Firebricks installation on the pipes
The firebricks must be put on the 3 pipes from the front of
combustion chamber. Bricks keep a maximum of heat inside the
combustion chamber and help the air ratio to burn the most of
wood pollution gas made by wood steam and wet wood.
Put the rockwool above the brick, it prevent leakage between the
bricks and keep a maximum heat inside combustion chamber. It
must cover up all the bricks and the each side of top of the air
corridor.
IMPORTANT: The rockwool must not obstruct the smoke exit
way. Check in the flue collar and make sure that is in the good
position.
1) Put 3 « A » bricks and 1 «C» brick over the first tree top
pipes and push it to the back angle brick. Be sure to
eliminate any gap space between the back bricks
previously placed and the brick you install.
2) Put the rockwool over the bricks and assume then the
smoke exit way is not obstructed.
3) Put two half metal disk over the rockwool near the rear
deflector already in place. Be sure to put it under the rear
deflector to maximise the clearance between rockwool and
the rear deflector. You can look by flue collar to be sure the
rockwool is not obstructig the space.

April 28th, 2016 16
Chimney installation, General steps
Use only approved chimneys. The same size as the output
collar. 6 inches in this case. The chimneys used must be tested
according to CAN/ULC S629 M87 in Canada and to UL 103
(type HT) In USA. The stove can be install with a masonry
chimney according to ULC S635, ULC S640 and UL 1777. The
masonry chimney must be equipped with a stainless steel
sleeve and meet the standards for the masonry chimney with
inner sleeve.
Provide a place to sweeping.
When possible, it is preferable to avoid an outside chimney or
built on an exterior wall, and this is even more important for
colder areas. Outside chimneys generally have a less efficient
draught. They can even have an inverse draught because it is
hard to heat them enough so that they can reach their operating
temperature. A greater accumulation of creosote, a less efficient
draught and a lesser performance are some characteristics of
cold chimneys. Draught is proportional to the total chimney
height as well as its temperature. It is therefore possible to get a
better draught by increasing the chimney's height and by
reducing the heat loss with an insulated lining. The chimney has
to be installed with a stainless steel lining. Make sure that all
smoke pipe joints are really airtight. A leak reduces the efficiency
of the appliance and could even make its utilization dangerous.
Note: This is a general chimneys installation method.
Always refer to the manufacturer’s manual of the chimney
for a more detailed method for your chimney.
1) Determine the total length needed for your chimney..
2) Cut the holes into all floor and roof
3) If you need to cut a joist, be sure to strengthen the
adjacent joists and frame hole respecting the
minimum dimensions to be maintained between
combustible materials and the firewall. Follow the

External combustion air source
In conventional designed house, natural ventilation is enough
to operate the wood stove.
In some new energy saving house, natural ventilation is not
enough to good operation of your stove. To avoid reverse
circulation of smoke caused by negative pressure when turning
on some fan on like: Bathroom fan, Cooking fan or a drying
machine. Open slightly a window in the same room than the
appliance to compensate the depressurisation,
A mobile home on a foundation is considered like a
conventional house.
Exterior Air Intake pipe
This appliance is certified for the mobile home installation. An
external air intake is need.
We recommend to use a 4 inches (10.7 cm) aluminum flexible
pipe, a damper and a caped air inlet equipped with grate
Other pipe material must be complied with ULC-S110 norms or
UL-181 Class1 norms, equipped with thermal resistant isolation
and must be corrosion resistant
The stove must be fix to the structure when an exterior air
intake is installed.
Installation of Air Intake Pipe
1) To install the exterior air intake pipe, find the hole
under the stove back and fold the 3 tabs outside the
Intake box. Insert the pipe into the hole and screw the
pipe using the 3 holes in the tabs. Put a generous
layer of high temperature latex caulking onto the joint
to ensure the pipe is sealed.
2) Cut the exterior wall and install Air Inlet kit following
the manufacturer installation instructions. Be sure to
seal it correctly to preserve the vapour barrier of your
house.
3) Install a small rigid section with a damper onto the
interior end of the Air Inlet (The damper is to reduce
the cold air circulation into the stove when it is not in
service.)
4) Plug the flexible air inlet pipe onto the damper section
and seal it.
5) Put a thermal resistant isolation onto the pipe if the
pipe is not isolated.
Air Inlet Obstruction
If the stove extinguish after closing is door, it’s possible than
the air inlet is obstruct by something.
After a long unused period, insects or animals can build a nest
into the air inlet.
In winter, after a storm, snow can accumulate over the air inlet
and obstruct it.
Before warming season, always inspect air inlet pipe to be sure
nothing is obstructed the outside air inlet.
Exterior inlet with grate

Stainless steel tubes replacement
Although the tubes are in stainless steel. With extreme
temperature and conditions the tubes are eventually corroding
and perforating by normal deterioration. They must be replaced
by a new one to ensure performance of your stove.
Stainless steel tubes Installation
Tree type of tubes is used into the stove. Two of this are a
single holes perforation (1) and are in the back of heat
chamber.
The 3th tube from back have a wider one side perforated (2).
The front heat chamber is covered by the double sided
perforated (3).
