  WARNING:  FUEL  STORAGE  WITHIN  THE  CLEARANCE  PARAMETERS  OUTLINED  IN  THIS 

MANUAL  IS  EXPRESSLY  FORBIDDEN  UNDER  CANADIAN  LAW  DUE  TO  THE  HAZARD  POTENTIAL  OF 

STRAY EMBERS. See: Diagram #6.

CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES 

!

WARNING:  BE  SURE  THAT  THE  DISTANCE  BETWEEN  THE  KIMBERLY™  WOOD  STOVE  HEATER  AND 

THE SURFACE OF ANY COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL IS NOT LESS THAN DETAILED IN THIS MANUAL. 

!

FLOOR PROTECTION 

!

The floor underneath, to the sides, and to the rear of the Kimberly™ wood stove heater must be protected by a 

minimum of 3/8-inch (1 cm) thick UL-1618 Type-1 floor pad, which is made from non-combustible material. The 

floor pad must extend 18 inches (45.72 cm) in front of the loading door, 8 inches (20.32 cm) to the sides, and 12 

inches (30.48 cm) to the rear, or to the wall, whichever is greater. Allow for the multi-fuel pellet venting pipe to 

have a minimum 6-inch (15.24 cm) clearance from combustible materials. See Diagram #6. 

!

ALCOVE CLEARANCES 

!

The Kimberly™ wood stove heater is certified for use in alcoves with a minimum of 22 inches (55.88 cm) wide 

up to a maximum of 48 inches (121.92 cm) deep, with a minimum 72-inch (182.88 cm) ceiling. 

!

GENERAL INFORMATION ON CHIMNEY & CONNECTORS 

!

1. The Kimberly™ wood stove heater is approved for four types of residential chimney systems: 1. Connecting 

To A New Manufactured Chimney; 2. Connecting To A Pre-Existing Masonry Fireplace Chimney; 3. Relining A 

Pre-Existing Masonry Chimney; and 4. Connecting To A Pre-Existing Manufactured Chimney. Instructions for 

each  type  of  chimney  system  are  contained  in  this  manual.  We  are  happy  to  assist  with  questions.  Call 

1-855-872-7868  or  email  support@unforgettablefirellc.com,  or  contact  your  authorized  Kimberly™  dealer. 

See also Diagram #8, Diagram #9, and Diagram #10. 

!

2.

Note

 

that  all  approved  chimney  systems  are  vertical.  None  of  the  approved  chimney  systems  exit 

horizontally through a wall.

 

!

3. As with any wood stove, the relationship between the Kimberly™ wood stove heater and its chimney is much 

like the relationship between the heart and lungs in the human body—neither can function efficiently without 

the full cooperation of the other. It is therefore important that the chimney (the “lungs”) is the correct diameter 

and height to ensure the Kimberly™ wood stove heater (the “heart”) functions to the efficiency for which it 

was engineered. 

!

4. Some  situations  may  require  additional  venting  components.  Your  Kimberly™  stove  dealer  will  be  able  to 

assist  you  in  analyzing  your  specific  needs.  Alternatively,  you  may  call  Unforgettable  Fire™  at 

1-855-872-7868  or  email  support@unforgettablefirellc.com  for  further  information.  For  example,  if  your 

Kimberly™ wood stove heater is difficult to start, or smoke escapes into the room when the door is open, 

your  installation  may  require  a  longer  chimney  to  improve  the  draft  uptake;  remember  that  slow  or 

inadequate  draft  equals  poor  combustion  and  possible  smoking  problems.  Alternatively,  if  you  can  not 

achieve sufficient burn time on a single fuel load, or your stove top often glows red, you may need an inline 

chimney damper to reduce draft, especially in taller chimney applications. 

!

5.

CANADA: 

No  chimney  connector  shall  pass  through  an  attic  or  roof  space,  closet,  or  similar  concealed 

space,  or  a  floor,  or  ceiling.  Where  passage  through  a  wall,  or  partition  of  combustible  construction  is 

desired, the installation shall conform to CAN/CSA-B365, Installation Code for Solid-Fuel-Burning Appliances 

and Equipment.
