OPERATING THE MONTECITO ESTATE
Fuel - USE SOLID NATURAL WOOD FUEL
ONLY. The Montecito Estate is designed to
work best when fueled with dry seasoned
natural wood only. Hardwoods are preferred
to softwoods since the energy content of
wood is relative to its density. Hardwoods will
result in a longer burning fi re and less frequent
refueling. A moisture content of 15% to 20%
(seasoned) is recommended. Wood that has
been cut and split and let to dry under a cover
for a period of one year will usually meet that
criteria. Excessively wet wood will be diffi cult
to burn and will result in lower effi ciency, increased creosoting and deposits on the glass
and in the chimney. Excessively dry wood will
burn well but will also have higher emissions
and shorter burning time.
Do not burn scrap or garbage, treated wood or
wood such as driftwood from the ocean which
has been exposed to salt or other chemicals.
Salt or chemicals can corrode the fi rebox and
chimney. Do not burn large amounts of paper,
cardboard, Christmas tree branches or building construction materials. Intense fi ring with
these materials may overheat the fi replace,
causing damage to the unit, a fi re or even
possibly igniting a chimney fi re if the chimney
is creosoted.
First Fires
Before using the fi replace make sure to remove the plastic wrapping and EPA label on
the door. Remove any glue residue left by the
label using mild soap.
Make sure the doors are properly adjusted,
thus avoiding color change to fi nish due to
overheating.
The fi rst fi ve or six fi res should be small fi res
of short duration (about 30 to 60 minutes).
This will help cure the refractory bricks. The
fi rst fi res may produce slight smoking due
to curing of the paint and steel and the burning of any dust accumulated on the fi replace
which will burn off at this time. It may set off
a smoke alarm located in the same room. For
this reason the room should be well ventilated
for the fi rst few fi res.
HEAT OUTPUT
The Montecito Estate is the largest member of
the “Dave Lennox Signature Collection” of high
effi ciency fi replaces. The heat generated from its
fi re is more effi ciently captured and distributed.
In spite of the large amount of heat that the
Montecito Estate can deliver, it should not replace
the main source of heat in your home. This
fi replace will bring extra warmth and ambiance
to your home by distributing its heat as describe
further in the manual.

COMBUSTION CONTROLS
Primary Air & Air Boost Controls
There is no fl ue damper in the Montecito Estate™. As is common with air tight appliance,
the combustion air control sets the fl ow of air
entering the fi rebox. This allows for a more
precise control of the fi re. The combustion air
control is located below the door on the left side.
The main source of air (primary air) entering
the fi rebox can be diminished by moving the
air combustion control from left to right. The
primary air is fully opened when the air control
is completely moved to the left. This air combustion control should be in the closed position
when the fi replace is not in operation. This will
minimize air leakage up the chimney.
The combustion air control should be opened
before opening the doors to minimize the possibility of back draft coming into the room (Figure
1-A) More details are available in Refueling For
Best Performance on Page 5.
Time Delayed Air Boost System
The time delayed air-boost system register is
located underneath the door handles. Placed
in the fully opened position, a timer with a
maximum duration of 2 hours is engaged. The
register gradually reduces the amount of air
injected, allowing for a better start of the fi re,
whatever the conditions (See sections Building a Fire and Refueling For Best Performance for
proper sequence of operation). This allows
you to start the fi re, set the primary air control
to the desired burn level and the fi replace will
automatically adjust itself to that level once the
fi re is fully established (Figure 1-B).
Accelerated Combustion
The maximum heat output for the Montecito
Estate is achieved by burning with the door
closed and the combustion air opened and
pulled out. Through this method, the Montecito
Estate can produce up to 80,000 BTU of heat
per hour.
However, it will be necessary to reload with wood
every one or two hours. This is the least effi cient
method of burning the Montecito Estate .
Use caution when fi ring with the combustion
air control wide open. Only burn cord wood in
this manner. Small dry pieces of softwood and
construction scraps will burn very intensely using this method and may damage the fi rebox.

Medium Combustion
This is the recommended mode of operating
the Montecito Estate and should be the one
normally used since it will deposit the least
amount of creosote on the glass and in the
chimney. The combustion air control must be
3/4 closed. The precise setting will depend on
many factors, including chimney length and the
moisture content of the wood.
For instance, a long chimney will necessitate
closing the damper more. To obtain the proper
combustion, close the damper completely, then
open it about 1/4” to 1/2”. Three medium size
pieces of cord wood-burning on a bed of hot
coals will generate an approximate heat output
will of 35,000 BTU per hour and the loading time
will be about every 3-4 hours. Softwoods may
be burned using this method but the combustion
time will be substantially reduced.
Figure 3 - Medium Combustion

NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.
Slow Combustion
When the air combustion control is completely
closed, the fi replace is in a slow combustion
phase. If the hearth is hot enough, slow combustion will not extinguish the fi re, but there
will be a noticeable change in the fl ame pattern.
The fl ames will be slow and may appear dirty
if the wood is too wet (moisture content of
20% and more).
The unit will burn best with 2-3 pieces of cord
wood spaced 1 to 2 inches apart and allowing
air to get under the fuel. Criss-crossing or arranging the fuel so that air can get underneath
will help the fi re to get started easily. The unit
should be operated with the air control fully
open long enough to get the cord wood well
ignited.
REFUELING FOR BEST PERFORMANCE
As the fi re burns, air goes up the chimney. This
air must be replaced through the outside air duct.
When operating the Montecito Estate, open a
nearby window temporarily to check if there is
adequate air supply replacement. Occasionally,
there may be a small amount of smoking upon
lighting the fi re, until the chimney heats up but
this should not last. If the fi replace continues
to smoke it is probably for one of the following reasons:
Do not allow the wood to burn without fl ame,
since this will produce excessive creosote in
the unit. Creosote may accumulate on the glass
door. This method of burning should be used
only after operating the Montecito Estate™ with
the air control opened to produce a hot fi re for
about an hour or at medium pace for at least
three (3) hours. Slow combustion can be used
at night in order to reduce the heat output and
to prolong the burn. The loading time will be
between 6-8 hours and at this combustion rate,
the level of BTU’s is at its lowest.
Figure 4 - Slow Combustion
Building a Fire
A) To start a fi re, place several crumpled up
balls of newspaper in the fi rebox. Place small
dry pieces of kindling on top of the paper,
criss-crossing the kindling so that there are
air spaces in between. The kindling should
be placed at the center of the fi rebox so as
to allow for suffi cient air circulation.
B) Adjust the primary air control and start the
time delayed air-boost system by pushing
the register towards the right. Light the
newspaper. Leave the doors partially opened
to facilitate the start-up.
C) Once kindling fi re is well established, cord
wood can be added. You may set the primary
air control to the desire level (see Primary
Air Combustion Control and Air Boost Controls section for proper operation of the air
controls).
D) Set the primary control to the desired burn
level. The fi replace will automatically go to
that level after the fi re is fully established
and the air boost is closed.
To reload the Montecito Estate at the end of a
combustion cycle, when no fl ame is visible and
there are only ashes left:
A) Completely open the air control level and
the T.D.A.B. (Time Delay Air Boost) level.
See Figure 1.
B) Open the doors about 1” and wait 5 seconds
until the air fl ow has stabilized. Then open
the doors completely, put the logs in and
close the doors.
C) Set the air control to the desired burn level.
The T.D.A.B will close by itself progressively.
To reload the Montecito Estate when the fi replace
is still hot with a few visible fl ames:
A) Open the air control completely. The T.D.A.B
can be set to a lower setting in order to
facilitate lighting.
B) Open the doors about 1” and wait 5 seconds
until the air fl ow has stabilized. Then open
the doors completely, put the logs in and
close the doors.
C) Set the air control to the desired burn
level.
Notes:
• For spectacular fi re and optimization of the
fi replace effi ciency, we recommend that the
wood load be placed as far back as possible.
• It may be necessary to turn off any blower(s)
in operation during the refueling process in
order to minimise smoking in the room. It
is recommended to wait 15 to 30 minutes
before turning the blower(s) back on to
ensure successful rekindling.
SMOKING –
CAUSES AND TROUBLESHOOTING
To reduce the likelihood of smoke coming
into the room when opening the door, set the
combustion air controls to the left (“Accelerated Combustion”) before opening the door.
Your fi replace has been designed and tested
to provide smoke free operation.
A. The doors are partially opened
When you open the doors, open them com-
pletely.
B. Negative pressure in the house
C. Fans operating (e.g.: range hood)
These fans draw air out of the house and
may actually cause a negative pressure in the
house. Turn off all fans and open a nearby
window to determine if this is the cause of
the problem.
D. Wet wood
Wet or tarred wood will smoulder and smoke
instead of burn properly.
E. Dirty or blocked chimney
Check to make sure the chimney is clear and
clean.
F. Chimney not long enough
The minimum chimney height is 12 feet not
including the fi replace height. The chimney
must extend at least three (3) feet (915 mm)
above its point of contact with the roof and
at least two (2) feet (610 mm) higher than
any roof or wall within ten (10) feet (3 m)
of it. When installed with offsets, the minimum chimney height is 15 feet. Additional
height will increase draft and will decrease
the tendency to smoke.
G. Poor chimney draft
With no fi re, there should be suffi cient draft
to exhaust cigarette smoke introduced under
the baffl e. Chimneys installed against an
outside wall without protection may generate back draft problems which will cause
start-up problems. To prevent this, open
a nearby window; roll up a piece of paper,
light it and hold it in the upper part of the
fi rebox to warm up the chimney. Wait until
the draft is suffi cient, then start the fi re.
NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.

IMPORTANT CAUTIONS
A. Do not block the hot air vents to the fi re-
place as this will cause the fi replace to
overheat.
B. Never use gasoline, kerosene, charcoal
lighter fl uid or similar liquids to start or
rekindle a fi re in this fi replace. Keep all
such liquids well away from the fi replace
at all times.
C. Do not burn coal. The sulphur in coal will
corrode the fi rebox.
D. Do not burn driftwood which has been in the
ocean or salt water. The salt will corrode
the fi rebox and chimney.
E. Do not burn wood in the area in front of the
grate.
F. Do not abuse the unit by burning paper, or
cardboard or construction material such as
pressed wood, plywood or lumber. Wood
protectors, metallic paper, coal, plastic,
waste, sulphur and/or oil will damage the
fi replace.
G. Do not allow the wood to smoulder or burn
without fl ame, since this will produce
excessive creosote in the unit.
MAINTAINING YOUR MONTECITO
ESTATE
Creosote
When wood is burned slowly without a fl ame,
it produces tar and other organic vapors which
combine with expelled moisture to form a black
deposit called creosote which accumulates on
the fl ue lining. When ignited, this creosote
makes an extremely hot fi re. If the creosote
accumulation is large, a creosote fi re in the
chimney can damage the chimney and overheat the surrounding wood framing. Creosote
formation in a chimney can be minimized
by making sure there is always visible fl ame
burning, avoid smoldering fi res and by proper
refueling techniques.
Chimney Maintenance
Regular chimney inspection and maintenance
combined with proper operation will prevent
chimney fi res. Keep your chimney clean. Do
not allow more than 1/16” creosote build up
in your chimney. The amount of creosote will
depend on variables such as frequency of use
and type of fi re. We recommend that you:
A. Initially inspect the chimney system weekly.
From this, you will learn how often it will be
necessary to clean your chimney.
B. Have your chimney cleaned by a qualifi ed
chimney sweep. If you wish to clean it
yourself, we recommend using a stiff plastic
or non-metallic brush. If a metal brush is
used, its size should be slightly smaller than
the fl ue to avoid damaging the chimney. Do
not use a brush that will scratch the stainless
steel interior of the chimney.
C. Do not expect chemical cleaners to keep
your chimney clean. The rain cap can be
removed for inspection and/or cleaning of
the chimney.
Dealing With a Chimney Fire
Regular chimney maintenance and inspection
can prevent chimney fi res. If you have a chimney
fi re, follow these steps:
1. IMPORTANT: Close the fi replace door and
the combustion air controls; this will stifl e
the fi re.
2. Alert your family of the possible danger.
3. If you require assistance, alert your fi re
department.
4. If possible, use a dry chemical fi re extinguisher, baking soda or sand to control the
fi re. Do not use water as it may cause a
dangerous steam explosion.
5. Ensure that sparks and hot embers coming out of the chimney are not igniting the
roof.
6. Do not use the fi replace again until your
chimney and fi replace have been inspected
by a qualifi ed chimney sweep or a fi re department inspector.
REFRACTORY REPLACEMENT
The intense heat of the fi re will normally cause
hairline cracks in the refractory brick. These
cracks can be minimized by proper curing as
described in section First Fires. They will not
normally diminish the effectiveness of the
refractory brick. If large cracks develop, then
the refractory should be replaced. To replace
the refractory bricks, follow these steps:

Figure 5
DOOR FRAME FINISH CARE
Use a glass cleaner and a soft cloth to polish
the casing. Do not use abrasives such as steel
wool, steel pads or an abrasive polish for they
may scratch the frame’s fi nish.
DISPOSING OF ASHES
Remove ashes only when the fi re is out and
the ashes are cold (24 to 48 hours after the
fi re is out).
WARNING
When cleaning the fi replace,
the ashes should be placed in
a metal container with a tight
fi tting lid. The closed container
of ashes should be placed on a
non-combustible fl oor or on the
ground outside the house, pending fi nal disposal. If the ashes
are disposed of by burial in soil
or otherwise locally dispersed,
they should be retained in the
closed container until all cinders
have thoroughly cooled.
1. Remove the side refractory brackets (6)
2. Remove the front refractory bricks (3)
3. Remove the bottom refractory brick (4)
4. Remove the left side refractory bricks (5)
5. Remove the right side refractory bricks (2)
6. Remove the back refractory brick (1)
7. Remove the defl ectors (7) above the tubes
(Can be removed without removing other bricks
for chimney cleaning)
To install the new refractory bricks, follow the
above steps in reverse.

DOOR INSTALLATION
The doors must be put in place only when the installation of the Montecito
Estate™ is completed. All you have to do is fi t the male part of the hinge,
already on the door, to the female part, which is on the fi replace. To remove
the doors, simply pull them up from the hinges. The door adjustment
has been set at the factory. If the fi t is still not perfect, you can adjust
the door using the hinge screws (See Figure 7-1)
Figure 6 -
Door Installation

Figure 7
GLASS CARE
Glass Replacement
The glass used for the Montecito Estate is a high temperature ceramic
glass (1,400° F). If the glass breaks or cracks, it must be replaced with
an identical ceramic glass. Tempered glass or ordinary glass will not
withstand the high temperatures of the Montecito Estate . Replacement
glass should be purchased from a Security Chimneys International dealer
(see “Replacement Parts” on Page 22).
DOOR ADJUSTMENT
The doors may need to be adjusted to be completely airtight. The gaskets’
air-tightness can be adjusted using the adjustment screw located on the
right side of the fi replace facade (An Allen key #1/8 – not supplied - will
be necessary for this adjustment) (see Figure 7-2).
Checking Door Seal
A one-inch strip of paper may be used to perform a test of the integrity
of the door seal. Close the door on the paper in at least eight points. It
is normal to feel only a slight amount of friction. The door gasket does
not need to be “tight” in all areas, since a small amount of leakage is not
hazardous or detrimental to the performance of your fi replace.
WARNINGS
• Use only a Lennox Hearth Products glass doors,
specifi cally designed for the Montecito Estate
fi replace.
The fi replace cannot be operated without a door.
•
Consult your dealer to select the correct door
model.
Important! To assure proper alignment of glass
•
doors: Install this fi replace in a square and
plumb condition, using shims as necessary at
sides and/or bottom.
Do not operate the unit with cracked or broken glass.
Glass Cleaning
The Montecito Estate is designed to keep the glass clean under normal
operating conditions. If the Montecito Estate is operated continuously
with the combustion air controls closed, the glass will tend to get dirty
unless the fuel, fi rebox and glass are maintained at hot temperatures (see
section Refueling For Best Performance). To clean the glass, there are a
number of specially designed cleaners to remove creosote. Your authorized
Lennox Dealer can recommend a suitable cleaner. Regular household
glass cleaners will not clean creosote. Do not use abrasives such as steel
pads, steel wool or oven cleaner as they will scratch the glass.
Gasket Replacement
Remove the doors from the unit (see section Door Installation) and lay
them on a clean nonabrasive surface. To replace the gasket, fi rst remove
all of the old gasket and gasket cement. Make sure that the surface is
totally clean before applying new cement (a high temperature silicone
caulking rated at 500° F (260° C), is suitable) or adhesion problems may
result. Apply gasket cement to the gasket channel and install the new
gasket. This replacement part is available from your Lennox Dealer in
the following dimensions:

FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
Locating The Montecito Estate™
The best location to install your fi replace is determined by considering
the location of windows, doors, and the traffi c fl ow in the room where
the fi replace is located, allowing space in front of the unit for the hearth
extension and the mantel, and taking into consideration the location of
the hot air ducts (optional), outside air kit and chimney. If possible,
you should choose a location where the chimney will pass through the
house without cutting fl oor or roof joists (see fi replace dimensions on
Pages 8 & 9).
Usually, no additional fl oor support is needed for the fi replace. The adequacy of the fl oor can be checked by fi rst estimating the weight of the
fi replace system. Weights are given in the appendix. Next, measure the
area occupied by the fi replace. Note the fl oor construction and consult
your local building code to determine if additional support is needed.

A. Frame the fi replace using 2” x 3” or heavier lumber.
B. WARNING: Combustible materials cannot be used in the space
directly above the fi replace, except for the studs above the facade that support the facing and mantel. This area must remain
empty for a height of 80” (2,032 mm) measured from the base
of the appliance.
C. Frame the fi replace with vertical studs at the sides of the fi replace run-
ning from fl oor to ceiling (see Figure 10). If combustible facing is to
be used, position the studs back, from the front edge of the fi replace
(a space that is the thickness of the facing material, so that the facing can be installed fl ush with the fi replace facing). Frame headers
between the vertical studs only as follows:
- Place 2” x 3” or 2” x 4” headers, only along the upper part of the
front, side and back faces (some codes may require a 2” x 6” on
an outside bearing wall). Do not put wood or any combustible
material within the area above the fi replace except on the front
facing.
- Place headers only as required to support the facing and mantel.
D. WARNING: The fi replace must not be in contact with any insula-
tion or loose fi lling material. Cover the insulation with Drywall
panels around the fi replace.

level of insulation, house design, how the appliance is operated, etc.
If this fi replace is being installed in a cold climate, it is especially important
to seal all cracks around the fi replace and wherever cold air could enter
the room with noncombustible material. Also, the outside air inlet duct
should be wrapped with noncombustible insulation to minimize the

Figure 18
The duct system must be installed respecting the following:
1. Remove the plates closing up the 8” dia. holes on top of the fi replace.
Then, cut the insulation in order to obtain two 8” dia. openings. Fix
the adaptors on the fi replace openings by turning clockwise (Figure
16).
2. Maintain at least a 2” (50 mm) clearance between the ducts and any
combustible material; the required hole size is 13” x 13” (330 mm x
330 mm).
Exception #1: For the grills, the framing can be 10-3/4” x 10-
3/4” (275 mm x 275 mm) to provide the clearance as required
by the integral spacers on the double outlet duct system.
3. The maximum number of elbows in a run of duct is two.
4. Maintain at least 6-1/2” (160 mm) clearance from the outlet grill
framing to a combustible ceiling, side wall or mantel.
5. When traversing a combustible wall or fl oor, a fi restop must be installed
at the wall or fl oor penetration. The hole size must be 13” x 13” (330
mm x 330 mm)
6. Do not connect the hot air ducts to a central heating system. Malfunction of the heating system’s blower will cause the fi replace to overheat.
A furnace duct is only single wall and not double wall as is required
for the Montecito Estate™ hot air exhaust.
7. Use only Security Chimneys International grills and components as
described in this manual. Other grills or registers may be too restrictive and may overheat the fi replace or ceiling.
8. Do not use insulated fl exible ducts as they will overheat.
9. Do not use tees or any other components than the ones specifi cally
listed here.
10. Never allow the ducting to pitch down as hot air will be trapped creating a fi re hazard. Never route the ducting downwards.
11. The hot air outlet grills must be installed with the louvers pointing
downwards in order to prevent overheating adjacent ceilings.
NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.

Outside Air Installation
The outside air assembly may be installed according to the following
requirements:
A) Duct length should be kept to a minimum. The maximum length of a
4” interior diameter (100 mm) insulated fl exible duct is 20 feet (6.1 m).
The duct can be extended to a maximum of 40 feet (12 m) using a 6”
interior diameter (150 mm) insulated fl exible duct (See note below).
B) The air intake register must not be installed more than ten (10) feet
(3050 mm) above the base of the fi replace.
C) The fresh air must come from outside the house. The air intake must
not draw air from the attic, basement or garage.
D) The air intake should be installed where it is not likely to be blocked by
snow or exposed to extreme wind and away from automobile exhaust
fumes, gas meters and other vents.
E) The duct and register may be installed above or below fl oor level.
Make a 4-1/4” (110 mm) hole in the outside wall of the house at the chosen
location. From outside, place the outside air register in the hole (open
side down) and fasten the register to the wall with screws as shown (see
Figure 19). Slip the pipe into the insulated sleeve. Place the insulated
pipe over the register tube and over the fi replace’s outside air connector
(see Figure 20). At each end, carefully pull back the insulation and plastic
cover exposing the fl exible pipe. Using the aluminium tape provided,
wrap the tape around the joint between the fl exible pipe and the air inlets.

THE CHIMNEY SYSTEM
Chimney Installation Notes
1. If possible, install an interior chimney as it will provide better performance. In areas with continuous temperatures below 18°C (0°F),
the use of an exterior chimney increases the likelihood of operating
problems such as low draft, high rate of creosoting, and poor start-up
characteristics. Exterior chimneys are also prone to down-drafting
and fl ow reversal. Installations which are located on lower fl oors in
the house, such as in a basement, in combination with an outside
chimney, are especially prone to fl ow reversal.
2. The fi replace model MONTEST may be installed only with Security
Chimneys International Ltd 7” dia. chimney systems model Secure
3. A chimney venting a fi replace shall not vent any other appliance.
4. The minimum chimney height is 12 feet (3.7 m) excluding the fi replace.
8. A rain cap must be installed on top of the chimney. Failure to install
a rain cap may cause corrosion problems.
9. Cut and frame square holes in all fl oors, ceilings, and roof that the
chimney will go through to provide a 2” (50 mm) clearance between
the chimney and any combustible materials. Do not fi ll this 2” space
with insulation or any other combustible material.
10. Portions of the chimney which may extend through accessible spaces
must be enclosed to avoid contact with combustible materials or
damage to the chimney.
11.When offsets are used, the pipe may not penetrate a ceiling or fl oor
unless it is running vertical (no 30° offsets).
two (2) feet Min.
5. All chimney installations must include at least one support in order to
be able to take any lateral load. The maximum chimney length that
can be supported by the fi replace is nine (9) feet (2.75 m) for Secure
Temp S2100+ / Nova Temp HT6000+ / Secure Temp GX and 26 feet
(8m) for ACBI chimney. In altitude, add 18” (450 mm) to the chimney
for every 2,000 feet (600 m) above sea level.
6. The chimney must extend at least three (3) feet (915 mm) above its
point of contact with the roof and at least two (2) feet (610 mm) higher
than any wall, roof or building within ten (10) feet (3 m) of it (Figure
21).
7. If the chimney extends higher than fi ve (5) feet (1,500 mm) above
its point of contact with the roof, it must be secured using a roof
brace.

At the attic level, install an attic radiation shield
from above (Figures 23a & 23b).
2. For Secure Temp
S2100+ / Nova Temp
HT6000+ / Secure Temp GX chimneys, place
the fi rst chimney length on the fi replace.
To lock it in place, turn 1/4 of a turn clockwise. With the ACBI chimney, you must
use a starter section before installing the
fi rst chimney length (Figure 24). Continue
installing chimney lengths making sure to
lock each length in place.
3. Every time the chimney passes through a ceiling or a wall, install the appropriate fi restop.
When you reach the desired height, install the
roof support (Refer to instructions included
with the support). For an ACBI chimney use
an universal support AC10SU.
4. Put the roof fl ashing in place and seal the
joint between the roof and the fl ashing
with roofi ng pitch (see Figures 25 & 26).
For sloping roofs, place the fl ashing under
the upper shingles and on top of the lower
shingles. Nail the fl ashing to the roof, using
roofi ng nails.
5. Place the storm collar over the fl ashing, and
tighten it with the bolt supplied. Finally, seal
the joint between the storm collar and the
chimney, using silicone caulking.
6. Install the chimney cap.

the chimney system rather than part of a building. The termination must
be placed a minimum of 18” (460 mm) above the chase.
For installations where more than one chimney is located in the same
chase or within the same area, we suggest that their terminations be
separated by at least 16” (410 mm) horizontally, and 18” (460 mm) vertically. This separation is to prevent smoke migrating from one chimney
to another (see Figure 31).

CHIMNEY SUPPORT INSTALLATION
Universal Roof Support
This support has three possible uses:
1. For Secure Temp S2100+ / Nova Temp HT6000+ / Secure Temp GX, it
must be used on a roof to support the chimney.
2. It may be used on a fl oor, ceiling or roof above an offset to support
the chimney above the offset.
3. It may be used on a fl oor, ceiling or roof as a supplementary support
when the chimney height exceeds 15 feet (4.6 m).
Table 6 gives maximum height of supported chimney.
NOTE: For the ACBI chimney, a support section (ACBI7SL) must be used
every 30 feet (9m) or an universal support every 20 feet (6m) instead of
the universal roof support (ST).

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR MASONRY APPLICATION
Follow these steps:
WARNING: Before starting the installation, the masonry chimney
must be inspected by a qualifi ed chimney sweep.
The following requirements must be respected:
1. The chimney must be absolutely clear of any soot residue or creosote.
Check for cracks, loose or missing bricks that could inhibit correct
installation of the liner.
2. The clearance to combustible must be a minimum of 1” between the
outside of the masonry and any wood framing or loose insulation.
3. The chimney must be built in accordance with the current building
code.
4. No other appliance can be connected to the same chimney.
5. The clearances to combustible for the BISTMA30 connectors are 2”
on the side and bottom and 16” at the top.
6. The connector parts are not necessary if the connection between the
insulated length and the stainless steel liner is done within the masonry
chimney.
Installation:
The chimney must be relined with a stainless steel liner model TUBINOX
or Projet SS of the same diameter as the outlet of the fi replace.
For connection at 30º angle, a special connector (BISTMA30) must be
used to connect the liner to the insulated chimney.
* IMPORTANT NOTE - The use of a 45º connector (BISTMA) is approved for use in Canada ONLY. Installations in the USA must use the
30º connector (BISTMA30).
1- Position the fi replace in its location. Temporarily install the S2100+
elbow on the top of the fi replace and, using a level, mark with an oval
the location where the fl ue liner will enter the masonry chimney.
2- In the middle of the oval, drill a hole in the masonry chimney at 30º.
3- Increase the size of the hole until a 30º TUBINOX liner elbow can be
easily slipped through.
4- Slide the liner down from the top of the masonry chimney until you
reach the hole level.
5- Slip through the hole a 30º liner elbow and connect it to the liner.
6- Add a small liner section to the liner elbow which will allow the liner to
extend at least 12” (measured at the top of the liner) from the masonry
chimney.
7- Seal the opening around the liner with high temperature refractory
cement.
8- The next steps must be done in the following order:
See typical installation illustrated below.
A. Select the S2100+ length that will fi t between the elbow and the liner
so that it will slide at least 2” over the liner section (You may need to
cut the liner for a better fi t).
B. Take that section and the BISTMA30 cover and slide it over the liner.
Make sure you have enough opening to be able to install the S2100+
elbow without diffi culty.
C. Install the 30º elbow on the fi replace.
D. Slide the length section back down on the elbow and twist lock the
two together.
E. Pull the cover down over the length and install the insulation pad over
the liner; be careful to cover the liner completely.
F. Slide back the cover over the insulation and fi x it in place using the 3
metal screws supplied.
