PLANNING YOUR INSTALLATION
QUESTIONS TO ASK LOCAL BUILDING OFFICIAL
A correct installation is critical and imperative for reducing fire hazards and perilous conditions that can arise when wood burning appliances are improperly installed. The installer must follow all of the manufacturer’s instructions.
The installation of a wood burning appliance must conform to local codes and applicable state and federal requirements. Familiarity with these requirements before installation is essential. Important considerations to discuss with local building officials include:
1.Applicable codes (i.e. Uniform Mechanical Code, State or Regional Codes)?
Electrical codes: Optional Blower Assemblies have a flexible electrical cord that must be electrically grounded per local codes or per electrical codes:
In USA, NEC, ANSI/NFPA 70-1987 In Canada, CSA C22.1
WARNING: ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS: THIS APPLIANCE IS EQUIPPED WITH A THREE-PRONG (GROUNDING) PLUG FOR YOUR PROTECTION AGAINST SHOCK HAZARD AND SHOULD BE PLUGGED DIRECTLY INTO A PROPERLY GROUNDED THREE-PRONG RECEPTACLE. DO NOT CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING PRONG FROM THIS PLUG.
DO NOT ROUTE POWER CORD UNDER OR IN FRONT OF APPLIANCE.
2.Local amendments?
3.Is a permit required - cost? (You may wish to contact your insurance company to ask if they require this).
4.Is outside combustion air required?
5.Rooms where the installation is not allowed?
SMOKE DETECTORS
Since there are always several potential sources of fire in any home, we recommend installing smoke detectors. If possible, install the smoke detector in a hallway adjacent to the room (to reduce the possibility of occasional false activation from the heat produced by the stove). If your local code requires a smoke detector be installed within the same room, you must follow the requirements of your local code. Check with your local building department for requirements in your area.
NOTE – This appliance is NOT approved for installation into a Manufactured (Mobile) Home in Canada
SELECTING A LOCATION
The design of your home and where you place your stove will determine its value as a source of heat. A wood stove depends primarily on air circulation (convection) to disperse its heat, and therefore, a central location is often best. There are other practical considerations, which must be considered before a final selection of locations is made.
♦Existing Chimneys
♦Wood Storage
♦Aesthetic Considerations
♦Roof Design (Rafter Locations & Roof Pitch)
♦Room Traffic
♦Proximity to Combustibles
♦Electrical Wiring
The installation of this stove will require some research. Once your options are determined, consult with your local building department who will be able to give you the necessary installation requirements for your area (Is a building permit required, Rooms where installation may not be allowed, etc.).
WARNING: CHECK ALL LOCAL BUILDING AND SAFETY CODES BEFORE INSTALLATION. THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AND APPROPRIATE CODE REQUIREMENTS MUST BE FOLLOWED EXACTLY AND WITHOUT COMPROMISE. ALTERATIONS TO THE STOVE ARE NOT ALLOWED. DO NOT CONNECT THE STOVE TO A CHIMNEY SYSTEM SERVING ANOTHER STOVE, APPLIANCE, OR ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS WILL VOID THE MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY.
If you plan to vent your stove into an existing masonry chimney, have it inspected by a local fire marshal or qualified installer. Remember that a stove's performance is heavily influenced by the chimney and its location on the roof. An oversized flue may not provide effective draw, and a flue liner may be required (see Draft Requirements on page 9). Consult your dealer or qualified installer before final selection is made.
This stove requires pre-installation work to be completed before installation can take place. This will include the preparation of the floor and appropriate hearth pad for acceptance of outside air (if applicable), and for modification for flue and chimney.

PROTECTED WALL CLEARANCE
Some local codes will allow reduced clearances when the stove is installed adjacent to a protected wall system. The variance must be approved by your local building official. Normally, the protected wall system is defined as a noncombustible material with a minimum of 1" (25.4 mm) air space behind. Check your local building codes or with a qualified installer (Ref. NFPA 211).
OUTSIDE AIR
In all manufactured (mobile) homes and in many site built residences (subject to local code), a stove may be required to use outside air for combustion. A 3” (76 mm) diameter outside air floor duct is available through your dealer.
This appliance utilizes a 3" (76 mm) diameter outside air floor duct (Catalog # 14M66). Outside air can be taken from beneath the home or through an outside wall. The collar for connecting flex to stove in on the underside of the stove as shown here.

INSTALLATION
MANUFACTURED (MOBILE) HOME REQUIREMENTS
This stove is certified as a Room Heater, Solid Fuel Type and may be used in Manufactured Housing providing the following requirements are followed:
•An outside air inlet must be provided for combustion and be unrestricted while unit is in use.
•WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL APPLIANCE IN A SLEEPING ROOM.
•CAUTION: THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE MOBILE HOME FLOOR, WALL, AND CEILING/ROOF MUST BE MAINTAINED.
•Regulations require that the appliance must be secured to the floor and grounded to the chassis. See Securing the Stove to the Floor (and) Grounding Stove below.
•Required venting is 6” (152 mm) diameter Type L-Vent connector pipe with listed factory-built 103HT chimney suitable for use with solid fuels or a code approved masonry chimney. Approved brands of factory built chimney are listed in this manual. A rain cap and spark arrestor are required (see Clearances, page 5).
•The chimney must provide for a section joint so that any parts extending above 13' 6" (343 mm) from ground level can be removed for transportation of the mobile dwelling.
SECURING THE STOVE TO THE FLOOR Manufactured (Mobile) Homes Only
Once the outside air floor duct is in position, replace the floor protector. Make sure that the floor protector's hole is aligned with the outside air opening. Next position and align the stove on the hearth pad. Manufactured (Mobile) home installations require that the stove be secured to the floor.
This ensures that the stove will not shift when the manufactured (mobile) home is moved. To do this, mark where the
from the stove to the chassis of the manufactured (mobile) home.
INSTALLING THE BAFFLE BRICKS
There are 2 brick retainer tube assemblies located below the ceiling of the firebox which require baffle brick before the stove can be operated. Install the baffle brick as follows:
1.Place the first three brick onto the brick retainers with the notch facing up and toward the front. Next, slide the three brick all the way to the right (as you face the stove. See top view illustration below).
2.Place the fourth brick on top of the three brick. Position it so the notch is facing up and pointing to the left.
3.Install the fifth brick and slide all the way to the left.
4.Rotate the fourth brick into position (notch to the front and facing up) until it drops into place.
IMPORTANT: The baffle brick requires periodic inspection and replacement for proper operation. If the baffle bricks are fractured or crumbling, they should be replaced. Do not operate this appliance without the baffle brick properly installed.
Installing Baffle Brick

holes are to be drilled using a marking instrument long enough and small enough to fit through the (4) four holes in the stove legs. Mark holes, then remove the stove. Drill the
(4) four holes, with a 1/4" (7 mm) drill bit. Drill down through the floor protector and the manufactured (mobile) home floor. Use 1/4" (7 mm) lag bolts and secure to the manufactured (mobile) home floor.
NOTE: If the composition of the manufactured (mobile) home floor is of light particleboard construction, you will be required to secure the stove with regular hex head bolts and nuts. This will ensure that the bolts will not rip out of the floor when the manufactured (mobile) home is being moved.
GROUNDING STOVE Manufactured (Mobile) Homes Only
Regulations require that all stoves installed in manufactured (mobile) homes must be grounded. To do this simply attach a piece of No. 8 copper wire, at least 18" (457 mm) in length

INSTALLATION
TYPES OF CHIMNEYS
The chimney is a vital part of your stove installation. A properly built masonry chimney or a properly installed factory built chimney will assure a consistent draft under a variety of weather conditions (a smoking stove is usually caused by a chimney problem). The stove flue size is 6 (152 mm) inches diameter, which is approximately 28 square inches (711 square mm) minimum. The maximum flue size should be no more than (3)-three times the cross sectional area of the size of the stove flue collar. In this case, that would be no larger than a 10-inch (254 mm) diameter stack, or approximately 85 square inches (216 square cm) maximum.
All chimneys must be installed as specified by local building codes and according to the chimney manufacturer instructions (in the case of a factory built chimney). See the chimney manufacturer instructions for exact specifications. Factory built chimneys must comply with UL 103HT or ULC S629.

ACCEPTABLE CONNECTOR PIPE FOR INSTALLATIONS
For Standard Residential Clearances: Six (6) inch (152 mm) minimum, single wall, 25 gage minimum thickness, stove pipe is acceptable. Three (3) predrilled holes are provided in the flue collar for fastening the pipe securely to the stove. Use sheet metal screws to do this. Additional sections of single wall pipe should be fastened together with at least three (3) sheet metal screws each section. When connecting to the factory built ceiling support package, use the manufacturer's transition piece, usually called a dripless connector, to join single wall pipe to their factory built chimney section.
Minimum Flue Size: The required minimum diameter and area required for the flue size is (respectively) 6 inches / 152 mm diameter, which is approximately 28 square inches / 711 square mm. The maximum flue size should be no more than (3) three times the cross sectional area of the size of the 6 inches / 152 mm diameter flue collar. In this case, that would be no larger than a 10 inch (254 mm) diameter (area = approx. 85 sq. inches [216 sq. cm]).
Connection To A Factory Built Chimney: This space heater is to be connected to a factory-built chimney conforming to CAN / ULC – S629, Standard for 650°C Factory-Built Chimneys.
For Reduced Residential Clearances: Type L and listed double wall connector pipe is acceptable. Install any factory built brand of pipe according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Vapor Barrier at Chimney Penetration
Install all venting components per the Vent Manufacturer’s installation instructions. Ensure that there is an effective vapor barrier at the location where the chimney penetrates to the exterior of the structure. This can be accomplished by applying a non-hardening waterproof sealant to the following components:
•Around the chimney at the point where the storm collar will meet the chimney just above the Flashing.
•Along the vertical seam of the chimney pipe, where it is exposed to the weather.
•On each nail head on the flashing.
•Around the chimney at the point where the storm collar will meet the chimney just above the flashing.
Notes:
•On a flat or tarred and graveled roofs, nail and seal the flat roof flashing to the roof on all sides with roofing compound.
•Do not put screws through the flashing into the chimney pipe.
CHIMNEY INSPECTION
Existing chimneys must be inspected before installing your stove. Consult your local building department for chimney code requirements. A masonry chimney must have a code approved liner. This liner must not have broken or missing pieces. Some non-code masonry chimneys may be brought up to code by being relined. (Consult your dealer or qualified chimney sweep). Factory built chimneys should also be inspected, first for creosote deposits (which should be removed), and then for integrity of the stainless steel liner. Look for obvious bulges in the lining which may indicate the need to replace that section (use a bright flashlight). Also, inspect the attic to see that the chimney has proper clearance to combustible framing members. For interior masonry chimneys and most factory built chimneys, this must be a (2) two inch (51 mm) air space clearance, which must not be filled with insulation or any other material. An exterior masonry chimney must have a (1) one-inch (25.4 mm) air space clearance.
