INSTALLATION

SAFETY NOTICE

• IF THIS STOVE IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED, A HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, BODILY INJURY, OR EVEN DEATH.

• CONSULT YOUR MUNICIPAL BUILDING DEPARTMENT OR FIRE OFFICIALS ABOUT RESTRICTIONS AND INSTALLATIONS REQUIREMENTS IN YOUR AREA.

• USE SMOKE DETECTORS IN THE ROOM WHERE YOUR STOVE IS INSTALLED.

• KEEP FURNITURE AND DRAPES WELL AWAY FROM THE STOVE.

• NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID, OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR “FRESHEN UP” A FIRE. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM THE STOVE.

• IN THE EVENT OF A CHIMNEY FIRE, PUSH THE AIR CONTROL FULL CLOSED TO DEPRIVE THE FIRE OF OXYGEN. CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

• DO NOT CONNECT TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR SYSTEM.

• A SOURCE OF FRESH AIR INTO THE ROOM OR SPACE HEATED SHALL BE PROVIDED WHEN REQUIRED.

POSITIONING THE STOVE

It is very important to position the wood stove as close as possible to the chimney, and in an area that will favor the most efﬁ cient heat distribution possible throughout the house. The stove must therefore be installed in the room where the most time is spent, and in the most spacious room possible. Recall that wood stoves produce radiating heat, the heat we feel when we are close to a wood stove. A wood stove also functions by convection, that is through the displacement of hot air accelerated upwards and its replacement with cooler air. If necessary, the hot air distribution from the stove may be facilitated by the installation of a blower.

The wood stove must not be hooked up to a hot air distribution system since an excessive accumulation of heat may occur.

A wood stove must never be installed in a hallway or near a staircase, since it may block the way in case of ﬁ re or fail to respect required clearances.

FLOOR PROTECTOR

Your wood stove should be placed on a 1 inch, non-combustible surface with a k factor of 0.84. For multiple layers, add R-values of each layer to determine the overall R-value. The R value for the required board is 1.2. If there is a horizontal section of chimney connector, the ﬂ oor protector should go under it and 2 inches beyond each side

Convert speciﬁ cation to R-value: k-factor is given with a required thickness (T) in inches: R=1/k x T C-factor is given: R=1/C

Example: If the ﬂ oor protector is 4” brick with a C-factor of 1.25 over 1/8” mineral board with a “k” factor of 0.29 the total R-value of the system is: 4” brick C=1.25, R=1/1.25=0.8 1/8” mineral board K=0.29, R=1/0.29 x 0.125=0.431 Total R = Rbrick + Rmineral = 0.8 + 0.431 = 1.231 Total R is greater than 1.2, the system is acceptable.

The ﬂ oor protector should exceed the stove as follows:
