LOCATING THE ROOM HEATER AS A LOCATION IS SELECTED, KEEP THE FOLLOWING IN MIND: 1. Keep the chimney connection as short as possible. The heater must have its own chimney flue. Do not connect any other appliance to the same flue. If there is no chimney where you wish to place the heater, you can use a UL 103 HT, Solid Fuel, Factory Built Chimney or a code-approved masonry chimney. 3. Check figures below.

APS1100 Assembly This heater comes equipped with a cast-iron flue collar to mount as shown below: Flue Collar 5/16-18 x 1-1/2" Bolts (3 req.) Weld Tab (3 req.) Gasket Peel off tape from the back of the gasket and attach the gasket to the rope groove in the flue collar. Mount flue collar to the top of the heater using the (3) 5/16-18 x 1-1/2" Bolts, Washers, and the (3) Weld tabs provided in the parts bag. Flue Collar Fig.

CHIMNEY CONNECTION Two basic types of chimneys are approved for use with solid fuel. Factory-built and masonry. Factory-built chimney must comply with UL standard in the US. Do not expect your stove to create draft. Draft is not a function of the appliance. Draft is purely a function of the chimney. Modern stoves and furnaces are much more air-tight and efficient than those of the past, and, therefore, require greater draft. A minimum of .

Combustible Wall Chimney Connector Pass-Throughs Method A. 12" Clearance to Combustible Wall Member Use a minimum 3-1/2" thick brick masonry wall framed into the combustible wall. A fireclay liner (ASTM C315 or equivalent) having a 5/8" minimum wall thickness must be used and it must be at least 12" away from any material that could catch fire. The inside diameter of the fireclay liner shall be sized for the proper snug fit of a 6" diameter chimney connector pipe.

VENTING INTO A FIREPLACE VENTING INTO A MASONRY CHIMNEY 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 tightly 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.
PAGE 10
"FIREPLACE" INSTALLATION (CONT'D) FIREPLACE INSTALLATION Do not use the Type B installation (not illustrated in this manual), that is, venting up through the fireplace opening, regardless of whether the fireplace opening is closed. Connection of the stovepipe directly into the existing masonry chimney over the fireplace opening is a more desirable method. This installation performs better, yielding more heat and better draft; it is also easy to clean and inspect for creosote.
PAGE 11
RULES FOR CONNECTOR PIPE INSTALLATION 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Crimped end of the pipe must be installed toward the heater. The pipe should slide inside the flue collar. The pipe should be firmly attached to the flue collar with 3 screws and sealed with furnace cement. Slope any horizontal pipe upward toward the chimney at least 1/4 " inch for each foot of horizontal run. You must have at least 18" inches clearance between any horizontal piping and the ceiling. The pipe cannot extend into the chimney flue.

ASHES - REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL Ashes should not be allowed to accumulate inside the heater to the point that they obstruct airflow through the burning wood. If ashes obstruct the airflow, poor burning of the wood is likely. When removing ashes from the heater, wear noncombustible gloves to protect your hands from hot surfaces. Rake ashes using an ash shovel and dump ashes into a safe, noncombustible container. ASHES SHOULD BE PLACED IN A METAL CONTAINER WITH A TIGHT FITTING LID.
