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.
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 e cient heat distribution possible throughout the house. e 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.
e 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 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. e R value for the required board is 1.03. If there
is a horizontal section of chimney connector, the oor protector should go under it and 2 inches beyond each
side
To calculate R-Values for alternative methods, see ALTERNATE FLOOR PROTECTOR CALCULATIONS
section in this manual.
e oor protector should exceed the stove as follows:
Dimension Inch mm
H Front 16 635
J** Left 6 153
K** Right 6 153
L** Back 1 25
M Total Width 46 1169
N Total Length 53.5 1359
* Canadian installations require 18” (457mm)
** Canadian installations require 8” (203mm)

CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES
It is of utmost importance that the clearances to combustible materials be strictly adhered to during installation of the
stove. Refer to the tables below :
Dimension Inch mm
A Backwall to Stove 16 406
B Sidewall to Stove 18 457
C Wall to corner (Angled Installation) 12 305
D Backwall to Flue 21.5 546
E Sidewall to Flue 30 762
F Wall to Flue (Angled Installation) 24 610
• Floor to ceiling height must be at least 7’ (2.13m) in all cases.
• Do not place any combustible material within 4’ (1.2m) of the front of the unit.
• e clearance between the ue pipe and a wall are valid only for vertical walls and for vertical ue pipe.
• e chimney connector must not pass through an attic or roof space, closet or similar concealed space, a 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 ue pipe crossing a combustible wall must have a minimum clearance of 18” (457.2mm).
• To reduce ue clearances from combustible materials, contact your local safety department.

CHIMNEY CONNECTOR (STOVE PIPE)
Your chimney connector and chimney must have the same diameter as the stove outlet (6”). If this is not the
case, we recommend you contact your dealer in order to insure there will be no problem with the dra .
e stove pipe must be made of aluminized or cold roll steel with a minimum thickness of 0.021” or 0.53 mm.
It is strictly forbidden to use galvanized steel.
Your smoke pipe should be assembled in such a way that the male section (crimped end) of the pipe faces down.
Attach each of the sections to one another with three equidistant metal screws.
e pipe must be short and straight. All sections installed horizontally must slope at least 1/4 inch per foot,
with the upper end of the section toward the chimney. Any installation with a horizontal run of chimney pipe
must conform to NFPA 211.
latest edition of the NFPA Standard 211.
To insure a good dra , the total length of the coupling pipe should never exceed 8’ to 10’ (2.4m to 3.04 m).
(Except for cases of vertical installation, cathedral-roof style where the smoke exhaust system can be much
longer and connected without problem to the chimney at the ceiling of the room).
ere should never be more than two 90 degrees elbows in the smoke exhaust system.
Installation of a “barometric dra stabilizer” ( replace register) on a smoke exhaust system is prohibited.
Furthermore, installation of a dra damper is not recommended. Indeed, with a controlled combustion wood
stove, the dra is regulated upon intake of the combustion air in the stove and not at the exhaust.
