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.

• CONSULT YOUR MUNICIPAL BUILDING DEPARTMENT OR FIRE OFFICIALS ABOUT PERMITS, 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 IN THIS HEATER. KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM THE HEATER WHILE IT IS IN USE.

• 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.

• THIS STOVE IS NOT INTENDED FOR INSTALLATION IN MOBILE OR MANUFACTURED HOMES.

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.

• Route power cord away from unit.

• Do not route power cord under or in front of appliance.

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

FREE STANDING STOVE CLEARANCES

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. 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 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 flue 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.

FLOOR PROTECTOR

The stove must be placed on solid concrete, solid masonry, or when installed on a combustible ﬂ oor, on a ﬂ oor protector. 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. If a ﬂ oor pad is used, it should be listed to UL 1618 (type 1 ember protection) or equal. For UL Listed ﬂ oor protectors, refer to manufacturers instructions for installation directions.

VENTILATION

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.

Make a 2” x 7” (51mm x 177mm) cutout through both the oor protector and home’s ooring aligned with the knockout in the pedistal base.

“Dryer Venting Kit” Installation

“Combustion Air thru Unit Base” Installation

If your choice is to cut a rectangular hole in the ﬂ oor and ﬂ ooring protector, refer to the above illustrations for assistance. You

must place a rodent screen between the ﬂ oor protector and the ﬂ oor to prevent passage of any unwanted vermin into your home.

If using a Dryer 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.

“COMBUSTION AIR THROUGH UNIT BASE” INSTALLATION:

First, decide the location of the appliance. Then, cut a 2” x 7” rectangular opening in the ﬂ oor protector within the appliance base’s perimeter. Using the ﬂ ooring protector as a template, position it in place and mark onto the ﬂ oor of your home where to make your next cut. Make the cut in your home’s ﬂ oor slightly larger than the 2” x 7” to accommodate any misalignment. Attach a piece of screen over the hole to prevent any unwanted vermin entering your home. Remove the knock-out from the bottom of the pedestal. Complete your appliance installation.

“DRYER 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.
