The masonry chimney must comply with UL codes. Before using
an existing masonry chimney, clean the chimney and inspect the
flue liner to be sure it is safe to use. Make repairs before attaching
the heater. See Page 3, Item 5. Look at Fig. 5. The connector pipe
and fittings you will need to connect directly to a masonry chimney
areshown. Iftheconnectorpipemustgothroughacombustiblewall
before entering the masonry chimney, consult a qualified mason or
chimney dealer. The installation must conform to local fire codes,
and NFPA 211. Do not connect this heater into the same chimney
flue as the fireplace or flue from another heater. The chimney used
for a heater must not be used to ventilate the cellar or basement. If
there is a cleanout opening at the base of the chimney, close it
tightly.
UL/ULC LISTED CHIMNEY
Carefully follow chimney manufacturer's instructions. Use only
listed type HT per UL 103, 6-in diameter black or blued chimney
connector, minimum 24 gauge steel. If your chimney starts at the
ceiling (Fig. 6), you will need enough 6" pipe to reach the ceiling.
The top of the chimney must be at least 3 feet above the roof and
be at least 2 feet higher than any point of the roof within 10 feet. (Fig
6)
RULES FOR CONNECTOR PIPE INSTALLATION
NOTE: The chimney connector shall not pass through an
attic, roof space, floor, ceiling, or similar concealed space.
Where passage through a wall or partition of combustible
construction is desired, the installation must conform with
NFPA 211.

Chimney Maintenance
Creosote - Formation and Need for Removal
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other
organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture to
form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the rela-
tively cool chimney flue of a slow burning fire. As a result,
creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When
ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire.
The chimney connector and chimney should be inspected
at least twice monthly during the heating season to deter-
mine if a creosote buildup has occurred.
Ifcreosotehasaccumulated,itshouldberemoved.Failureto
remove creosote may cause a house fire. Creosote may be
removed by using a chimney brush or other commonly
available materials.
Chimneyfiresburnveryhot.Ifthechimneyconnectorshould
glow red, immediately call the fire department, then reduce
thefirebyclosingtheinletaircontrolandpouralargequantity
of coarse salt, baking soda or cool ashes on top of the fire in

wall studs or rafters which you thought were a safe distance
from the chimney. If you have a chimney fire, have your
chimneyinspected bya qualifiedperson beforeusing again.
