NOTE: local/national codes or regulations may override some guidelines in this manual We recommend that our products be installed and/or serviced by professionals who are certified by a "Qualified agency"; NFI (National Fireplace Institute®) in the United States, CSIA (Chimney Safety Institute of America) in the United States and Canada, WETT (Wood Energy Technology Transfer) in Canada or APC (Association des Professionnels du Chauffage) in Quebec PACIFIC 100001219 16 VISTA-LE_220819-32 ENERGY Warning: Under no circumstances is this heater to be installed in a makeshift or "temporary" manner. It may be fired only after the following conditions have been met. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CONNECT THIS HEATER TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT. Outside combustion air or fresh air into the room may be required in your area, consult local building codes (see Combustion Air section). Chimney and Connector • The chimney system must be a ULC-S629 or UL-130HT listed Stainless chimney or a Masonry chimney suitable for use with solid fuel, that is lined, in good condition and meets fire and building codes. • The chimney flue size should be the same as the stove outlet (6 inches)for optimal performance. Reducing or increasing the flue size may adversely affect stove performance. • Chimney flue exit is to be 3 feet (1 m.) above roof and two feet (0.6 m.) above highest projection within 10 feet (3 m.) horizontally. • The installation must meet all local codes. • Do not connect this unit to a chimney flue serving another appliance. Minimum system height is 15 feet (4.6 m.) (measured from base of appliance). BOTH CHIMNEY SYSTEM AND CONNECTOR MUST BE LISTED TO: IN CANADA- ULC S-641 LISTED for double wall connector and ULC-5629 LISTED CHIMNEY, IN USA - UL-103 HT LISTED CONNECTOR AND CHIMNEY When using a Double-Wall Connector • Use a listed double-wall connector. • If a listed chimney and double-wall connector are to be connected to the stove, install all components as per the chimney/connector manufacturer's installation requirements. When using a Single-Wall (smoke pipe) Connector The single wall pipe section must be: • If you are using smoke pipe/chimney connector in conjunction with the listed chimney system, consult local/national fire or building codes for connector installation. Follow the chimney manufacturer's complete instructions for the installation of the chimney system. • As short and straight as possible, use six inch diameter, 24 gauge black pipe that is clean and in new condition. • Installed with the crimped or male ends pointing down. (This will carry any liquid creosote or condensation back into the stove) and secured at every joint and collar with 3 sheet metal screws. • The chimney connector shall not pass through an attic, roof space, closet or similar concealed space, floor, or ceiling. Where passage through a wall, or partition of combustible material is desired, the installa- tion shall conform to CAN/CSA-B365, Installation Code for Solid-Fuel-Burning Appliances and Equipment or NFPA 211 Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents and Solid-Fuel Burning Appliances. VISTA-LE_220819-32 17 100001219 PACIFIC ENERGY Installation Procedure 1. Select the position for your wood stove based on the clearances diagram. Position the floor protection and stove. 2. Mark the position for the hole in the ceiling and roof by using a string and plumb-bob hanging over the exact center of the stoves flue pipe. 3. Check that the intended location will not interfere with floor joists, ceiling joists or rafters before proceed- ing further. Adjust if necessary and reconfirm the clearance's from the stove to combustibles. 4. Carefully follow the directions of the listed chimney for installation of the chimney system from the ceiling through to the rain cap. This may include framing in holes etc. 5. Start installing smoke pipe/chimney connector, slip the crimped edge of the pipe inside the stove collar. Use holes provided in collar to secure pipe with two screws. 6. Install the remaining lengths of pipe one on top of the other up to the finished height of the chimney and using the manufacturers approved adapter, secure to each other. A slip section can make this easier. Combustion Air Intake or combustion air can be supplied to the stove in one of two ways. Consult your local building code or CAN/CSA-B365, Installation Code for Solid-Fuel-Burning Appliances and Equipment before proceeding. Outside air supply- (Necessary for mobile home installation, optional for residential installation.) To draw outside air through the floor-This hole must get its air from a ventilated crawl space or be extended with duct to the outdoors (see Figure #3, Page 7). The use of outside combustion air for residential installation requires the unit to be secured to the structure to prevent dislodging of the air duct. • Leg Model: Cut or drill a hole in the floor, (large enough to fit 4" metal flex venting) behind the ash box enclosure. Once the stove is in place, attach the 4" Intake Starter to the Ash Box Enclosure. Connect to the floor with the 4"(100mm) i.d. metal flex pipe. • Pedestal Model: Cut or drill a 4" (100mm) diameter hole in the floor anywhere inside the perimeter of the pedestal base. Cover the hole with a 4" x 4" (100 mm x 100 mm) rodent screen and staple/nail in place. Leave the cover over the hole on the back of the Pedestal. Place the stove over the hole. To draw outside air from behind the stove, Use a 4"(100mm) Air intake. Cut or drill the recommended size hole through a wall behind the unit. • Install the 4" Intake Starter over the hole in the rear of the Ash Box enclosure. Attach metal flex between the starter and the Air Intake. • Pedestal Model: Remove the cover plate from the rear of the pedestal and install the cover plate over the hole located under the Pedestal. Install the 4" Intake Starter over the hole in the rear. Attach metal flex between the starter and the wall inlet. Room air supply - The stove will draw its air from the room through the opening in the Ash Box Enclosure and into the firebox intake. Note:The living space around the heater must be well ventilated with good air circulation. Anything that may cause a negative pressure can cause gases or fumes to be pulled into the living area. During extremely cold weather, and especially when burning at very slow rates, the upper parts of the exposed chimney may ice up, partially blocking the flue gases. If blockage occurs, flue gases may enter the living space.

Screws or locking bands are needed to prevent accidental disengagement If you see deposits more than 1/16 inch thick,clean all of the chimney parts during chimney cleaning, and to reinforce the chimney whenever it is mechanically. This means using brushes, scraping or equivalent. Don't outdoors, along walls, or above the roof, start a chimney fire!With only slight deposits,try a hot fire to see if the black deposits change to light ash or fall down the chimney. You can hear the sound of falling deposits when temperature conditions are right. After- wards reinspect the chimney and the inside of the appliance for deposits.
