1. Th e chimney connection should be as airtight as possible. Th e heater must have its own chimney
fl ue. Do not connect this unit to a chimney fl ue serving another appliance. If there is no chimney near
where you wish to place the heater, you can use a UL 103HT Residential Type and Building Heating
Appliance Chimney (Fig. 5, 6, 6A & 6B).
2. Place the heater on solid masonry or solid concrete. When the heater is used on a combustible fl oor, a
Type-2 protector listed to UL1618 must be used. A fl oor protector of one layer of 3/8" millboard having
a thermal resistance of R=0.45 (K=0.84 BTU in./ft . 2 hr. Deg. F) with 28-gauge sheet metal may also be
used. Have the fl oor protector extend 16" beyond the door side of the heater and 2" on either side and
under the connector pipe in the back.
3. Check Figures 2, 3, and 4. Be sure you have the clearances shown from the heater and the connec-
tor pipe to combustible surfaces. If you have a solid brick or stone wall behind your heater, you can
place the heater as close as you wish to the wall. If the wall is only faced with brick or stone, treat it as
a combustible wall.
LOCATING THE HEATER
AS A LOCATION IS SELECTED,
KEEP THE FOLLOWING IN MIND:
heater or chimney connector. Th e 1 inch air space provides free air circulation. It is essential that there
be openings at the top and bottom of these clearance reducers so cool air can enter at the bottom and
hot air exit at the top. It is the "chimney eff ect" whereby when the air in the space is heated, it rises
exiting from the top and being replaced by cooler air at the bottom, that makes these shields eff ective.
Masonry, or other non-combustible products, attached directly to a combustible surface without an air
space off er very little protection and cannot be considered a clearance reducer unless specifi ed materi-
als have been tested and listed for direct attachment to a combustible surface. Th
e same applies to thin
veneer brick and stone coverings. Th ese materials provide adequate protection only when mounted on
sheet metal with a 1 inch spacing to the wall.
A variety or prefabricated clearance reduction systems which have been tested and listed are available
through heater dealers. Always look for a safety listing label on the product when selecting a clearance
reduction system and make sure it is designed for solid fuel appliances. Th
e manufactures of these
systems provide specifi c installation instructions that must be followed exactly for a safe installation.
BAROMETRIC DRAFT REGULATOR
Model DR6
SAFETY NOTICE
In the unlikely event that your VG820E "overfi res" (a condition evidenced by elbows,
stovepipes, and connectors glowing red in appearance or otherwise discoloring), then your
installation is subject to excessive draft created by either a chimney too tall or too great in
diameter in conjunction with its height, or some other factor of an indeterminate cause. In
this event, you should install a barometric draft regulator. Such installation will preclude any
overfi ring and/or any hazardous consequences of potential overfi ring.
Barometric draft regulators are generally available where you purchased your stove or may
be ordered directly from United States Stove Company at a nominal charge.
NOTE:
DURING OPENING AND CLOSING OF THE FEED AND ASH DOORS OF
THIS HEATER, IT MAY SEEM THAT THE FIT OF THE DOOR IS
"TOO TIGHT". AS THE HEATER IS FIRED, THE GASKETING "SETTLES" OR
"SEATS" ITSELF IN THE DOOR. THE TIGHT FIT AT THE FACTORY AND
BEFORE THE HEATER'S INITIAL FIRING IS TO INSURE A GOOD SEAL
AFTER THE GASKETING "SETTLES".
NOTE:
FOR YOUR SAFETY, WE RECOMMEND INSTALLING SMOKE DETECTORS
IN YOUR HOME IF NOT ALREADY INSTALLED.
