NSTALLAT
I
ON
Following,
are
three
suggested
methods
of
installing
the
DOVETEC
into
a
masonry
fireplace.
The
method
you
u-c
depends
on
what
type
of
fireplace hearth
is
in
your
home.
I.
If
the
fireplace is
equipped with
an
ashdump and
has
been
prepared
as
directed
previously,
install as
follows:
Remove
the
OAX
bex
from
the
rear
of
the
unit.
Attach a
3”
smooth
elbow
to
the
exhaust
outlet.
Attach a 3”
dia.
smooth
or
“
die,.
flex
pipe
long
enough
to carry
the
exhaust
above
the
smoke
shelf
(damper)
of
the
chimney.
This
exhaust
pipe
must
be
stainless and
the
connection should
be
secured with
2 Tek
Drill
screws.
Be
sure
that
the
ash
dump
door
is
open
to
provide
the
unit
with
fresh
air.
Guide
the
flex
pipe
up
the
chimney
and
slide
the
stove
into
the
fireplace.
Seal
the
top of
the.
unit
as
described
later.
If
the
unit
has been
raised 1
the
space
between
the
bottom
of
the
unit
and
the
hearth
must
also
be
sealed.
2.
If
the
fireplace hearth
is
not
equipped with
an
ash
dump,
there
are
two
methods suggested
for
installation.
One
is
to
use
the
OAX
(outside
air/exhaust)
adapter
box
to
allow
fresh
air
to
be
drawn
into
the
unit.
This
method
requires the
fireplace
depth
to
be
a
minimum
of
27”.
a)
Attach
a3”
diameter
stainless
steel
flex
tubing
to
the
exhaust
pipe
on
the
rear
of
the
unit
long
enough
to
reach
the
smoke
shelf
(through
the
damper
opening).
b)
Slide
the
adapter
box
over
the
flue
end
of
the
exhaust
tube,
through
the
small
opening
and
mount
the
box
to
the stove
with
Tek
screws
provided,
Check
the
coruiection
of
the
3”
flex
tube
to
the
exhaust
pipe.
c)
Measure
arid
cut
a
piece
of
6*1
flex
tubing
long
enough
to
extend
from
the
adapter
box
out
the
top
of
the
chimney,
With
the
stove
sitting
on
the
hearth,
part
way
inserted
into
the
fireplace,
connect
the
61*
flex
tubing
to
the
adapter
ring
on
the
box.
Secure
with
Tek
drill
screws.
d)
Slide
the
stove
back
into
the
fireplace
and
zeal
as
described
later.
3.
The
second
method
of
inserting
the
unit
into
a
fireplace
without
an ash
dump
is
more
simple
but
may
require
inzpecton
and
maintenance
on
a more
frequent
basis.
Follow
the
i.ristructions
given
for
method
1.
th
the
difference
being
that
there
is
no
ash
dump
door
allowing
otsjde
air
into
the
unit,
Instead,
the
unit
will
pull
combustion
air
from
within
the
fireplace
cavity
aM
may
possibly
pick
up
debris
and
fly
ash 1
therefore
requiring
more
frequent
cleaning
and
maintenance
of
the
air
flow
system. Seal
the
unit
accordingly.
t*CAin’ION*t
If
this
method
is
used
the
unit
must
be
sealed
airtight
to
prevent
combustion
air
from
being
drawn
from
within
the
house.

&
SEALING
THE
UNIT
I,.
Before
attaching
the
upper
trim
panel
to
the
stove,
measure
to
be
sure
that the
trim
paei
will cover
the
opening
left
between
the
stove
and
the
masonry
of
the
fireplace.
If
the
trim
does
not
cover
the
entire
opening,
a
panel
of
greater
height
and/or
width
to fit
the
larger
dimension
is
available.
2.
Using
the
Tek drill
screws
provided,
attach
the upper
trim
panel
to the
stove
and
fasten securely.
(See

are
cemented.
4.
Place
the
fiberglass
strip
(l wide
x 1/2.”
thick,
backed
with
adhesive)
on
the back
of
the
trim
panel,
across
the
top
and
down
both
sides
as illustrated
in Figure
S
as
a dotted
line
section
*
5. The
DOVETEC
should
be centered
in
the fireplace.
6.
When
the
unit is
slid
into
position
in
the
fireplace,
the
insulation
should
be depressed
against
the
masonry,
sealing
the
entire
edge
of
the
fireplace
edge.
It will
appear
flush
from
the
side
(Figure
6>.
This
will
prevent
loss
of
wart
air
up
the
chimney.

Extreme
care should
be
taken
when
installing
a
DOVETEC
in
a
mobile
or
pre-manufactured
home.
Be
sure
to
read
the
entire
manual
carefully,
paying
particular
attention
to
Section
II,
“Freestandirg
Installation”,
when
it
comes
to
installing
your
unit.
In
addition
to
the
instructions
previously
set
forth
in
this
manual,
there
are
requirements
mandated
by
the
Housing
and
Urban Development (M.U.D.)
of
the Federal
Government.
which
apply.
Briefly,
these
requirements are
as
follows;
A.
The
structural
integrity
of
the
home
must be
maintained.
in
other
words,
you
cannot
cut
a
floor
joist,
wail
stud,
or
rafter
truss when
installing
your DOVETEC.
B. Outside
air must
be
vented
to
the
combustion
box.
C.
The
outside
air/exhaust
pipe must
be
texinated
with
a.
rodent.
cap.
D.
The
DOVETEC
cannot
be
installed
in
any
room
used
for
sleeping.
E.
When installing
as
a
freestanding
unit,follow
“Freestanding
installation”
directions,
with
the
addition
that the
unit
must
be
anchored
to
the
floor
of
the
home.
This
may
be
accomplished
in
the
following
5tepS.
1)
Place
the
base
exactly
in
its
pre-determined
position.
Use two
90
degree
L-brackets
from
your
kit
and
anchor
to
the
floor
using
1”
leg
screws.
Drill
a
1/4”
hole
through the base
and secure the
brackets
to
the base
using
two
of
the
10-32
bolts,
*10
washers,
and
10-fl
nt3
provided
Tighten
securely
See Figure
12
2)
Carefully
measure
and
position
the
two
top mounted
brackets.
Drill
1/4” hole
on
each
side
of
the
base
top
end
secure
the
brackets
to
the
support
base
using
the
two
remaining
1”
10-32
bolts,
washers,
and
nuts.
3)
Place
the
unit
en
the
base
and
carefully
align it
making
sure that
the
outside
air/exhaust
pipe
fits
properly,
and
that
all
clearance5
have been
met
The
hare
shoull
be
recessed
approximately
1”
from
the
edge
of
the
bottom
of
the
unite
4)
Drill
one
1/4”
hole

and secure
with
the
10-16

provided.
See
Figure
12.
F.
When
installing
as
a
fireplace
insert,
follow
“Fireplace
Insert”
directions,
as
given
in
Section
I.
Most
mobile
home
fireplaces
are
equipped
with
a
side
vent
for
air,
and
if
this
is so,
the installation
should
follow
method
#1
(like
that
for
a
fireplace
with an
ash
dump).
The
side
vent
should
be
left
open to
provide
fresh
air needed
for
combustion,
as,long
as
the vent opening
is
covered
with
wire
sreen to
prevent
entrance
of
rodents,
birds
etc.

are
inherent
in
any
solid fuel
unit
installation.
You
should
be
aware
of
these
so
that
a
safe
and
proper
installation
can be
made.
1.
Prior
to
building
your
first
fire.
the
manufacturer
recornends
that
your
DOVETEC
installation
be
inspected
by
the
local
governing
authority
having
the
jurisdiction
to
ascertain
that
all
code
requirements
have
been complied
with.
If
such inspections
are not
possible,
the owner
should
acquaint
themselves
with the
following:

should
be
thoroughly
checked
to
be
sure
there
are
no
holes
or
weak

distance
from the
unit
in
a
dry, well
ventilated
location.
12.
Ash
removed
from
the stove
should
be
placed
in
a metal
container
with
a
tight fitting

1.
Recheck
all
specified
clearances.
2.
Make
sure
no
foreign
material
has
beer dropped
into the

is
painted
with a
specially
formulated
high
temperature
paint
that
cures
during
the
first
few
hours
of
operation.
You
may
notice
smoking
or
an
odor
of
burning
paint
during
the first
few
hours
of
operation.
This
is
normal
and
is
no
cause
for alarm
(though
these fumes
can
activate
a

until
the
smoke
and
fumes
cease
to
occur.
IGtITION
PROCEDURE
1.
Fill

CONTROL
PRTEL:
Located
on
the
righthand side
of
the
DOVETEC:
there
are
two
types
of timers,
illustrated
below as
Type
1’
and
Type
2’.
TITh
Fuel
Feed
Rate
is
deterined
by
the
amount
of time
that
the
auger
is
on
versus
the
amount
of time
that
it
is
off.
This
is controlled
by
a
dual
timer
with
maximum
settings
of
10
seconds
each.
Over a
period
of
time,
you
will
learn
the
best
and
most
efficient
settings
for
your
particular
installation.
COMBUSTION BLOWER/POWER
SWITCH:
This
red
switch
controls
the
power
to
the
unit.
This
also
operates
the
combustion
blower
which
forces
air
into
the
burner
box
and
draws
the
exhaust
out
of
the
firebox.
WARM
AIR
CIRCUIJLTION
BLOWER/CONTROL
Controls
the
amount
of
warm
air
entering
the
room.
This
control
regulates
the
air

into
the
room,
Does
not
effect
combustion
efficiency.
FUEL:
Depending
on
fuel
feed
rate,
a
full
hopper
will
last
from
12
to
24
hours.
Hopper
should
be
replenished
as
needed
and
can
be
filled
while
unit
is
in
operation.

Gently
tip
klinker
upright,
so
that
the burnable
ashes
and
corn
fall off
the top
of
the klinker
and
back
into
the burner
box.
Place
the
tool
underneath
the kiinker,
lift up,
and
