Check with your local building code agency before you begin your
installation to ensure compliance with local codes, including the
need for permits and follow-up inspections. Be sure local build-
ing codes do not supersede UL specications and always obtain
a building permit so that insurance protection benets cannot be

NSTALLATION MATERIALS NEEDED FOR YOUR SAFETY
CHIMNEY CONNECTOR (also known as ue pipe or stove pipe):
The chimney connector joins the stove to the chimney (see page
11). It must be 6 inch (152mm) minimum diameter 24 MSG black
or blued steel, or an approved air-insulated double wall venting
pipe.
THIMBLE: A manufactured or site-constructed device installed in
combustible walls through which the chimney connector passes
to the chimney (see page 11-12). It is intended to keep the
walls from igniting.
CHIMNEY SYSTEMS:
1. APPROVED MASONRY with
at least 5/8 inch (16mm) re clay lining joined with refractory
cement or other listed system suitable for use with wood
stoves.
2. PREFABRICATED 6 inch (152mm) listed high temperature
(UL 103 HT or ULC S629) chimney. Components required
by manufacturers for installation such as the chimney support
base, restop (as appropriate), attic insulation shield, insulated
tee, etc., are necessary to assure a safe chimney installation.
Use only components manufactured for the chimney. Chimney
installation should meet NFPA 211 standards.
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 conveniently located Class A re extinguisher to contend
with small res resulting from burning embers.
3. A practiced evacuation plan, consisting of at least two
escape routes.
4. A plan to deal with a chimney re as follows:
In the event of a chimney re:
A. Notify re department.
B. Prepare occupants for immediate evacuation.
C. Close all openings into the stove.
D. While awaiting re department, watch for ignition of
adjacent combustibles from overheated stove pipe,
hot embers or sparks from the chimney.
VENTING SYSTEM
The venting system consists of a chimney connector and a
chimney. These get extremely hot during use. Temperatures
inside the chimney may exceed 2000°F (1100°C) in the event of
a creosote re. To protect against the possibility of a house re,
the chimney connector and chimney must be properly installed
and maintained. An approved thimble must be used when a
connection is made through a combustible wall to a chimney.
A chimney support package must be used when a connection
is made through the ceiling to a prefabricated chimney. These
accessories are absolutely necessary to provide safe clearances
to combustible wall and ceiling material. Follow venting
manufacturer’s clearances when installing venting system.
This stove may be connected to a lined masonry chimney or a
listed high temperature prefabricated approved metal chimney.
Do not connect it to a chimney serving another appliance. To do
so will affect the safe operation of both appliances.
