LOCATING THE HEATER AS A LOCATION IS SELECTED, KEEP THE FOLLOWING MIND: 1. The chimney connection should be as airtight as possible. The heater must have its own chimney flue. Do not connect this unit to a chimney flue serving another appliance. If there is no chimney near where you wish to place the heater, you can use a UL 103HT Residential Type and Building Heating Appliance Chimney. 2. Place the heater on solid masonry or solid concrete.

CHIMNEY The following recommendations may be useful for the installation of your chimney: Your wood stove may be hooked up with a 6” factory built or masonry chimney. If you are using a factory built chimney, it must comply with UL 103 standard; therefore it must be a Type HT (2100°F). It is extremely important that it be installed according to the manufacturer’s specifications. 1. It must rise above the roof at least 3’ (0.9m) from the uppermost point of contact. 2.

Internal Parts Diagram 4 5 6 FACTORY BUILT CHIMNEY When a metal prefabricated chimney is used, the manufacturer’s installation instructions must be followed. You must also purchase (from the same manufacturer) and install the ceiling support package or wall pass-through and “T” section package, firestops (where needed), 24 20 21 insulation shield, roof flashing, chimney cap, etc. Maintain proper clearance to the structure as recommended by the manufacturer.

venting into a fireplace Many people may wish to convert an existing fireplace to heater use. Usually, safe connection of stovepipe to a masonry chimney requires more effort than connection to a prefabricated chimney. The fireplace must be closed and sealed at the damper in the flue. Good sealants are high temperature caulking, ceramic wool, and furnace cement. Always remember to inspect the masonry chimney and fireplace. If necessary, clean the flue and smoke shelf before beginning your installation.

Bulletine RC454 continued... BANKING THE FIRE: to a near closed position - but leave the ash pit damper at least partially open to prevent the fire from going out. Adjust the stove pipe damper to reduce the draft on the fire. With anthracite there will be short blue flames above the coal, except when the fire is started or a new charge is added. If, however, there is no flame then the fire needs more air from the bottom (unless it is near the end of its burn cycle and needs to be recharged).
PAGE 10
MASONRY CHIMNEY continued... Ensure that a masonry chimney meets the minimum standards of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) by having it inspected by a professional. Make sure there are no cracks, loose mortar or other signs of deterioration and blockage. Have the chimney cleaned before the stove is installed and operated. When connecting the stove through a combustible wall to a masonry chimney, special methods are needed. Bulletine RC454 A guide to burning coal in your heater.

Operating Instructions Fuel Recommendations 1. Always set the thermostat to high before opening the feed door to refuel or stoke the fire. 2. When opening the feed door, turn handle and open door until it stops on the latch and leave it at that position for at least 10 seconds before opening fully. This, along with step 1 above, will allow any accumulated gases or smoke to exit into the chimney, eliminating flame or smoke spillage into the room. 3.
