INSTALLING DAMPER
CLAMP ACCESSORY FOR
VENTED OPERATION
Note:
When used as a vented heater, appli-
ance must be installed only in a solid-fuel
burning fireplace with a working flue and
constructed of non combustible material.
If your heater is a manually controlled model,
you may use this heater as a vented product.
There are three reasons for operating your
heater in the vented mode:
1. The fireplace does not meet the clear-
ance to combustibles requirements for
vent-free operation
2. State or local codes do not permit vent-
free operation
3. You prefer vented operation
If reasons number 1 or 2 above apply to you,
you must permanently open chimney flue
damper. You must install the damper clamp
accessory (to order, see Accessories, page
21). This will insure vented operation (see
Figure 10). The damper clamp will keep
damper open. Installation instructions are
included with clamp accessory.
