Both a stove and its chimney connector radiate heat in

all directions when operating. A safe installation re-

quires that adequate clearance be maintained between

the stove and nearby combustible materials to ensure

that such materials do not overheat.

Clearance is the distance between either your stove or

chimney connector, and nearby walls, oors, the ceiling,

and any other xed combustible surface. Keep furnish-

ings and other combustible materials away from the

stove as well. In general, a distance of 48” (1220 mm)

must be maintained between the stove and moveable

combustible items such as drying clothes, furniture,

newspapers, rewood, etc. Keeping those clearance

areas empty assures that nearby surfaces and objects

will not overheat.

Your stove has special clearance requirements that

have been established after careful research, and test-

ing to UL and ULC standards.

Clearance requirements have been established to meet

most installation possibilities, and they involve the com-

bination of four basic variables:

• When the stove has no listed heat shield mounted

on it.

• When the stove has a listed heat shield mounted on

it.

• When the wall has no listed heat shield mounted on

it.

• When the wall has a listed heat shield mounted on it.

In general, the greatest clearance is required when you

are placing a stove with no heat shield near a wall with

no heat shield. The least clearance is required when

both the stove and the wall have heat shields. Reducing

a stove clearance may require a listed heat shield on

the chimney connector as well.

Clearances may be reduced only by means approved

by the regulatory authority, or in accordance with the

clearances listed in this manual.



Wall shields should be constructed of 24 gauge or

heavier sheet metal, or another noncombustible mate-

rial such as 1/2” (13 mm) insulation board or common

brick “laid on at,” with the 3¹⁄₂" (89 mm) side down.

(Fig. 13)

Shields must be spaced out from the combustible

surface 1" (25 mm) on noncombustible spacers. The

spacers should not be directly behind the stove or chim-

ney connector.

Air must be able to ow between the wall and the

shield. At least 50% of the bottom 1” (25 mm) of the

shield should be open and the shield must be open at

the top.

When calculating clearance, always measure from the

top plate of the stove, or, from the chimney connector

itself, to the adjacent combustible surface. Do not mea-

sure from the heat shields of the stove or connector to

the combustible surface.

Your Resolute Acclaim is shipped with the ue collar in

the top exit position. Depending on your requirements,

you may wish to reverse the ue collar and extension

plate to the rear exit position. The only tool necessary is

a 7/16” wrench.

To reverse the ue collar position:

1. Remove the four (4) fasteners that hold the collar

and extension plate. The fasteners are accessible

by reaching through the ue collar of the stove.

2. Remove the ue collar and extension plate.

3. Examine the exposed gasket; contact your Vermont

Castings Authorized Dealer if the gasket needs to be

replaced.

4. Position the extension plate and ue collar in the

appropriate orientation, making sure the gasket

remains in place. The notched edge of the extension

plate should be next to the griddle.
