Install Guide
2 Getting Started
A . Design and Installation Considerations
Considerationmustbegivento:
 • Safety
 • Convenience
 • Trafcow
 • Chimneyandchimneyconnectorrequired
Itisagoodideatoplanyourinstallationonpaper,usingexact
measurements for clearances and oor protection, before
actuallybeginningtheinstallation.Ifyouarenotusingan
existingchimney,placetheappliancewheretherewillbea
clearpassageforafactory-builtlistedchimneythroughthe
ceiling and roof.
Werecommendthataqualiedbuildinginspectorandyour
insurancecompanyrepresentativereviewyourplansbefore
and after installation.
Ifthisapplianceisinanareawherechildrenmaybenearit
isrecommendedthatyoupurchaseadecorativebarriertogo
in front of the appliance. Remembertoalwayskeepchildren
away while it is operating and do not let anyone operate
this appliance unless they are familiar with these operating
instructions.
B. Fire Safety
To provide reasonable re safety, the following should be
givenseriousconsideration:
1. Install at least one smoke detector on each oor of
your home to ensure your safety.  They should be
located away from the heating appliance and close
to the sleeping areas. Follow the smoke detector
manufacturer’splacementandinstallationinstructions,
andbesuretomaintainregularly.
2. ACOdetectorshouldbeinstalledintheroomwiththe
appliance.
3. A conveniently located ClassA fire extinguisher to
contendwithsmallresresultingfromburningembers.
4. Apracticedevacuationplan,consistingofatleasttwo
escape routes.
5. Aplantodealwithachimneyreasfollows:
 Intheeventofachimneyre:
a Evacuatethehouseimmediately
b. Notifyredepartment
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
WARNING

Mayallowuegasestoenterthehouse.
Checkbuildingcodespriortoinstallation.
• Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and
national codes and regulations.
• Consult insurance carrier, local building, re ofcials or

• Negativepressurecancausespillageofcombus-
tionfumes,sootandcarbonmonoxide.
• Applianceneedstodraftproperlyforsafety.
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.
• Readalltheinstructionsbeforestartingtheinstallation.
Follow these instructions carefully during the

aged parts may impair safe operation.
• DoNOTinstalldamagedcomponents.
• DoNOTinstallincompletecomponents.
• DoNOTinstallsubstitutecomponents.
Report damaged parts to dealer.
Tominimizetheeffectsofnegativeairpressure:
• Installtheoutsideairkitwiththeintakefacingprevailing
winds during the heating season
• Ensureadequateoutdoorairforallcombustionappliances
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

D. Locating Your Appliance & Chimney
Location of the appliance and chimney will affect perfor-
mance. As shown in Figure 9.1thechimneyshould:
 • Installthroughthewarmspaceenclosedbythebuild-
ingenvelope.Thishelpstoproducemoredraft,espe-
ciallyduringlightinganddiedownofthere.
 • Penetratethehighestpartoftheroof.Thisminimizes
theaffectsofwindturbulenceanddowndrafts.
 • Considertheappliancelocationinordertoavoidoor
and ceiling attic joists and rafters.
 • Locate termination cap away from trees, adjacent
structures,unevenrooflinesandotherobstructions.
Yourlocaldealeristheexpertinyourgeographicareaand
canusuallymakesuggestionsordiscoversolutionsthatwill
easilycorrectyourueproblem.
NOTICE:
• Chimneyperformancemayvary.
• Trees,buildings,rooflinesandwindconditionsaffect
performance.
• Chimneyheightmayneedadjustmentifsmokingor
overdraftoccurs.
NOTICE: Locating the appliance in a basement or in a

Thimble
A thimble is a manufactured or site-constructed device
installed in combustible walls through which the chimney

Foroptimal performance, masonrychimneys usedto vent
thisapplianceshouldbe:
1.Linedwitha6inch(152mm)stainlesssteelliner.
 • Installationsintoaclayuewithoutastainlesssteel
liner may reduce draw which affects performance,
causethe glassto darken andproduce excessive
creosote.
2. It is recommended that a chimney with a larger diameter
than6inches(152mm)berelined.
 • Theoversizeduecancausepoorperformanceand
contributetotheaccumulationofcreosote.
3. Havethechimneycleanedbeforetheapplianceisinstalled
and operated.
Thefollowingbulletslistthemorecriticalrequirementsfora
properlyconstructedchimney:
• The masonry wall of the chimney, if brick or modular
block,mustbeaminimumof4inches(102mm)nominal
thickness.
• A chimney of rubble stone must be at least 12 inches
(305mm)thick.
• Thechimneymusthaveareclayueliner(orequivalent)
withaminimumthicknessof5/8inch(16mm)andmust
beinstalledwithrefractorymortar.
• Anequivalentlinermustbealistedchimneylinersystem
orotherapprovedmaterial.
•
Sinceanoversizeduecontributestotheaccumulation
of creosote, the size of the ue should be checked to
determine that it is not too large for the insert.
• Thechimneyshouldalsobecheckedtoensureitmeets
the minimum standard of the National Fire Protection
Association(NFPA)Standard211.
• A chimney support package must be used when a
connectionismadethroughtheceilingtoafactorybuilt
chimney.
• Anapprovedthimbleandchimneysupportpackageare
absolutely necessary to provide safe clearances to
combustiblewalland ceiling material.
