RESIDENTIAL INSTALLATION
CAUTION: At no time can unlabelled parts, or substitute parts made for another chimney system be
used. Install as per chimney manufacturer's installation instructions.
1. Please read this entire manual before you install and use your new Chalet 1800 woodstove. Failure
to follow instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury or even death. Be aware that local
Codes and Regulations may override some items in this manual. Check with your local Authority
Having Jurisdiction.
2. Select a location for your Archgard Chalet 1800 Stove. Double check the clearances on the label and
set the stove in place.
3. For a vertical installation, suspend a plumb bob from the ceiling over the exact center of your stove
flue collar or use a laser centering device and mark the ceiling to indicate the center of the chimney.
4. Check that the intended location does not interfere with trusses, joists or rafters before proceeding
further.
5. Cut a hole in the ceiling and roof to suit the chimney system and do any necessary framing as
required by the chimney manufacturer. Maintain the integrity of the vapor barrier. NOTE:
Interior
chimneys shall be enclosed where they extend through closets, storage areas, occupied spaces, or
anyplace where the surface of the chimney could be contacted by persons or combustible materials.
6. Install required supports, firestops, radiation shields, etc. Assemble chimney sections so that the
finished length is cradled in the support and protruding through the roof, install the flashing and
storm collar (in some cases you may have to install the flashing before the section of chimney goes
through the roof) . Attach rain cap. Depending on how much exposed chimney you have, you may
need to install roof braces.
Install chimney according to chimney manufacturer’s instructions. The performance of your
woodstove is largely dependant on the chimney system. Too short a chimney can cause difficult
start-ups, dirty glass, smoking problems when the door is open, and even reduced heat output.
Too tall a chimney can cause excessive draft which can result in very short burn times and
excessive heat output and possible overheating of the stove.
CAUTION: The chimney should be the same size as the 6" flue outlet on the stove. The Chalet 1800
woodstove must be connected to a listed UL 103 HT chimney in the USA or a listed ULC S629 chimney
in Canada or a code approved masonry chimney with a flue liner.
7. The floor pad (ember pad) must be of non-combustible material and must extend 16" in front of the
door opening and 6" to the sides and rear of the unit.
Note: In Canada, the floor pad (ember pad) must be of non-combustible material and must extend
18" (450mm) in front of the door opening and 8" (200mm) to the sides and rear of the unit. See your
local inspector or the CSA B365 in Canada or NFPA 211 in USA
8. If you are installing the mobile home combustion air adapter, position the stove on the floor/hearth
pad (ember pad) and mark the location of the hole in the wall, drill or cut the hole and install the
ducting and hood, with rodent screen and insulate if necessary.
9. When the stove is positioned with the flue collar centered under the chimney, hook up the connector
pipe and fasten it to the flue collar which has provisions for 3 screws and to the chimney as per
manufacturer’s instructions
.
