American Energy Systems Ovation - Manual (Page 41)

6. Operation and use of electrical assemblies, such as blower motors, should include the care,
maintenance, and proper routing of power supply cords following national or local codes for
installation of such systems.
Proper draft must be provided for the Ovation OV26-BF-I insert to operate correctly. The amount of
draft in any chimney depends on the height of the chimney, the local geography, any nearby
obstructions, and other factors. Consult with a local installer or your dealer if you have any concerns
about proper draft.
INSTALLATION INTO FACTORY BUILT FIREPLACES
If an Ovation insert is to be installed into a listed zero clearance fireplace, the following requirements
must be met:
• Installation must include a full height listed chimney liner meeting type HT requirements
(2100 degrees F) per UL 1777 (U.S.) or ULC S635 (Canada). The liner must be securely
attached to the insert flue collar and chimney top as shown in FIGURE 21.
• Means must be provided to prevent room air passage to the chimney cavity of the fireplace.
Sealing the damper area around the chimney liner, or sealing the fireplace front may
accomplish this.
• Airflow within and around the fireplace shall not be altered by the installation of the insert
(i.e. no louvers or cooling air inlet or outlet ports are blocked), unless specifically tested as
such for each factory-built fireplace manufacturer and the model line. (Note – using a
louvered faceplate (surround) complies with this requirement).
• Alteration to the fireplace in any manner is not permitted with the following exceptions;
a. External trim pieces which do not affect the operation of the fireplace may be
removed providing they can be stored on or within the fireplace for reassembly if
the insert is removed.
b. The chimney damper may be removed to install the chimney liner.
• Circulating air chamber (i.e. in a steel fireplace liner or metal heat circulator) shall not be
blocked.
• Means must be provided for the removal of the insert to clean the chimney flue.
• Inserts that project in front of the fireplace must be supplied with appropriate supporting means.
