INSTALLATION
WARNING: The Massachu-
setts State Board requires all
installations be performed by
a Licensed Plumber or Gas Fit-
ter. Massachusetts state code
requires all vent dampers be
welded open or removed.

the chimney flue and firebox
must be cleaned of soot, creo-
sote, ashes and loose paint by
a qualified chimney cleaner.
Creosote will ignite if highly
heated. A dirty chimney flue may
create and distribute soot within
the house. Inspect chimney flue
for damage.
