The stove must be connected to either a ma-

sonry or manufactured metal chimney built and
tested to the specifications listed on the previous
pages.

Chimneys perform two functions:
1). As a means of exhausting smoke and flue

gases which are the  result of fuel combustion.

2). The chimney provides “draft” which allows

oxygen to be continuously introduced into the
appliance, so that proper combustion is possible.
This stove relies on natural draft to operate.

Your stove itself does not create draft. Draft is

provided by the chimney. To achieve proper draft
your chimney must meet the three minimum height
requirements detailed in figures 7 – 9. A minimum
of 0.05 w.c. (measured in water column) is required
for proper drafting to prevent back puffing, smoke
spillage, and to maximize performance. (Gauges
to measure draft are readily available at stove stores
and are economical to rent or purchase.)

Factors such as wind, barometric pressure,

trees, terrain and chimney temperature can have
an adverse effect on the draft. The manufacturer
cannot be held responsible for external factors lead-
ing to less than optimal drafting.

Should you have a problem with inadequate

draft, you should contact a licensed heating and
cooling contractor for assistance in solving the
problem.

1. Size chimney flue to stove collar. This stove

requires a 6” diameter flue.

2. Never connect this unit to a chimney serv-

ing another appliance.

3. The chimney must meet all minimum

height requirements.

4. Never use a chimney to ventilate a cellar

or basement.

5. Contact your local building authority

for approved methods of installation and any
necessary permits and/or inspections.

Before using an existing masonry chimney,

clean the chimney, inspect the flue liner and make
any repairs needed to be sure it is safe to use. Make
repairs before attaching the stove. The connector
stove pipe and fittings you will need to connect
directly to a masonry chimney are shown in
figure 6.

If the connector stove pipe must go through a

combustible wall before entering the masonry
chimney, consult a qualified mason or chimney
dealer. The installation must conform to local build-
ing and fire codes and latest edition of NFPA 211.

If there is a cleanout opening in the base of the

chimney, close it tightly.
