INSTALLATION
WARNING: ALWAYS FOLLOW CHIMNEY CONNECTOR MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPER INSTALLATION.
CHIMNEY CONNECTOR IS TO BE USED ONLY WITHIN THE ROOM, BETWEEN THE STOVE AND CEILING WALL, NEVER PASSING THROUGH A COMBUSTIBLE CEILING OR WALL. THE CONNECTOR SHALL NOT PASS THROUGH AN ATTIC OR ROOF SPACE, CLOSET OR SIMILAR CONCEALED SPACE, OR A FLOOR, OR CEILING. MAINTAIN MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES AS REFERENCED ON PAGES 9, 10 & 11.
WARNING: IF INSTALLING THIS MODEL TO A MASONRY CHIMNEY, ALWAYS BE SURE THE CHIMNEY IS IN GOOD CONDITION AND THAT IT MEETS THE MINIMUM STANDARDS OF THE NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION (NFPA) STANDARD 211. A FACTORY BUILT CHIMNEY MUST BE 6” UL 103 HT.
THIS APPLIANCE IS MADE WITH A 6 INCH/152mm DIAMETER CHIMNEY CONNECTOR AS THE FLUE COLLAR ON THE UNIT. CHANGING THE DIAMETER OF THE CHIMNEY CAN AFFECT DRAFT AND CAUSE POOR PERFORMANCE. IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO USE OFFSETS OR ELBOWS AT ALTITUDES ABOVE 4000 FEET ABOVE SEA LEVEL OR WHEN THERE ARE OTHER FACTORS THAT AFFECT FLUE DRAFT.
VENTING SYSTEM
The venting system consists of a chimney connector and a chimney. These get extremely hot during use. Temperatures inside the chimney may exceed 2000°F (1100°C) in the event of a creosote fire. To protect against the possibility of a house fire, the chimney connector and chimney must be properly installed and maintained. An approved thimble must be used when a connection is made through a combustible wall to a chimney. A chimney support package must be used when a connection is made through the ceiling to a prefabricated chimney. These accessories are absolutely necessary to provide safe clearances to combustible wall and ceiling material. Follow venting manufacturer’s clearances when installing venting system.
This stove may be connected to a lined masonry chimney or a listed high temperature prefabricated approved metal chimney. Do not connect it to a chimney serving another appliance. To do so will affect the safe operation of both appliances.
There are two separate and different parts to a flue system: the chimney | CHIMNEY CONNECTOR |

Make sure to follow the minimum clearances to combustibles as set out on pages 8 and 9 of this manual. Where passage through the wall, or partition of combustible construction is desired, the installation shall conform to
