INSTALLING DAMPER CLAMP ACCESSORY FOR VENTED OPERATION

Note: When used as a vented decorative, appliance must be installed only in a solid-fuel burning fireplace with a working flue and constructed of noncombustible material.

If your heater is a non-thermostatically-controlled model, you may use this heater as a vented product. There are three reasons for operating your heater in the vented mode.

1.The fireplace does not meet the clearance to combustibles requirements for vent-free operation.

2.State or local codes do not permit vent-free operation.

3.You prefer vented operation.

If reasons number 1 or 2 above apply to you, you must permanently open chimney flue damper. You must install the damper clamp accessory (to order, see Accessories, page 26). This will insure vented operation (see Figure 10). The damper clamp will keep damper open. Installation instructions are included with clamp accessory.
