Whatever regulations apply to your area,do not in any case install the stove within 8 inches of combustible materials around the sides or i6 inches above the top of the stove (fireplace installations require greater clear- ances above the stove-see below in the clearance chart).These distances may need to be increased if the materials are sensitive to heat. Note also that wall paper and other decora- tive materials may become detached with the effects of heat and care should be taken to ensure that they do not fall towards the stove in such an event. When the stove is positioned near non-combustible materials, a gap of 4 inches or more is recommended for cleaning purposes and to ensure that heat circulates around the stove and out into the room. If using rear exit,the floor protection must extend beneath the chimney connector and a-in beyond each side.

The stove must not be connected to a chimney flue serving any other appliance. (Several flues may run up a single chimney stack; use one flueway per appliance). Use a residential type masonry or listed type HT factory-built chimney. High Temperature (H.T.) Chimney Standard UL-io3-1985 (2ioo° F.) or a code-approved masonry chimney with flue liner for the USA, and High Temperature (650°C) Standard ULC S-629 for Canada. The internal dimensions of the chimney connector and chimney must not be less than 6 inch- es diameter(or equivalent cross section),and should not be significantly larger than this.Too large a section will tend to allow the flue gases to cool excessively, causing sluggishness or unpredictability in the stove's performance. We recommend the length of the chimney system should be at least 16 feet (not required) above the stove in normal domestic situations, measured from the flue collar to the top of the chimney. . • Local conditions like for example - roof constructions, large trees nearby and high altitude, may influence the chimney draft and height.Therefore,contact the local professional chim- ney sweep or your Morse)dealer.

Ceding supported Wall supported Masonry Chimney 5 a 1.3 Flue Connection The stove Is supplied from the factory with a round blanking plate blocking off the top and rear flue exit(behind the rear shield plate).A flue collar are placed in the firebox area. Use a 24 MSG black or blue chimney connector or listed double wall chimney connector. Re- fer to local codes and the chimney manufacturer's instructions for precautions required for passing a chimney through a combustible wall or ceiling. Remember to secure the chimney connector with a minimum of three screws to the product and to each adjoining section. The collar can be fitted to the rear outlet.Simply knock out the round panel on the rear heat shield plate to reveal the cast iron plate. Untwist the blanking plate and the flue collar and swap their positions. Re-secure by pushing down and tighten the enclosed screws. Position the stove and connect to the flue system. Wear gloves and protective eyewear when drilling, cutting or joining sections of chim- ney connector 1.4 Connection to the existing chimney A chimney connector is the double-wall or single-wall pipe that connects the stove to the chim-ney. The chimney itself is the masonry or prefabricated structure that encloses the flue. Chimney connectors are used only to connect the stove to the chimney. Double-wall connectors must be tested and listed for use with solid-fuel burning applianc- es. Single-wall connectors should be made of 24 gauge or heavier gauge steel. Do not use galvanized connector; it cannot withstand the high-temperatures that smoke and exhaust gases can reach, and may release toxic fumes under high heat. The connector must be 6 inches (15omm) in diameter. If possible, do not pass the chimney connector through a combustible wall or ceiling. If pas- sage through a combustible wall is unavoidable,refer to the sections on Wall Pass-Throughs. Do not pass the connector through an attic,a closet or similar concealed space when install- ing the chimney connectors. It is important to keep the flue gases moving smoothly in the right direction. Do not vent into a large void at this location; rather form one continuous section all the way up. Use mild bends(e.g.45°vs.go°) rather than sharp angles where a change of direction is required.All parts of the venting must be accessible for cleaning purposes. In horizontal runs of chimney, maintain a distance of 18 inches from the ceiling. Keep it as short and direct as possible,with no more than two go degree turns. Slope horizontal runs of connector upward 1/4 inch per foot(2o mm per metre) going from the stove toward the chimney.The recommended maximum length of a horizontal run is 3 feet(1 metre),and the total length should be no longer than 8 feet(2.5 metres). Information on assembling and installing connectors is provided by the manufacturer's in- structions exactly as you assemble the connector and attach it to the stove and chimney. Be sure the installed stove and chimney connector are correct distances from near by combustible materials. See the clearance paragraph page 8. Where passage through a wall or partition of combustible construction is desired, the in- stallation shall conform to CAN/CSA-B365. 6 Fireplace Insert Installation (for qualified installers only) 25 Insert with Positive Connection Insert with Direct Connection (Masonry REQUIRED IN CANADA. Fireplace) NOT ALLOWED IN CANADA. A block-off plate or other non-combustible sealing device (e.g. damper adapter) is required. It must seal the chimney to ensure smoke does not enter the home while providing the chimney system with sufficient draft. 'Sr WV lirir 4,1 GEC 11.____1S L.
