2.6.2 CENTRAL HEATING SYSTEM (NZ62CH)
May be used to heat rooms up to 50 feet from the appliance. A wall mounted thermostat located in the room to be heated
controls the blower supplying warm air from the room containing the appliance. Consult with a heating specialist to ensure
a proper duct layout for your home. If the NZ62CH is installed at the bottom of the appliance, it could introduce a cool draft
into the room that the appliance is installed in. When attached to the top or sides of the appliance, it provides a higher heat
output. This option may not be used in mobile homes.
2.6.3 BLOWER CIRCULATION (NZ64)
The NZ64 provides an ideal means of circulating warm air within the room it resides.
The blower will only operate when the doors are fully closed.
We recommend installing the blower in a different room or even a different level of the
house. This will generate greater air movement and improve the distribution of the
warm air coming from the appliance as well as improving air movement in the summer
months if using the summer by pass switch option.
These options may be incorporated with one another. If the optional blower is to be
installed, make provision during framing to route a 110 volt power line to the appliance.
Detailed installation instructions are included with each venting kit.

3.0 INSTALLATION PLANNING
IMPORTANT
This appliance, fully dressed, weighs 575 lbs. Ensure
there is adequate floor support for the appliance,
chimney and finishing material. Some material could
weigh thousands of pounds.
We recommend that the appliance be secured to the
floor in all cases.
Remove and discard the lifting handles. Bend the tabs
down and secure the appliance to the floor.
The location of windows, doors and the traffic flow
in the room where the appliance is to be located
should be considered. If possible, you should choose
a location where the chimney will pass through the
house without cutting a floor or roof joist.
3.1 APPLIANCE PLACEMENT
DO NOT INSTALL INTO ANYAREA HAVING A HEIGHT LESS THAN 7 FEET (CEILING OF ENCLOSURE TO
APPLIANCE BOTTOM, EXCLUDING HEARTH HEIGHT).
68.3A
!
WARNING
WEAR GLOVES AND SAFETY GLASSES FOR PROTECTION.
CAREFULLY FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR ASSEMBLY OF THE PIPE AND OTHER PARTS
NEEDED TO INSTALL THE APPLIANCE. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN A FIRE, ESPECIALLY IF
COMBUSTIBLES ARE TOO CLOSE TO THE APPLIANCE OR CHIMNEY AND AIR SPACES ARE
BLOCKED, PREVENTING THE FREE MOVEMENT OF COOLING AIR.
DO NOT DRAW OUTSIDE AIR FROM GARAGE SPACES. EXHAUST PRODUCTS OF GASOLINE ENGINES ARE
HAZARDOUS.
DO NOT INSTALL OUTSIDE AIR DUCTS SUCH THAT THE AIR MAY BE DRAWN FROM ATTIC SPACES, BASEMENTS
OR ABOVE THE ROOFING WHERE OTHER HEATING APPLIANCES OR FANS AND CHIMNEYS EXHAUST OR UTILIZE
AIR. THESE PRECAUTIONS WILL REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF APPLIANCE SMOKING OR AIR FLOW REVERSAL.
THE OUTSIDE AIR INLET MUST REMAIN CLEAR OF LEAVES, DEBRIS ICE AND/OR SNOW. IT MUST BE UNRE-
STRICTED WHILE APPLIANCE IS IN USE TO PREVENT ROOM AIR STARVATION WHICH CAN CAUSE SMOKE SPILL-
AGE AND AN INABILITY TO MAINTAIN A FIRE. SMOKE SPILLAGE CAN ALSO SET OFF SMOKE ALARMS.
NEGATIVE PRESSURE WITHIN YOUR HOME MAY INADVERTENTLY AFFECT YOUR APPLIANCE.
TO PREVENT CONTACT WITH SAGGING OR LOOSE INSULATION, THE APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE INSTALLED
AGAINST VAPOUR BARRIERS OR EXPOSED INSULATION. LOCALIZED OVERHEATING COULD OCCUR AND A FIRE
COULD RESULT.
DO NOT USE MAKESHIFT COMPROMISES DURING INSTALLATION. DO NOT BLOCK OR RESTRICT AIR, GRILLE OR
LOUVRE OPENINGS. DO NOT ADD A HOOD.
KEEP HAND TOOLS IN GOOD CONDITION, SHARPEN CUTTING EDGES AND MAKE SURE TOOL HANDLES ARE
SECURE.
ALWAYS MAINTAIN THE MINIMUM AIR SPACE REQUIRED TO THE ENCLOSURE TO PREVENT FIRES.

Model NZ3000 has the option of taking outside air
directly into the appliance through the opening on the
left hand side or taking inside air through the lower
front grille or a combination of both. For inside air
push in the control slider.
If the optional outside air kit (available through your
authorized dealer) is installed, it must not draw air
from the attic or garage. For outside air pull out the
air control slider. It may only come from outside the
house. The maximum length of the 4" air duct is 20
feet; for greater lengths enlarge the duct to a 6" diam-
eter.
Decide on the most convenient location for the out-
side air inlet duct and hood which may be installed
above or below floor level but must be installed above
grade level.
Make a 5" hole in an outside wall of the
house. From outside, place the outside
air hood into the hole, open side down.
At each end, carefully pull back the
insulation sleeve exposing the flexible
duct. Apply sealant to both the outside
air hood collar and the connector collar
at the appliance. Place the insulated
flexible duct over the outside air hood
and over the appliance outside air con-
nector. Carefully push the insulation
sleeve back over the duct.
Using the clamps, fasten the insulated
duct into place on both sides.
Cold air flow can be minimized by put-
ting a dip or loop in the duct creating
a cold air trap. This trap can also help
prevent heat build-up and exhausting
out the intake due to stack effect. The
outside air kit inlet should be positioned
in a manner that will not allow snow,
leaves, etc. to block the inlet. In some
installations the air duct may need to be
run vertically.
NOTE: Appliance must be set for inside air if
outside air is not connected.

An acceptable 54" x 20" non-combustible (i.e. brick, stone or ceramic tile)
hearth extension must be installed.
The hearth must extend a minimum 20" in front of the appliance
although if raised a minimum of 6 1/2" the 20" may be reduced to a
minimum of 18".
The hearth must extend a minimum of 6" to both sides of the
appliance (54").
The hearth must be a minimum of 1" thick cement board (or
equivalent) plus ¼" ceramic tile.
Ensure that the gap between the appliance and a non-combustible
hearth extension is sealed with sand/cement grout or covered with
an ember strip (or both) to prevent sparks and embers from falling
into this area.
Raised hearths must be constructed of non-combustible materials such as cement blocks or bricks.
While the appliance can be installed directly on the floor, a non-combustible hearth extension is required in
front of the appliance, that must not be built higher than the bottom of the appliance faceplate. It may therefore
be advisable to build the appliance on a raised platform.
A raised hearth together with the appliance built on a raised platform is recommended for easier wood loading and
fire viewing.
EMBER STRIP
(See “HEARTH
EXAMPLES” Section)
HEARTH EXTENSIONS ARE TO BE INSTALLED ONLY AS DESCRIBED TO PREVENT HIGH
TEMPERATURES FROM OCCURRING ON CONCEALED COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. HEARTH
EMBER STRIPS PREVENT BURNING OR HOT PARTICLES FROM INADVERTENTLY FALLING
DIRECTLY ON COMBUSTIBLE SURFACES IN THE EVENT THE BUILDING SHOULD SETTLE AND
DISTURB THE ORIGINAL CONSTRUCTION.

* The first flue offset closest to the top of the appliance must be a minimum distance of 12” from the
top of the appliance.
1. Move the appliance into position. Try to center the exhaust flue of the appliance,
midpoint between two joists to prevent having to cut them. Use a plumb bob to
line up the centre.
2. Cut and frame an opening in the ceiling to provide a
minimum clearance of 2” between the outside of the
chimney and any combustible material. DO NOT FILL
THIS SPACE WITH ANY TYPE OF MATERIAL! Nail
headers between the joists for extra support. Firestop
spacers must be placed on each framed opening in
any floor or ceiling that the chimney passes through.
3. Hold a plumb bob from the underside of the roof
to determine where the opening in the roof should
be. Cut and frame the roof opening maintaining
proper 2” clearances.

dd chimney sections, securely, to the required height.
If the chimney system is enclosed within the attic area, a rafter
radiation shield is required.
The chimney must extend at least 3 feet above its point of
contact with the roof and at least 2 feet higher than any wall,
roof or building within 10 feet.
If the chimney extends more than 5 feet above the roof, it must
be secured using a roof brace or guide wires.
A
raincap must be installed to avoid internal damage and
corrosion.

The first flue offset closest to the top of the unit must
be a minimum distance of 12" from the top of the
appliance.
Attach an elbow to the chimney section, angled toward
the offset. Secure with 3 sheet metal screws.
To achieve the minimum offset, attach and secure a
second elbow. To achieve longer offsets, you may
install any available length of chimney pipe between
the elbows. Supports must be used on the first vertical
chimney section after a
return elbow.
!
WARNING
CHIMNEY SECTIONS INSTALLED BETWEEN AN OFFSET AND RETURN REQUIRE STRUCTURAL
SUPPORT TO REDUCE OFF-CENTER LOADING AND TO PREVENT CHIMNEY SECTIONS FROM
SEPARATING AT THE CHIMNEY JOISTS.
THE CHIMNEY SHOULD NOT BE BUILT WITH AN OFFSET ANGLE IN EXCESS OF 45° IN CANADA AND
30° IN USA. DO NOT COMBINE OFFSET CHIMNEY COMPONENTS TO EXCEED THESE ANGLES.

The appliance may be connected
to either a lined or unlined masonry
chimney.
IF THE CHIMNEY IS LINED:
The flues must be made of vitrified
clay and be in sizes of 8” square or
8” round (inside diameters) or
8”x12” with a minimum height of 15
feet above the appliance.
Eight inch round flues are
recommended.
Installation must conform to
both national and local code
requirements.
IF THE CHIMNEY IS UNLINED:
A
stainless steel liner listed to
either Standard ULC-S640M in Canada or UL-1777 in the USA,
must be used: Liners for New Masonry Chimneys, may be
used to connect the appliance to the chimney. The liner must
be continuous from the appliance to the chimney cap and be
installed only per manufacturers instructions.
In both cases, the chimney structure must be supported by angle
iron anchored into the masonry walls. The allowable masonry
used in chimney construction is 3-1/2” brick, solidly mortared and
must fully encase the flue. Ensure there are no leaks.
In no case is the masonry enclosure to be supported by the
appliance. Allow a 1” (one inch) air cavity for expansion. Use the flue tile support accessory, see your local
authorized dealer / distributor.
NOTE: The flue tile support is to be suspended on appropriate lintels. 62.4B

Remove the nails from the shingles above and to the sides of
the chimney. Place the flashing over the chimney pipe and slide
underneath the sides and upper edge of the shingles. Ensure that the
chimney pipe is properly centered within the flashing, giving a 3/4”
margin all around. Fasten to the roof on the top and sides. DO NOT
NAIL through the lower portion of the flashing. Make weather-tight
by sealing with caulking. Where possible, cover the sides and top
edges of the flashing with roofing material. Apply waterproof caulking,
provided with the flashing, around the chimney, 1” above the top of
the flashing and push the storm collar down into the caulking. Insert a
rain cap onto the top of the last chimney section.

IN ORDER TO AVOID THE POSSIBILITY OF EXPOSED INSULATION OR VAPOUR BARRIER COMING
IN CONTACT WITH THE APPLIANCE BODY, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE WALLS OF THE
APPLIANCE ENCLOSURE BE “FINISHED” (I.E.: DRYWALL / SHEETROCK), AS YOU WOULD FINISH
ANY OTHER OUTSIDE WALL OF A HOME. THIS WILL ENSURE THAT CLEARANCE TO
COMBUSTIBLES IS MAINTAINED WITHIN THE CAVITY.
A MINIMUM OF 6 INCHES TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS IS REQUIRED TO BOTH SIDES OF THE
APPLIANCE, SEE "MINIMUM CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES" SECTION.
