• Before beginning your installation, consult with your local building code agency or fire officials and
insurance representative to ensure compliance.
• Non-toxic smoke will be emitted during the paint curing process, to help dissipate the smoke open a
window near the appliance.
• Remove any dust or debris off the top of the appliance before firing the appliance as the paint will be-
come soft as the appliance heats up and will harden as the appliance cures. To cure the paint on your
appliance burn your appliance moderately hot during the first few fires.
• To keep the gasket from sticking to the appliance as the paint is curing, periodically open the door
every 5-10 minutes.
• For the first two weeks use generous amounts of fuel and burn the appliance with the damper wide
open for an hour as the appliance goes through a process of eliminating moisture in the steel and fire-
bricks. The initial heat output will be reduced while the moisture is being drawn from the appliance and
it will be necessary to build several hot fires to remove this moisture. DURING THIS PROCESS DO
NOT OVERFIRE THE APPLIANCE. REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF AIR COMING INTO THE APPLI-
ANCE IF THE APPLIANCE OR CHIMNEY BECOMES RED.
Your appliance has been specifically designed over many months of research to meet the 1990 U.S.A. EPA particu-
late emission standards and have been extensively tested in Canadian and American laboratories. This system is
the most efficient, simple and trouble free we know and works as follows:
The chimney vent system used on your wood burning appliance should be designed with the least amount of
restriction possible to enable the exhaust products to easily flow through it. Chimney vent systems that are too
short or too long can also have an adverse affect on the flow of exhaust through it. The wood burning appliance
and chimney vent system also require a sufficient supply of combustion air not only to support the combustion in the
combustion chamber but to replace the exhaust leaving it so it can flow freely up through the vent system and out
into the atmosphere. It is the correct balance of combustion air and the chimney vent system that will ensure the
appliance provides you with its optimum performance.
Combustion air enters through two holes in the bottom
which can be adjusted by a single air control. Air from
the front hole goes up on either side of the door into a
preheating airwash located across the top and then down
the window to feed the fire and also to ensure that the
glass remains clean. Air from this hole also feeds directly
into the combustion chamber at hearth level. Secondary
air from the rear hole travels up the back in the secondary
air housing to the manifold located at the top and shoots
out laterally to oxidize the gases below the smoke exit.
The combustion chamber is lined with high temperature
firebrick on 2 sides, the back and across the bottom, with
a layer of fibre baffles at the top to maintain a high tem-
perature in the combustion chamber so that gases mixing
with the preheated air from the secondary air manifold
tube are easily ignited and burned. The stove sides and
back are shielded to direct the heat upwards and for-
wards into the room.
Be sure to provide sufficient combustion air. There are many other appliances in your home competing for air such
as: a kitchen range hood, forced air heating devices or a bathroom exhaust fan.

be installed and serviced by professionals who are
certified in the U.S. by the National Fireplace
Institue® (NFI) as NFI Woodburning Specialists or
who are certified in Canada by
Wood Energy Technical
Training (WETT).
Expansion / contraction noises during heating up and cooling down cycles are normal and to be expected.
After extended periods of non-operation such as following a vacation or a warm weather season, the appliance may
emit a slight odour for a few hours. This is caused by dust particles on the firebox burning off. Open a window to suf-
ficiently ventilate the room.
CALIFORNIA PROP 65 WARNING:
Use of this product may produce smoke which contains chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other
reproductive harm.
If optional ash drawer is purchased, ensure that the ash dump door is
tightly closed, allow the door to snap shut dislodging anything (ashes or
pieces of coal) that may be stuck in the opening.
If outside air is utilized, you should never experience a shortage of combustion air. If you choose not to utilize out-
side air and experience draft or smoking problems, you may need to open a door, a window or otherwise provide
some method of supplying combustion air to the appliance.

kit available at your authorized dealer / distributor.
The following are signs that a fresh air kit may be required:
11 ¹¹/16”
13 ³/8”
• When there is combustion present: Wood burns poorly, smoke spills, back-draft takes place and your
chimney does not draw steadily.
• In the winter there is too much condensation on the windows.
• Opening a window seems to alleviate the above symptoms.
• A ventilation system is installed in the house.
• Other devices are present that exhaust house air.
• The house has tight fitting windows and/or is equipped with a well-sealed vapour barrier.
!
WARNING
IF ROOM AIR STARVATION OCCURS BECAUSE THE FRESH AIR INTAKE IS BLOCKED WITH ICE,
LEAVES, ETC., OR BECAUSE THE APPLIANCE DOOR WAS LEFT OPEN, OR DUE TO A STRONG

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.

11
W415-0892 / 03.05.10
NEVER INSTALL A SINGLE WALL SLIP SECTION OR SMOKE PIPE IN A CHASE STRUCTURE. THE HIGHER
TEMPERATURE OF THIS SINGLE WALL PIPE MAY RADIATE SUFFICIENT HEAT TO COMBUSTIBLE
CHASE MATERIALS TO CAUSE A FIRE.
DO NOT CONNECT THIS APPLIANCE TO A CHIMNEY SYSTEM SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
TO AVOID DANGER OF FIRE, ALL INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE STRICTLY FOLLOWED, INCLUDING THE
PROVISION OF AIR SPACE CLEARANCE BETWEEN CHIMNEY SYSTEM AND ENCLOSURE. TO
PROTECT AGAINST THE EFFECTS OF CORROSION ON THOSE PARTS EXPOSED TO THE WEATHER, WE
RECOMMEND THAT THE CHASE TOP BE PAINTED WITH A RUST-RESISTANT PAINT.
DO NOT FILL ANY FRAMED SPACE AROUND THE CHIMNEY WITH INSULATION OR ANY OTHER MATERIAL.
INSULATION PLACED IN THIS AREA COULD CAUSE ADJACENT COMBUSTIBLES TO OVERHEAT.
MAINTAIN A MINIMUM 2" AIR CLEARANCE TO ALL PARTS OF THE CHIMNEY SYSTEM AT ALL TIMES.
FAILURE TO MAINTAIN THIS 2" AIR CLEARANCE WILL CAUSE A STRUCTURE FIRE. NEVER FILL THIS
SPACE WITH ANY TYPE OF MATERIAL.
DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION OF THE CHASE TOP, STORM COLLAR AND
TERMINATION CAP ARE PACKAGED WITH THESE PARTS.
DO NOT CUT RAFTERS OR CEILING JOISTS WITHOUT FIRST CONSULTING A BUILDING OFFICIAL
TO ENSURE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY IS NOT COMPROMISED.
FIRESTOP SPACERS MUST BE USED WHENEVER THE CHIMNEY PENETRATES A CEILING/FLOOR AREA.
THE TOTAL HORIZONTAL VENT LENGTH SHOULD NOT EXCEED 40% OF THE CHIMNEY HEIGHT
ABOVE THE STOVE. ALL HORIZONTAL SMOKE PIPE MUST SLOPE SLIGHTLY UPWARDS A MINIMUM

WARNING
4.1 CHIMNEY
Your appliance may be hooked up with a factory built or masonry chimney. If you are using a factory built chim-
ney, it must comply with ULCS629 (Canada) or UL103 (USA) standards. It must therefore be a 6" HT Type
(2100°F) chimney. It is extremely important that it be installed according to the manufacturer's specifications.
The manufacturer's installation instructions and specified clearances should always be followed in accordance
with local and national codes. In Canada the CSA B365 and the CSA C22.1 installation codes are to be fol-
lowed. In the USA the ANSI NFPA 70 and ANSI NFPA 211 installation codes are to be followed.
Chimney and chimney connector must be in good condition and kept clean.

12
W415-0892 / 03.05.10
Your chimney connector and chimney must have the same diameter as the appliance’s exhaust outlet. The
appliance pipe must be made of aluminized or cold roll steel with a minimum 24 gauge thickness. It is strictly
forbidden to use galvanized steel.
A 6” diameter single wall stove pipe, used to connect the appliance to the chimney, must be installed with the
crimped end toward the appliance. This will ensure that the moisture which condenses from the burning wood will
flow back into the fire chamber. Each joint in the stove pipe must be secured with at least three sheet metal screws.
For installation of your chimney connector, the following recommendations may be useful.
• The chimney connector must be short and straight. For optimum performance it is recommended that
all horizontal runs have a minimum 1/4” rise per foot, with the upper end of the section toward the
chimney. For safe and proper operation of the appliance, see “INSTALLATION” instructions.
• To insure a good draft, the total horizontal length of the connector should never exceed 8’ to 10’. In
the case of vertical installation, the total length of the connector can be longer and connected without
problem to the chimney at the ceiling level.
• There should never be more than two 90° elbows in the whole connector and chimney system. Never
start with a 90° elbow. Always go up vertically for at least 2 feet from the flue collar before using a 90°
elbow.
• The connector must not pass through any combustible material, nor may it pass through a concealed
space (such as an attic, roof space, or closet). If passing through a wall, ceiling, or into a masonry
chimney, use either chimney components listed for that specific use, or means acceptable to local
authorities having jurisdiction over the installation.
4.1.1 CHIMNEY CONNECTION
This appliance must be connected to:
A
.A chimney complying with the requirements for Type
HT chimneys in the Standard for Chimneys, Factory-
Built, Residential Type and Building Heating Appli-
ance, or
B. A code-approved masonry chimney with a flue liner.
Vent the stove into a masonry chimney or an ap-
proved, insulated solid-fuel stainless-steel chimney
with as short and straight a length of 6” diameter
chimney connector as possible. Connection to a ma-
sonry chimney must be by a metal or masonry thimble
cemented in place.

4.1.3 TYPICAL THROUGH THE CEILING
A. Move the stove into position with the flue centered, midpoint between two
joists to prevent having to cut them. Use a plumb bob to line up the center.
B. Cut and frame an opening in the ceiling to provide a 2” clearance between
the outside of the chimney and any combustible material. DO NOT FILL THIS
SPACE WITH ANY TYPE OF MATERIAL.
Nail headers between the joist for extra support.
Firestop spacers must be placed on the bot-
tom of each framed opening in any floor or
ceiling that the chimney passes through.
If your chimney system is enclosed within
the attic area, a rafter radiation shield is
required.
C. 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 to maintain proper 2” clearances.
NOTE: The chimney must be supported at the ceiling or roof so that it’s
weight does not rest on the appliance and must comply with it’s
manufacturer’s instructions.

4.1.4 TYPICAL THROUGH THE WALL
If possible, design the installation so that the connector does not pass through a combustible wall. If during
your installation you must pass through a combustible wall, check with your building inspector before you be-
gin. Also check with the chimney connector manufacturer for any specific requirements.
Consult with your dealer regarding special connection components available for use for wall pass-throughs.
Use only parts that have been tested and listed for use in a wall pass-through.

4.1.5 TYPICAL EXISTING MASONRY
You can also install your appliance using your
existing masonry chimney. To do so, follow the
guidelines below. You may want to use a factory-
built thimble, or construct your own brick thimble.
If you are using a masonry chimney, it is
important that it be built in compliance with
the specifications of the Building Code in
your region. It must normally be lined with
fire clay bricks, metal or clay tiles sealed
together with fire cement. (Round flues are
the most efficient). The maximum flue size
is 8” x 8” square or 6” round.
