MASONRY CHIMNEY
The chimney must be a code-approved, masonry
chimney with
ƀWG
liner. Before using an existing ma-
sonry chimney, clean the chimney, inspect the
ƀ
ue
liner and make any repairs needed to be sure it is safe
to use. Make repairs before attaching the stove. The
connector stove pipe and
ſVVKPIU
you will need to con-
nect directly to a lined masonry chimney are shown in
ſIWTG
.
The stove must be connected to either a lined ma-
sonry or manufactured metal chimney built and tested

evious pages.
Chimneys perform two functions:
1). As a means of exhausting smoke and
ƀWG
gases which are the result of fuel com-
bustion.
2). The chimney (only) provides “draft” which allows
oxygen to be continuously introduced into the
appliance, so that proper combustion is
possible. This stove relies on natural draft to
operate.
NOTICE: Always provide a source of fresh air into
the room where the stove is located. Failure to do
so may result in air starvation of other fuel burn-
ing appliances and the possible development of
hazardous conditions.
A stove
DOES NOT
create draft.
Draft is provided
by the chimney.
To achieve proper draft your chimney
must meet the four minimum height requirements
detailed in
ſIWTGU
11–13.
If these minimum require-
ments are not met your stove will not operate
properly.
A minimum of 0.05 w.c. (measured in water
column) is required for proper drafting to prevent back
RWHſPI
smoke spillage, and to maximize performance.
(Gauges to measure draft are readily available at stove
stores and are economical to rent or purchase.)
Factors such as wind, barometric pressure, trees,
terrain and chimney temperature can have an adverse
effect on the draft. The manufacturer cannot be held
responsible for external factors leading to less than
optimal drafting.
Should you have a problem with inadequate draft,
you should contact a licensed heating and cooling con-
tractor for assistance in solving the problem.
For a more in-depth explanation see Chimney Draft
on page 17.
IMPORTANT Installation Points
1. Size chimney flue to stove collar. This stove
requires a minim

e.
2. Never connect this unit to a chimney serving an-
other appliance.
3. The chimney must meet all minimum height require-
ments.
4. Never use a chimney to ventilate a cellar or base-
ment.
5. C o n t a c t y o u r l o c a l b u i l d i n g a u t h o r i t y
for approved methods of installation and any
necessary permits and/or inspections.

If the connector stove pipe must go through a
combustible wall before entering the masonry chimney,
consult a quali
ſ
ed mason or chimney dealer. The instal-
lation must conform to local building and
ſ
re codes and
latest edition of NFPA 211.
If there is a clean out opening in the base of the
chimney, close it tightly.
