FREESTANDING

The W3000FS is approved for use with double wall connector and the same manufacture’s chimney systems as follows:

Simpson Dura-Vent Model DVL

Selkirk Metalbestos DS

Security Chimneys Model DL

1.Install the chimney by following the manufacture’s instructions.

YOUR CHIMNEY MUST COMPLY WITH LOCAL BUILDING AND FIRE CODES.

2.Install the first piece of pipe, crimped end down, into the flue collar on the stove ensuring an airtight connection. Continue stacking pipe in this manner until within reach of chimney. Use only an air tight slip joint to make the connection to the chimney.

All horizontal runs of pipe should be as short as possible and are required by NFPA No. 211 to have an upward pitch or rise in the same direction the smoke travels of no less than ¼” to the linear foot. The connector pipe must meet minimum clearances in any direction to walls or other combustible materials. It must attach to a listed metal chimney at least 6” in diameter with a minimum thickness of 24 gauge, or to a masonry chimney with a flue passage of at least 48 square inches.

It is required that a chimney connector pipe not extend further than the inner wall of the flue when it is connected to a masonry chimney, and that it either be cemented to the masonry or be installed without cement in a thimble connected to the masonry wall. When the connector is inserted in a thimble, the joint must be tight enough so that it will not be dislodged in normal use. Install the connector at no less than the minimum clearances from the ceiling when using a 90- degree elbow to pass through combustible constructions.

Chimney connector pipes should never pass through a floor, ceiling, firewall, and partition or combustion construction of any type unless certain precautions are taken. The best method is to use a listed thimble and a listed insulated chimney in accordance with the manufacturer’s directions. NFPA No. 211 also gives some approved methods for passing a flue pipe through combustible constructions.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE FOR MASONRY CHIMNEY

NOTE: Although not required, a full length stainless steel liner (UL1770) is recommended for optimum safety and performance.

1.Read entire installation instructions and complete and return the warranty card.

2.Check all required clearances as specified in figure 3.

3.Open or remove the existing fireplace damper.

4.Locate the leveling nuts on each side of the outer chamber of the stove at the lower rear corners. Install the supplied carriage bolts with the head down, through each nut from the bottom sides and not extending below the stove bottom.

5.Position the stove on the hearth and in far enough so that the flue opening and the damper are aligned. The stove may need to be offset to one side to allow enough room to connect the pipe.

6.When the W3000I is installed in a Masonry chimney the stainless steel liner must directly connect at least up to the tile liner.

7.Center and push the stove in flush with the fireplace face. Adjust the leveling bolts until the stove is level.

8.Install the flashings and push the stove up snug against the face of the fireplace.

REQUIREMENTS FOR FACTORY-BUILT ZERO CLEARANCE FIREPLACE

NOTE: When the W3000I is installed in a zero clearance factory- built fireplace the liner must be 6 inch stainless steel (UL1770) and be lined to the chimney top.

1.The W3000I must only be installed in a zero clearance factory- built fireplace that is structurally sound. Fireboxes or chimneys that have flaws, burn-outs, or warpage must be replaced or repaired prior to installation. Check with your fireplace manufacturer if any problems exist.

2.All convection vents and louvers must be left unmodified and unobstructed.

3.The W3000I can be installed in factory-built zero clearance fireplaces with minimum cavity dimensions of 36 inches in width, 22 inches in height, and 14 inches in depth.

4.Modifications allowed to the factory-built fireplaces are as follows:

∙Removal of the damper.

∙Removal of the smoke shelf on the baffle.

∙Removal of the ember catches.

∙Removal of the viewing screen/curtain.

∙Removal of the side and rear bricks.

∙Removal of the fire grate.

∙Removal of the doors.

DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
