Before you begin the installation, review your plans to
confirm that:

•  Your stove and chimney connector will be far enough
from combustible materials to meet all clearance
requirements.

•  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
approving your installation as safe and for determining
that it meets local and state codes.

The metal label permanently attached to the back of the
stove indicates that it has been tested to current UL and
ULC standards, and gives the name of the testing
laboratory. Clearance and installation information is
also printed on the label. Local authorities 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.

For any unresolved questions about installation, refer to
the National Fire Protection Association’s publication
ANSI/NFPA 211-1988 Standard For Chimneys, Fire-
places, Vents and Solid Fuel Burning Appliances. In
Canada, the equivalent publication is CSA CAN-B365,
Installation Code for Solid Fuel Burning Appliances and
Equipment. These standards are the basis for many
national codes. They are nationally recognized and are
accepted by most local authorities. Your local dealer or
your local building official may have a copy of these
regulations.

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.

Your Sequoia 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.

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
someone who can.

An inspection of the chimney must confirm that it has a
lining.  Do not use an unlined chimney.  The chimney
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.  Ma-
sonry chimneys must be lined, either with code-ap-
proved 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.
