WARNING! You must install false ceilings and ceil-

ing restops at each oor of the chase or every 10 ft

(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

insulation or other combustibles from entering and

making contact with replace or chimney.

• Failure to prevent contact between insulation or other

materials and chimney system may cause overheating

and re.

NOTICE: Wiring for fans must be done before framed

enclosure is completed. If using a Heat Zone Kit, it

also must be installed before enclosure is complete.

WARNING! Risk of Fire! You must comply with all

minimum air space clearances to combustibles. DO NOT

pack required air spaces with insulation or other materi-

als.

WARNING! Risk of Fire! Comply with all minimum clear-

ances specied.

• A minimum 1/2 in. (13 mm) air clearance must be

maintained at the back and 1 in. (25 mm) to the sides

of the replace assembly.

• Chimney sections at any level require a 2 in. (51 mm)

minimum air space clearance between the framing and

chimney section.

CAUTION! Risk of Cuts/Abrasions. Wear protective gloves

and safety glasses during installation. Sheet metal edges

are sharp.

WARNING! Risk of Fire! Prevent contact with sagging,

loose insulation.

• DO NOT install against vapor barriers or exposed

insulation.

• Secure insulation and vapor barriers.

• Provide minimum air space clearances at the sides and

CAUTION! Risk of Fire or Asphyxiation! DO NOT draw

outside combustion air from wall, oor or ceiling cavity, or

enclosed spaces such as an attic or garage.

• DO NOT place outside air inlet hood close to exhaust

vents or chimneys. Fumes or odor could be drawn into

the room through the replace.

• Locate outside air inlet hood to prevent blockage from

NOTICE:

If you live in an area with very cold winter months, you

will want to use room air as opposed to bringing in ex-
