Waterford E63-1 EMERALD Freestanding Gas Stove

Vent Terminations

Installation into Existing
Woodstove Flue System

1) Clean existing Chimney system.

2) Run an approved 4" flex liner or "B" vent

into existing chimney.

DRAFT HOOD

This heater has a draft hood built in. It must not
be altered, obstructed, or blocked in any way,
and the unit must be installed so that the draft
hood is in the same atmospheric pressure zone
as the combustion air inlet to the burner. This
heater must be properly connected to a venting
system. This heater is equipped with a vent
safety shutoff system.

WARNING: Operation of this heater
when not connected to a properly
installed and maintained venting
system or tampering with the vent
safety shutoff system can result in
carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning
and possible death.

HIGH ELEVATION

The E63-1 (with 38,000 Btu) is approved in
Canada for altitude 2000 ft. to 4500 ft. (CAN/
CGA-2.17-M91) with the orifice kit (Part # 591-
975). For Natural Gas installations above 4500
ft. follow current CAN/CGA-B149.1.

In U.S.A., for installations above 2000 ft. refer
to current ANSI Z223.1 Sc8-8.1.2a appendix F,
for resizing orifice.

VENTING

This heater is a vented appliance and must be
connected to a chimney/flue in accordance
with the installation codes.

Note: The rear pedestal cover plate is

only required when outside air is
being used. If using room air for
combustion, remove this plate
from the back of the pedestal.

For your safety this heater is equipped with a
vent safety switch designed to sense incorrect
venting and react by shutting down the gas
supply. This thermally actuated switch is locat-
ed within the draft hood and will detect either
a blocked chimney or backdraft condition where
the chimney flow has reversed. If this switch
shuts the unit down, it indicates a drafting
problem that must be identified and rectified
without delay - the thermally activated switch
must never be bypassed or disconnected as
a hazardous or deadly condition can result.

Venting Requirements

A four inch diameter vent is required. B-Vent,
Class A or Masonry with an approved liner are
all acceptable. For cosmetic or aesthetic pur-
poses 6" outer vent can be used as long as an
approved inner vent is installed. Fasten but do

INSTALLATION

9) Connect green power cord ground wire to

grounding lug.

10) Run neutral black wire from power cord

and connect to fan motor.

11) Run live black wire from power cord and

connect to speed control wire.

12) Connect the white wire of the wire har-

ness to the fan terminal.

NOTE: Pull excess wire next to fan to
avoid excessive heat from the fire-
box.

13) Ensure all wires are pulled away from

firebox to avoid excessive heat and se-
cure with stick-on wire clip.

14) Re-attach control panel with 3 screws,

reversing step 1. Re-attach rear access
panel with 6 screws, reversing step 5.

NOTE: When power cord is plugged in,

speed control is in the ON posi-
tion and stove is burning, allow 10
- 15 minutes for the thermodisc
(temperature switch) to activate
and turn on the Fan automatically.

WARNING:

Electrical Grounding Instructions

This appliance is equipped with a
three pronged (grounding) plug for
your protection against shock haz-
ard and should be plugged directly
into a properly grounded three-
prong receptacle. Do not cut or
remove the grounding prong from
this plug.

not penetrate the inner sleeve of the B-Vent
when tightening the screw.

Follow all venting manufacturer’s requirements
and local building codes. In cold climates, we
recommend the use of insulated B-vent, chase,
and liners. For altitudes above 2000 ft. we
recommend that a minimum flue height of 12 ft.
is used.

Note: See the chimney

systems manufac-
turer for detailed
installation
instructions.
