to the proper and
effi cient operation of any heating appliance. Heating appli-
ances do not create draft, draft is provided by the chimney.
This appliance requires a draft of 0.05 in. water column
(0.1 Pa) at the fl ue collar.
WARNING: RISK OF FIRE - EXCESSIVE DRAFT CAN
CAUSE OVERFIRING AND A POSSIBLE STRUCTURE
FIRE. DO NOT OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE WITH
THE FLUE DRAFT EXCEEDING 0.06 in. w.c. (0.1 Pa).
To achieve proper draft, your chimney must meet three
minimum height requirements; minimum height from top of
appliance (15 ft. total height from top of appliance), minimum
height above roof penetration (3 ft.), and minimum height
(2 ft.) above highest point of roof within a 10 ft. diameter
from the chimney.
The chimney must also meet minimum and maximum
cross sectional requirements. For that reason a continuous 6˝ stainless steel liner from the fl ue collar to the top
of the chimney is required. A stainless steel adapter is
recommended for fastening the stainless steel liner to the
fl ue collar. The male (or crimped) end of the adapter must
be installed inside the fl ue collar to allow condensation or
creosote in the liner to drain back into the fi rebox. Chimney
liners and/or adapters must be permanently fastened using
a minimum of three (3) screws at each connection.
Chimneys outside of the home or on an exterior wall are
diffi cult to keep at operating temperatures and may result
in increased creosote buildup, less draft, back drafting
problems and poor appliance performance and should be
avoided.
FLOOR PROTECTOR
A solid non-combustible fl oor, concrete or solid masonry,
must extend 6˝ to either side of the body of the appliance
and 12˝ in front of the face of the appliance.
When combustible fl ooring falls within these minimum
dimensions, it must be covered with a listed fl oor protec-
tor meeting the requirements of UL 1618, such as Hy-C
or Imperial Model UL 2840BK or equivalent with 0.84 Rfactor, 1” thick. (Note: to calculate R-value of alternative
materials see Floor Protector Material Calculations at
the back of this manual.) A grouted ceramic fl oor tile that
meets local building codes and the minimum 0.84 R-factor
requirements is considered a durable equivalent.
WARNING: RISK OF FIRE - DO NOT ALLOW COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS (CARPET, FURNITURE,
FUELS) TO BE PLACED ON OR COVER THE FLOOR
PROTECTOR. ALL COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS MUST
REMAIN OUTSIDE OF THE MINIMUM CLEARANCE
DIMENSIONS.

CHIMNEY SPECIFICATIONS
This appliance must be connected to a listed Stainless
Steel Liner, that meets UL1777, which extends from the
collar to the chimney cap according to the specifi cations
listed on the previous pages.
Chimneys perform two functions:
1. As a means of exhausting smoke and fl ue gases which
are the result of fuel combustion.
2. The chimney provides “draft,” which allows oxygen to
be continuously introduced into the appliance, so that
proper combustion is possible. This stove relies on
natural draft to operate.
NOTICE: Always provide a source of fresh air into the
room where the stove is located. Failure to do so may
result in air starvation of other fuel burning appliances and
the possible development of hazardous conditions, fi re,
or death.
Your appliance itself does not create draft. Draft is provided by the chimney. To achieve proper draft your chimney
must meet the three minimum height requirements detailed in fi gure 8. A minimum draft of 0.05 w.c. (measured
in water column) is required for proper drafting to prevent
back puffi ng, smoke spillage, and to maximize perfor-
mance. (Gauges to measure draft are readily available
at stove stores and are economical to rent or purchase.)
Factors such as wind, barometric pressure, trees, terrain
and chimney temperature can have an adverse effect on
the draft. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible
for external factors leading to less than optimal drafting.
Should you have a problem with inadequate draft, you
should contact a licensed heating and cooling contractor
for assistance in solving the problem.
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION POINTS
1. Size chimney fl ue to appliance collar. This stove re-
quires a minimum 6” diameter fl ue.
2. Never connect this unit to a chimney serving another
appliance.
3. The chimney must meet all minimum height requirements.
4. Never use a chimney to ventilate a cellar or basement.
5. Contact your local building authority for approved methods of installation and any necessary permits and/or
inspections.
MASONRY CHIMNEY
Before using an existing masonry chimney, clean the
chimney, inspect the fl ue liner, and make any repairs
needed to be sure it is safe to use. As mentioned previously, this appliance requires a continuous stainless steel
liner from the appliance collar to the chimney cap. Make
repairs before attaching the stove. The connector stove
pipe and fi ttings you will need to connect directly to a ma-
sonry chimney are detailed in the installation instructions.
If the fi replace chimney must go through a combustible
wall before entering the main chimney, consult a qualifi ed
mason or chimney dealer regarding proper materials that
meet all local building and fi re authority codes. The instal-
lation must conform to local building and fi re codes and
latest edition of NFPA 211.
If there is a cleanout opening in the base of the chimney,
close it tightly.
