SAFETY Continued
WARNING: CONTINUED OVERFIRING CAN PER-
MANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR FIREPLACE SYSTEM.
SOME EXAMPLES OF CONDITIONS THAT COULD
CAUSE OVERFIRING ARE:
• BURNINGQUANTITIESOFSCRAPLUMBER,PINE
BRANCHES, PAPER OR CARDBOARD BOXES
WHICH EXCEED THE VOLUME OF THE NORMAL
LOG FIRE.
• BURNING TRASH, CHEMICALS OR CHEMICALLY
TREATED COMBUSTIBLES.
Disposal of Ashes
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a
tight-fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should
be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground,
well away from all combustible materials, pending
final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial
in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be
retained in the closed container until all cinders have
thoroughly cooled.
WHEN USING THE DECORATIVE APPLIANCE, THE
FIREPLACE DAMPER MUST BE SET IN THE FULLY
OPEN POSITION.
Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kero-
sene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start
or ’freshen up’ a fire in this fireplace. Keep all such
liquids well away from the fireplace while it is in use.
Use SOLID WOOD only for fuel. It is best to use dry
and well seasoned hardwood. Softwoods tend to burn
veryquickly.DONOTusetreatedwood,charcoal,coal,
trash,driftwoodorwoodsthathavebeendippedintar,
pitch, pine tar, creosote, etc. Wood products made
with synthetic binders, such as plywood, produce ab-
normally high temperatures and sputtering, smoking
fires. When burning artificial logs, please read and
follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer.
Never burn treated construction lumber or scraps.
These woods burn excessively hot and may contain
chemicals used to treat insects and fungus. When
burned,thesechemicalscanposeasignificanthazard.
IMPORTANT: See appendix A, page 21 for additional
information regarding draft requirements, smoking
causes and troubleshooting.
WARNING: BURNING IMPROPER FUEL (I.E.
CHARCOAL) CAN RESULT IN CARBON MONOXIDE
POISONING, WHICH MAY LEAD TO DEATH!
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning – Early signs of carbon
monoxidepoisoningresemblethefluwithheadaches,
dizziness, or nausea. If you have these signs, get
fresh air at once! Have the appliance inspected by a
qualified service technician. Some people are more
affected by carbon monoxide than others. These
include pregnant women, people with heart or lung
disease or anemia, those under the influence of al-
cohol, and those at high altitudes.
Ventilation Requirements - Provide adequate air for
combustion. The fresh air requirements of this ap-
pliance must be met within the space where it will
be installed.
Smoke Detectors - Since there are always several
potential sources of fire in any home, we recommend
installing smoke detectors. If possible, install the
smoke detector in a hallway adjacent to the room (to
reduce the possibility of occasional false activation
fromtheheatproducedbytheappliance). Ifyourlocal
coderequiresasmokedetectorbeinstalledwithinthe
same room, you must follow the requirements of your
localcode. Checkwithyour localbuildingdepartment
for requirements in your area.
Creosote – Formation and Need for Removal
Whenwood is burnedslowly, itproducestar and other
organicvapors,whichcombinewithexpelledmoisture
to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in
the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow-burning
fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on
the flue lining. When ignited this creosote makes an
extremely hot fire.
The chimney shall be inspected at least twice a
year during the heating season to determine when a
creosote buildup has occurred. When creosote has
accumulated(1/8"[3mm]ormore)itshallberemoved

FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
SELECTING LOCATION
To determine safest and most efficient location for fireplace, you
must take into consideration the following guidelines:
1. Location must allow for proper clearances (see Figures 1 and 2).
2. Consider a location where fireplace will not be affected by drafts,
air conditioning ducts, windows or doors.
3. A location that avoids cutting of joists or roof rafters will make
installation easier.
4. An outside air kit is available with this fireplace (see Optional
Outside Air Kit on page 7).
MINIMUM CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES
Back and sides of fireplace 3/4" minimum*
Floor** 0" minimum
Perpendicular wall to opening 12" minimum
Top spacers 0" minimum
Mantel clearances see Mantels, page 6
Chimney outer pipe surface 1" minimum
** See step 2 of Framing
WARNING: DO NOT PACK REQUIRED AIR SPACES
WITH INSULATION OR OTHER MATERIALS.
Minimum/Maximum Chimney Height
Minimum height of chimney, measured from base of fireplace to
flue gas outlet of termination, is 14.5 feet for straight flue or a flue
with one elbow set. Maximum distance between elbows is 6 feet. For
systems with two elbow sets, minimum height is 22 feet. Maximum
height of any system is 50 feet. This measurement includes fireplace,
chimney sections and height of termination assembly at level of flue
gas outlet (see Figure 21, page 13).
FRAMING
1. Frame opening for fireplace using dimensions shown in Figures
1 and 2.
Note: When the fireplace is framed, the header has to be turned
on the vertical edge to maintain proper clearance.
2. If fireplace is to be installed directly on carpeting, tile or any
combustible material other than wood flooring, fireplace must
be installed upon a metal or wood panel extending full width and
depth of fireplace.
3. Set fireplace directly in front of this opening and slide unit back
until nailing flanges touch side framing.
4. Check level of fireplace and shim with sheet metal if necessary.
5. Before securing fireplace to prepared framing, ember protector
must be placed between hearth extension (not included) and
under bottom front edge of fireplace to protect against glowing
embers falling through. If fireplace is to be installed on a raised
platform, a Z-type ember protector (not included) must be fabri-
cated to fit your required platform height. Ember protector should
extend under fireplace a minimum of 1 1/2". Ember protector
should be made of galvanized sheet metal (28 gauge minimum)
to prevent corrosion.
6. Using screws or nails, secure fireplace to framing through flanges
located on sides of fireplace.
Figure 1 - Framing Dimensions
Figure 2 - Corner Installation
HEARTH EXTENSION
A hearth extension projecting a minimum of 20" in front of and a
minimum of 12" beyond each side of fireplace opening is required
to protect combustible floor construction in front of fireplace. Fab-
ricate a hearth extension using a material which meets the following
specifications: a layer of noncombustible, inorganic material having
a thermal conductivity of k = .84 BTU IN/FT2HR °F (or less) at 1"
thick. For example, if material selected has a k factor of 0.25, such
as glass fiber, the following formula would apply:
0.25 x 1.0" = 0.30" thickness required
0.84
Thermal conductivity "k" of materials can be obtained from manu-
facturer or supplier of noncombustible material. If hearth extension
is to be covered, use noncombustible material such as tile, slate,
brick, concrete, metal, glass, marble, stone, etc. Provide a means to
prevent hearth extension from shifting and seal gap between fireplace
frame and hearth extension with a non-combustible material such
as sand-cement grout (see Figure 3, page 6).

ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION OF DOUBLE WALL CHIMNEY
SYSTEM
SS-8DM starter section must be installed first.
Each double wall chimney section consists of a galvanized outer
pipe, a stainless steel inner flue pipe and a wire spacer. Pipe sections
must be assembled independently as chimney is installed. When
connecting chimney directly to fireplace, inner flue pipe section
must be installed first with lanced side up. Outer pipe section can
then be installed over flue pipe section with hemmed end up. Press
down on each pipe section until lances securely engage hem on
fireplace starter. Wire will assure proper spacing between inner
and outer pipe sections.
Note: For Canada, use chimney parts designated HT.
Opening in collar around chimney at top of
fireplace must not be obstructed. Never use blown
insulation to fill chimney enclosure.
Continue to assemble chimney sections as outlined, making sure
that both inner and outer pipe sections are locked together. When
installing double wall snap-lock chimney together, it is important to
assure joint between chimney sections is locked. Check by pulling
chimney upward after locking. Chimney will not come apart if properly
locked. It is not necessary to add screws to keep chimney together
(exception - see Figure 12, page 10).
The height of a vertical chimney pipe supported ONLY by the fireplace,
must not exceed 20 feet. Chimney heights above 20 feet must be
supported.
USING ELBOW OFFSET 30E-12DMO-8DMR
To clear overhead obstructions, you may offset your chimney system
using 30E-12DMO-8DMR 30° Offset/return elbow.
A section or sections of chimney may be used between offsets and
return elbow. Starter section must be used after elbow offset is at-
tached.
1. To achieve desired offset, you may install combinations of 12",
18", 24", 36" and 48" length of double wall pipe (see offset chart,
page 10).
Note: For systems with 2 elbow sets, minimum height is 22 feet.
Maximum height for any system is 50 feet.
2. Chimney weight above offset rests on return elbow. Straps must
be securely nailed to rafters or joists (see Figure 11, details A and
B, page 9).
3. Maximum length of pipe between supports (return elbow or 12S-
8DM) is 6' of angle run. Maximum of two 6' angle run sections
per chimney system (see Figure 10, page 9).
4. All pipe connections between offset and return must be secured
with two screws on outer pipe only (see Figure 12, page 10). Do
not penetrate inner stainless.

Firestop spacers are required at each point where chimney penetrates
a floor space. Their purpose is to establish and maintain required
clearance between chimney and combustible materials. When pipe
passes through a framed opening into a living space above, firestop
must be placed onto ceiling from below as shown in Figure 13.
They also provide complete separation from one floor space to an-
other or attic space as required by most codes. When double wall
pipe passes through a framed opening into an attic space, firestop
must be placed into an attic floor as shown in Figure 14, page 11.

FLASHING INSTALLATION (V6F-8DM OR V12F-8DM)
Determine flashing to be used with roof opening chart. Slide flashing
over pipe until base is flat against roof. Replace as many shingles as
needed to cover exposed area and flashing base. Secure in position
by nailing through shingles (see Figure 16). DO NOT NAIL THROUGH
FLASHING CONE.
Installing Flashing on a Metal Roof
When installing flashing on a metal roof, it is required that putty tape
be used between flashing and roof. Flashing must be secured to roof
using #8 x 3/4" screws and then sealed with roof coating to prevent
leakage through screw holes. A roof coating must also be applied
around perimeter of flashing to provide a proper seal.
Figure 16 - Flashing Installation
Figure 14 - Firestop Spacer with Attic Space Above Ceiling
Figure 14a - Firestop Thimble
If area above is an attic or insulated area,
install firestop above framed hole.
PENETRATING ROOF
To maintain a 1" clearance to pipe on a roof with a pitch, a rectangular
opening must be cut.
1. Determine center point where pipe will penetrate the roof.
2. Determine center point of the roof. Pitch is the distance the roof
drops over a given span, usually 12". A 6/12 pitch means that the
roof drops 6" for each 12" measure horizontally down from roof
rafters.
3. Use roof opening chart (Figure 15) to determine correct opening
length and flashing required.
4. Remove shingles around opening measured. Cut out this section.
5. Add next sections of pipe until end penetrates roof line. Check to see
that proper clearances are maintained. Extend chimney by adding
sections of double wall pipe until pipe is minimum of 30" above
highest point of roof cutout. Termination and chimney must extend
a minimum of 36" above highest point where it passes through
roof.

VENTING INSTALLATION Continued
CHASE INSTALLATIONS
Instructions for chase installations are included with chase style ter-
mination chosen. In a multiple chase installation, be sure to provide
adequate distance between terminations to prevent smoke spillage
from one termination to another. We suggest that terminations be
separated at least 24", center to center and stacked at a vertical height
difference of 18" (see Figure 19).
Note: If a decorative shroud is to be installed, contact manufacturer
for specifications.
Figure 19 - Multiple Chase Installation
Figure 20 - 10 Foot Rule
10 FOOT RULE
All flue gas outlet chimney terminations must extend a minimum of
3 feet in height above highest point where it passes through roof and
must be at least 2 feet above highest point of the roof that is within
a horizontal distance of 10 feet (see Figure 20).
FINISHING FIREPLACE
Combustible materials, such as wallboard, sheet rock, drywall, ply-
wood, etc., may make direct contact with sides and top around fire-
place face. It is important that combustible materials do not overlap
face itself. Brick, glass, tile or other noncombustible materials may
overlap front face provided they do not obstruct essential openings
such as louvered slots. When overlapping with a noncombustible
facing material, use only noncombustible mortar or adhesive.
Storm Collar Installation (SC1)
Place storm collar over pipe and slide down until it is snug against
open edge of flashing (see Figure 17). Use SC1 for all round termina-
tions. Apply waterproof caulk around perimeter of collar to provide
a proper seal.
Figure 17 - Storm Collar
Terminations/Spark Arrestor
Fireplace system must be terminated with listed round top or chase
terminations. In any case, refer to installation instructions supplied
with termination. Terminations approved for this fireplace are RT-8DM
and RLT-8DM that can be used for flashing or chase and ET-8DM,
ETO-8DM, ETL-8DM and ETLO-8DM for chase style termination only.
Figure 18 shows an RLT-8DM round top termination.
CAUTION: Do not seal openings on the rooftop
flashing.Follow theinstallation instructionsprovided
with the termination being used.
Terminations with 16" slip pipe sections are available. RTT-8DM and
RLTT-8DM are approved for flashing installations. When needed,
these adjustable terminations may be used in combination with pipe
assembly to achieve correct chimney height.
Note: In the rare instance there is a problem with side driven rain or
wind or chimney is not drafting properly, an ADS-8DM (Anti-Draft
Shield) can be used with round terminations.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
GLASS DOORS
Glass doors are optional with this fireplace. When fireplace is in
operation, doors must be fully opened or fully closed position only
or a fire hazard may be created (see Figure 24).
A fireplace equipped with glass doors operates much differently than
a fireplace with an open front. A fireplace with glass doors has a
limited amount of air for combustion. Excessive heat within fireplace
can result if too large a fire is built or if combustion air gate is not
completely open.
The following tips should be used to assure that both fireplace and
glass door retain their beauty and function properly. Both the flue
damper and glass doors must be fully opened before starting a
fire. This will provide sufficient combustion air and maintain safe
temperatures in firebox.
IMPORTANT: The glass must be allowed to warm slowly and evenly.
Tempered glass will withstand a gradual temperature rise to 550°
F, which is more than a normal fire will generate. Such materials as
pitch/wax laden logs, very dry mill end lumber and large amounts
of paper or cardboard boxes can create an excessively hot fire and
should not be burned in this fireplace. Always keep fire back from
doors and never allow flames to contact glass.
WARNING:FIREPLACES EQUIPPED WITHDOORS
SHOULD BE OPERATED ONLY WITH DOORS FULLY
OPENORDOORSFULLYCLOSED.IFDOORSARELEFT
PARTLYOPEN,GAS ANDFLAME MAYBE DRAWN OUT
OF THE FIREPLACE OPENING, CREATING RISKS OF
BOTH FIRE AND SMOKE.
WARNING: Discontinue use of the appliance imme-
diately if doors are damaged and contact a qualified
installer for repair. Only doors certified with the
appliance shall be used.
WARNING: Do not slam or strike doors. Damage
can result in a hazardous condition.
OPTIONAL GAS LINE INSTALLATION Continued
Figure 23 - Gas Line Installation
Figure 22 - Gas Line Knockout
If you install a decorative gas appliance (vented gas log), decorative
gas appliance must comply with the Standard for Decorative Gas
Appliance for Installation in Solid Fuel Burning Fireplaces, ANSI
Z21.60/CSA 2.26 or Z21.84 and shall also be installed in accordance
with ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 National Fuel Gas Codes (USA) and CAN/
CGA-B149.1 National Gas And Propane Installation Code (Canada).
WARNING: To avoid the risk of damaging fireplace
materials and increasing the risk of spreading a fire,
do not use fireplace to cook or warm food.
WARNING: If the fireplace has been used for wood
burning,fireboxandchimneymustbecleanedofsoot,
creosote and ashes be a qualified chimney cleaner.
Creosote will ignite if heavily heated.
