Installation
SAFETY NOTICE:  IF YOUR DUTCHWEST CON-
VECTION HEATER IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED, 
OPERATED AND MAINTAINED, A HOUSE FIRE MAY 
RESULT.  FOR SAFETY, FOLLOW ALL INSTALLA-
TION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE DIREC-
TIONS.  CONTACT LOCAL BUILDING OFFICIALS 
ABOUT RESTRICTIONS AND INSTALLATION 
INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS IN YOUR AREA.
Before you begin the installation, review your plans to 
confirm that:
•  Your stove and chimney connector will be far enough 
from combustible material to meet all clearance require-
ments.
•  The floor protector is large enough and is constructed 
properly to meet all requirements.
•  You have obtained all necessary permits from local 
authorities.
Your local building official is the final authority for ap-
proving your installation as safe and for determining 
that it meets local and state codes.
Clearance and installation information is printed on the 
metal label attached to the rear of the stove.  Local au-
thorities generally will accept the label as evidence that, 
when the stove is installed according to the information 
on the label and in this manual, the installation meets 
codes and can be approved.
Codes vary in different areas, however.  Before starting 
the installation, review your plans with the local building 
authority.  Your local dealer can provide any additional 
information needed.
Important:  Failure to follow these installation instruc-
tions may result in a dangerous situation, including a 
chimney or house fire.  Follow all instructions exactly, 
and do not allow makeshift compromises to endanger 
property and personal safety.
Chimney Types
Your Dutchwest Convection Heater must be connected 
to a sound masonry chimney that meets local codes, a 
relined masonry chimney that meets local codes, or to 
an approved prefabricated metal chimney.  Whatever 
kind you use, the chimney and chimney connector must 
be in good condition and kept clean.
Masonry Chimneys
If you use an existing masonry chimney, it must be 
inspected to ensure safe condition before the stove 
is installed.  Your local professional chimney sweep, 
building inspector, or fire department official will be able 
either to make the inspection or to direct you to some-
one who can.
An inspection of the chimney must confirm that it has 
a lining.  Do not use an unlined chimney.  The chim-
ney should also be examined for cracks, loose mortar, 
other signs of deterioration, and blockage.  Repair any 
defects before the chimney is used with your stove.  
Unused openings in an existing masonry chimney must 
be sealed with masonry to the thickness of the chimney 
wall, and the chimney liner should be repaired.  Open-
ings sealed with pie plates or wallpaper are a hazard 
and should be sealed with mortar or refractory cement.  
In the event of a chimney fire, flames and smoke may 
be forced out of these unused thimbles.
The chimney should be thoroughly cleaned before use.
A newly-built masonry chimney must conform to the 
standards of your local building code or, in the absence 
of a local code, to a recognized national code.  Masonry 
chimneys must be lined, either with code-approved 
masonry or pre-cast refractory tiles, stainless steel 
pipe, or a code-approved, “poured-in-place” liner.  The 
chimney’s clean-out door must seal tightly.
