WARNING! You must install false ceilings and ceil-

(3.05 m) to control spread of re.

WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT sealareabetweenre

stop opening and chimney pipe except where they enter

the attic or leave the warm air envelope of the home (use

600° F sealant).

WARNING! Risk of Fire! You must maintain a minimum

2 in. (51 mm) air space clearance to insulation and other

materials surrounding the chimney system.

• Insulationandothermaterialsmustbermlysecuredto

prevent accidental contact with chimney system.

• Thechasemustbeproperlyblockedtopreventblown
