be positioned where it will not be obstructed
MCZ strongly reccommends to install the air filter
provided with the stove (see Page 29).
Connection to outside (see Page 29) is required for
all mobile home installations and where building
codes require.
In all the other cases it is not mandatory to connect
the air intake directly to the stove (so that it draws
air directly from outside), but it is essential to ensure
an airflow to the stove for proper operation.
CONNECTION TO THE FLUE PIPE
2.5.
The stove must be connected to a UL listed pellet vent.
Pellet venting pipe (also known as L or PL vent) is constructed of two
layers with air space between the layers. This air space acts as an
insulator and reduces the outside surface temperature to allow a
clearance to combustibles of only 3 inches. The sections of pipe lock
together to form an air tight seal in most cases; however, in some
cases a perfect seal is not achieved. For this reason and the fact that
the Ego/Star operates with a positive vent pressure, we specify that the
joints also be sealed with high-temp silicone.
Connect the stove to listed 3" or 4" pellet vent. Be sure to use a starting
collar to attach the venting system to the stove. The starting collar
must be sealed to the stove with high temp silicone caulking.

combustibles. At the bottom of the flue pipe, provide an inspection cap
to allow periodic inspection and cleaning, which must be done
annually.
IMPORTANT!
The stove must be connected to a flue pipe or an
internal vent system conforming to UL standards

The Exhaust from the combustion of pellets may
cause discoloration on exterior walls. To eliminate
this possibility terminate the vent above the roof
line.
Exhaust gasses are very hot and almost invisible.
They can cause burns on contact.
