REFER TO CHIMNEY AND CHIMNEY CONNECTOR MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS

CHIMNEY

CONTACT YOUR LOCAL BUILDING AUTHORITY FOR APPROVED METHODS OF INSTALLATION

1.This appliance requires a masonry or pre- manufactured chimney listed to ULC S629 (Canada) and UL103HT (USA) sized correctly.

2.If a masonry chimney is used it is advisable to have your chimney inspected for cracks and check the general condition before you install your unit. Relining may be required to reduce flue diameter to the appropriate functional size.

3.To help ensure a good draft, the top of the chimney should be at least 3 feet (914mm) above the point of penetration through the roof, and be at least 2 (610mm) feet higher than any point of the roof within

10feet (3M).

4.The chimney connector shall not pass through an attic, roof space, closet, concealed space, floor, ceiling, wall, or any partition of combustible construction.

5.The minimum overall height of your chimney should be 15 feet (5M) from the floor.

6.Do not use makeshift compromises during installation.

OPERATION

Do not use a grate or elevate fire. Build wood fire directly on hearth. When the stove is used for the first time the solvents in the paint will smoke off.

WOOD

This heater is designed to burn natural wood only. Higher efficiency and lower emissions generally result when burning air dried seasoned hardwood, as compared to softwood or to green or freshly cut hardwood. Only use dry seasoned wood. Green wood, besides burning at only 60 percent of the fuel value of dry wood, deposits creosote on the inside of your stove and along the chimney. This can cause an extreme danger of chimney fire. To be called “seasoned”, wood must be dried for a year. Regardless of whether the wood is green or seasoned, it should be stored in a well-sheltered, ventilated area to allow proper drying during the year to come. Wood should be stored beyond recommended clearance from combustibles.

DO NOT BURN:

 

 

 

* Treated Wood
