Installation; Chimney - Timberwolf Economizer Série Manuel D'installation Et D'opération

WARNING
!
• Wear gloves, protective footwear and safety glasses for protection.
• Carefully follow the instructions for assembly of the pipe and other parts needed to install the appliance.
Failure to do so may result in a fi re, especially if combustibles are too close to the appliance or chimney and air
spacers are blocked, preventing the free movement of cooling air.
• Do not draw outside air from garage spaces. Exhaust products of gasoline engines are hazardous. Do not
install outside air ducts such that the air may be drawn from attic spaces, basements or above the roofi ng
where other heating appliances or fans and chimneys exhaust or utilize air. These precautions will reduce the
possibility of appliance smoking or air fl ow reversal. The outside air inlet must remain clear of leaves, debris, ice
and/or snow. It must be unrestricted while appliance is in use to prevent room air starvation which can cause
smoke spillage and an inability to maintain a fi re. Smoke spillage can also set off smoke alarms.
• Negative pressure within your home may inadvertently affect your appliance.
• To prevent contact with sagging or loose insulation, the appliance must not be installed against vapour barriers
or exposed insulation. Localized overheating could occur and a fi re could result.
• Do not use makeshift compromises during installation. Do not block or restrict air, grille or louvre openings. Do
not add a hood.
• To prevent personal injury, keep hand tools in good condition, sharpen cutting edges and make sure tool
handles are secure.
• Always maintain the minimum air space required in the enclosure to prevent fi res.
• Check with local building offi cials for any permits required for installation of this appliance and notify your
insurance company prior to proceeding.

WARNING
!
• Never install a single wall slip section or smoke pipe in a chase structure. The higher temperature of this
single wall pipe may radiate suffi cient heat to combustible chase materials to cause a fi re.
• Do not connect this appliance to a chimney system serving another appliance.
• To avoid danger of fi re, all instructions must be strictly followed, including the provision of air space
clearance between chimney system and enclosure. To protect against the effects of corrosion on those
parts exposed to the weather, we recommend that the chase top be painted with a rust-resistant paint.
• Do not fi ll any framed space around the chimney with insulation or any other material. Insulation placed in
this area could cause adjacent combustibles to overheat.
• Maintain a minimum 2" (51mm) air clearance to all parts of the chimney system at all times (this excludes the
chimney connection). Failure to maintain this 2" (51mm) air clearance will cause a structure fi re. Never fi ll this
space with any type of material.
• Detailed instructions for installation of the chase top, storm collar and termination cap are packaged with
these parts.
• Do not cut rafters or ceiling joists without fi rst consulting a building offi cial to ensure structural integrity is not
compromised.
• Firestop spacers must be used whenever the chimney penetrates a ceiling/fl oor area.
• The total horizontal vent length should not exceed 40% of the chimney height above the appliance all
horizontal smoke pipe must slope slightly upwards a minimum of 1/4" (6.4mm) per foot and all connections
must be tight and secured by three sheet metal screws equally spaced. An uninsulated smoke pipe shall
not pass through an attic, roof space, closet or similar concealed space, or through a fl oor, ceiling, wall or
partition, or any combustible constructions.
• Do not use any makeshift materials during installation.
Your appliance may be connected to a factory built or masonry chimney. If you are using a factory built chimney,
it must comply with ULCS629 (Canada) or UL103 (USA) standards. It must therefore be a 6" (152mm) HT Type
(2100°F) chimney. It is extremely important that it be installed according to the manufacturer's specifi cations.
The manufacturer's installation instructions and specifi ed clearances should always be followed in accordance with
local and national codes. In Canada the CSA B365 and the CSA C22.1 installation codes are to be followed. In
the USA the ANSI NFPA 70 and ANSI NFPA 211 installation codes are to be followed.
Chimney and chimney connector must be in good condition and kept clean.
