After reading these instructions, if you have any doubt
about your ability to complete your installation in a
professional like manner you should obtain the services
of an installer versed in all aspects as to the correct
and safe installation. Do not use temporary makeshift
compromises during installation.
before installation of your appliance
1. Check with the building inspector's office for compli-
ance with local codes; a permit may be required.
2. This appliance requires a masonry or prefabricated
chimney listed to ULC S629 (Canada) and UL103HT
(U.S.). Sized correctly.
3. A 6" (152 mm) diameter flue is required for proper
performance.
4. Always connect this unit to a chimney and NEvEr
vent to another room or inside a building.
5. DO NOt connect this unit to any duct work to which
another appliance is connected such as a furnace.
6. DO NOt connect this unit to a chimney flue serving
f i r e - p a r t s . c o m
another appliance.
7. The connector pipe and chimney should be inspect-
ed periodically and cleaned if necessary.
8. Remember the clearance distances when you place
furniture or other objects within the area. DO NOt
store wood, flammable liquids or other combustible
materials too close to the unit.
refer to certification label on back of your unit
for required clearances.
9. Contact your local municipal or provincial fire author-
ity for information on how to handle a chimney fire.
Have a clearly understood plan to handle a chimney
fire. In the event of a chimney fire, turn air control
to closed position and Call tHE firE DEpart-
MENt.
10.DO NOt tamper with combustion air control beyond
normal adjustment.
11. DO NOt install these units in a mobile home or
trailer. These units are NOT mobile home approved.
Operation
Why the correct flue size is important - 6"
Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance
up through the chimney. The amount of draft in your
chimney depends on the length of the chimney, local
geography. Nearby obstructions, and other factors. Too
much draft may cause excessive temperatures in the
appliance. An uncontrolled burn or a glowing red part
or chimney connector indicates excessive draft. Inad-
equate draft may cause back puffing into the room and
"plugging" of the chimney and/or cause the appliance to
leak smoke into the room through appliance and chim-
ney connector joints.

Today's solid fuel appliances are much more efficient
than in the past. The units are designed to give you
controlled combustion, as well as maximum heat trans-
fer, using less fuel to do so.
The design of your new appliance is such that the
exhaust "smoke" is now at lower temperatures than in
the past, therefore requiring proper chimney size to give
adequate draft. If your chimney is too large, the heating
appliance will have a difficult time to raise the "chim-
ney flue" temperature to give adequate draft, therefore
causing a smoke back up, poor burn or both.
Should you experience such a problem call in a lo-
cal chimney expert.
With the door closed, the rate of burning is regulated by
the amount of air allowed to enter the unit through the
air control. With experience you will be able to set the
control for heat and burning time desired.
Once the required chimney draft is obtained, operate
only with doors closed and open doors slowly when
re-fueling. (This will reduce or eliminate smoke from
entering the room).
Attempts to achieve higher output rates that exceed
heater design specifications can result in permanent
damage to the heater. The recommended wood load is
level with the top of the firebricks.
Overloading may prevent sufficient air entering the
heater to properly fuel the fire.
Operate this heater only with the door closed.
