Before leaving this unit with the customer, the
installer must ensure that the appliance is firing
correctly and operation fully explained to
customer.
CLEARANCES TO
COMBUSTIBLES
The clearances listed are MINIMUM distances.
Measure the clearance to both the appliance
and the chimney connector. The farthest
distance is correct if the two clearances
do not coincide.
For example, if the appliance is set as indicated
in one of the figures but the connector is too
close, move the stove until the correct clearance to the connector is obtained.
This appliance may be installed only with the
clearances as shown in the situations pictured.
Do not combine clearances from one type
of installation with another in order to
achieve closer clearances.
This unit can be installed on a solid combustible
surface like a wood floor. This unit can also be
installed directly on carpeting or vinyl when the
bottom pedestal cover plate (provided with unit)
is installed.
Use the minimum clearances shown in the
diagrams below:
U39-NG & U39-LP Clearances
A Side Wall to Unit 7-1/2" / 190 mm
B Back Wall to Unit 6" / 150 mm
E Side Wall to Unit 2" / 50 mm

Dimensions
C Back Wall to Flue Centerline 11"/280 mm
D Side Wall to Flue Centerline 20-1/2"/521 mm
F Side Wall to Flue Centerline 11"/280 mm
Minimum ceiling height is 36" / 914 mm from top
of unit.
5) This appliance must be connected to the
specified vent and termination cap to the
outside of the building envelope. Never vent
to another room or inside a building. Make
sure that the vent is fitted as per the instructions starting on page 7.
6) Inspect the venting system annually for
blockage and any signs of deterioration.
7) Venting terminals shall not be recessed into
a wall or siding.

This includes:
1) Clocking the appliance to ensure the cor-
rect firing rate (rate noted on label) after
burning appliance for 15 minutes.
2) If required, adjusting the primary air to
ensure that the flame does not carbon. First
allow the unit to burn for 15-20 min. to
stabilize.
CAUTION: Any alteration to the product
that causes sooting or carboning that
results in damage is not the responsibility of the manufacturer.

COMBUSTION AND
VENTILATION AIR
The combustion air from this appliance is drawn
from outside the building through the outer flue.
Extra provision for combustion air inside
the room is not required.
VENTING
INTRODUCTION
The DV Stove Horizontal Vent Kit and the
Simpson Dura-Vent Direct Vent System Model
DV-GS venting systems, in combination with
the ULTIMATE Direct Vent Freestanding Gas
Stove, U39-NG, and U39-LP , have been tested
and listed as direct vent heater systems by
Warnock Hersey. If converting a Class-A Metal
Chimney or Masonry Chimney to a Direct Vent
system, see instructions on pages 19 to 21.
These units use the "balanced flue" technology
Co-Axial system. The inner liner vents products
of combustion to the outside while the outer
pipe draws outside combustion air into the
combustion chamber thereby eliminating the
need to use heated room air for combustion and
losing warm room air up the chimney.
Note: These flue pipes must not be con-
nected to any other appliance.
The gas appliance and vent system must be
vented directly to the outside of the building, and
never be attached to a chimney serving a
separate solid fuel or gas burning appliance.
Each direct vent gas appliance must use it's
own separate vent system. Common vent systems are prohibited.
IMPORTANT
Read all instructions carefully before starting
the installation. Failure to follow these instructions may create a fire or other safety hazard,
and will void the warranty. Be sure to check the
venting and clearance to combustible requirements. Consult your local building codes before
beginning installation.
The location of the termination cap must conform to the requirements in the Exterior Vent
Terminal Locations diagram on page 8.
A) Cross Corner
B) Room Divider
C) Island
D) Flat on Wall
E) Flat on Wall Corner
F) Flush with Wall/ Alcove
For Vent Termination requirements, see page 8.
