Getting Started

A. Design, Installation & Location Considerations

1. Appliance Location

NOTICE: Check building codes prior to installation.

• Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and
national codes and regulations.

• Consult insurance carrier, local building inspector, re

ofcials or authorities having jurisdiction over restrictions,

installation inspection and permits.

It is a good idea to plan your installation on paper, using

exact measurements for clearances and oor protection,

before actually beginning the installation. Location of the
appliance and chimney will affect performance.

Consideration must be given to:

• Safety, convenience, trafc ow

• Placement of the chimney and chimney connector and to
minimize the use of chimney offsets.

• Place the appliance where there will be a clear passage
for a Listed chimney through the ceiling and roof (vertical)
or through exterior wall (horizontal).

• Installing the required outside air kit will affect the location
of the vent termination.

When locating vent and venting termination, the ideal
location is to vent above roof line when possible. This
minimizes the affects of wind loading.

Since pellet exhaust can contain ash, soot or sparks,
you must consider the location of:

• Windows

• Air Intakes

• Air Conditioner

• Overhang, softs, porch roofs, adjacent walls

• Landscaping, vegetation

• Horizontal or vertical vent termination

1. Floor Support

The supporting oor under the appliance must be able to

handle the weight of the appliance, fuel load and the weight
of the chimney.

Ensure that your oor will support these weights prior to
installation. Add sufcient additional support to meet this

weight requirement prior to installation. The weight of the
appliance is 173 lbs.

WARNING

Risk of Fire.

Damaged parts could impair safe operation.

Do NOT install damaged, incomplete or

substitute components.

on the appliance’s operation.

• Maximum wire length from appliance is 100 feet (30.48m)
continuous non-spliced wire. Recommended 20 gauge
wire, solid copper.

• When located close to the appliance, it may require a
slightly higher temperature setting to keep the rest of the
house comfortable.

• When located in an adjacent room or on a different

oor level, you will notice higher temperatures near

the appliance.
