Design Considerations
When selecting a chimney type and the location for
the chimney in the house, keep this in mind: It is the
chimney that makes the stove work - not the stove that
makes the chimney work. is is because a chimney
actually creates a suction, called “dra” which pulls air
through the stove.
Several factors aect dra: chimney height, cross-
sectional area (size), and temperature of the chimney,
as well as the proximity of surrounding trees or
buildings.
A short exterior masonry chimney will give the
poorest performance because it will be dicult to
warm the ue and sustain the temperatures necessary
to maintain dra strength. In extremely cold climates,
it may be necessary to reline the chimney or extend the
height to help establish dra.
A tall, interior masonry chimney is easier to keep
warm and will perform the best under a variety of
weather and environmental conditions.
e following guidelines give the necessary chimney
requirements based on the national code (ANSI-NFPA
211 for the US. And CSA CAN-B365 for Canada).
However, many local codes dier from the national
code to take into account climate, altitude, or other
factors. Your local building inspector is the nal
approving authority.
Masonry Chimneys
Follow these guidelines when installing the stove into a
masonry stove:
• e masonry chimney must have a reclay liner or
equivalent, with a minimum thickness of 5/8” (14
mm) and must be installed with refractory mortar.
ere must be at least 1/2” (12.7 mm) air space
between the ue liner and chimney wall.
• e reclay ue liner must have a nominal size of
8” X 8” (20 cm x 20 cm), and should not be larger
than 8”X 12” (20 cm x 30 cm). A round reclay
liner must have a minimum inside diameter of 6”
(15 cm) and maximum inside diameter of 8” (20
cm). A larger chimney should be relined with an
appropriate code approved liner.
• Brick or modular block must be a minimum of 4”
(10 cm) nominal thickness. Stone construction
must be at least 12” (30 cm) thick.
• A newly-built chimney must conform to local
codes, or, in their absence, must comply with na-
tional regulations.
• An existing chimney must be inspected by a pro-
fessional, licensed chimney sweep, re ocial, or
code ocer to ensure that the chimney is in proper
working order. Any repairs must be completed
before installing the stove.
• No other appliance may be vented into the same
ue.
• An airtight clean-out door should be located at the
base of the chimney.
Chimney Height
• e chimney must be at least 15 feet high (4.57
m). e chimney must also be at least 3 feet (92
cm) higher than the highest point where it passes
through the roof and at least 2 feet (61 cm) higher
than the highest part of the roof or structure that is
within 10 feet (3.05 m) of the chimney, measured
horizontally. See Fig 2.
• Chimneys shorter than 15 feet may not provide ad-
equate dra. Inadequate dra can result in smoke
spillage when loading the stove, or when the door
is open. Poor dra can also cause back pung (ig-
nition of gas build-up inside the rebox) and slug-
gish performance. e minimum height does not,
in itself, guarantee proper chimney performance.
Optimum dra force should be in the .05 - .10 in.
w.c. range measured by a Magnehelic gauge. Dra
at .07 w.c. is ideal.
• Excessive chimney height can promote over-strong
dra resulting in high stove temperatures and short
burn times. Excessive dra can be corrected by in-
stalling a buttery damper. Your dealer is an expert
resource to consult regarding dra issues or other
performance-related questions.

INSTALLATION
NORSK KLEBER REQUIRES ALL INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY OF THIS STOVE TO
BE PERFORMED BY TRAINED PROFESSIONALS.
Chimney Requirements
ere are two types of approved chimneys:
1. A code-approved masonry chimney with a ceramic
tile or Listed steel ue liner.
2. A prefabricated chimney complying with the
requirements for Type HT (2100°F) chimneys per
UL 103 HT or ULC S629 HT.
Chimney Flue Sizing
• e chimney size should not be less than the cross-
sectional area of the ue collar, and not more than
three times greater than the cross-sectional area of
the ue collar.
• If the chimney ue is outdoors, its cross-sectional
area may not exceed two times greater than the
stove ue collar.
• A chimney ue having no walls exposed to the
outside below the roof-line may be no larger than
three-times the cross-sectional area of the stove
ue collar.

8
Chimney Connector Requirements
Use 6” single wall or Listed 6” double-wall stovepipe to
connect the stove to the chimney. Single wall stovepipe
must be black steel or stainless steel and have a mini-
mum thickness of 24 gauge.
Do not use aluminum or galvanized steel pipe for
chimney connection - these materials are not suitable
for use with solid fuel.
Follow these guidelines:
• Do not use chimney connector as a chimney. It is
intended only as a connection device.
• Each connector section must be oriented with the
male (crimped) end pointing toward the stove. See
Fig 3.
• Secure all connector joints with three sheet metal
screws. Use four self-tapping sheet metal screws at
the connection to the stove ue collar adaptor.
• For the best performance, the chimney connector
should be as short and direct as possible, including
no more than two 90° elbows.
• e maximum vertical run of single wall stovepipe
should not exceed 10 . (305 cm).
Fig 2. Chimney height requirements.
• e maximum horizontal run should not exceed
3 . (92 cm) with a 1/4” rise per foot. Under no
circumstance should horizontal pipe be allowed to
slant down toward the chimney.
• No part of the chimney connector may pass
through an attic or roof space, closet or other con-
cealed space, or through a oor or ceiling.
• All sections of the chimney connectors must be
accessible for cleaning. Where passage through a
wall or partition of combustible construction is
desired, the installation must conform with NFPA
211 or CAN/ CSA-B365, and is also addressed in
this manual.
• Do not connect this stove to a chimney ue serving
another heating appliance.

Connecting to the Chimney
Masonry Chimney
When installing a Stove into a masonry chimney
through a “thimble” (the opening through the chimney
wall to the ue), the thimble must consist of ceramic
tile or steel and be securely cemented in place.
e chimney connector/stove pipe must slide com-
pletely inside the thimble to the inner surface or the
ue liner. It may be necessary to make use of a thimble
sleeve (a pipe with a slightly smaller diameter than
standard stove pipe). See Fig 4.
e connector pipe or thimble sleeve must not pro-
trude into the ue liner or otherwise restrict dra.
Use refractory cement to seal the seam between the
chimney connector, sleeve, and thimble.
Do not connect this stove to a chimney ue servicing
another appliance of any kind.
Connector pipe must
be ush with the
inside of the ue tile

Prefabricated Chimneys
When connecting the Kube to a prefabricated metal
chimney always follow the pipe manufacturer’s in-
structions and be sure to use the components that are
required. is usually includes a “smoke pipe adapter”
that is secured to the bottom section of the metal
chimney and allows the chimney pipe to be secured to
it with two sheet metal screws. See Fig 5.
Note: In addition to the methods
described here, any listed, prefabricated
wall pass-through components available

In the U.S.
e National Fire Protection Association’s publication,
NFPA 211, Standard for Chimneys, Stoves, Vents and
Solid Fuel Burning Appliances permits four methods
for passing through a combustible wall. Before
proceeding with any method be sure to consult with
your local building ocials to discuss any local code
requirements.
Common Method:
See Fig 6. Remove all combustible materials from the
pass-through area (around the chimney connector),
a minimum 12” (30.5 cm). A 6” (15.2 cm) diameter
connector will require a 31 1/4” x 31 1/4” (79.4 x 79.4
cm) square opening.
e opening must be lled with at least 12” (30.5
cm) of brick around a reclay liner. e liner must
be ASTM C35 or equivalent, having a minimum wall
thickness of 5/8” (16 mm).
e Pass-through must be at least 18” (45.7 cm) from
combustible ceiling materials.
It will be necessary to cut wall studs, install headers,
and construct a sill frame to maintain the proper
dimensions and to support the weight of the brick.
e bricks must be solid brick with a minimum of 3
inches thick (nominal 4”/ 102 mm).
Refractory mortar must be used at the junction of the
chimney and the pass-through liner. e pass-through
liner must not penetrate the chimney liner beyond the
inner surface of the chimney liner. Use extreme care
when constructing the hole in the chimney liner as the
tiles can shatter easily.
Consult your local building inspector, authorized
Norsk Kleber Dealer, NFPA 211 in the U.S. or
CAN/CSA-B635 in Canada for other approved
wall pass-through methods.
In Canada
e installation must conform to CAN/CSA-B365,
Installation Code for Solid Fuel Burning Appliances
and Equipment. Before proceeding be sure to consult
your local building inspector.
Common Method:
is method requires the removal of all combustible
materials from at least 18” (45.7 cm) around the
chimney connector’s proposed location. A 6” round
liner requires a minimum opening 43 1/4” x 43 1/4”
(109.8 x 109.8 wcm) square.
Locate the pass-through at least 18” from combustible
ceiling materials. e space that is cleared of
combustible materials must remain empty. Sheet metal
panels can be used to cover the area. However, when
using a panel on both sides of the wall, each cover
must be installed on noncombustible spacers at least 1”
from the wall. If one panel of sheet metal is to be used
it may be installed ush to the wall.
See section 5.3.1 and 5.3.2 of CAN/CSA - B365-M91.

Floor Protection
Any oor that is not composed of concrete poured
on earth requires protection from sparks and embers.
e Kube is approved for installation using one of the
following forms of hearth protection:
1. Any UL, ULC, or Warnock Hersey Listed Type 1
hearth board.
2. Any noncombustible material.
In the U.S. oor protection must extend continuously
forward from the door opening at least 16 in. and 8 in.
from the sides of the door opening. Protection must
also extend 2 in. under the chimney connector. is
will result in a minimum oor protector 35 3/4” wide x
36 1/2” deep. See Fig 7.
In Canada, oor protection must extend continuously
18” from the front of the stove and 8 in. (460 mm)
from the sides and rear. It must also extend 2 in.
(51 mm) to both sides under a horizontal chimney
connector section. is results in a oor protector 35
in. x 45 in. (89 cm x 114 cm). See Fig. 7.
Clearance to Combustible Materials
e clearances listed and diagramed in this manual
have been tested to UL and ULC standards and are
the minimum clearances to combustible materials
specically established for the Norsk Kleber +models.
A combustible surface is anything that can burn
(i.e. sheet rock, wall paper, wood, fabrics etc.). Any
combustible material must be kept 36” (914 mm) away
from the stove load door and at least 18” (457 mm)
from the sides.
Combustible materials are not limited to those that
are visible and also include materials that are behind
noncombustible materials. “Fire Resistant” or ”Fire-
rated” materials are considered combustible; they are
dicult to ignite, but will burn.
Consult your local re ocials if you are unsure of the
combustible nature of any material.
Clearance to Walls & Ceilings
See the table in Fig. 8 for specic wall clearance
requirements using either single or listed double-wall
connectors.
Minimum Ceiling Height: 72” / 183 cm
e Kube is approved for use with Listed double wall
pipe installed to conform to the clearances in
Fig. 8a.
Wall-Mounted Protection: When reducing clearances
through the use of wall-mounted protection:
For the U.S., refer to NFPA 211, Standard for
Chimneys, Stoves, Vents and Solid Fuel Burning
Appliances, for acceptable materials, proper sizing and
construction guidelines.
For Canada, refer to CAN/CSA-B365, Installation
Code for Solid-Fuel Burning Appliances and
Equipment, also for acceptable materials, proper sizing
and construction guidelines.
Notice: Many manufacturers have developed
woodburning stove accessories that permit clearance
reduction. Use only those accessories that have been
tested by an independent laboratory and carry that
laboratory’s testing mark. Be sure to follow all of the
manufacturer’s instructions.

IMPORTANT
Before beginning assembling the stove, you must determine where the stove will be located.
e stove must be located a safe distance from combustible materials including walls. Note that stoves
with side glass require increased distance to walls as shown in (Fig. 2) whereas, stoves with no side glass
require less distance. See (Fig. 2).

Floor Protection
Any oor that is not composed of concrete poured on earth requires protection from sparks and embers. e
Kube is approved for installation using one of the following forms of hearth protection:
Any UL, ULC, or Warnock Hersey Listed Type 1 hearth board.
Any noncombustible material.
In the U.S. oor protection must extend continuously forward from the door opening at least 16 in. and 8 in.
from the sides of the door opening. Protection must also extend 2 in. under the chimney connector. is will
result in a minimum oor protector 35 3/4” wide x 36 1/2” deep. See Fig 3.
In Canada, oor protection must extend continuously 18” from the front of the stove and 8 in. (460 mm) from
the sides and rear. It must also extend 2 in. (51 mm) to both sides under a horizontal chimney connector sec-
tion. is results in a oor protector 35 3/4 in. x 43 3/4 in. (85 cm x 111 cm). See Fig. 3.

1. Lay the base plate into place (similar to
the top plate but without the glued-on felt
mat). e plate must be lined up so that it
is level, and with the correct distance to the
masonry and any ammable materials. See
page 2 & 3.
2. Connect together the 2-part .6” steel ring
(these will be the thinnest 2-part rings)
and center them on the base plate.
3. Place the side stones unto the steel ring,
making sure the stone drops into place.
Be careful not to chip the stones while
placing them onto the steel ring assembly.
Do the same with the front stone and the
rear stone. Note: the hole in the rear stone
should be closest to the bottom.
4. Assemble the 2-part 1.2” steel ring. Place
the ring assembly into the groove on the
top of the stones that you just placed. Insert
the (4) thin metal strips down into the
vertical slots between the stones.
Step 2

Assembling section 2
(4 or 5 section stove)
1. Set in place (2) side stones, with the recess for
the side window facing upwards.
2. Place the front and rear stones, with the widest
groove facing down.
3. Place the 1.2 “steel ring assemby with the recess
facing upwards and to the front.
4. Insert the (4) thin metal strips down into the
vertical slots between the stones.

Step 3
Step 4
1. Position the (2) re-plate support blocks as shown
in Fig. 3. ey must rest against the side stones
and the rear stones. (You may nd it useful to use a
clamp to hold the support blocks in place until the
re-plate is set in place.
1. Place the door on the front stone
so that the frame is just at the
front of the steel ring assembly.
(You will need assistance to hold
the door because the door will tip
backwards). Fig. 4
2. Tilt the door forward a little and
slide the re-plate into position.
e plate must be positioned
against the back wall with the
recess facing towards the back.

Sealing joints and seams with silicone re sealant
For best stove performance, we recommend that all the interior joints, except the Skamol
assembly, be sealed with the Silicone Fire Sealant that is included with the stove.
Only the burn
chamber and the
sections above it
should be sealed.
As the re chamber section and each section above it (Fig. 1) are assembled, the inside seams
and joints should be sealed with the Silicone Fire Sealant, before assembling the next section.
Do Not seal the joints or seams on the Skamol assembly.
Fig. 1
Begin by sealing the vertical and horizontal
seams for the burn chamber.
Aer applying the
silicone sealant to
joints and seams,
smooth it out with
your nger (a
protective glove is
provided with the
silicone sealant so
that you don’t get
sealant on your
bare hands).
A
B C Seal the seams that will be
beneath the smoke plates
before placing the smoke
plates into position.en
aer placing the smoke
direction plate, seal the
horizontal joints.
Smooth out the sealant
with your nger.
Apply sealant
to all horizontal
joints.
Apply sealant to all
vertical joints.
Do Not apply sealant to
the stove’s exterior joints
or seams.
