Install the fireplace strictly according to the methods described herein and ensure proper clearance is 

provided between the walls. Use only the parts and chimneys specified in this manual. 

Any non-compliance 

with these directions could create a hazardous situation, thus voiding the certification and the warranty. 

ATTENTION:  Do not modify or adapt the fireplace’s construction or components. This would void the 

warranty. In this event, Selkirk would not be held responsible for any damages which 
may occur. 

No other device must be added to the chimney connected to the fireplace. 

Choose the best location for your fireplace based on the position of the doors and windows. Provide for 

the positioning of the outside air inlet as well as the chimney. Remember to leave sufficient space for the hearth 
extension and mantel. If possible, install the fireplace where it will not be necessary to cut any floor or ceiling 
joists.  

For optimal performance, install the chimney indoors if possible. In areas where temperatures are 

consistently below freezing (32°F/0°C), installing the chimney outdoors promotes functional problems such as 
insufficient draw, excessive creosoting, and difficult fire ignition. In addition, outdoor chimneys are subject to 
decreases in pressure and smoke flow reversal. Fireplaces with outdoor chimneys installed on lower floors 
(basements) are particularly prone to smoke flow reversal. 

As for the chimney’s configuration, there are several possibilities. See Figure #2 and 3 to determine the 

appropriate configuration for your home. The straighter the chimney, the easier it will be to clean and maintain.
