SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Do not operate your stove if you

smell smoke coming from it.

• Use only liquid gel or wax/sawdust fire starter

according to the stove’s operating instructions.
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 stove while it is in use.

• CAUTION: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RESTART THE
STOVE WHILE THE STOVE BODY IS STILL HOT. THE
GEL FIRE STARTER MAY VAPORIZE RESULTING IN
FLAME FLARE UP CAUSING BODILY INJURY.

• Never try to repair or replace any part of the stove

unless instructions are given in this manual. All other
work should be done by a trained technician.

• Contact your local building officials to obtain

a permit and information on any installation
restrictions or inspection requirements in your
area. The makers cannot anticipate every possible
method of using the stove. Notify your insurance
company of this stove installation, as well.

• This stove must be properly installed to prevent

the possibility of a structural fire. The instructions
must be strictly adhered to. Do not use makeshift
methods or compromises in the installation.

• The exhaust system must be completely airtight and

properly installed. It is recommended that the stove
vent joints be sealed with high temperature sealant.

• Your stove requires periodic maintenance and

cleaning (see “Maintaining Your Stove”).

• Failure to maintain your stove may lead to smoke spillage.

• Allow the stove to cool before carrying

out any maintenance or cleaning.

• Disposal of Ashes – Ashes should be placed in a steel

container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container
of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor
or on the ground, well away from all combustible
material, pending final disposal. If the ashes are
disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally
dispersed, they should be retained in the closed
container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.

• This stove is designed and approved for pelletized

wood fuel only. Any other type of fuel burned in
this stove will void the warranty and safety listing.

• Keep foreign objects out of the hopper.

• Do not place clothing or other flammable

items on or near the stove.

• The exhaust system should be checked at least

twice a year for any build-up of soot or creosote.

NEVER REDUCE THE
MINIMUM CLEARANCE DIMENSIONS
SHOWN
IN FIG. 3.1 AND FIG. 3.2.

• Prior to placing the Clarry® Pellet Stove in your structure, you must

burn the stove in for 20 minutes, to set the stove paint.

• Assemble the stove in an outdoor location according to

the directions above; bring it to operating temperature,
or to the point where the paint stops smoking.

• Make sure that any time you light the stove outdoors the chimney is not

positioned directly under a low hanging tree branch or near a structure.

• Once the stove has been burned in and cooled down, it is ready to install.

INSTALLATION OPTIONS

The Clarry® Pellet Stove is approved for an interior vertical through
the roof installation; horizontal through the wall to exterior vertical
installation and retrofit to existing masonry chimney installation.

NOTE: When using horizontal through the wall installation, floor

protection material must extend under the chimney connector
(the 28 gauge stove pipe) from the back or side of stove to the
wall. Floor protection width must be a minimum 2” wider on each
side of chimney connector, for a total minimum width of 8”.

PRE-INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATION

Sketch out a detailed plan of the installation including dimensions. Then
verify the dimensions with the requirements listed in this manual.

When determining the location of the stove, locate the ceiling trusses
(for vertical penetrations). You may wish to adjust the stove position slightly to
ensure the vent does not intersect with a framing member, but never reduce the
minimum clearance dimensions shown on the next page in FIG. 3.1 and FIG. 3.2.

STOVE PLACEMENT

Place the stove on non-combustible floor protection using wall clearance
dimensions for a straight (Fig. 3.1) or corner installation (Fig. 3.2)

Stove must be placed so that no combustibles are within, or can swing
within (doors, drapes, etc.), 36” of any surface of the stove. Heater
and floor protection must be installed on a level, secure floor.
