4.1 POSITIONING THE STOVE

It is very important to position the 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 stoves produce radiating heat, the heat we feel when we are close to a stove. A 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 use of a fan or blower.

4.2 FREE STANDING STOVE INSTALLATION

A 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. It is of the utmost importance that the clearances to combustible materials be strictly adhered to during installation of the stove. Refer to the table and diagrams below for minimum required clearances.

• Do not place any combustible material within 4’ (1.2m) of the front of the unit.

• The clearance between the ﬂ ue pipe and a wall are valid only for vertical walls and for vertical ﬂ ue pipe.

• The chimney connector must not pass through an attic or roof space, closet or similar concealed space, a ﬂ oor, or a ceiling.

• For Canadian installations, where passage through a wall, or partition of combustible construction is desired, the installation must conform to CAN/CSA-B365.

• A ﬂ ue pipe crossing a combustible wall must have a minimum clearance of 18” (457.2mm).

• To reduce ﬂ ue clearances from combustible materials, contact your local safety department.

4.3 INSERT STOVE INSTALLATION

The installer must attach a metal tag as required by UL1482 Clause 5.1.11 using screws or nails to the ﬁ replace, in a location readily

visible should the ﬁ replace insert be removed, if the ﬁ replace has been modiﬁ ed to accommodate the ﬁ replace insert.

Thermal Protection Requirements

ABCDEF GH I

4.4 FLOOR PROTECTOR

The stove must be placed on solid concrete, solid masonry, or when installed on a combustible ﬂ oor, on a Type 2 ﬂ oor protector listed to standard UL 1618 with a minimum R value of 1.03 and a minimum thickness of 1/2” or equivalent. The ﬂ oor protector is required to provide heat, live ember, and ash protection and must be of a non-combustible, continuous solid surface to protect against inﬁ ltration of live embers and ash. For UL Listed ﬂ oor protectors, refer to manufacturers instructions for installation directions. Manufacturers of listed ﬂ oor protectors include Imperial Metal Products and Hy-C among others.

5.0 VENTILATION

5.1 COMBUSTION AIR ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance requires a source of combustion air. If your home is of tight construction or has negative pressure problems, you

will need an outside source of air. Below is a list of possible indicators that a source of outside combustion air may be required.

1. Your stove does not draw steadily, smoke rollout occurs, wood burns poorly, or back-drafts occur whether or not there is combustion present.

2. Existing fuel-ﬁ red equipment in the house, such as ﬁ replaces or other heating appliances, smell, do not operate properly, suffer smoke roll-out when opened, or back-drafts occur whether or not there is combustion present.

3. Opening a window slightly on a calm (windless) day alleviates any of the above symptoms.

4. The house is equipped with a well-sealed vapor barrier and tight ﬁ tting windows and/or has any powered devices that exhaust house air.

5. There is excessive condensation on windows in the winter.

6. A ventilation system is installed in the house.

If an outside air intake is required. You have two options. You may cut a rectangular hole in the ﬂ oor of your home and the ﬂ oor

protector, or purchase a standard 4” Dryer Vent kit from your local hardware supply store and install it on the rear of the pedestal.

“INTAKE VENTING KIT”

INSTALLATION

If using a Intake venting kit, the outlet cover must be of a design that DOES NOT close by means of a ﬂ ap or trap door.

You must purchase a style that allows a continuous in-ﬂ ow of air and that has a rodent screen.

“INTAKE VENTING KIT” INSTALLATION:

First using a pair of pliers or other means, remove the metal plate from the back of the pedestal and bend the tabs out. Follow the

manufacturer’s installation instructions for attaching the dryer vent kit to the home. Then attach it to the appliance.
