stovepipe and combustible materials may be required.
Check with authorities having jurisdiction in your area.
2. All pipe sections must be connected with the male end
(crimped end) toward the stove.
3. Fasten the stove pipe to the flue collar by the use of
three sheet metal screws. Do the same at each
additional joint to make the entire installation rigid.
4. Maintain the required diameter flue for the entire
installation.
5. If you are connecting the stove to an old masonry flue,
be sure to have it inspected for cracks and general
condition. Resizing with a stainless steel liner may be
required.
6. It is recommended that no more than two (2) 90°
bends be used in the stove pipe installation. More
than two (2) 90° bends may decrease the amount
of draw and possibly cause smoke spillage.
7. A damper is not required in this installation. Remove
damper plate in the chimney or secure in OPEN position.
8. Single wall flue pipe assemblies must not exceed
10 feet (3 m) in overall length.
CAUTION: DO NOT open fire-door to a point where it
would be in contact with the combustible sidewall.
Optional Fan - An optional heat exchange blower is
available for this wood burning appliance. To order
please see the local dealer where you purchsed the

IMPORTANT: It is highly recommended that the wood
stove and chimney be installed by a qualified installer.
(A qualified installer is a person or entity who regularly
installs wood heating products and chimneys, in the
ordinary course of their regular business.)
