WARNING
BEFORE STARTING THE INSTALLATION, THE MASONRY CHIMNEY MUST BE INSPECTED BY A QUALIFIED
CHIMNEY SWEEPER.
The following requirements must be respected:
1.
The chimney must be absolutely clear of any soot residue or creosote. Check for cracks, loose or missing
bricks that could inhibit correct installation of the liner.
2.
The clearance to combustible material must be a minimum of 2" between the outside of the masonry
and any wood framing or loose insulation.
3.
The chimney must be built in accordance with the current building code.
4.
No other appliance can be connected to the same chimney.
NOTE
•
THE CHIMNEY MUST BE RELINED WITH A STAINLESS STEEL LINER OF THE SAME DIAMETER AS THE
OUTLET OF THE FIREPLACE.
•
FOR CONNECTION AT 30° OR 45° ANGLE (30° OR 45° IN CANADA AND 30° ONLY IN THE USA), A
SPECIAL CONNECTOR MUST BE USED TO CONNECT THE LINER TO THE INSULATED CHIMNEY. VERIFY
AVAILABILITY AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR THIS CONNECTOR WITH THE CHIMNEY
MANUFACTURER.
