Venting System Assembly
Adjust the leg levelers as needed. They should not
extend any further from the leg than necessary.
The venting collar is on the sheet metal draft hood/heat
exchanger assembly, over the firebox. Use a B-vent
adapter, from the same maker as the rest of the B-vent
components, to join the first section of venting to the
draft hood.
The SNV30 stove includes a spill switch. Operating this
stove when not connected to a properly installed and
maintained venting system, or tampering with or discon-
necting the spill switch, can result in carbon monoxide
(CO) poisoning and possible death.
The stove includes a bracket for installing decorative 6”
(152mm) round stove pipe around the B-vent, for ap-
pearance purposes only. The decorative pipe need not
be concentric with the vent pipe.
If the installation includes decorative stove pipe around
the venting system, make a cardboard template of the
decorative pipe by tracing its circumference. Put this
template in the flue recess in the stove top. Position the
template to fit well against the front of the recess. (Fig.
14) Use this template to locate the bracket to hold the
decorative pipe. Depending on spacing, the bracket
may fit inside the decorative pipe without interfering
with the vent system. Fasten the bracket to the draft
hood/heat exchanger assembly with a sheet metal
screw.

8. The rheostat control switch attaches to the left side
of the valve bracket at the front of the stove. (Fig.
12)
• Remove retaining nut from shaft of rheostat. (if
preinstalled)
• Insert the rheostat through the hole in the back
of the left side of the valve bracket, aligning the
locator pin with the smaller hole in that bracket.
• Thread the retaining nut onto the shaft of the
rheostat, tightening with a wrench. Do not over-
tighten.
• Attach the control knob to the rheostat shaft.
• Use the wire tie to secure the fan and rheostat
wire harnesses together.
9. Plug the power cord into a standard grounded 110
volt household outlet. If the fan control knob is not
turned to the OFF position, the fan will turn on when
the temperature at the snapstat reaches approxi-
mately 109°F.
