Installations into a clay flue withouta stainless steel liner may reduce efficiency, cancause the glass to darken, and produce excessivecreosote.Ensure that a masonry chimney meets the minimumstandards of the National Fire Protection Associa-tion (NFPA) Standard 211. It must have at least a5/8" (16mm) fire clay liner or a listed chimney linersystem. See Figure 12A. Make sure there are nocracks, loose mortar or other signs of deteriora-tion and blockage. It is best to have the chimneyinspected by a professional and be sure to havethe chimney cleaned before the stove is installedand operated.The flue should be checked to determine that it isnot too large for the stove. NFPA 211 allows thecross-sectional area of the flue to be no more than3 times the cross-sectional area of the flue collar ofthe stove (28 x 3 = 84 square inches). It is recom-mended that a chimney with a larger diameter berelined, since the oversized flue can cause poorperformance and contribute to the accumulationof creosote. (See page 11 for more informationabout troubleshooting draft problems).CAUTION!DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEYFLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.When connecting the stove through a combustiblewall to a masonry chimney, special methods areneeded.
