PLANNING YOUR INSTALLATION

CHIMNEY INSPECTION

The existing fireplace should be inspected by a local fire marshal or qualified installer for adequate serviceability prior to installing this appliance.

Factory built fireplace: If any portion of the chimney system shows signs of structural or mechanical weak- nesses, such as: cracks, leaky joints, corroded or warped surfaces. Look for obvious bulges in the lining, which may indicate the need to replace that section (use a bright flashlight. Any faulty portion must be re- paired or replaced prior to installing this appliance. Also, inspect the attic to see that the chimney has proper clearance to combustible framing members.

Masonry fireplace: The chimney should have no cracks, loose mortar, other signs of deterioration, or blockage. Any necessary repairs should be done by a qualified mason.

If the existing fireplace flue system is dirty or has some obstruction in it, clean it. A dirty chimney can cause your insert to smoke when refueling, and can result in a chim- ney fire. An oversized chimney may result in less than optimum performance. Installations into a large masonry chimney may require a liner to improve performance.

CLEARANCES

WARNING: It is very important that you observe the minimum clearances.

There are listed clearances for your fireplace insert which were determined in a laboratory testing and must be maintained.

Minimum Clearance to Combustibles

Stove top to mantel:

32"

Stove top to trim:

24"

Stove side to trim:

9"

Stove side to sidewall:

17"

DRAFT REQUIREMENTS

The appliance is merely one component of a larger sys- tem. The other equally important component is the vent- ing system. This is necessary for achieving the required flow of combustion air to the fire chamber and for safely removing unwanted combustion byproducts from the ap- pliance. If the venting system's design does not promote these ends, the system may not function properly. Poorly functioning venting systems may create performance problems as well as be a safety hazard (i.e. an oversized chimney may result in less than optimum performance. Installations into a large, masonry chimney may require a liner to improve performance). A draft test should read greater than .04' W.C. (inches water column) and less than .08" W.C.

VENTILATION

Ventilation is essential when using a solid burning appli- ance. The combustion process uses oxygen from inside the home and it may be necessary to open a window in a house that is well insulated.
