Installation

SAFETY NOTICE: IF YOUR DUTCHWEST CON- VECTION HEATER IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED, OPERATED AND MAINTAINED, A HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT. FOR SAFETY, FOLLOW ALL INSTALLA- TION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE DIREC- TIONS. CONTACT LOCAL BUILDING OFFICIALS ABOUT RESTRICTIONS AND INSTALLATION INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS IN YOUR AREA.

Before you begin the installation, review your plans to confirm that:

•Your stove and chimney connector will be far enough from combustible material to meet all clearance require- ments.

•The floor protector is large enough and is constructed properly to meet all requirements.

•You have obtained all necessary permits from local authorities.

Your local building official is the final authority for ap- proving your installation as safe and for determining that it meets local and state codes.

Clearance and installation information is printed on the metal label attached to the rear of the stove. Local au- thorities generally will accept the label as evidence that, when the stove is installed according to the information on the label and in this manual, the installation meets codes and can be approved.

Codes vary in different areas, however. Before starting the installation, review your plans with the local building authority. Your local dealer can provide any additional information needed.

Important: Failure to follow these installation instruc- tions may result in a dangerous situation, including a chimney or house fire. Follow all instructions exactly, and do not allow makeshift compromises to endanger

property and personal safety.

Chimney Types

Your Dutchwest Convection Heater must be connected to a sound masonry chimney that meets local codes, a relined masonry chimney that meets local codes, or to an approved prefabricated metal chimney. Whatever kind you use, the chimney and chimney connector must be in good condition and kept clean.

Masonry Chimneys

If you use an existing masonry chimney, it must be inspected to ensure safe condition before the stove is installed. Your local professional chimney sweep, building inspector, or fire department official will be able either to make the inspection or to direct you to some- one who can.

An inspection of the chimney must confirm that it has a lining. Do not use an unlined chimney. The chim- ney should also be examined for cracks, loose mortar, other signs of deterioration, and blockage. Repair any defects before the chimney is used with your stove.

Unused openings in an existing masonry chimney must be sealed with masonry to the thickness of the chimney wall, and the chimney liner should be repaired. Open- ings sealed with pie plates or wallpaper are a hazard and should be sealed with mortar or refractory cement. In the event of a chimney fire, flames and smoke may be forced out of these unused thimbles.

The chimney should be thoroughly cleaned before use.

A newly-built masonry chimney must conform to the standards of your local building code or, in the absence of a local code, to a recognized national code. Masonry chimneys must be lined, either with code-approved masonry or pre-cast refractory tiles, stainless steel pipe, or a code-approved, “poured-in-place” liner. The chimney’s clean-out door must seal tightly.
