About curing of the paint
Your stove or fireplace has been painted with the highest quality silicone stove paint. This paint dries
quickly in 15-20 minutes when first applied at the factory. However, due to the high temperature
silicone components, the paint will cure when heat is applied to the appliance as it is first used.
The following information applies to the curing process to get the paint fully hard and durable.
Fire the appliance four successive times for 10 minutes each firing and a 5 minute cool down between
each. Be aware during log and firebox paint curing that a white deposit may be developing on the inside
of the glass doors. It is important to remove this white deposit from the glass doors with an appropriate
cleaner to prevent build-up (such as Windex or a commercial fireplace glass cleaner).
• Babies, small children, pregnant women and pets should leave the area during the cure phase.
• Ventilate well, open doors and windows.
• Do not touch during curing.
Why does my fireplace or stove give off odour?
It is normal for your fireplace to give off some odour. This is due to the curing of the paint, adhesives,
silicones and any undetected oil from the manufacturing process as well as the finishing materials used
with the installations (e.g. marble, tile and the adhesives used to adhere this product to the walls can
react with heat and cause odours).
It is recommended that you burn your gas fireplace or stove for a minimum of four hours at a time with
the fan off after the curing of the paint has been completed. These odours can last upward to 40 hours
of burn time, keep burning at a minimum of four hours per use until odours dissipate.
Noise coming from the fireplace?
• Noise caused by metal expanding and contracting as it heats up and cools down, similar to the
sound produced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect the operation or longevity
of your fireplace.

SIMPSON DURAVENT, AMERIVENT OR SELKIRK DIRECT TEMP
When using Simpson Duravent, AmeriVent pipe or Selkirk Direct Temp a Duravent hardpipe adapter must be used
(ZDVDKA). Follow installation instructions provided by Simpson Duravent/AmeriVent/Selkirk Direct Temp for
installation of pipe and adhere to the clearance to combustibles provided in this manual. Apply a bead of Mill Pac high
temp sealant to all joints of pipes, adapters and termination, when using Kingsman venting and Simpson Duravent venting.
Minimum clearances on venting (4" to top of elbow), (2-1/2" from top of horizontal pipes), (1" on all other existing
pipes). REMEMBER THAT A 1/4" VERTICAL RISE IS REQUIRED FOR EVERY 12" OF HORIZONTAL
RUN.
Venting terminal shall not be recessed into a wall or siding. If finishing the outside wall with vinyl or wood siding it is
recommended that a Siding Shield be installed, Part Number ZDVSSLR.
VENTING ROUTES AND COMPONENTS
Since it is very important that the vent system maintain its balance between the
combustion air intake and the flue gas exhaust, certain limitations as to vent
configurations apply and must be adhered to.
WARNING: DO NOT mix
parts from different systems
unless stated in the manual.

IMPORTANT: ALWAYS LOCATE THE STOVE IN SUCH A WAY AS TO MINIMIZE THE
NUMBER OF OFFSETS AND/OR HORIZONTAL RUNS. A 1/4” VERTICAL RISE IS
REQUIRED FOR EVERY 12” OF HORIZONTAL RUN.
The following table shows the relationship between vertical and horizontal vent lengths and will help you to
determine the correct vent lengths for optimum stove performance.

1. Determine the location of vent termination on wall assuring clearances are maintained as listed in the Vent
Termination Location Chart.
2. Once location has been determined, cut or frame a hole in the exterior wall with a minimum 8 1/2" diameter in
non-combustible wall or frame 11" x 11" ID in combustible wall. (See Figure 2)
3. Install zero clearance wall sleeve to inner and outer wall being sure to use caulking around the wall thimble to
weatherproof.
Note: The Zero Clearance Wall Sleeve and vent termination must not be recessed into the exterior wall or
siding.
Before joining the four inch flex pipe to stove or vent termination apply a bead of high temperature sealant (MIL
PAC SEALANT IS RECOMMENDED) to the pipe and secure it with the (4) screws. If two pieces of 4" flex pipe
are to be joined, the joint must be siliconed and secured with screws.
Before joining 7" pipe to elbows, stove and vent termination apply a bead of high temperature silicone to crimped
end of elbow or pipe. Join pipes and secure with three (3) sheet metal screws.
The maximum number of 4" flexible pipe connections permitted is two (2) excluding the stove and air terminal
connections although a maximum of one is the most which is recommended.

It is critical to the proper and safe operation of this stove that all connections are both
caulked with liberal amounts of sealant and secured with clamps or screws.
Do not use any kind of tape or silicone other than that recommended in this manual.

4. If optional fan kit has been purchased it should now be installed before stove is placed in its final position.
5. Place stove into position. Determine the lengths of the vertical and horizontal 7" pipes. Cut the 7" pipes to the
correct length assuring that the following conditions have been met:
(i) The horizontal 7" pipe should not extend past the outer portion of zero
clearance wall sleeve.
(ii) There must be a 1/4" rise per foot on horizontal pipe.
(iii) A clearance to combustibles of 2-1/2" must be maintained on the top of
horizontal pipes.
(iv) The clearance to combustibles above the elbow must be 4 inches.
(v) Clearance of one inch on all other pipes.
Before joining 90° elbow and pipes, apply a bead of high temperature sealant (Mil Pac) to crimped end of elbow
or pipe. Join pipes to 90° elbow and secure joints with three (3) sheet metal screws, pipe should overlap on
connection of each pipe by 1-1/2".
6. Feed the 4" flex pipe through the 7" pipes. If the 4" flex pipe has been expanded do not try to depress it as this
can obstruct air flow and affect the performance of the unit. The only time this may be unavoidable is when
installing the vent terminal.
Note: Do not remove or move spacer springs attached to 4" inner flex pipe, these must be used to assure
an 1-1/4 " air gap between 4" and 7" pipes. Minimum distance between spacer springs should be 2 FT, a
90 degree elbow requires a spring at the start of the elbow and the end of the elbow.
7. Position 7" pipes with 4" flex pipes installed into final position being sure to install decorative trim plate and
trim ring. Attach 4" flexible pipe to stove with 1/4" bead of sealant and secure with (4) screws. Attach 7" pipe
to stove with sealant and screws.
8. Expand the 4" flex pipe three inches past the 7" rigid pipe at the vent terminal, just enough to allow for the
sealant and securing with (4) screws to the 4" pipe to the terminal. Attach the vent terminal to 4" flex pipe with
(4) screws. Apply sealant to 7" pipe on terminal and gently push the vent terminal into the horizontal section as
straight as possible. Attach the terminal to the exterior wall with screws provided. Apply caulking between the
terminal and the wall to prevent rain and moisture from entering around the terminal.
9. Support horizontal pipes every three (3) feet (91 cm) with metal pipe straps.
10. Install decorative trim bands at the 7" pipe joints.
