11W415-0764 / B / 10.28.114.0.1 TYPICAL EXISTING MASONRYYou can install your appliance using your existing masonry chimney. To doso, follow the guidelines below. If you are using a masonry chimney, itis important that it be built in compliance with the specifications of theBuilding Code in your region. It must normally be lined with fire claybricks, metal or clay tiles sealed together with fire cement. (Roundflues are the most efficient).62.2FOLLOW MANUFACTURER’SINSTRUCTIONS FORMAXIMUM LINER EXTENSIONABOVE CHIMNEYFLOORPROTECTORDAMPER PLATEREMOVED ORFASTENED IN OPENPOSITIONSEAL WITH NON-COMBUSTIBLEMATERIALMASONRYCHIMNEY MUSTHAVESTRUCTURALINTEGRITY LISTEDCHIMNEYLINERA. Remove the fireplace damper or fasten it permanently open.* We recommend the following method of sealing off the damper area around the liner.B. * Measure the throat of the fireplace and mark this shape on a piece of 24 gauge sheet metal (flue cov-er); cut a six-inch (6.75”) hole to lie directly below the fireplace flue opening. Allow two inches of materialfor a flange on all sides and cut to these measurements. Bend down the flanges. If you have never donethis before, it might be a good idea to make a cardboard pattern and test it first. Fasten this flue cover inposition as high as possible with two masonry screws per side through the flanges into the fireplace.In Canada: Install a listed 6 inch diameter flexible stainless steel liner from the top of the chimney to the insertflue collar. Attach a stainless steel liner connector or elbow to the liner and insert onto the flue collar. Fasten withthree screws. Secure the top of the liner to the chimney cap using a liner support and chimney flashing. Cap thetop of the chimney liner assembly using an approved rain cap.In the United States: While it is not required, it is recommended that a chimney liner be installed that is continu-ous from the insert to the top of the chimney, particularly when the insert is installed in a basement. For this typeof connection, use the “In Canada” installation instructions above.If a continuous liner is not installed, a “direct flue connection” must be made. The direct flue connection requires anon-combustible connector that extends from the insert into the chimney flue liner and also that the installed fluecover be sealed below the entry point of the connector to prevent dilution of combustion products in the chimneyflue with air from inside the house. Cap the top of the chimney using an approved rain cap.DO NOT CONNECT THIS APPLIANCE TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE. DONOT CONNECT TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR SYSTEM.! WARNING
