1. Maximum burn times and heat outputs are based on laboratory testing using full loads of seasoned hardwoods, and may vary in individual use
depending on how the stove is operated, type and moisture content of fuels, and other factors. Maximum burn times are achieved under different
operating conditions than are maximum heat outputs.
2. These values are based on operation in building code-conforming homes under typical Winter climate conditions in the northeastern U.S. If your
home is of nonstandard construction (e.g. unusually well-insulated, not insulated, built underground, or if you live in a more severe or more temperate
climate), these gures may not apply. Since so many variables affect performance, consult your Dutchwest Authorized Dealer to determine realistic
expectations for your home.
4. Under specic conditions used during EPA emissions testing.
5. Based on preliminary results obtained during EPA emissions testing.
6. Efciency determined by CSA B415.10.

Installation
SAFETY NOTICE: IF YOUR DUTCHWEST CONVECTION
HEATER IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED, OPERATED
AND MAINTAINED, A HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT. FOR
SAFETY, FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION, OPERATION
AND MAINTENANCE DIRECTIONS. CONTACT LO-
CAL BUILDING OFFICIALS ABOUT RESTRICTIONS
AND INSTALLATION INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS
IN YOUR AREA.
Before you begin the installation, review your plans to
conrm that:
• Your stove and chimney connector will be far enough from
combustible material to meet all clearance requirements.
• The oor protector is large enough and is constructed
properly to meet all requirements.
• You have obtained all necessary permits from local
authorities.
Your local building ofcial is the nal authority for approving
your installation as safe and for determining that it meets
local and state codes.
Clearance and installation information is printed on the
metal label attached to the rear of the stove. Local authori-
ties generally will accept the label as evidence that, when
the stove is installed according to the information on the
label and in this manual, the installation meets codes and
can be approved.
Codes vary in different areas, however. Before starting
the installation, review your plans with the local building
authority. Your local dealer can provide any additional
information needed.
Important: Failure to follow these installation instructions
may result in a dangerous situation, including a chimney
or house re. Follow all instructions exactly, and do not
allow makeshift compromises to endanger property and
personal safety.
Chimney Types
Your Dutchwest Convection Heater must be connected
to a sound masonry chimney that meets local codes, a
relined masonry chimney that meets local codes, or to an
approved prefabricated metal chimney. Whatever kind you
use, the chimney and chimney connector must be in good
condition and kept clean.
Masonry Chimneys
If you use an existing masonry chimney, it must be inspected
to ensure safe condition before the stove is installed. Your
local professional chimney sweep, building inspector, or re
department ofcial will be able either to make the inspection
or to direct you to someone who can.
An inspection of the chimney must conrm that it has a lin-
ing. Do not use an unlined chimney. The chimney should
also be examined for cracks, loose mortar, other signs of
deterioration, and blockage. Repair any defects before the
chimney is used with your stove.
Unused openings in an existing masonry chimney must
be sealed with masonry to the thickness of the chimney
wall, and the chimney liner should be repaired. Openings
sealed with pie plates or wallpaper are a hazard and should
be sealed with mortar or refractory cement. In the event
of a chimney re, ames and smoke may be forced out of
these unused thimbles.
The chimney should be thoroughly cleaned before use.
A newly-built masonry chimney must conform to the
standards of your local building code or, in the absence
of a local code, to a recognized national code. Masonry
chimneys must be lined, either with code-approved ma-
sonry or pre-cast refractory tiles, stainless steel pipe, or
a code-approved, “poured-in-place” liner. The chimney’s
clean-out door must seal tightly.

Prefabricated Chimneys
A prefabricated metal chimney must be one tested and
listed for use with solid-fuel burning appliances.
A horizontal connector run should be inclined 1/4” per foot
(20 mm per meter) from the stove toward the chimney.
The recommended maximum length of a horizontal run is 3
feet (1m) and the total length of chimney connector should
be no longer than 8 feet (2.5m).
Chimney Height
For proper draft and good performance, the chimney
should extend at least 16’ (5 m) above the ue collar of
the stove.
The chimney must also extend at least 3’ (900 mm) above
the highest point where it passes through a roof, and at
least 2’ (600 mm) higher than any portion of a building
within 10’ (3 m). (Fig. 2)

Chimney Size
The Model 2460 and 2461 heaters should be vented into
a masonry chimney with a square ue with nominal ue
size of 8” x 8” (200 x 200 mm), or a round ue with nominal
ue size of 6” (150 mm). The Model 2462 heater should be
vented into a masonry chimney with a nominal ue size of 8”
x 8” (200 mm x 200 mm) square, or 8” (200 mm) round.
Chimney liners larger than 8” x 12” (200 x 300 mm) may
promote rapid cooling of smoke and reduction in draft,
especially if they are located outside the home. These
large chimneys may need to be insulated or have their
ues relined for proper stove performance.
Accessories to help make the connection between stainless
steel chimney liners and the stove are available through
your local dealer.

Guidelines for Installing
the Chimney Connector
The chimney connector is the single-wall pipe, or listed and
approved double-wall pipe that connects the stove to the
chimney. The chimney itself is a masonry or prefabricated
structure that encloses the ue. Chimney connectors are
used only to make the connection from the stove to the
chimney.
Do not pass the chimney connector through a combustible
wall or ceiling, or through an attic, a closet or any similar
concealed space. If passage through a combustible wall
is unavoidable, follow the recommendations in the follow-
ing section on Wall Pass-Throughs. Keep the passage
as short and direct as possible, with no more than two 90
degree turns.
Two Types of Connector
You may use either a single-wall steel connector of the
size and gauge described below, or a listed and approved
double-wall connector.
Single-Wall Connector
The single-wall chimney connector should be made of 24
gauge or heavier steel, and must have a minimum internal
diameter of 6” (150 mm) for models 2460 and 2461, or 8”
(200 mm) for model 2462.
Install single-wall chimney connector not less than 18” (450
mm) from the ceiling.
In cathedral ceiling installations, extend the prefabricated
chimney downward to within 8 feet (2.5 meters) of the
stove. The entire chimney connector should be exposed
and accessible for inspection and cleaning.
Do not use galvanized chimney connector; it cannot
withstand the high temperatures that can be reached by
smoke and exhaust gases and it may release toxic fumes
under high heat.
