Initial Installation

DIRECT VENT MODEL:

WARNING: This appliance has been designed to draw room air for proper heat circulation from the sides of the unit. Blocking or modifying the louvers in any way can create hazardous situations.

This model is vented with TWO (2) 3” aluminum or stainless steel flex vent leading into a co-linear to co- axial vent adaptor and using a Simpson Dura Vent vertical termination cap. The flue collars of this model will fit inside of standard 3” vent and may be fastened directly to the vent. The Exhaust vent is in the center of the flue connector. The Air Intake is on the left side of the vent collar plate (this outlet is not in the center it is off to one side of the vent collar plate.)

Check periodically that the vents are unrestricted. Also ensure that all direct vent pipes have been properly sealed and installed after routine inspection or cleaning. The air intake and exhaust pipes must

be installed in the correct locations on the removable draft hood connector.

DIRECT VENT RESTRICTOR RING:

DIRECT VENT ONLY: The maximum vertical vent height for a direct vent installation is 25 feet (7.62 m). Use the vent restrictor ring for installations above 15 feet (4.57 m). See Figure 14 for installation of restrictor ring.

PREPARING YOUR FOCUS FOR INSTALLATION:

1.Remove the appliance and surround panels from the packaging; check to make sure there is no damage. Carefully check the glass door. Do not use the unit if it is damaged. In the event damage is found, please report it to both the courier and your dealer as soon as possible.

2.Carefully clean the fireplace and flue before installing the stove. Failure to do so may result in fumes or dirt being blown into the room and may cause a fire leading to death or serious injury.

3.Remove the glass door; see MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE - GLASS DOOR REMOVAL.

4.Remove log and ember set and all wrapping material from inside the stove. Remove wrapping material from log and embers and check for any damage. If damage is observed, do not use unit and contact your local dealer.

5.Remove the vent collar plate from the top of the stove by unscrewing the two (2) T-20 Torx screws located on the center top of the stove. Slide collar plate backwards. Properly secure the vent collar plate to the flexible vent pipe liner(s) previously installed in the chimney. Be careful not to over-stretch the liner(s).
