U38 Gas Stove

Venting

This heater is a vented appliance and must be connected to a chimney/ fl ue in accordance with the installation codes.

Note: The rear pedestal cover plate is only required when outside air is being used. If using room air for combustion, remove this plate from the back of the pedestal.

For your safety this heater is equipped with a vent safety switch designed to sense incorrect venting and react by shutting down the gas supply. This thermally actuated switch is located within the draft hood and will detect either a blocked chimney or backdraft condition where the chimney flow has reversed. If this switch shuts the unit down, it indicates a drafting problem that must be identified and rectified without delay - the thermally activated switch must never be bypassed or disconnected as a hazardous or deadly condition can result.

Venting Requirements

A four inch diameter vent is required. B-Vent, Class A or Masonry with an approved liner are all acceptable. For cosmetic or aesthetic purposes 6" outer vent can be used as long as an approved inner vent is installed. Fasten but do not penetrate the inner sleeve of the B-Vent when tightening the screw.

Follow all venting manufacturer’s requirements and local building codes. In cold climates, we recommend the use of insulated B-Vent, chase, and liners. For altitudes above 2000 ft. we recommend that a minimum fl ue height of 12 ft. is used.

Flue Mounting Bracket

Attach the fl ue mounting bracket with the enclosed screw as shown in the diagram.
