1.Maximum burn times and heat outputs are based on laboratory testing and may vary in individual use depending on how
the insert is operated, type and moisture content of fuel, and other factors. Maximum burn times are achieved under
different operating conditions than are maximum heat outputs. These values are based on operation in building code-
conforming homes under typical winter climate conditions in the 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 and more temperate climate),
these figures may not apply. Since so many variables affect performance, consult your Lexington Forge Authorized
Dealer to determine realistic expectations for your home.

PRE-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE INSTALLATION OFYOURAPPLIANCE
(NOTE: Before installing your appliance be sure to write down the model and serial numbers and keep them in
a safe place. Once installed this information is no longer visible on your appliance.)
1. Check with the building inspector’s office for compliance with local codes; a permit may be required.
2. This appliance requires a masonry or prefabricated chimney listed to ULC S629 (Canada) and UL 103HT (U.S.) sized
correctly.
3. A 6" (152mm) diameter flue is required for proper performance.
4. Always connect this unit to a chimney and NEVER VENT TOANOTHER ROOM OR INSIDE A BUILDING.
5. DO NOT connect this unit to any duct work to which another appliance is connected such as a furnace.
6. DO NOT connect this unit to a chimney flue serving another appliance.
7. The connector pipe and chimney should be inspected periodically and cleaned if nescessary.
8. Remember the clearance distances when you place furniture or other objects within the area. DO NOT store wood,
flammable liquids or other combustible materials too close to the unit. Refer to certification label on back of your
unit for required clearances.
9. Contact your local municipal or provincial fire authority for information on how to handle a chimney fire. Have a
clearly understood plan to handle a chimney fire. In the event of a chimney fire, slide air control to the lowest position
and CALLTHE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
10. DO NOT tamper with combustion air control beyond normal adjustment.
WHY THE CORRECT FLUE SIZE IS IMPORTANT — 6"(152 MM)
Draft is the force, which moves air from the appliance up through the chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney
depends on the length of the chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions, and other factors. Too much draft may
cause excessive temperatures in the appliance. An uncontrolled burn, a glowing red part or chimney connector indicates
excessive draft. Inadequate draft may cause back puffing into the room and “plugging” of the chimney and/or cause the
appliance to leak smoke into the room through appliance and chimney connector joints.
Today’s solid fuel appliances are much more efficient than in the past. The units are designed to give you controlled
combustion, as well as maximum heat transfer, using less fuel to do so. The design of your new appliance is such that the
exhaust “smoke” is now at lower temperatures than in the past, therefore requiring proper chimney size to give adequate
draft. If your chimney is too large, the heating appliance will have a difficult time to raise the “chimney flue” temperature
to give adequate draft, therefore causing a smoke back up, poor burn, or both.
Should you experience such a problem call a local chimney expert.
With the door closed, the rate of burning is regulated by the amount of air allowed to enter the unit through the air control.
With experience you will be able to set the control for heat and burning time desired.
Once the required chimney draft is obtained, operate only with doors closed and open slowly when re-fueling. (This will
reduce or eliminate smoke from entering the room.)
Attempts to achieve higher output rates that exceed heater design specifications can result in permanent damage to the
heater. The recommended wood load is level with the top of the firebricks. Overloading may prevent sufficient air
entering the heater to properly fuel the fire. Important: For optimum heater performance at “low” burn rate, operate the
fan at low speed.
CAUTION
After reading these instructions, if you haveany doubt about your abilityto complete your installation in
a professional like manner, you should obtain the services of an installer versed in all aspects as to the
correct and safe installation. DO NOT use temporary, makeshift compromises during installation.
