Install Guide
2 Getting Started
A . Design and Installation Considerations
Before installing, determine the following:
• Type of chimney connector to be used
· single wall, 6 inch (152mm) diameter, stainless steel, or
· double wall, 6 inch (152mm) diameter, stainless steel
• Consult page 28 for clearances to combustibles
• Power outlet located close by for optional blower
B. Draft
Draft is the pressure difference needed to vent appliances
successfully. When a appliance is drafting successfully, all
combustion byproducts are exiting the home through the
chimney.
Considerations for successful draft include:
• Preventing negative pressure
• Location of appliance and chimney
T o be sure that your appliance burns properly:
• Duringalowburn,the chimney draft (static pressure) should
be approximately -.04 inch water column (W.C.)
• Duringahighburnthechimneydraftshould beapproximately
-.10 inch (W.C.)
• Measure the W.C at 6 inches (152mm) above the top of the
appliance after one hour of operation at each burn setting.
Check building codes prior to installation.
• Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and
national codes and regulations.
• Consult insurance carrier, local building, fire officials or
authorities having jurisdiction about restrictions, installation
inspection, and permits.
CAUTION
WARNING
Asphyxiation Risk.
• DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY
FLUE SERVICING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
• DO NOT CONNECT TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION
DUCT OR SYSTEM.
May allow flue gases to enter the house.
• Installation and use of any damaged appliance.
• Modification of the appliance.
• Installation other than as instructed by Hearth & Home
Technologies.
• Installation and/or use of any component part not approved
by Hearth & Home Technologies.
• Operatingappliancewithoutfullyassembling allcomponents.
• Operating appliance without legs attached (if supplied with
unit).
• Do NOT Overfire - If appliance or chimney connector glows,
you are overfiring.
Any such action that may cause a fire hazard.
WARNING
Fire Risk.
Hearth & Home Technologies disclaims any
responsibility for, and the warranty will be
voided by, the following actions:
NOTICE: Hearth & Home Technologies assumes no
responsibility for the improper performance of the
appliance system caused by:
• Inadequate draft due to environmental conditions
• Downdrafts
• Tight sealing construction of the structure
• Mechanical exhausting devices
• Overdrafting caused by excessive chimney heights
• Ideal performance is with height of chimney between
14-16 feet (4.26-4.88m) measured from the base of
the appliance.

C. Negative Pressure
Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air avail-
able for the appliance to operate properly. It can be stron-
gest in lower levels of the house.
Causes include:
• Exhaust fans (kitchen, bath, etc.)
• Range hoods
• Combustion air requirements for furnaces, water heaters
and other combustion appliances
• Clothes dryers
• Location of return-air vents to furnace or air conditioning
• Imbalances of the HVAC air handling system
• Upper level air leaks such as:
- Recessed lighting
- Attic hatch
- Duct leaks
To minimize the effects of negative air pressure:
• Install the outside air kit with the intake facing prevailing
winds during the heating season
• Ensureadequateoutdoorairforallcombustionappliances
and exhaust equipment
• Ensure furnace and air conditioning return vents are not
located in the immediate vicinity of the appliance
• Avoid installing the appliance near doors, walkways or
small isolated spaces
• Recessed lighting should be a “sealed can” design
• Attic hatches weather stripped or sealed
• Attic mounted duct work and air handler joints and seams
taped or sealed
• Basement installations should be avoided
D. Tools And Supplies Needed
Before beginning the installation be sure the following tools
and building supplies are available:
Reciprocating saw Framing material
Pliers High temp caulking material
Hammer Gloves
Phillips screwdriver Framing square
Flat blade screwdriver Electric drill and bits
Plumb line Safety glasses
Level Tape measure
Misc. screws and nails
1/2-3/4 in. length, #6 or #8 self-drilling screws
E. Inspect Appliance and Components
• Remove appliance and components from packaging and
inspect for damage.
• Vent system components and doors are shipped in
separate packages.
• Report to your dealer any parts damaged in shipment.
• Readalltheinstructionsbeforestartingtheinstallation.
Follow these instructions carefully during the
installation to ensure maximum safety and benefit.
Inspect appliance and components for damage.
Damaged parts may impair safe operation.
WARNING
• Do NOT install damaged components.
• Do NOT install incomplete components.
• Do NOT install substitute components.
Report damaged parts to dealer.
Fire Risk.
WARNING
• Negative pressure can cause spillage of combus-
tion fumes, soot and carbon monoxide.
• Appliance needs to draft properly for safety.
