INSTALLING DAMPER CLAMP ACCESSORY FOR VENTED OPERATION
NOTE: When used as a vented heater, appliance must be installed only in a solid-fuel burning
replace with a working ue constructed of noncombustible material. You may use this heater
as a vented product. There are three reasons for operating your heater as a vented model:
1. The replace does not meet the clearance requirements for vent-free operation.
2. State or local codes do not permit vent-free operation.
3. You prefer vented operation.
If reasons number 1 or 2 above apply to you, you must permanently open chimney ue damp-
er. You must install the damper clamp accessory (provided). This will ensure vented operation
(see Fig. 9). The damper clamp will keep damper open.
See chart below for the minimum permanent ue opening you must provide. Attach
damper clamp so the minimum permanent opening will be maintained at all times.
